Individualized Medicine Between Hype and Hope
"Individualized medicine" is a catchphrase currently used to denote efforts in medical research and practice to establish tailored healthcare. The vision of "personalized" medicine has proved to be highly ambivalent, reflecting hype and hope - compared to the great expectations only very few applications have been realized up to now. The contributions to this volume discuss the challenges for patients, doctors, and the healthcare system and examine ethical and societal issues arising from one the most promising and most controversial developments in medical science and biotechnology.

Romance Fiction
A comprehensive guide that defines the literature and the outlines the best-selling genre of all time: romance fiction. More than 2,000 romances are published annually, making it difficult for fans and the librarians who advise them to keep pace with new titles, emerging authors, and constant evolution of this dynamic genre. Fortunately, romance expert and librarian Kristin Ramsdell provides a definitive guide to this fiction genre that serves as an indispensible resource for those interested in it—including fans searching for reading material—as well as for library staff, scholars, and romance writers themselves. This title updates the last edition of Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre, published in 1999.While the emphasis is on newer titles, many of the important older classics are retained, keeping the focus of the book on the entire genre, instead of only those titles published during the last decade. Specific changes include new chapters on linked and continuing romances, a new section on "Chick Lit" in the Contemporary Romance chapter, an expansion of coverage on the alternative reality subset. This is THE romance genre guide to have.

Parallelwelt
Zu den Erstaunlichkeiten der DDR gehörte der Umstand, dass es neben dem "einheitlichen sozialistischen Bildungssystem" ein vielfältiges konfessionell bzw. kirchlich gebundenes Bildungswesen gab. Dieses reichte von Kindergärten, Schulen und Konvikten über Vorseminare, Berufsausbildungen, Fort- und Weiterbildungen oder kirchliche Hochschulen bis zu Bildungshäusern, Evangelischen Akademien, Filmdiensten, Kunstdiensten und einem ausdifferenzierten Mediensystem. Es bestand überwiegend aus Einrichtungen in Trägerschaft von Kirchen oder Religionsgemeinschaften, im Einzelfall, etwa den Theologie-Sektionen an den Universitäten, aber auch aus staatlich getragenen Institutionen. Die Anzahl der ...
Unverschämt - schön
Sexualität als menschliche Gestaltungsaufgabe Sie ist eine aufregende Gabe und manchmal eine schwere Last, sie ist die Form intimster Nähe und manchmal ein Mittel grausamster Gewalt: Die Rede ist von der Sexualität des Menschen. Wie kann sie in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen verantwortlich und als Bereicherung des Lebens kultiviert werden? Wie werden evangelische Kirche und Theologie zu diesem Thema und in diesem Sinne sprachfähig? In der Wahrnehmung von humanwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und theologischer Deutung bietet dieses Buch Impulse für eine evangelische Sexualethik, die sexuelle Freiheit und Verantwortlichkeit in den orientierenden Horizont der Liebe stellt. Eine mutige Grundlegung evangelischer Sexualethik auf der Höhe der aktuellen Debatten Eine positionsstarke Einladung zur Diskussion
