Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at alllevels, in modern popular culture But what happens to the ожцин Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to th above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang In the emerging cosmological scenario the Universe, at the epoch of the big bang, instead of being a"new born baby" was actually a rather "aged" creature in the middle of its possibly infinitely enduring evolution The aim of this book is to convey this picture in non-technical language accessibile also to non-specialists The author, himself a leading osmologist, draws attention to ongoing and future observations that might reveal relics of an era before the big bang.  2008 г Твердый переплет, 208 стр ISBN 3540744193.

When the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy emerged as a political compromise under Bill Clinton in 1993, it only ended up worsening the destructive gay ban that had been on the books since World War II Drawing on more than a decade of research and hundreds of interviews, Nathaniel Frank exposes the military’s policy toward gays and lesbians ожциш as damaging and demonstrates that “don’t ask, don’t tell” must be replaced with an outright reversal of the gay ban Frank is one of the nation’s leading experts on gays in the military, and in his evenhanded and always scrupulously documented chronicle, he reveals how the ban on open gays and lesbians in the U S military has greatly increased discharges, hampered recruitment, and—contrary to the rationale offered by proponents of the ban—led to lower morale and cohesion within military ranks Frank does not shy away from tackling controversial issues, and he presents indisputable evidence showing that gays already serve openly without causing problems, and that the policy itself is weakening the military it was supposed to protect In addition to the moral pitfalls of the gay ban, Frank shows the practical damage it has wrought Most recently, the discharge of valuable Arabic translators (who happen to be gay) under the current policy has left U S forces ill-equipped in the fight against terrorism Part history, part expose, and fully revealing, Unfriendly Fire is poised to become the definitive story of “don’t ask, don’t tell ” This lively and compelling narrative is sure to make the blood boil of any American who cares about national security, the right to speak the truth, or just plain common sense and fairness.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 368 стр ISBN 0312373481.

For more than a century, the American medical profession insisted that doctors be rigorously trained in medical science and dedicated to professional ethics Patients revered their doctors as representatives of a sacred vocation Do we still trust doctors with the same conviction? In Trusting Doctors, Jonathan Imber attributes the development ожцие of patients' faith in doctors to the inspiration and influence of Protestant and Catholic clergymen during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries He explains that as the influence of clergymen waned, and as reliance on medical technology increased, patients' trust in doctors steadily declined Trusting Doctors discusses the emphasis that Protestant clergymen placed on the physician's vocation; the focus that Catholic moralists put on specific dilemmas faced in daily medical practice; and the loss of unchallenged authority experienced by doctors after World War II, when practitioners became valued for their technical competence rather than their personal integrity Imber shows how the clergy gradually lost their impact in defining the physician's moral character, and how vocal critics of medicine contributed to a decline in patient confidence The author argues that as modern medicine becomes defined by specialization, rapid medical advance, profit-driven industry, and ever more anxious patients, the future for a renewed trust in doctors will be confronted by even greater challenges Trusting Doctors provides valuable insights into the religious underpinnings of the doctor-patient relationship and raises critical questions about the ultimate place of the medical profession in American life and culture.  2008 г Твердый переплет, 296 стр ISBN 0691135746.
