Vaccines are a debate, whether we want them to be or not. Now more than ever, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the accusations and arguments that bloom across the news and internet.With a blend of science and history, HOW VACCINES WORK demystifies the strange and intricate world of vaccines: it explains what a vaccine is, how they are discovered and developed, and what happens when they meet our bodies.With over two decades of experience as an immunologist, David Miles gives expert insight into each vaccine routinely used in Britain, how they have kept us healthy, and why many people have come to worry about possible side effects. Through thrilling storytelling and in-depth exploration of the most common vaccination myths, HOW VACCINES WORK is the perfect guide to understanding all the vaccines we currently receive.

Reformulating a problem of both constitutionalism and liberalism discussed in the works of Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde, Hannah Arendt, and Alexis de Tocqueville, the book examines one generally overlooked manifestation of constitutionalism: the role of the courts in shaping democratic politics and the inter-relationship between citizens and state.Drawing on constitutional history, law, and political theory, David Miles argues that constitutionalism cannot be seen merely as an institutional mechanism to limit government, as it also has a crucial civic dimension upon which the liberal state depends. Utilising the works of Böckenförde, Arendt, and Tocqueville, constitutionalism is conceived in the book as part of a broader system of communal norms which sustains representative democracy and liberalism. Through an analysis of judicial interventions in the electoral processes of the United States and Germany, Miles explores the role of civil society actors in transforming constitutionalism through legal challenges to oligarchical or exclusionary practices. He assesses how, in adjudicating these cases, the US Supreme Court and the German Constitutional Court have mediated the tension between threats to stability and the imperative of democratic renewal.Democracy, the Courts, and the Liberal State will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners interested in comparative politics, political theory, and constitutional law and history.

Focusing on the British Isles, the author explores a period of huge societal change – the Neolithic, or ‘New Stone Age’ – through the most iconic artifact of its time: the polished stone axe, using an ancient stone axe-head brought to him by a local quarry worker as a guide to the revolution that changed the world. These formidable creations were not only crucial tools that enabled the first farmers to clear the forests, but also objects of great symbolic importance, signifying status and power, wrapped up in expressions of religion and politics. Mixing anecdote, ethnography and archaeological analysis, the author vividly demonstrates how the archaeology on the ground reveals to us the evolving worldview of a species increasingly altering their own landscape; settling down together, investing in agricultural plots, and collectively erecting massive ceremonial monuments to cement new communal identities. As a direct result of the invention, and intensification, of agriculture, the planet entered the Anthropocene, or the current ‘age of humanity’: an era in which we are changing the world around us in significant, accelerating and often unpredictable ways. As the author poignantly concludes, our ancestors set us on the path to the modern world we live in; now seven billion humans must face the challenges that presents.With 76 illustrations, 24 in colour

An in-depth cultural and archaeological history of one of England's great ancient monuments: the White Horse at Uffington. The White Horse at Uffington is an icon of the English landscape – a sleek, almost abstract figure 120 yards long which was carved into the green turf of the spectacular chalk scarp of the North Wessex Downs in the early first millennium BC. For centuries antiquarians, travellers and local people speculated about the age of the Horse, who created it and why. Was it a memorial to King Alfred the Great’s victory over the heathen Danes, an emblem of the first Anglo-Saxon settlers or a prehistoric banner, announcing the territory of a British tribe? Or was the Horse an actor in an elaborate prehistoric ritual, drawing the sun across the sky? The rich history of this ancient figure and its surroundings can help us understand how people have created and lived in the Downland landscape, which has inspired artists, poets and writers including Eric Ravilious, John Betjeman and J.R.R. Tolkien. The White Horse itself is most remarkable because it is still here. People have cared for it and curated it for centuries, even millennia. In that time the meaning of the Horse has changed, yet it has remained a symbol of continuity and is a myth for modern times.

The Cotswold Water Park Project is a landscape study centred upon parts of the Upper Thames Valley within what is now the Cotswold Water Park. The report is based upon four key excavated rural settlements, the most extensive being that at Claydon Pike, which dated primarily from the middle Iron Age to the late Roman period. A number of middle Saxon burials were also found. The other Water Park settlements dated to the late Iron Age-Roman period and the 2nd to 3rd century AD. The report has incorporated the results of these excavations into a wider synthesis of landscape development in the region, including aspects of material culture, environment and the economy.

Providing an exploration of the discussion on how a stronger ethical basis for the work of environmental health practitioners (EHPs) can contribute to improved public health, because EHPs/environmental health officers (EHOs) come into daily contact with members of the public to address threats to their health and wellbeing. This book examines what is meant by professional ethics and the role of professional bodies in ensuring members of the profession act ethically. They should be expected to act as guardians of the public interest, without fear or favour. Ethics is an integral part of public health decision-making and needs to be incorporated into public and environmental health policy development and decision-making. This work, while seeking to stimulate debate within the environmental health profession, will examine what this means for EHPs.Ethics and the Environmental Health Profession: The Importance of Being Ethical explores the process of ethical decision-making in the environmental health profession and asks the question of whom EHPs have an ethical duty towards in their work. It looks at a variety of ethical issues which arise for EHPs working in local government, as consultants or for commercial companies.This book is useful for EHPs globally, other local government officers, educational establishments where environmental and public health courses are run globally, elected members of local authorities, and policymakers at national and local government levels.

Macroeconomics: Understanding the Global Economy, 3rd Edition is to help students – and indeed anyone – understand contemporary and past economic events that shape the world we live in, and at a sophisticated level. But it does so without focusing on mathematical techniques and models for their own sake. Theory is taken seriously – so much so that the authors go to pains to understand the key aspects of theories in a way that will not put people off before they see how theories are useful to analyse issues. The authors believe that theories are essential to better understand the world, thus the book includes a wealth of historic and current episodes and data to both see how theories can help interpret the world and also to judge their validity.Economies today are very inter-connected; what happens in China matters pretty much everywhere; and what happens in one (even small) country in the euro zone has implications for the whole euro area and beyond, consequently Macroeconomics, 3rd Edition adopts a very international focus.

A fascinating history of our most common illness, written by a leading immunologist.The tickle in the back of your throat; the cough that won’t let you sleep; the stuffy nose and the constant need to sneeze – these symptoms are sadly all too familiar. Having a cold is so common in our day-to-day experience that we tend to see it as an inevitable inconvenience, rather than an illness that we should do something about.But despite its persistence in our lives, the common cold is still somewhat of a mystery. The cold virus is mostly harmless, arguably man-made and has become a multi-billion-pound burden on our civilisation. For the last 100 years, scientists have been trying to explain what exactly colds are and where they come from – with mixed results.Sneeze is the conclusion to a century’s worth of research on colds, starting from the foundational discovery that colds are caused by viruses, up to developments made during the pandemic. This vital book explores the history and science of the common cold, and explains how we as a society become better at avoiding them and fighting them, and, perhaps most ambitiously, the practical steps we can take to stop spreading them.Inside, you will discover:The crucial differences between a cold and the fluHow colds really spread (it’s not what you think)Why some people stay healthy while others always get sickPractical, science-backed ideas to help you through your next coldWith comprehensive science and richly detailed storytelling, Sneeze will ensure that you will never see that everyday sniffle in quite the same way again.

A tickle in the back of your throat? A cough that won't let you sleep? A stuffy nose and a constant need to sneeze?When it comes to understanding the common cold, we have all had plenty of first-hand experience. We are all too familiar with the symptoms of the cold virus, having caught and fought one every few months on average. At this point, the cold is seen as an inevitable inconvenience, rather than an illness that should be wiped out.Dr David Miles, a world-leading immunologist, has amassed over a century of research on the common cold, starting from the foundational discovery that colds are caused by viruses, up to developments made during the pandemic.In Sneeze, Dr Miles looks at what exactly colds are and where they come from, to reveal practical steps we can take to avoid catching them, fighting them and, perhaps most ambitiously, the steps that we as a society can take to make our environment less conducive to spreading them.Comprehensive and richly detailed, Sneeze is the story of the common cold, and why it doesn't need to be as common as we have come to imagine.

Det visar sig att Jesus från Nasaret är den Messias, befriaren, som Gamla testamentet talar om. Men Jesus blir inte väl mottagen. Han motsvarar inte alls förväntningarna. Gång på gång bryter han sociala mönster och koder. Han umgås med både orena och invandrare, hjälper och helar de sjuka. Dessutom hävdar Jesus att Guds folk inte längre har med nationalitet att göra nu kan alla få del av Guds rike. Detta är den illustrerade utgåvan av Matteus berättelse om Jesus i Svenska Bibelkommissionens översättning Bibel 2000. Samma text nu med bilder. Det illustrerade Matteusevangeliet av Bibel 2000 från Marcus Förlag ingår i en serie med de fyra evangelierna, illustrerade av Keith Neely och David Miles. Texterna är den kompletta utgåvan av Svenska Bibelkommissionens översättning Bibel 2000 med kapitel- och versindelning samt parallellhänvisningar.
