This is a re-examination of research ethics across a broad range of disciplines. It combines case studies and commentaries by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and researchers to explore such issues as informed consent, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and research on illegal behaviour. All human subjects research takes place within complex social, cultural and political contexts, the contributors argue. Increased consideration of the relationships between researchers and their subjects, funders and institutions within these contexts should facilitate research that is sensitive and responsible as well as scientifically fruitful. The book contains a keynote essay by Ruth Macklin. Other contributors include Jorge Balan, B. Susan Bauer, J. Pat Browder, Renee C. Fox, Loretta M. Kopelman, Barry M. Popkin, Ronald P. Strauss and Weith A. Wayloo.

Across a broad range of disciplines — in medicine, social science, and the humanities — researchers, scholars, teachers, and administrators increasingly are looking for new ways to approach ethical issues in research with human subjects. Questions about how relationships between funders and researchers should affect research design, for example, or whether the potential benefits of research can outweigh the importance of its subjects'' interests are inadequately addressed by the prevailing, regulation-based research ethics paradigm.This book constitutes a reexamination of research ethics.

All research takes place in complex social, cultural, political, and economic contexts; yet the prevailing principle-based research ethics paradigm does not adequately account for them.This book reexamines research ethics using a new relationships paradigm. Through in-depth cases, commentaries, and essays, a multidisciplinary group of scholars and researchers addresses informed consent, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and other issues, considering questions like: What relationships should researchers have with their subjects'' communities? When researchers and subjects have different views about research, who should have control? How should relationships between funders and researchers affect research design? Can research be so potentially beneficial that its importance outweighs the interests of subjects? Examining the relationships between researchers and subjects, communities, funders, and institutions — including considerations of authority and voice — can facilitate human subjects research that is morally sensitive and responsible as well as scientifically fruitful.

In a world of vampires and shifters, angels and demons are a myth. Anthea Black is one of those myths, an angel. For Anthea Black, it's business as usual, friends setting her up for blind dates, working in her adoptive family's business and with the paranormal community as a silent witness to what happens in the shadows of the city. Then the vampire Arkin Kane arrives to secure his power base and clean up the mess his predecessor made. Both have secrets, hers the fact that she is an angel, and sparks fly as they try to keep it business as usual. Until a self-proclaimed psychic declares that a darkness is coming for Anthea. Arkin wants to keep her safe, she wants to keep her secret, but that is easier than it sounds. For Anthea is about to find out just what it means to be an angel and meet the other half of the myth, a demon.
