Recenzje

London is remarkably successful. The book is a singular work of ambition and scope, yielding promising analyses of a wide range of issues, from a comprehensive approach to research riskâassessment, to the ethics of international research, control arms, adaptive designs, learning health systems, and a nonpaternalistic account of research oversight, among others. It is consistently penetrating, combining meticulous argument with illuminating exposition of the historical roots of the discipline and its formative debates...For the Common Good deserves to set the agenda for foundational work in research ethics for years to come.
