Obawy i mity, które narosły wokół szczepień ochronnych, krążą w przestrzeni publicznej od dekad. Rozstrzygnięciu wątpliwości nie pomagają media szukające skandali, a internet – choć może stanowić źródło wiedzy – często wprowadza jedynie chaos, niczym wirus rozprzestrzeniając błędne i niesprawdzone wiadomości. Mimo że naukowcy od dekad pracują nad ulepszaniem szczepionek, wiedza wciąż przegrywa z pogłoskami. Dlaczego zagrożenia związane z brakiem szczepień są lekceważone, a w siłę rosną teorie spiskowe? A może kwestia szczepień nie jest wcale tak...

Seth Mnookin was given access never before granted to a reporter for this fascinating inside account of the Boston Red Sox. As a result he has written perhaps the best book yet about a professional sports team in America.

Feeding the Monster shows what it takes to win a championship, both on and off the field. Seth Mnookin spent mornings in the front office, afternoons in the clubhouse, and evenings in the owners' box. He learned how the Sox persuaded Curt Schilling to sign, why Nomar Garciaparra resented his teammates, and what led to Pedro Martinez's acrimonious exit. He knows...

The Moon Makes Its Own Plea is a departure from Wendy Mnookin's previous work. Rather than considering a single experience that transforms her perception of her world (such as a child's illness, a father's death), Mnookin explores the idea of self and how that self is strengthened and challenged by relationships.

Wendy Mnookin's previous books include To Get Here (BOA Editions, 1999) and What He Took (BOA Editions, 2002), which won the New England Poetry Prize. Her...

A moving poetic sequence that examines the effect of a tragic car accident on a young girl.

WHO DECIDES WHICH FACTS ARE TRUE?

In 1998 Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist with a history of self-promotion, published a paper with a shocking allegation: the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine might cause autism. The media seized hold of the story and, in the process, helped to launch one of the most devastating health scares ever. In the years to come Wakefield would be revealed as a profiteer in league with class-action lawyers, and he would eventually lose his medical license. Meanwhile one study after another failed to find any link between childhood vaccines and autism....

On May 11, 2003, The New York Times devoted four pages of its Sunday paper to the deceptions of Jayson Blair, a mediocre former Times reporter who had made up stories, faked datelines, and plagiarized on a massive scale. The fallout from the Blair scandal rocked the Times to its core and revealed fault lines in a fractious newsroom that was already close to open revolt.
Staffers were furious-about the perception that management had given Blair more leeway because he was black, about the special treatment of favored correspondents, and most of all about the shoddy...

The art of negotiation--from one of the country's most eminent practitioners and the Chair of the Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation.

One of the country's most eminent practitioners of the art and science of negotiation offers practical advice for the most challenging conflicts--when you are facing an adversary you don't trust, who may harm you, or who you may even feel is evil. This lively, informative, emotionally compelling book identifies the tools one needs to make wise decisions about life's most challenging conflicts.

Explores current negotiation theory, providing a framework for understanding the complexity of negotiating for others.

Why can't we all just get along? In family life, schools, law, the business world, and domestic and international affairs, it is all too common for disputes to fester unresolved even when the parties are committed to a negotiated settlement. In this book members and associates of the Stanford Center on Conflict and Negotiation address the complex issues that protract disputes and turn potential win-win negotiations into conflicts that leave everyone worse off.
