Gábor Lövei’s scientific communication course for students and scientists explores the intricacies involved in publishing primary scientific papers, and has been taught in more than twenty countries. Scientific Writing for the Non-English Speaker is the distillation of Lövei’s lecture notes and experience gathered over two decades; it is the course book many have been waiting for. The book’s three main sections correspond with the three main stages of a paper’s journey from idea to print: planning, writing, and publishing. Within the book’s chapters, complex questions such as ‘How to write the introduction?’ or ‘How to submit a manuscript?’ are broken down into smaller, more manageable problems that are then discussed in a straightforward, conversational manner, providing an easy and enjoyable reading experience. This volume stands out from its field by targeting scientists whose first language is not English. While also touching on matters of style and grammar, the book’s main goal is to advise on first principles of communication. Scientific Writing for the Non-English Speaker is an excellent resource for any student or scientist wishing to learn more about the scientific publishing process and scientific communication. It will be especially useful to those coming from outside the English-speaking world and looking for a comprehensive guide for publishing their work in English.

L'ouvrage est consacré à l'impossibilité actuelle de bien communiquer la science. L'Europe manque d'une véritable culture dans ce domaine. L'analyse des crises récentes (Tchernobyl, OGM, vache folle, grippe aviaire) révèle des exemples flagrants d'incommunication publique. Cette situation handicape fortement les interactions entre science et société et l'appropriation, par le public, des avancées technoscientifiques. Pour développer une culture de la communication de la science, l'ouvrage propose notamment d'instaurer des « jurys d'assises de la technoscience » en systématisant voire en institutionnalisant les conférences de citoyens.

Die Welt des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten zahlreiche einschneidende Veränderungen erlebt und befindet sich weiterhin in einem ständigen Umbruch. Den mit diesen Prozessen verbundenen Herausforderungen widmet sich der vorliegende Band, der die Forschungsergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppe »Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Kommunikationssystems« der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften vereint. Er lenkt den Blick erstmals auf den Zusammenhang zwischen vier Entwicklungslinien: Digitalisierung, Ökonomisierung, die zunehmende Außenbeobachtung von Publikationsaktivitäten anhand formaler Merkmale sowie die verstärkte Beobachtung durch die Massenmedien und deren Auswirkungen auf das wissenschaftliche Publikationssystem. Die Beiträge des ersten Teils geben die Sicht- und Herangehensweisen der zentralen Akteurgruppen wieder: Verlage, Bibliotheken und Wissenschaftler. Expertisen zur Diskussion über das Urheberrecht sowie zu wissenschaftspolitischen Initiativen finden sich im zweiten Teil. Der abschließende dritte Teil richtet den Blick in die Zukunft und gibt kontroverse Ausblicke auf eine wünschenswerte Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens. Der Band richtet sich an Wissenschaftler, Wissenschaftsorganisationen, Bibliotheken und Verlage.

Chronic pain is a medical mystery, debilitating to patients and a source of frustration for practitioners. It often eludes both cause and cure and serves as a reminder of how much further we have to go in unlocking the secrets of the body. A new field of pain medicine has evolved from this landscape, one that intersects with dozens of disciplines and subspecialties ranging from psychology and physiology to anesthesia and chiropractic medicine. Over the past three decades, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have struggled to define this complex and often contentious field as they work to establish standards while navigating some of the most challenging philosophical issues of Western science. In The Politics of Pain Medicine: A Rhetorical-Ontological Inquiry, S. Scott Graham offers a rich and detailed exploration of the medical rhetoric surrounding pain medicine. Graham chronicles the work of interdisciplinary pain management specialists to found a new science of pain and a new approach to pain medicine grounded in a more comprehensive biospychosocial model. His insightful analysis demonstrates how these materials ultimately shape the healthcare community's understanding of what pain medicine is, how the medicine should be practiced and regulated, and how practitioner-patient relationships are best managed. It is a fascinating, novel examination of one of the most vexing issues in contemporary medicine.

This open access book deals with cultural and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and pleads for a “digital humanism”. This term is beginning to be en vogue everywhere. Due to a growing discontentment with the way digitalization is being used in the world, particularly formulated by former heroes of Internet, social media and search engine companies, philosophical as well as industrial thought leaders begin to plead for a humane use of digital tools. Yet the term “digital humanism” is a particular terminology that lacks a sound conceptual and philosophical basis and needs clarification still – and this gap is exactly filled by this book. It propagates a vision of society in which digitization is used to strengthen human self-determination, autonomy and dignity and whose time has come to be propagated throughout the world. The advantage of this book is that it is philosophically sound and yet written in a way that will make it accessible for everybody interested in the subject. Every chapters begins with a film scene illustrating a precise philosophical problem with AI and how we look at it – making the book not only readable, but even entertaining. And after having read the book the reader will have a clear vision of what it means to live in a world where digitization and AI are central technologies for a better and more humane civilization.
