Kunnen we straks spreken van Vóór en Ná Corona zoals van Voor en Na Christus? Is corona een gamechanger, een keerpunt in de geschiedenis? Of zal zodra er een vaccin is alles toch bij het oude blijven? Intussen is het COVID-19-virus al veel meer dan een 'griepje' gebleken. De samenlevingen die door het virus getroffen zijn, hebben het in meer of mindere mate zwaar te verduren (gehad). De uiteindelijke balans van de schade is nog onzeker, maar zal naar verwachting heel fors zijn. Tegelijk zijn er nieuwe kansen. Dit vlugschrift van hoop - in korte tijd tot stand gebracht - past in het werk van inspiratie, reflectie en bemoediging, de basis van de uitgaven van Berne Media. Het hoort tot het DNA van de abdij en haar uitgeverij om juist in deze bewogen tijd haar stem te laten horen in het maatschappelijk debat. We hebben bevlogen mensen uit ons directe netwerk gevraagd hun persoonlijke en professionele licht te laten schijnen op de coronacrisis en lijnen uit te zetten naar de toekomst.

This is a new edition of the first comprehensive text to show how the advances in molecular and cellular biology and in the basic neurosciences have brought the revolution in molecular medicine to the field of psychiatry. The book begins with a review of basic neuroscience and methods for studying neurobiology in human patients then proceeds to discussions of all major psychiatric syndromes with respect to knowledge of their etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment. Emphasis is placed on synthesizing information across numerous levels of analysis, including molecular biology and genetics, cellular physiology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and behavior, and in translating information from the basic laboratory to the clinical laboratory and finally to clinical treatment. Editors Dennis Charney and Eric Nestle, along with their six section editors and over 150 contributors, have revised and updated all 80 chapters from the previous edition and have added new chapters on topics relating to, for example, genetics, experimental therapeutics, and late-life mood disorders. Both a textbook and a reference book, Neurobiology of Mental Illness is intended for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and upper level students.

Throughout American political history, the US government has formed alliances with militias, tribes, and rebels. Sometimes, these alliances have been successful, dramatically reshaping the battlefield. But these alliances have also risked creating larger wars in regions where the United States had no real interest. Understanding these alliances - and much of American political history - requires moving beyond our normal focus on traditional diplomats or social elites. Traders, missionaries, former slaves, and low-level government employees drove these alliances. These intermediaries used their relationships across borders to shape security politics, affecting American and thereby world history. Skillfully integrating political science with history and sociology, Eric Grynaviski provides a novel account of who matters and why in international politics. By developing broader views about political agency - how people come to make a difference in world politics - he brings into focus new histories of world politics and how they matter for scholars and the public.
