Intertwined
A compelling call to action to focus on what connects us in nature to solve today's problems.In nature, everything is connected: from microscopic bacteria and soaring trees to animals struggling for survival amid thriving humanity. Yet many of today's toughest problems, from environmental destruction to divisive politics, stem from fundamental disconnections. In Intertwined, science writer Michael Gross explains how the natural world can be a pow…
Purging the Empire
The 1871 Constitution of the new German Empire guaranteed that all its citizens enjoyed the law of Freedom of Movement, Freizuegigkeitsgesetz, and, with it, the right of residence. The state, however, in legal terms retained the power to expel non-citizens. With that power, the Empire purged some 32,000 Russian and Austrian Poles, more than 10,000 Danes from northern Schleswig and another approximately 1,000 French citizens from Alsace-Lorraine. …
Using action methods to counter social isolation and shame among gay men
Despite legal and cultural amelioration of homophobia, shame and internalized homophobia persist with concomitant adverse health and mental health consequences. J. L. Moreno's system of psychodrama, sociometry, and group psychotherapy offers approaches that help counter shame and internalized homophobia and increase peer support among diverse groups of gay men. Sociometric tools help create safety, establish group cohesion, build interpersonal co…
Remaking the Rhythms of Life
Gadjo neighbours.There are glimpses of the latter in this book, but those questions are essentially beyond its scope.What it offers is a model for avoiding the answer 'It was ever thus'.
Self, Medicated
Alcoholics Anonymous
The article discusses the 75-year history of the self-help group Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) cofounded by physician Bob Smith and stockbroker Bill Wilson in 1935. The article discusses the underlying tenets of AA that extend from a Christian religious sect called the Oxford Group. Addiction research studies of AA that have been conducted in the past are noted. Commentary is provided on AA's 12-step program and its effectiveness. The 12 steps and 12…

Bad Advice
Like the paired snakes of the caduceus, pathology and homosexuality became intertwined when medicine propped up a post-Enlightenment decline in religious authority by transforming moral disapproval into diagnoses of disease. Sex between men entered public health discourse as “gay bowel syndrome,” decades before methodologically sound social surveys demonstrated that heterosexual couples account for a much larger proportion of episodes of anal int…

Cultural diversity recomposition and effectiveness in monoculture work groups
In this article, we discuss different types of cultural diversity recomposition that can occur in monoculture work groups. Several direct effect propositions are set forth about the impact of cultural diversity recomposition type on monoculture group effectiveness, as are several moderating effect propositions. We identify potential moderators that have not been explored in prior research and discuss the implications that each has for organizatio…

HIV and Women
Fee Et Al. Respond
Mathy’s letter continues a process that began with unusually vigorous discussion among several of the editors regarding the specific Images of Health contribution to which Mathy refers. It reinforces our rationale for venturing to address a topic that often elicits controversy yet deserves increased attention. Referring to the biographical particulars of a single individual, while not the usual way of framing discussions of policy or evaluation o…
HIV Topical Microbicides
Six HIV candidate microbicides are scheduled to enter 6 large-scale effectiveness trials in the next year. The selection of products for testing and the design of this group of trials should be reconsidered to provide an answer to a key question now before the field: Does a sulfonated polyanion, delivered intravaginally as a gel, block HIV attachment to target cells with sufficient potency to protect women from sexually acquired HIV infection? Pa…
Evolution and Patriarchal Myths of Scarcity and Competition
The Second Wave Will Drown Us
TWO YEARS AGO, IN THESE pages, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) forecast a resurgent HIV epidemic among US men who have sex with men (MSM). Nationwide surveillance data had not yet shown a higher rate of new infections, but congruent indicators from sexually transmitted disease registries and studies of self-reported risk behavior all suggested that the consistent practice of safer sex was eroding.1 Earlier this year, the C…
Preemptive Use of Antiretroviral Drugs to Prevent Sexual Transmission of Hiv to High-Risk Uninfected MSM
In the June 2003 issue of the Journal, I posed the rhetorical question of why clinical trials of “pre-exposure prophylaxis” against sexual transmission were being planned for populations in developing countries, but not for men who have sex with men (MSM) who are at high risk of contracting HIV in the United States.1 As that issue of the Journal was in press, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published plans to support a random…
When Plagues Don’t End
The Strange Case of the Nun in the Dungeon, or German Liberalism as a Convent Atrocity Story
Kulturkampf and Unification
In February 1872, little more than a year after the founding of the new Reich, the National Zeitung , a leading National-Liberal newspaper, argued that Germans could no longer accept suppression at the Catholic Church. The German, the paper explained, will not tolerate a spirit that comes from Rome either among his people or in any of his churches. He does not want clerical rule and Volksverdummung . He wants, rather, enlightemnent, honest consci…
