How do drugs get to the market? What controls are there and what procedures for monitoring their effects? And how adequate are the regulators in protecting public health when new drugs have serious side effects? The Therapeutic Nightmare tells the story of the sleeping pill Halcion - a story which is far from over. First marketed in the 1970s, Halcion has been taken by millions of patients around the world. For many years it has been associated with serious adverse effects such as...

Drug disasters from Thalidomide to Opren, and other less dramatic cases of drug injury, raise questions about whether the testing and control of medicines provides satisfactory protection for the public. In this revealing study, John Abrahan develops a theoretically challenging realist approach, in order to probe deeply into the work of scientists in the pharmaceutical industry and governmental drug regulatory authorities on both sides of the Atlantic. Through the examination of contempora...

Before walls, before checkpoints, before fear learned the language of law, Gaza was a place where life moved slowly—under olive trees, beside bread ovens, beneath a single sky shared by many faiths.The Olive Trees Remember is a sweeping literary novel that traces the long arc from Ottoman-era coexistence to modern Gaza's fracture, told through memory, loss, and moral awakening. At its heart stands Mariam—a young woman shaped by inherited stories of dignity and shaken by th...

First published in 1995. This book is concerned with how comprehensive schooling can act as a social system of class and gender differentiation. Based on a critical synthesis of feminist and sociological literature on secondary education, Abraham develops a theoretical and methodological framework for ethnographic research into the central gender and class dynamic of a comprehensive school.

This Book explains and investigates how medicines are controlled in Europe, especially the EU. Based on penetrating documentary and interview research with the pharmaceutical industry, regulators and consumer organisations,it provides the first major critical examination of the new Europeanised systems of medicine regulation. The authors argue that the drive to produce and approve more drugs more quickly for a single European market dominates other considerations, such as improvements in d...
