Описание:

A growing problem of interest in the field of science and technology policy is that the next generation of innovations is arriving at an accelerating rate, and the governance system is struggling to catch up. Current approaches and institutions for effective technology assessment are ill suited and poorly designed to proactively address the multidimensional, interconnected societal impacts of science and technology advancements that are already taking place and expected to continue over the course of the 21st century.

This book offers tangible insights into the strategies deployed by well-known, high-profile organizations involved in anticipating the various societal and policy implications of nanotechnology and synthetic biology. It focuses predominantly on an examination of the practices adopted by the often-cited and uniquely positioned Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies in the United States, as well as being informed by comparisons with a range of institutions also interested in embedding forward-looking perspectives in their respective area of innovation. The book lays out one of the first actionable roadmaps that other interested stakeholders can follow when working toward institutionalizing anticipatory governance practices throughout the policymaking process.

Описание: Right Hand Man is the gripping story of Yechiel Kadishai, Menachem Begins right-hand man and confidant. Kadishai was by Begins side for decades, from the long years in the desert of opposition to Begins ascendance to the premiership; from meetings with world leaders and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize to the Lebanon War; from Begins resignation and seclusion until his death. Menachem Michelson, born in Israel, was privileged to be among the paratroopers who took part in liberating Jerusalem. A graduate of Bar-Ilan University, Michelson has authored numerous books, as well as acting as senior editor and writer for Yedioth Ahronoth for over forty years. Michelson formerly served as the aliya representative in England.
