<p>So what, exactly, IS your immune system? Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In this book, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defences. </p><p>Each chapter delves deeply into an element of the immune system, including defences like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like viruses, bacteria, allergies and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body's defences, how viruses - including the coronavirus - work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.</p>

Technically advanced machines are not automatically useful teaching tools. Ericka Johnson has studied computer simulators and their integration into medical education. She has analysed videotape of simulator sessions, interviewed instructors and students, and observed students practising medicine, both on the simulators and in hospital wards. Starting from the understanding that learning is situated in practice, she examines simulations and the parallels they have with the existing learning practices that the students encounter in their medical apprenticeship. Johnson shows how instructors reconstitute patient bodies and medical practices in simulations. She looks at how the simulations are situated in the context of the teaching hospital and the identity construction present in both the clinical clerkship and the simulations. Her work suggests ways in which simulations can and should extend beyond the teaching of specific skills, to be made relevant to the medical training.

While the US continues to lead the world in research and innovation, China and India are reshaping the global economy. Titans and Tigers gives a thoroughly researched account and assessment of the ongoing dynamics in these three large countries, with a special emphasis on biomedicine. Smaller countries are compelled to respond to the overall course of events. Their success is contingent upon identifying and addressing a myriad of challenges and turning them into opportunities for growth. This demands deliberate and strategic action by their respective governments. The book elucidates the current policies and processes in three small countries where governments and Prime Ministers have acted with particular energy and foresight: Ireland, Denmark and Finland. There are important lessons to be learned for a country like Sweden. Titans and Tigers is published within the framework of the SNS project on competitiveness and the future of the Swedish biomedical sector. The project has been supported by an eminently qualified reference group, led by Mr Michael Sohlman, the Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation. A special grant has been provided by Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems. Hans Bergström is an Associate Professor of Political Science and former Editor-in-Chief of Dagens Nyheter.
