Thessaloniki Greece and Boca Raton FL USA July 3, 2018 - On July 4, 2018 there will be a book signing at Nanotexnology for the exciting new book available on Amazon.com and CRCPress.com, Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law by Dr ilise L Feitshans JD and ScM and DIR, who has taught and lectured about law and ethics at the Nanotexnology conference every year for the past seven years.
Nanotexnology explores the opportunities in the emerging fields of Nanotechnologies, Organic & Printed Electronics and Nanomedicine. Nanotexnology brings together over 2,000 researchers, scientists, engineers, business, technical and policy professionals to promote research and industrial collaborations, identify priorities and strengthen the innovation ecosystem. Nanotechnology: new economic frontiers with wide horizons, promising new cures for ancient diseases, strong packaging to protect goods from contamination, cheaper consumer products and new medicines to fight cancer.
Small things add up: products applying nanotechnology have been marketed to consumers for over a decade, and therefore nanotechnology applications represent a huge slice of daily economic life, whether people know it or not. The impact of nanotechnology on the health, wealth, and lives of people can transform the use and distribution of almost everything – from vaccines to computers to automobile tires to objects not yet imagined in a revolutionary age for science healthcare, agriculture, information technology, and national security. How can the benefits of nanotechnology be realized while reducing risk to public health?
“Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law: A Tool for Stakeholder Engagement by Dr. Ilise L. Feitshans fills a void in addressing the legal, social, and policy implications of nanotechnology from a global governance perspective”, according to Dr John Howard, Director, U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). “Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law makes the nanotechnology applications of daily life accessible to readers who are curious about this new scientific and legal field...Dr. Feitshans wants her readers to feel comfortable moving across the fields of science, ethics, and law to obtain a fuller understanding of how nanotechnology can reshape both commerce and public health, producing social benefits globally”.
Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law is an eye-opening exciting book that examines the public health policy questions raised by nanotechnology and new medicines. Will there be legal liability for the ethical and social transformations that will follow in the wake of nanomedicine and nano-enabled treatments for disease? Author and international legal scholar Dr ilise Feitshans views the nanotechnology revolution in science as a once in a lifetime opportunity to revolutionize public health. As she sees it, antiquated patterns that caused harm can be replaced by new systems creating positive social change. Dr ilise Feitshans is fearless in asking about the new meaning for “health” “disability” “safety” and “work”. Drawing for her readers the big picture, Dr ilise Feitshans has created a fabulous new interdisciplinary approach that has an admixture of creativity, clear thinking and deep philosophical understanding of the human values that will be impacted as nanotechnology reshapes society.
Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law is an easy read and a good read that opens the doors of intellectual curiosity to reveal a wide ranging intellectual adventure! While lesser scholars have refrained from straying beyond the borders of one discipline, Dr ilise Feitshans has expertise derived from graduate degrees in law, international relations and public health and experience working in legislative drafting at the local federal and international level. Her pathbreaking effort to chart a new course for the law of science in uncharted waters surrounding the legal landscape of traditional health law is an adventure that she embraces with welcoming passion!
Readers will find tools to operationalize their own legislative dreams in this book and therefore, Dr ilise Feitshans has taken the analysis of global health, nanomedicine, science policy to a place no one has travelled before. Many authors will follow with long analysis of narrow questions, but all will rely on the new information, new methods, precautionary principles and human values and legal principles that Dr ilise Feitshans describes in Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law. |
