The Shipman Inquiry

Death certification and the investigation of deaths by coroners. Third report

By: Great Britain. Shipman Inquiry

This is the third report of the Shipman Inquiry, set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the murders of over 200 patients by their GP, Dr. Harold Shipman. It examines the present arrangements for death registration, cremation certification and coroners' investigations in England and Wales; and sets out recommendations for changes to protect patients from the concealment of homicide in the future, as well as to establish a sound system for promoting medical knowledge and aiding NHS resource planning. 48 recommendations are made including: the need for radical reform of the coronial system, with a new Coroner Service to be established as a executive non-departmental public body (ENDPB), governed by a Board responsible for policy formulation and strategic direction. The aim of the Service should be to provide an independent system of death investigation and certification accessible to the public, with procedures designed to provide a through and open investigation of suspicious deaths and to detect cases of homicide, medical error and neglect. Posts of medical and judicial coroners should be established as independent office-holders under the Crown, and trained investigators given an enhanced role in place of the coroner's officer. The Service should be organised through a regional and district structure, based on the ten administrative regions in England and Wales. The death certification scheme should require the completion of two forms, with a statutory duty imposed upon the consultant doctor in cases of a death occurring in hospital or on the GP in case of a death occurring other than in hospital. There should also be a statutory duty on any 'qualified' or 'responsible' person to report any concerns relating to a death believed to amount to evidence of crime, malpractice or neglect.

The New Power Elite

Inequality, Politics and Greed

By: Alan Shipman,June Edmunds,Bryan Turner

Elites have always ruled – wielding inordinate power and wealth, taking decisions that shape life for the rest. In good times the ‘1%’ can hide their privilege, or use growing social mobility and economic prosperity as a justification. When times get tougher there’s a backlash. So the first years of the twenty-first century – a time of financial crashes, oligarchy and corruption in the West; persistent poverty in the south; and rising inequality everywhere – have brought elites and ‘establishments’ under unprecedented fire. Yet those swept to power by this discontent are themselves a part of the elite, attacking from within and extending rather than ending its agenda. The New Power Elite shows how major political and social change is typically driven by renegade elite fractions, who co-opt or sideline elites’ traditional enemies. It is the first book to combine the politics, economics, sociology and history of elite rule to present a compact, comprehensive account of who’s at the top, and why we let them get there.

Assessment in Primary and Middle Schools

Assessment in Primary and Middle Schools

By: Marten Shipman

Effective evaluation of a pupil’s performance and of resources available is a vital part of successful teaching. Originally published in 1983, this non-statistical guide aims to help teachers organise their work so as to improve their assessment of their pupils and also to analyse their own management efforts. A model is developed showing how teachers can progressively structure their work to increase the objectivity of their assessment. The use of published tests and the production of tests by teachers is covered, but the focus throughout is on the part played by assessment in the organisation of learning. The steps recommended are arranged so that the first yield the largest return. But none requires any statistical expertise or a large investment of time. The second part of the book shows how schools can be evaluated by their staff – school organisation, staff development and the curriculum are given special attention in this step-by-step guide to effective and rewarding school assessment.

Diabetes Mellitus

And Human Trafficking

By: Kenneth W. Shipman

People with diabetes mellitus experience health-literacy and self-management problems from the first days of diagnosis. As the tedium of detail and the continuous responsibility for well-being are realized, the self-efficacy of the individual is challenged (Polonsky, 1999). In addition, an exhaustion of physical, mental, and emotional strength may eventually impair motivation to self-manage this chronic illness. Stress often results from the continuing challenges required for successful management of the disease (Sperry, 2008). Management decisions are stressful as the diabetic strives to balance medication, diet, and exercise in order to reduce co-morbidities, complications, and end-stage progression. Because of the stresses involved, many diabetics suffer psychologically for years before experiencing the physical complications of the disease. More people die yearly from diabetes than from breast cancer and AIDS together (ADA, 2010). Diabetes management products, and their illusion of hope for living with diabetes, are not matched with the challenge of integrating health-literacy and self-management skills (Polonsky, 1999).

The Evolution of Racism

Human Differences and the Use and Abuse of Science

By: Pat Shipman

In an intellectually engaging narrative that mixes science and history, theories and personalities, Pat Shipman asks the question: Can we have legitimate scientific investigations of differences among humans without sounding racist? Through the original controversy over evolutionary theory in Darwin's time; the corruption of evolutionary theory into eugenics; the conflict between laboratory research in genetics and fieldwork in physical anthropology and biology; and the continuing controversies over the heritability of intelligence, criminal behavior, and other traits, the book explains both prewar eugenics and postwar taboos on letting the insights of genetics and evolution into the study of humanity.

Film Festivals and the Enrichment Economy

Cultural Value Chains in a Digital Media Age

By: Ann Vogel,Alan Shipman

Responding to a question of immense interdisciplinary interest, this book investigates the construction of value in the curation of film festivals and production of cultural events undertaken by nonprofit arts organizations around the world. Combining their expertise in economics and sociology, the authors outline a theoretically and methodologically cohesive approach that puts the valuation of cinema right into the middle of global value chain research. It challenges the ways in which the interdisciplinary pursuit of cultural economics has approached cultural value, presenting a thorough analytic inquiry into who produces the value and who seeks rent in the value chain. While offering a fresh approach to cinema and media economics, the book highlights the significant way of nonprofit actor incorporation into value chains and value networks.

Wynne Godley

A Biography

By: Alan Shipman

This timely biography of the economist Wynne Godley (1926-2010) charts his long and often crisis-blown route to a new way of understanding whole economies. It shows how early frustrations as a policy-maker enabled him to glimpse the cliff-edges other macro-modellers missed, and re-arm ‘Keynesian’ theory against the orthodoxy that had tried to absorb it. Godley gained notoriety for his economic commentaries - foreseeing the malaise of the 1970s, the Reagan-Thatcher slump, the unsustainable 1980s and 1990s booms, and the crises in the Eurozone and world economies after 2008. This foresight arose from a series of advances in his understanding of national accounting, price-setting, the role of modern finance, and the use of economic data, especially to grasp the interlinkage of stocks and flows. This biography also gives due attention to Godley's life outside academic economics – including his chaotic childhood, truncated career as a professional oboist, equally brief stints as a sculptor’s model and economist in industry, and a longer spell as as a Treasury adviser with a mystery gift for forecasting. This first full-length biography traces Wynne Godley’s long career from professional musician to public servant, policymaker, tormentor of conventional macroeconomics and creator of a workable alternative – all after escaping a childhood of decaying mansions and draconian schools, and rescuing his private world from the legacy of two Freuds. Drawing on Godley’s published and unpublished work and extensive interviews with those who knew him, the author explores Godley's improbable life and explains the lasting significance of his work.

The Man who Found the Missing Link

Eugène Dubois and His Lifelong Quest to Prove Darwin Right

By: Pat Shipman

Born eighteen months after the first Neanderthal skeleton was found and a year before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, Eugene Dubois vowed to discover a powerful truth in Darwin's deceptively simple ideas. There is a link, he declared, a link as yet unknown, between apes and Man. It takes a brilliant writer to elucidate a brilliant mind, and Pat Shipman shines as never before. The Man Who Found the Missing Link is an irresistible tale of adventure, scientific daring, and a strange and enduring love--and it is true.

Knowledge Monopolies

The Academisation of Society

By: Alan Shipman,Marten Shipman

Historians and sociologists chart the consequences of the expansion of knowledge; philosophers of science examine the causes. This book bridges the gap. The focus is on 'academisation' - the paradox whereby, as the general public becomes better educated to live and work with knowledge, the 'academy' increases its intellectual distance from the public, so that the nature of social and natural reality becomes more rather than less obscure.

The Wisdom of the Bones

In Search of Human Origins

By: Alan Walker,Pat Shipman

Fascinating. . . . As engaging an explanation of how scientists study fossil bones as any I have ever read." --John R. Alden, Philadelphia Inquirer In 1984 a team of paleoanthropologists on a dig in northern Kenya found something extraordinary: a nearly complete skeleton of Homo erectus, a creature that lived 1.5 million years ago and is widely thought to be the missing link between apes and humans. The remains belonged to a tall, rangy adolescent male. The researchers called him "Nariokotome boy." In this immensely lively book, Alan Walker, one of the lead researchers, and his wife and fellow scientist Pat Shipman tell the story of that epochal find and reveal what it tells us about our earliest ancestors. We learn that Nariokotome boy was a highly social predator who walked upright but lacked the capacity for speech. In leading us to these conclusions, The Wisdom of the Bones also offers an engaging chronicle of the hundred-year-long search for a "missing link," a saga of folly, heroic dedication, and inspired science. "Brilliantly captures [an] intellectual odyssey. . . . One of the finest examples of a practicing scientist writing for a popular audience." --Portland Oregonian "A vivid insider's perspective on the global efforts to document our own ancestry." --Richard E. Leakey
