      • The Cube

        by Bijan Moini

        The near future. Germany is run by a perfect algorithm: the ›cube‹ enables people to lead carefree lives, pays a basic income to all, and stops crime before it happens. To do so, it collects even the most intimate data. Predictability has become society’s greatest asset. One of the few rebels against the system is 28-year-old Taso. He goes to a great deal of effort to evade the total data capture, deceiving the cube about his preferences and thoughts by making all his decisions by throwing dice or tossing a coin. He is a ›trickster‹ – lonely but not unhappy. But then a young woman comes to visit him. Dalia has run away from an anti-progressive sect and wants nothing more than a life in the perfect world of the cube. Taso falls in love with her just as the resistance is about to recruit him. He suddenly faces an impossible choice: Should he betray his ideals – or an ideal world?

        Rebuilding the Unity of Health and the Environment in Rural America

        Workshop Summary

        by James Merchant, Christine Coussens, and Dalia Gilbert, Editors, Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine

        Throughout much of its history, the United States was predominantly a rural society. The need to provide sustenance resulted in many people settling in areas where food could be raised for their families. Over the past century, however, a quiet shift from a rural to an urban society occurred, such that by 1920, for the first time, more members of our society lived in urban regions than in rural ones. This was made possible by changing agricultural practices. No longer must individuals raise their own food, and the number of person-hours and acreage required to produce food has steadily been decreasing because of technological advances, according to Roundtable member James Merchant of the University of Iowa. The Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Environmental Health Science, Research, and Medicine held a regional workshop at the University of Iowa on November 29 and 30, 2004, to look at rural environmental health issues. Iowa, with its expanse of rural land area, growing agribusiness, aging population, and increasing immigrant population, provided an opportunity to explore environmental health in a region of the country that is not as densely populated. As many workshop participants agreed, the shifting agricultural practices as the country progresses from family operations to large-scale corporate farms will have impacts on environmental health. This report describes and summarizes the participants' presentations to the Roundtable members and the discussions that the members had with the presenters and participants at the workshop.

        The Role of Environmental Hazards in Premature Birth

        Workshop Summary

        by Donald R. Mattison, Samuel Wilson, Christine Coussens, and Dalia Gilbert, Editors, Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine

        Each year in the United States approximately 440,000 babies are born premature. These infants are at greater risk of death, and are more likely to suffer lifelong medical complications than full-term infants. Clinicians and researchers have made vast improvements in treating preterm birth; however, little success has been attained in understanding and preventing preterm birth. Understanding the complexity of interactions underlying preterm birth will be needed if further gains in outcomes are expected. The Institute of Medicine’s Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine sponsored a workshop to understand the biological mechanism of normal labor and delivery, and how environmental influences, as broadly defined, can interact with the processes of normal pregnancy to result in preterm birth. This report is a summary of the main themes presented by the speakers and participants.

      • Ways of doing nothing

        by María Vela Zanetti

        This indescribable book, Ways of Doing Nothing - the first in prose after eleven in poetry and intense work as a specialised journalist - is nothing more than the reflection of her pleasant readings, her animated conversations with friends and daily observation of the dog spirit: happy and indolent but tenacious in her loves. The countryside, where the author lives and has lived for long periods, is another of her favourite prisons, because as she says: "the countryside does not know who you are". Misanthropy? Black humour? Perhaps, because her strange fantasy places her among the few writers who have given this serious country a smoke.
