This reissue, first published in 1982, is concerned with the rapid
contemporary metropolitan development in the Third World, at a time
when manufacturing and public service sectors were expending at a
terrific rate. Nevertheless, the phenomenal growth of the
metropolitan cities brings with it an increase in social
equalities, such that two thirds of the population of these cities
may be described as the urban poor'. This book concerns itself with
the question: Can we describe these urban poor as a proletariat',
or are such Western class terms totally inappropriate to the
development of the Third World? Peter Lloyd examines the nature of
Western class terminology derived largely from Marx and Weber, and
assesses its utility in the analysis of Third World Urban society.
An assessment is also made of the political strength of the urban
poor, whether they are mobilising themselves or being mobilised
from above. This reissue will be relevant to courses on Development
studies and the Third World; it will also find a wider readership
amongst social stratification and urban sociology.
First published in 1974, this study, by a social anthropologist
who has lived, taught and researched in Nigeria, explores how the
Yoruba of Nigeria living in Ibadan and Lagos perceive the society
in which they live. Their views on stratification and social
inequality in particular are related to traditional Yoruba concepts
and to their experiences in education, migration and present social
and occupational relationships. It is shown that, in general, these
recent migrants and city dwellers see their society as open; they
emphasise achievement rather than class opposition. Recent protest
a " industrial strikes in Lagos, the Agbekoya peasant rebellion in
Ibadan a " are assessed in the light of these attitudes.

In the summer of 1910 a symposium on the subject of Instinct and
Intelligence was held in London at a joint meeting of the
Aristotelian and British Psychological Societies and of the Mind
association. Considerable interest in the discussion was shown both
in the room in which we met and beyond its walls. The papers then
taken as read, and subsequently published in the "British Journal
of Psychology," disclose not a little divergence in the sense in
which the terms instinctive and intelligent are used, an underlying
divergence in the principles on which the proffered interpretations
are based, and indications, more or less clear, of yet
deeper-seated differences of philosophical foundation.

"Clinical Management in Mental Health Services" is a practical
guide to the day to day operational management of mental health
teams. It explores both the theoretical aspects of management plus
strategies for dealing with the wide range of management issues
faced by managers working in mental health. It looks at issues such
as leading a multidisciplinary team, Communication and Public
Relations, the importance of clinical supervision, evidence-based
practice, and quality assurance. It addresses the issue of workload
management, clinical information management, how to plan a budget
and how to manage stress.
This timely and incisive study reads contemporary literature and
visual culture from the American South through the lens of cultural
memory. Rooting texts in their regional locations, the book
interrupts and questions the dominant trends in Southern Studies,
providing a fresh and nuanced view of twenty-first-century texts.
This book is about how people behaved during the German occupation
of France during the Second World War, and more specifically about
how individuals from differeent social and political backgrounds
recorded and reflected on their experiences during and after these
tragic events. The book focuses in particular on the concepts of
treason and sacrifice, as they affected the behaviour of
individuals and groups and their relationship to the nation state.
An introductory overview, discussing problems of representation,
moral issues and the nature of collaboration and resistance, is
followed by contextualised case-studies in the areas of politics,
daily life, civil administration, paramilitary action, literature
and film. The figures examined are chosen not only because of their
representative or even iconic nature but also because most of them
left a record expressing their own vision of the occupation. This
is very much an interdisciplinary study, linking political,
historical, moral and cultural ideas.
"Vocational Rehabilitation and Mental Health" is a practical guide
for all members of the healthcare team to implementing effective
services leading to sustained career development among people with
mental illness. It examines the barriers to employment such as
stigma, discrimination and fluctuating health and discusses the
evidence underpinning the provision of effective employment
services. The book goes on to examine some of the challenges with
implementing evidence-based practice and discusses ways to overcome
these challenges.
The field of programme evaluation is shaped by an ever-increasing
range of approaches each of which, to varying degrees, reflects
evaluation's dual role as a theoretical endeavour and a form of
socio-political inquiry. There is an array of approaches, each
emphasizing different purposes and endorsing different
methodologies to guide practice. Yet, no matter which goals are
pursued and which methods are employed, all evaluation involves an
effort to conceptualize, comprehend, and convey the quality of the
programme. This volume brings together the work of certain
evaluators to explore the evaluation of programme quality. Through
conceptual descriptions and applied examples they discuss the
theoretical concerns and practical issues that give rise to their
particular conceptions of quality, the methodologies they employ to
pursue an understanding of these conceptions, and the
representational forms they employ to convey their understanding to
stakeholders.
