Uniting Mississippi applies a new, philosophically informed theory of democratic leadership to Mississippi's challenges. Governor William F. Winter has written a foreword for the book, supporting its proposals. The book begins with an examination of Mississippi's apparent Catch-22, namely the difficulty of addressing problems of poverty without fixing issues in education first, and vice versa. These difficulties can be overcome if we look at their common roots, argues Eric Thomas Weber, and if we practice virtuous democratic leadership. Since the approach to addressing poverty has for so long been unsuccessful, Weber reframes the problem. The challenges of educational failure reveal the extent to which there is a caste system of schooling. Certain groups of people are trapped in schools that are underfunded and failing. The ideals of democracy reject hierarchies of citizenship, and thus, the author contends, these ideals are truly tested in Mississippi. Weber offers theories of effective leadership in general and of democratic leadership in particular to show how Mississippi's challenges could be addressed with the guidance of common values. The book draws on insights from classical and contemporary philosophical outlooks on leadership, which highlight four key social virtues: wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice. Within this framework, the author approaches Mississippi's problems of poverty and educational frustration in a novel way that is applicable in and beyond the rural South. Weber brings to bear each of the virtues of democratic leadership on particular problems, with some overarching lessons and values to advance. The author's editorial essays are included in the appendix as examples of engaging in public inquiry for the sake of democratic leadership.

Seit dem Erscheinen des "Handbuches der KOtlmetik" sind fast drei Jahrzehnte verflossen. Trotz dem seither eine Reihe ausgezeichneter einschlagiger Bucher veroffentlicht wurde, schien es bei der immer groBer werden den Bedeutung der Kosmetik in der Medizin und im sozialen Leben an der Zeit, das reichhaltige kosmetische Wissen auf breiterer Grundlage zu behandeln. Der Verlag hat es nun ver sucht, diesen Stoff lexikographisch anzuordnen, um so dem Leser ein Nachschlagewerk in die Hand zu geben, - das ihm eine rasche, sichere Oricntierung in allen einchlagigen Fragen ermoglicht. 1m Interesse der Einheitlichkeit muBten gewisse Abschnitte, sowohl auf medizinisch-pharmakologischem wie popular-kosmetischem Gebiete, zusammenhangend abgehandelt werden. So wurde auch Wert darauf gelegt, die kosmetische Pharmakologie in starkerem MaBe, als dies gewohnlich ublich ist, zu be tonen, um es dem Leser zu ermoglichen, sich uber die Wirkung der einzelnen Stoffe zu orientieren und auch neue Kombinationen zu finden . . Ahnlich wurde es mit gewissen technischen Details gehalten, deren Bedeutung bisher nicht richtig eingeschatzt worden war. Nicht nur derm1ttologische Fragen, sondern auch einschlagige Kapitel aus anderen Teildisziplinen wurden einbezogen, auch Methoden der Laienkosmetik fanden ausfiihrliche Behandlung, um auch auf diesem Gebiet hinreichende Information zu bieten. Die kosmetisch-chirurgische Operationstechnik fand, durch zahlreiche Abbildungen illustriert, ge buhrende Berucksichtigung, solI doch der Kosmetiker wenigstens die Indikation und den Gang einer Operation kennen, auch wenn er sie nicht selbst ausfiihrt. Es ist nicht leicht, die Grenze zwischen Dermatologie und reiner Kosmetik zu ziehen, noch schwerer, aus der ungeheuren Fulle von Praparaten die richtigen auszuwahlen."
