Forensic medicine is a broad and evolving field with areas of rapid
progress embracing both clinical and pathological aspects of
practice, in which there may be considerable overlap. This is the
second volume in a series that provides a unique, in-depth and
critical update on selected topics of direct relevance to those
practising in the field of clinical forensic medicine and related
areas including lawyers, police, medical practitioners, forensic
scientists, and students. The chapters endeavour to maintain a
relevance to an international, multi-professional audience and
include chapters on: * DNA decontamination, * The toxicity of novel
psychoactive substances, * The relevance of gastric contents in the
timing of death, * The effects of controlled energy devices, * The
main risk factors for driving impairment, * The risk factors for
harm to health of detainees in short-term custody, * Autoerotic
deaths, * Child maltreatment and neglect, and * The investigation
of potential non-accidental head injury in children. Also included
are chapters on excited delirium syndrome, automatism and
personality disorders. Two topics not generally covered in standard
clinical forensic medical textbooks include a forensic
anthropological approach to body recovery in potential crimes
against humanity and risk management and security issues for the
forensic practitioner investigating potential crimes against
humanity in a foreign country.
Although forensic medicine has been in existence for centuries in
one guise or another, it is only with the recent growth in
international research that it has begun to be acknowledged as a
specific discipline in its own right. Many areas of progress are
being made and this text aims to provide a unique, in-depth and
critical update on selected topics that are of direct relevance to
those practicing in the field including lawyers, police, medical
and dental practitioners, forensic scientists and
postgraduate/undergraduate medical students and undergraduate law
students preparing for forensic medicine examinations. This volume
is designed to cover the wider aspects of forensic medicine,
including the law, science, medicine (forensic pathology, clinical
forensic medicine and forensic psychiatry) and dentistry. Topics
covered include subjects of debate and/or uncertainty in areas
where significant advances have been made and in those of current
relevance to the forensic profession, Chapters provide a variety of
approaches to the areas under discussion with reviews of current
knowledge, information on significant changes and pointers to the
future that the reader should be aware of. Features: * An
authoritative review, for forensic medicine practitioners
throughout the world, from leading international experts in the
field. * Provides critical commentary and updates on current
practice. * Topics include: a guide to the presentation of forensic
medical evidence, bioterrorism, the paediatric hymen, assessment
and interpretation of bone trauma in children, adult sexual

Gall has compiled what is almost certainly the definitive study of
right-to-work campaigns at the national and state levels since the
early 1940's. . . . The author's emphasis on carefully documenting
these campaigns means that this book will primarily interest
specialists in political science and labor history. Further, this
book will be a handy reference source for other readers who want to
separate rhetoric from reality on this contentious issue. Choice
The Politics of Right to Work presents both a comprehensive history
of organized labor's response to the challenges posed by the right
to work movement and an in-depth examination of the partisan
political dimensions of that challenge. The first full-length
treatment of the subject to cover the period from the early 1940s
through the late 1970s, the study uses qualitative and quantative
analytical techniques to examine the political implications of
states' attempts to restrict union security since the first
right-to-work laws were passed in Novermber 1944.
A 2018 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title New scholarship provides
insights into the archaeology and cultural history of African
American life from a collection of sites in the Mid-Atlantic This
groundbreaking volume explores the archaeology of African American
life and cultures in the Upper Mid-Atlantic region, using sites
dating from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. Sites
in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York are all
examined, highlighting the potential for historical archaeology to
illuminate the often overlooked contributions and experiences of
the region's free and enslaved African American settlers.
Archaeologies of African American Life in the Upper Mid-Atlantic
brings together cutting-edge scholarship from both emerging and
established scholars. Analyzing the research through sophisticated
theoretical lenses and employing up-to-date methodologies, the
essays reveal the diverse ways in which African Americans reacted
to and resisted the challenges posed by life in a borderland
between the North and South through the transition from slavery to
freedom. In addition to extensive archival research, contributors
synthesize the material finds of archaeological work in slave
quarter sites, tenant farms, communities, and graveyards. Editors
Michael J. Gall and Richard F. Veit have gathered new and nuanced
perspectives on the important role free and enslaved African
Americans played in the region's cultural history. This collection
provides scholars of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions,
African American studies, material culture studies, religious
studies, slavery, the African diaspora, and historical
archaeologists with a well-balanced array of rural archaeological
sites that represent cultural traditions and developments among
African Americans in the region. Collectively, these sites
illustrate African Americans' formation of fluid cultural and
racial identities, communities, religious traditions, and modes of
navigating complex cultural landscapes in the region under harsh
and disenfranchising circumstances.
Highly acclaimed and widely read, "American Workers, American
Unions" (first published in 1986, revised ed. 1994) provides a
concise and compelling history of American workers and their unions
in twentieth-century America. This new edition features new
chapters on the pre-1920 period, as well as an entirely new final
chapter that covers developments of the 1980s and 1990s in detail.
There the authors explore how economic change, union stagnation,
and antilabor policies have combined to erode workers' standards
and labor's influence in the political arena over the last two
decades. They review current "alternatives to unionism" as means of
achieving fair workplace representations but insist that strong
unions remain essential in a democratic society. They argue that
labor's new responsiveness to the concerns of women, minority
groups, and low-wage workers, as well as its resurgent political
activism, offer new hope for trade unionism. Also included in this
third edition is new bibliographical material and a regularly
updated on-line link to an extended bibliographical essay.
