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.
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.

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.
