A public health crisis is gripping the UK. COVID-19 revealed the
weaknesses of the UK's public health system, once thought to be
among the best in the world. Against this background, this book
examines the organisational and political barriers to an effective
public health system showcased through the UK. It urges that what
is needed is a new social contract, in which health policy is truly
public.
The scope of this book is to present in a systematic and unified
manner the ray method (in its various forms) for studying nonlinear
wave propagation in situations of physical interest (essentially
fluid dynamics and plasma physics). The book could be used for an
advanced graduate course on nonlinear waves. It should also be of
interest to applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers,
working in areas related to nonlinear waves.

Co-integration, equilibrium and equilibrium correction are key
concepts in modern applications of econometrics to real world
problems. This book provides direction and guidance to the now vast
literature facing students and graduate economists. Econometric
theory is linked to practical issues such as how to identify
equilibrium relationships, how to deal with structural breaks
associated with regime changes and what to do when variables are of
different orders of integration.

various forms, for studying nonlinear wave propagation in
situations of physical interest, essentially fluid dynamics and
plasma physics.
From the ashes of World War II to the impending obstacles of the
new millennium, this multidisciplinary study examines Poland's
recent economic and political development. It examines the creation
and collapse of the system of central planning, the pre-Solidarity
period, the rise of KOR and the Solidarity Movement, and the
"Polish August" of 1980-- leading to the imposition of Martial Law
in December 1981. This comprehensive and integrated view of nearly
a half-century of change is presented in a clear, non-technical
manner, encompassing economic, financial, legal, and political
issues.
Health care systems across the world are in a state of permanent
revolution as they struggle to cope with multiple pressures arising
from changing demography, new technologies, and limited resources.
Focusing on the British NHS, this book offers a fresh look at how
it has coped with such pressures over its 60 year history and
considers what the future holds. The book explores the complexity
of health policy and health services, offering a critical
perspective on their development. A number of tensions are evident
in contemporary health policy and the book is organised around a
selection of these, including: the funding of health systems and
the changing mix of public and private arrangements; the capture of
medicine by management; the imbalance between health and health
care; and the growing emphasis on markets and competition in health
care systems.The health debate offers a lively and accessible
reassessment of successive reforms of the NHS and their cyclical
nature. A unique feature of the book is its breadth and assembly in
one place of a range of interrelated, and largely unresolved,
policy puzzles. The book will appeal to all students of health care
and health policy, and to policy-makers and health care
professionals. "Policy and Politics in the Twenty-First Century" -
This exciting series offers a guide through some of today's most
hotly contested policy issues by distinguished leaders in the
field. Each book untangles current policy debates, looking behind
the rhetoric and spin to discover what is at the core of
contemporary political agendas. Authors present their own
perspectives and make recommendations for what could - or should -
be our priorities for future policy reform.
A practical guide to developing a deeper understanding of lesbian,
gay, and bisexual persons, Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and
Adults empowers human service professionals to work more
comfortably and effectively with these communities. The authors,
Ski Hunter, Coleen Shannon, Jo Knox, and James I. Martin, lead
readers through the social and historical context of lesbians, gay
men, and bisexual men and women. The authors skillfully explore the
oppressive responses of the heterosexual world as well as the
psychological and social development of lesbians, gay, and bisexual
persons across the lifespan. Complex issues such as the challenges
encountered in friendships, coupling, and parenting are considered.
Sensitive and purposeful, Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and
Adults provides research-based insights and practical applications.
Written in a scholarly but accessible style, the authors also
include an intervention model to facilitate working with lesbian,
bisexual, and gay clients. The book begins with an overview of
controversies regarding causation and concludes with a thoughtful
overview of the changes from oppressive to affirmative practice.
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and Adults is ideal as a main
text in courses on stigmatized populations and as a supplement for
courses in the applied human services fields. It is a "must read"
for practitioners, supervisors, administrators, professors, and
trainers working with members of these communities as clients,
staff, or students. It is also an excellent venue for the
interested lay reader.

acquired or congenital neuropsychological disorders. The text is
divided into three sections. Section one provides a foundation by
considering general issues relevant to assessment and treatment in
pediatric neuropsychology. Section two guides practitioners in
their approach to the use of interventions in a range of conditions
and disorders, and the book closes with a section focusing on
medical and experimental initiatives with an emphasis on
interdisciplinary issues. This book is essential reading for
pediatric neuropsychologists, child clinical psychologists and
school psychologists, as well as pediatric neurologists and
psychiatrists.

information on the future of education training and professional
development in general practice and primary care. It is an
anthology of work produced by many of the leading figures in
general practice across the United Kingdom. General practice now
faces challenges that could be seen as threatening the way it
traditionally operates but can also be seen as presenting
opportunities. This book provides inspiration and guidance to its
readers and fuel for the challenges ahead. It shares knowledge and
best practice on education teaching and professional development
drawing on examples from local regional and national projects. It
is essential reading for general practitioners involved in
education and training for everyone who needs to know how
revalidation and professional development will influence them and

involved in shaping the primary care organisations of the future.
Following the Governments health reforms in 1991 rationing has
been put firmly on the agenda. This book identifies and clarifies
the numerous political and ethical issues surrounding rationing in
healthcare. Drawing upon international examples it offers a
critical overview of the approaches to rationing and makes
practical proposals for its management.
"Desperately Seeking Solutions "challenges the assumption that all
health services are inherently subject to rationing as demand
invariably outstrips supply and examines this within a comparative
framework. The author critically evaluates the extent to which
rationing has always existed and should exist within the NHS,
although until recently it operated on an implicit rather than
explicit basis and was bound up with clinical judgements rather
than purely financial considerations. The author questions whether
calls for explicit rationing are actually desirable and potentially
feasible.
