There is widespread concern amongst consumers about the safety and acceptability of food, and there are clearly communication gaps between consumers, many food professionals and food industry. This book offers accounts of the two-way nature of this difficult communication process and steps that can be made to bridge these communication gaps in a variety of social and cultural environments. Individual chapters of the book analyze the roles of science, culture, and risk perception, and of mass media and attitudes towards eating. An additional section describes the interface between scientists and lay people with regard to policy-making and agricultural practice.
Most employers know that rewarding their best workers is good
business. However, the returnA" on such investment is difficult to
measure, and wise employers think long and hard about two of their
largest expense items - employee benefits and executive
compensation. Today in the United States, under the glare of issues
raised by the current financial crisis, company-sponsored benefits
programs have become mere shadows of what they once were, and
executive compensation has come under intense scrutiny to the point
where the Treasury Department monitors it at companies receiving
federal assistance. In recognition of the growing importance of
employee benefits and executive compensation issues, the Center for
Labor and Employment Law at New York University School of Law
dedicated New York University's 59th Annual Conference on Labor to
an in-depth examination of these topics. This volume of the
proceedings of the 2006 conference contains papers presented at
that meeting, all here updated to reflect recent developments. It
also includes contributions from other practitioners and academics
with extensive knowledge and experience in this specialized field
of labor and employment law. Among the topics presented and
discussed are the following: - the structure and adequacy of the
U.S. system of providing for retirement income; - alternative
models of providing retirement benefits, including a
government-provided livable pension; - accounting standards as a
silent regulatorA" of defined benefit pension plans; - impact and
implications of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA); -
benefits issues for foreign workers in the United States, both
documented and undocumented; - issues for companies that adopt
stock acquisition programs as an employee compensation vehicle; -
recent healthcare reform proposals at the state level as pilot
projects for a national system; - the ERISA preemption scheme and
denial of coverage under an ERISA-governed health care plan; and -
attorney conflict of interest situations under ERISA. As always,
this annual conference captures valuable insights and syntheses of
central labor and employment law issues in the United States and
will be of great value to practitioners and academics in the field.
This book offers a revealing look at how newspapers covered the key
events of the Plains Indian Wars between 1862-1891-reporting that
offers some surprising viewpoints as well as biases and
misrepresentations. The Frontier Newspapers and the Coverage of the
Plains Indian Wars takes readers back to the late 19th century to
show how newspaper reporting impacted attitudes toward the conflict
between the United States and Native Americans. Emphasizing primary
sources and eyewitness accounts, the book focuses on eight
watershed events between 1862 and 1891-the Great Sioux Uprising in
Minnesota, the Sand Creek Massacre, the Fort Laramie Treaty of
1868, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the Flight of the Nez
Perce, the Cheyenne Outbreak, the Trial of Standing Bear, and the
Massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 and its aftermath. Each chapter
examines an individual event, analyzing the balance and accuracy of
the newspaper coverage and how the reporting of the time reinforced
stereotypes about Native Americans. Includes historical photos of
prominent Native Americans and a scene of the aftermath of the
Wounded Knee Massacre Presents an extensive bibliography of books,
articles, and a list of frontier newspapers that served as primary
source material

emphysema treatment trial. It explores the epidemiology of
emphysema, the management of complications and surgical
controversies in lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema
(LVRS).
The attack on the Capitol building following the 2020 election was
an extraordinarily large and brazen crime. Conspiracies were formed
on social media in full public view, the law-breakers paraded on
national television with undisguised faces, and with outgoing
President Donald Trump openly cheering them on. The basic concept
of law enforcement--investigators find criminals and serve
justice--quickly breaks down in the face of such an event. The
system has been strained by the sheer volume of criminals and the
widespread perception that what they did wasn't wrong. A mass of
online tipsters--"sedition hunters"--have mobilized, simultaneously
providing the FBI with valuable intelligence and creating an
ethical dilemma. Who gets to serve justice? How can law enforcement
still function as a pillar of civil society? As the foundations of
our government are questioned, the FBI and Department of Justice
are the first responders to a crisis of democracy and law that
threatens to spread, and fast. In this work of extraordinary
reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries,
obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a
justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized
country. From the moment the police barriers were breached on
January 6th, 2021, Americans knew something had profoundly changed.
Sedition Hunters is the fascinating, high-stakes story of what
happens next.
Getting the Blues: Vision and Cognition in the Middle Ages is an
interdisciplinary study of medieval color. By integrating
scientific and literary approaches, it revises our current
understanding of how people in medieval Europe experienced color
and what it meant to them. This book insists that the past
perception of the world can be recovered by joining timeless
universal constraints on human experience (discovered by science)
to the unique cultural expressions of that experience (revealed by
literature). The Middle Ages may evoke images of the multicolored
stained glass of gothic cathedrals, the motley garb of minstrels,
or the brilliant illuminations of manuscripts, yet such color often
goes unnoticed in scholarly accounts of medieval literature.
Getting the Blues restores some of the most important literary
works of the Middle Ages to their full living color. Particular
consideration is given to the twelfth-century Arthurian romances by
Chretien de Troyes and the thirteenth-century Lancelot-Grail Cycle.
Getting the Blues engages debates within the humanities and the
sciences over universalist and relativist approaches to how humans
see and name color. Scholars in the humanities often insist that
color is a strictly cultural phenomenon, eschewing as irrelevant to
the Middle Ages recent developments in cognitive science that show
universal constraints on how people in all cultures see and name
color. This book contributes to the recent cognitive turn in the
humanities and sheds new light on some of the most frequent and
meaningful cultural experiences in the Middle Ages: the perception,
use, and naming of color.

Recent research underscores a serious lack of preparedness among
hospitals nationwide and a dearth of credible educational programs
and resources on hospital emergency preparedness. As the only
resource of its kind, Health Care Emergency Management: Principles
and Practice specifically addresses hospital and health system
preparedness in the face of a large scale disaster or other
emergency. Administrators, emergency preparedness coordinators, and
clinical staff who are charged with managing preparedness and
emergency management functions for hospitals or healthcare systems
will turn to this guide as an essential reference in planning for
disasters, terrorism, and public health emergencies. Health Care
Emergency Management is also ideal for emergency preparedness
courses in programs of health administration or public health.
Through case studies and practical examples, this book engages the
reader in active learning about this exciting, challenging, and
rewarding field. Key Features: • Chapters are contributed by
leading authorities on the topic of disaster planning. • The only
text that focuses on disaster planning for hospitals and health
systems. • Each chapter offers concrete objectives for focused
learning as well case studies and practical examples that help the
reader understand key concepts • Downloadable resources including
PowerPoints and a TestBank are available for qualified instructors.
