Distinguished scholars in law and the social sciences examine the
state of American legal culture, particularly adversarial legalism,
in light of the criticisms of the current anti-lawyer movement.
They assess the strengths and weaknesses of this culture, its
impact on the broader society, and its recent spread to other
countries. The American legal system is under heavy attack for the
impact it is supposed to have on American culture and society
generally. A common complaint of the anti-lawyer movement is that
under the influence of lawyers we have become a litigious society,
in the process undermining traditional American values such as
self-reliance and responsibility. In this volume a group of
distinguished scholars in law and the social sciences explores
these questions. Neither an apology for lawyers nor a critique,
Legal Culture and the Legal Profession examines the successes and
the problems of the U. S. legal system, its impact on the broader
culture, and the spread of American legal culture abroad.

Trauma in older people aged over 65 is a rapidly growing field
within orthopaedics. Up to two thirds of fractures occur as a
result of a fall and about one third of all fractures occur in the
over-65 population. The aim of this comprehensive new text is to
present the epidemiology and management of all musculoskeletal
trauma that occurs in the elderly. The book deals with the
assessment and treatment of medical comorbidities, complications,
and the role of orthogeriatric care. The focus of the book is on
the practical management of fractures although soft tissue injuries
and dislocations are also discussed. Reflecting the
multidisciplinary nature of the field, contributors are drawn from
orthopaedics and orthogeriatrics on both sides of the Atlantic. The
book is intended for all surgeons and physicians involved in the
treatment of trauma in the elderly, and it will be relevant to
trainees and as well as experienced practitioners.
There may be areas of human life in which people have profited from
understanding history, but criminal justice is definitely not one
of them. In this field, each generation seems to undo the last
generation's reforms. Each generation resurrects old failures and
trots them out as new. A previous generation hailed indeterminate

The result of visits to Russia from 1930-1932, this book, published
in 1933, at a time when the social structure of the world was in
great upheaval, covers a wide range of the activities of Soviet
Russia. Much of the book covers the Five-Year Plan in relation to
industry, agriculture, labour, banking and the budget, but legal,
political and sociological aspects of the country are also covered.
The final section, which discusses the direction US foreign policy
should take in relation to Russia has an enduring relevance today,
some 70 years after this book was first published.
Exploring the interactions that swirl around scientific uncertainty
and its coverage by the mass media, this volume breaks new ground
by looking at these issues from three different perspectives: that
of communication scholars who have studied uncertainty in a number
of ways; that of science journalists who have covered these issues;
and that of scientists who have been actively involved in
researching uncertain science and talking to reporters about it. In
particular, "Communicating Uncertainty" examines how well the mass
media convey to the public the complexities, ambiguities, and
controversies that are part of scientific uncertainty.
In addition to its new approach to scientific uncertainty and mass
media interactions, this book distinguishes itself in the quality
of work it assembles by some of the best known science
communication scholars in the world. This volume continues the
exploration of interactions between scientists and journalists that
the three coeditors first documented in their highly successful
volume, "Scientists and Journalists: Reporting Science as News, "
which was used for many years as a text in science journalism
courses around the world.

In this compelling book, Lawrence M. Friedman looks at situations
where killing is condemned by law but not by social norms and,
therefore, is rarely punished. He shows how penal codes categorize
homicides by degree of intent, which are in turn based on society's
sense of moral outrage. Despite being officially defined as murder,
many homicides have historically gone unpunished. Friedman looks at
early vigilante justice, crimes of passion, murder of necessity,
mercy killings, and assisted suicides. In his explorations of these
unpunished homicides, Friedman probes what these circumstances tell
us about conflicts in social and cultural norms, and the
interaction of law and society.

"Guarding Life's Dark Secrets" tells the story of an intriguing
aspect of the social and legal culture in the United States, the
construction and destruction of a network of doctrines designed to
protect reputation. The strict and unbending rules of decency and
propriety of the nineteenth century, especially concerning sexual
behavior, paradoxically provided ways to protect and shield
respectable men and women who deviated from the official norms.
This "Victorian compromise," which created an important zone of
privacy, first came under attack from moralists for its tolerance
of sin. During the second half of the twentieth century, the old
structure was largely dismantled by an increasingly permissive
society.
Rich with anecdotes, Friedman's account draws us into the present.
The Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution to include a
right of privacy, which has given ordinary people increased
freedom, especially in matters of sex, reproduction, and choice of
intimate partners. The elite, however, no longer have the freedom
they once had to violate decency rules with impunity. Although
public figures may have lost some of their privacy rights, ordinary
people have gained more privacy, greater leeway, and broader
choices. These gains, however, are now under threat as technology
transforms the modern world into a world of surveillance.
This collection provides an introduction to the multiple uses of
history in contemporary political debate and conflict, for
introductory and advanced courses in comparative politics and
contemporary world history. As communities reimagine themselves, a
contest over defining legitimacy, identifying us and others, and
jockeying for political control intersects with fights over history
and memory. Here distinguished scholars examine how competing
versions of national identity are legitimized through appeals to
carefully constructed "pasts" both in democracies and in repressive
regimes. The essays focus on the cases of Armenia, Chile, Spain,
Germany, India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, Japan, Nigeria,
and the United States to draw broader conclusions about the
worldwide effect of traumatic memory, questions of punishment and
restitution, and the instrumentalization of the past for political
purposes.

Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by
potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of
continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada
Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps
is reconstructed from the distribution of depocenters, lithofacies
and structures in structural-formational etages in sedimentary
cover. Each etage is a rock succession formed during a particular
tectonic stage; regional tectonic restructuring closes each stage,
and the next stage represents a new tectonic regime. Practical
tectonic analysis, based on observation of rocks and geophysical
data, is a reliable guide for deciphering a region's geologic
history and for resource exploration."

This book describes four different methods of paleotemperature
assessment on selected Paleozoic rock units and determines spatial
variations in maximum burial depths of these units and thicknesses
of lost overburden. Stratigraphic and tectonic history of the
northern Appalachian basin is described in details followed by a
critical review of fluid inclusion, clay diagenesis, organic
maturation, and stable isotope techniques of paleotemperature
measurements in sedimentary rocks.
In recent years, major social forces such as: ageing
populations, social trends, migration patterns, and the
globalization of economies, have reshaped social welfare policies
and practices across the globe. Multinational corporations, NGOs,
and other international organizations have begun to influence
social policy at a national and local level. Among the many
ramifications of these changes is that globalizing influences may
hinder the ability of individual nation-states to effect policies
that are beneficial to them on a local level. With contributions
from thirteen countries worldwide, this collected work represents
the first major comparative analysis on the effect of globalization
on the international welfare state.
The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society is divided into two
major sections: the first draws from a number of leading social
welfare researchers from diverse countries who point to the
nation-state as case studies; highlighting how it goes about
establishing and revising social welfare provisions. The second
portion of the volume then moves to a more global perspective in
its analysis and questioning of the impact of globalisation on
citizenship, ageing and marketization.
With its integrative analyses of policy and practice in
countries struggling to provide social welfare support for their
needy populations, The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society
will become an important voice in the debate on social welfare.
Before 1940, the Japanese empire stood as the greatest single
threat to the American presence in the Pacific and East Asia. To a
lesser degree, the formerly hegemonic colonial powers of Britain,
France, and the Netherlands still controlled portions of the
region. At the same time, subjugated peoples in East Asia and
Southeast Asia struggled to throw off colonialism. By the late
1930s, the competition exploded into armed conflict. Japan looked
like the early victor, but the United States eventually established
itself as the hegemonic power in the Pacific Basin by 1945. Yet
when it comes to the American movement out into the Pacific, there
is more to the story that has yet to be revealed. In War in the
American Pacific and East Asia, 1941--1972, editor Hal Friedman
brings together nine essays that explore lesser known aspects and
consequences of America's military expansion into the Pacific
during and after World War II. This study explores how the United
States won the Pacific War against Japan and how it sought to
secure that victory in the decades that followed, ensure it never
endured another Pearl Harbor--style defeat, and saw the Pacific
fulfill a Manifest Destiny--like role as an American frontier
projected toward East Asia. The collection explores the role of the
US military in the Pacific Basin in different ways by presenting
essays on interservice rivalry and military advising as well as
unique topics that are new to military history, such as the
investigations of strategic communications, military public
relations, institutional cultures of elite forces, foodways, and
the military's interaction with the press. Together, these essays
provide a path for historians to pursue groundbreaking areas of
research about the Pacific and establish the Pacific War as the
pivotal point in the twentieth century in the Pacific Basin.
