Ronen Avraham, David Hyman and Charles Silver, leading authorities
in their fields, discuss the effects of economic and legal
constraints and regulation on healthcare. They examine the impact
of access to healthcare on mortality and clinical outcomes and
investigate healthcare financing, including payment to providers,
expanding costs, health insurance and the provision of long-term
care. The distribution of spending and the expansion of provision
are also investigated. The regulatory aspect includes discussions
on the regulation of healthcare practice, medical malpractice and
liability, and public health and ethical issues.
This volume explores the development of political parties in
nineteenth-century United States of America through an extensive
analysis of the official statements by a party in an election, the
party platforms, and their connection with political elites and
voters. Platforms indicate how party leaders reconciled local,
state, and national conflicts and articulated their electoral
appeals to various constituencies by showing discussions of their
respective policies. Thus, party platforms are a valuable vehicle
to assess electoral strategy and party development. By focusing on
the platforms of the major political parties-Democrats, Whigs, and
Republicans-at the state and national levels in presidential
elections from 1840 to 1896, the author identifies three salient
patterns. First, platforms reference economic policy more
frequently and to a greater degree than other policy areas. Second,
national policies are discussed more than state policies. And
third, over time, the content of the platforms becomes more
similar, reflecting the nationalization of the party system. This
examination of nineteenth-century American party platforms traces
political party development as a dynamic process involving
partisanship, the presentation of internally coherent and
consistent messages to voters, and polarization, the existence of
conflicting policy positions across parties.

Tracing the evolution of the Tanzanian manufacturing industry since
the beginning of colonial rule, this book focuses on the period
since independence and especially on the effects of socialist
policies resulting from the 1967 Arusha Declaration. Dr. Silver
develops volume indices of production for Tanzanian industry as a
whole and for individual sectors. He also examines in detail
changes in labor productivity, earnings, unit labor costs,
investments, and the prices of manufactured goods, paying special
attention to the role of government-controlled parastatals, the
regional distribution of manufacturing industries, and income
inequality. The rapid growth in production and employment and the
changing structure of the manufacturing industry, he concludes, is
due to high rates of investment in a small number of relatively
large establishments, primarily in the parastatal sector.

Mouse Genetics offers for the first time in a single comprehensive volume a practical guide to mouse breeding and genetics. Nearly all human genes are present in the mouse genome, making it an ideal organism for genetic analyses of both normal and abnormal aspects of human biology. Written as a convenient reference, this book provides a complete description of the laboratory mouse, the tools used in analysis, and procedures for carrying out genetic studies, along with background material and statistical information for use in ongoing data analysis. It thus serves two purposes, first to provide students with an introduction to the mouse as a model system for genetic analysis, and to give practicing scientists a detailed guide for performing breeding studies and interepreting experimental results. All topics are developed completely, with full explanations of critical concepts in genetics and molecular biology. As investigators around the world are rediscovering both the heuristic and practical value of the mouse genome, the demand for a succinct introduction to the subject has never been greater. Mouse Genetics is intended to meet the needs of this wide audience.
As politicians debate how to address the estimated eleven million
unauthorized immigrants residing in the United States, undocumented
youth anxiously await the next policy shift that will determine
their futures. From one day to the next, their dreams are as likely
to crumble around them as to come within reach. In Shifting
Boundaries, Alexis M. Silver sheds light on the currents of
exclusion and incorporation that characterize their lives. Silver
examines the experiences of immigrant youth growing up in a small
town in North Carolinaâa state that experienced unprecedented
growth in its Latino population in the 1990s and 2000s, and where
aggressive anti-immigration policies have been enforced. Drawing on
ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interview data, she finds that
contradictory policies at the national, state, and local levels
interact to create a complex environment through which the youth
must navigate. From heritage-based school programs to state-wide
bans on attending community college; from the failure of the DREAM
Act to the rescinding of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA); each layer represents profound implications for
undocumented Latino youth. Silver exposes the constantly changing
pathways that shape their journeys into early adulthoodâand the
profound resilience that they develop along the way.

We seem to be witnessing the rebirth of the concept of an
integrated social science, a complete theory of human action and
interaction in all its ramifica tions and complications. What we
call society is simply the totality of human exchange. Economics is
a theory of human exchange of certain types. Although the qualities
of what is being exchanged as well as the conditions of exchange
may vary, economic theory has recently broadened its scope
sufficiently to begin to be general enough to handle these problems
as well. In the present work we attempt to see what insights are
revealed by the application of economic categories to political
history. We feel there are many. At this point Silver stops. !
Auster continues. A quick spin around the "policy" block in the new
model so to speak, hence Chapter 8. For the rest, however, this is
truly a joint work. The authors' names appear in alphabetical
order. After 12 years of professional asso ciation, claims to
precedence in origination could too clearly be self-deception. !
Silver is even more pessimistic than Auster, in particular about
which types of reforms will be accepted. With the rise to affluence
of most members of our society the mass itself has become concerned
with political reform as almost a new form of entertainment. Unfor
tunately, they have no idea how to improve matters.
5 by predations of the sea peoples. However, the weakening of
Mycenean seapower, the destruction of the Hittite kingdom, and
finally, the limitation on Philistine strength resulting from the
alliance between David and the king of Tyre in the eleventh
century, combined to open up "for the Phoenicians, in the first
quarter of the first millennium B. C. E. vast overseas trading
areas" (Oded 1979a, p. 228). By the end of the eleventh century,
pottery from Cyprus, after a long absence could once again be found
in Israelite-occupied sites (Albright 1960, p. 47). The expansion
of the sea trade in the Mediterranean in which, judging by the song
of Deborah (Judg. 5), the northern tribes of Asher and Dan (?) (see
figure 1-2) would have parti cipated, was accompanied by the
inauguration of camel caravans trans porting the goods of southern
Arabia to and through Israel (see Bulliet 1975, especially p. 36).
Military victories over the Philistines and Syrians, receipts of
tribute, and the collection of tolls from the control of trade
routes together with the general revival of trade all contributed
to Israel's growing wealth. Indeed, the David-Solomon period (most
of the tenth century) is often portrayed as the peak of Israelite
economic development. In fact there is precious little extra
biblical evidence supporting this portrayal. For example, in spite
of the reported activity of David and Solomon's scribes, only one
example of 6 "Hebrew" writing from this period, the Gezer Calendar,
has been found."

Concerns computer-based information systems that can affect the
decision making behavior of their users. It tells the reader how to
describe these systems and how to differentiate one from the other.
Its main features are: a broad definition of Decision Support
Systems (DSS), a process view of decision making, which leads to
viewing DSS as interventions into the processes through which
decisions are made, and a descriptive rather than a prescriptive
approach.
uring the 1920s and 1930s, Phyllis Barron (1890-1964) and Dorothy
Larcher (1882-1952) were at the forefront of a revival in hand
block-printing in Britain. As designer-makers they formed a unique
partnership, producing innovative textiles and seeing the entire
process through from beginning to end. Using whatever materials
they could muster - fabric ranging from balloon cotton to prison
sheets and velvet, and everyday items such as combs and car mats
for printing - and pushing the boundaries of what could be achieved
with predominantly natural dyes, these two remarkable women ran a
successful business that lasted from 1923 until the outbreak of
World War II. Nearly one hundred years on, another special
collaboration between the Craft Studies Centre in Farnham,
Christopher Farr Cloth and Ivo Prints, has brought a selection of
Barron and Larcher's work back into production. The warm welcome
they have received across the globe is a testament to the timeless
quality of great design.
Despite the increased public awareness of traumatic brain injury
(TBI), the complexities of the neuropsychiatric,
neuropsychological, neurological, and other physical consequences
of TBI of all severities across the lifespan remain incompletely
understood by patients, their families, healthcare providers, and
the media. Keeping pace with advances in the diagnosis, treatment,
and science of TBI, the Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury, Third
Edition, comprehensively fills this gap in knowledge. Nearly all 50
chapters feature new authors, all of them experts in their field.
Chapters new to this edition include biomechanical forces,
biomarkers, neurodegenerative dementias, suicide, endocrine
disorders, chronic disease management, and social cognition. An
entirely new section is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of
mild TBI, including injuries in athletes, military service members
and veterans, and children and adolescents. These chapters join
newly updated sections on the assessment and treatment of the
cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and other physical sequelae of
TBI. The Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury is a must-read for all
of those working in any of the multitude of disciplines that
contribute to the care and rehabilitation of persons with brain
injury. This new volume is also a potentially useful reference for
policymakers in both the public and private sectors.
"Programming Cultures" explores the relationship between software
engineering and the various disciplines that benefit from new codes
and programming tools. The title focuses on a range of practices
including: aviation design, urban infrastructure simulation,
Hollywood special effects, nanotechnology, mathematics and
architecture. In terms of building design, "Programming Cultures"
specifically examine's the potential of new software designed to
solve specific visualization and data processing problems from
within the profession. The book allows architects to become more
familiar with programming rather than basing their work on
appropriated systems designed for non-architectural applications
(Maya, 3D Studio MAX etc.) and will become a primer for an emerging
culture of students; academics and young professionals that are
starting to outgrow the predetermined structure of today's most
popular modeling and animation packages.
