Romanticism and the Museum argues that museums were integral to
Britain's understanding of itself as a nation in the wake of the
French Revolution. It features Wordsworth, Scott, Edgeworth, and
literary periodicals featuring Byron and Horace Smith.
The social sciences are still predominantly modernist disciplines
and, as such, products of the Enlightenment. Recent challenges to
Enlightenment thinking thus carry with them the potential or threat
to transform the social sciences radically. Postmodernism and the
Social Sciences examines the nature and potential of this
postmodernist challenge in each of the major social sciences.
Starting with the practices of particular disciplines and
proceeding to matters of shared concern, the essays provide an
accessible discussion of the contemporary impact of postmodernism
on social scientific thought.
This title was first published in 2002: Health systems across the
globe face similar problems: controlling costs while maintaining or
improving health care quality and access. Notwithstanding the
unprecedented health system reforms of the past decades, many
outstanding problems remain in these areas. Drawing on experts from
Europe and America this eclectic collection of leading edge
research examines the impact of organizational development on
improving quality and efficiency in health care. A series of
chapters provide accounts of organizational reconfiguration in the
UK and elsewhere. The contributors examine how structural and
procedural changes must be matched by the development of human
resource services if increases in efficiency and effectiveness are
to be achieved. The book will be of interest to health care
academics, policy makers, managers and practitioners who are
interested in keeping abreast of the latest developments in health
care research.
The title was first published in 2001: The papers in this volume,
selected from nearly 100 submissions to the Fourth International
Conference on Strategic Issues in Health Care Management, reflect
the work taking place in health economics. The first five chapters
in the collection examine the role of economics within clinical
guidelines and suggest methods of improving the quality of economic
evaluation which is now at the centre of decision-making in the
NHS. The second section of the book is comprised of two papers on
inequalities and access. The third part contains four papers, two
of which cover reviews and tackle some theoretical issues regarding
demand, and two are applied case studies. The fourth section
assesses performance, and the final four papers review health
reforms in a number of countries including the UK, Canada, France
and Turkey.

The social sciences are still predominantly developments of the
Enlightenment, extensions of the conceptions and methods of
Newtonian science. Recently a number of social theorists have
brought the presuppositions of Enlightenment thinking under
critical scrutiny and have called into question the basis of much
social scientific thinking. Despite the seriousness of this
postmodernist challenge, its nature and dimensions remain unclear
especially to those in the modernist mainstream. The essays in this
book are designed to call attention to the challenge and in a
manner accessible to those not so familiar with the more
theoretical writings of postmodernism. The essays range over the
social sciences and ask what the implications of postmodernism
thinking are for the modernist disciplines of social anthropology,
sociology, geography, social psychology, international relations
and economics. An introductory essay provides a survey of the
beginnings of postmodernism in literary theory and in the study of
art and architecture and raises questions about the translation of
the vocabulary of postmodernism into the social sciences.
