This collection, skillfully edited by Michael P. Johnson, offers
students the essential Lincoln in a brief and accessible format
that makes this a must-assign edition for courses covering the
antebellum period, slavery, and the Civil War. From famous
documents like the Lincoln-Douglas debates and the second inaugural
address to crucial memoranda and letters, it reveals the
development of Lincoln's views on all the critical issues of the
day, including free labor, antebellum politics and the Republican
party, slavery, secession, the Civil War, and emancipation.
Significantly streamlined for the second edition to a more
student-friendly length, the volume retains its successful format:
documents are organized thematically and chronologically, with
editorial headnotes that provide just enough context for students
to understand the significance of each selection. In addition to
Johnson's widely praised biographical introduction, a chronology,
maps and pictures, questions for consideration, selected
bibliography, and a comprehensive index all enhance students'
understanding of this crucial period -- and this crucial figure --
in U.S. history.
The economics literature on pricing and pricing tactics has made
huge progress in the last few decades mostly due to the influence
of the asymmetric information and game theory revolutions in
microeconomic theory. This authoritative two volume collection
brings together some classic contributions which predate these
revolutions, and older and newer papers which have employed these
modern techniques to further our understanding of how pricing works
in real world settings. Pricing Tactics, Strategies, and Outcomes
approaches the subject mainly from the theoretical perspective, but
includes also some important empirical papers. Important topics
covered include entry deterrence, reputation formation, product
line pricing, collusive behavior, tying and bundling, leasing, and
sales and couponing strategies. The book should prove a useful
reference tool for marketing students and faculty interested in the
literature on pricing.
This authoritative handbook reviews the most widely-used methods
for studying the use and abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs. Its
thorough coverage spans the range of quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed-method approaches to documenting and measuring the complex
psychological, behavioral, and physical experience of substance
misuse and dependence, to ensure valid, useful results. Experts
discuss special issues and considerations for conducting ethical
research with specialized populations, including youth, inmates,
and the LGBT community. Throughout these chapters, contributors
demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of substance abuse
research, with emphasis on professional ethics and the critical
role of research in developing best practices and effective policy
for prevention and treatment. Among the topics covered: *
Transdisciplinary research perspective: a theoretical framework for
substance abuse research * Longitudinal methods in substance use
research * Considerations in blending qualitative and quantitative
components in substance abuse research * The use of biological
measures in social research on drug misuse * Using surveys to study
substance use behavior * Applications of GIS to inform substance
abuse research and interventions * Evaluating substance use
prevention and treatment programs Research Methods in the Study of
Substance Abuse is an essential resource for health services and

This edited volume is an introduction to diverse methods and
applications in operations research focused on local populations
and community-based organizations that have the potential to
improve the lives of individuals and communities in tangible ways.
The book's themes include: space, place and community;
disadvantaged, underrepresented or underserved populations;
international and transnational applications; multimethod,
cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches and appropriate
technology; and analytics. The book is comprised of eleven original
submissions, a re-print of a 2007 article by Johnson and Smilowitz
that introduces CBOR, and an introductory chapter that provides
policy motivation, antecedents to CBOR in OR/MS, a theory of CBOR
and a comprehensive review of the chapters. It is hoped that this
book will provide a resource to academics and practitioners who
seek to develop methods and applications that bridge the divide
between traditional OR/MS rooted in mathematical models and newer
streams in 'soft OR' that emphasize problem structuring methods,
critical approaches to OR/MS and community engagement and
capacity-building.
Gazing into crystal balls is beyond the expertise of most
scientists. Yet, as we look further into the 21st century, one does
not have to be Nostradamus to predict that the current genomics and
proteomics "revolution" will have an immense impact on medical
bacteriology. This impact is already being re- ized in many
academic departments, and although encroachment on routine
diagnostic bacteriology, particularly in the hospital setting, is
likely to occur at a slower pace, it remains nonetheless
inevitable. Therefore, it is important that no one working in
bacteriology should find themselves distanced from these
fundamental developments. The involvement of all clinical
bacteriologists is essential if the significant achievements of
genome sequencing and analysis are to be turned into tangible
advances, with resulting benefits for patient care and m- agement.
It is our hope that Genomics, Proteomics, and Clinical
Bacteriology: Methods and Reviews will play a part in bringing such
a development to fruition. The advances in genomics and proteomics
have already given us frequent opportunities to reassess our
knowledge and understanding of established b- terial adversaries,
and have provided us with the means to identify new foes. The new
knowledge gained is enabling us to reconsider, for example, our c-
cepts of bacterial pathogenicity, phylogeny and novel targets for
antibacterial chemotherapy. These topics, and others, are
considered in Genomics, Proteomics, and Clinical Bacteriology:
Methods and Reviews.
As Dr. Cullen's chapter on information technology points out, what
is required is not just a new electronic system that follows the
patients, but a new language that creates and defines a system that
can appropriately care for the patient. What we design for the
complexities of caring for the medically underserved can serve as
model for caring for everyone in this country. Many innovative,
bold, and wonderful solutions have been developed as local/
regional models. As communities and states we can learn from, and
support, each other. But the local models are not, by and large,
self-sustaining. Ultimately, so- tions to the lack of medical
insurance in this country will require a national persp- tive, and
federal funding. That is part of the work we all must do, and Dr.
Dalen's chapter points out some of the possibilities and pitfalls
other countries have experienced. When I wonder how the system we
have hasn't already collapsed from its own weight, I just need to
look at the people working within it. Healthcare is a service
industry, and we have been blessed with professionals who
understand and live the concept of service in their daily lives,
who go the extra mile for the patient despite the vagaries, the
barriers, and the sometimes mean spiritedness of the organi- tional
infrastructure.
In this fascinating study, Peter Johnson makes explicit the issues
involved in using the novel as a source in moral philosophy. The
book pays close attention to questions of method, aesthetic
accounts of the novel and the nature of ethical knowledge. The
views of leading philosophers are examined and criticized in the
light of the book's distinctive contribution to the current
debate.

Domestic violence, a serious and far-reaching social problem, has
generated two key debates among researchers. The first debate is
about gender and domestic violence. Some scholars argue that
domestic violence is primarily male-perpetrated, others that women
are as violent as men in intimate relationships. Johnson's response
to this debate - and the central theme of this book - is that there
is more than one type of intimate partner violence. Some studies
address the type of violence that is perpetrated primarily by men,
while others are getting at the kind of violence that women are
involved in as well. Because there has been no theoretical
framework delineating types of domestic violence, researchers have
easily misread one another's studies.The second major debate
involves how many women are abused each year by their partners.
Estimates range from two to six million. Johnson's response once
again comes from this book's central theme. If there is more than
one type of intimate partner violence, then the numbers depend on
what type you're talking about.Johnson argues that domestic
violence is not a unitary phenomenon. Instead, he delineates three
major, dramatically different, forms of partner violence: intimate
terrorism, violent resistance, and situational couple violence. He
roots the conceptual distinctions among the forms of violence in an
analysis of the role of power and control in relationship violence
and shows that the failure to make these basic distinctions among
types of partner violence has produced a research literature that
is plagued by both overgeneralizations and ostensibly contradictory
findings. This volume begins the work of theorizing forms of
domestic violence, a crucial first step to a better understanding
of these phenomena among scholars, social scientists, policy
makers, and service providers.It reassesses thirty years of
domestic violence research and demonstrates three forms of partner
violence, distinctive in their origins, effects, and treatments.

Four score and seven years ago . . . . Are any six words better
known, of greater import, or from a more crucial moment in our
nation's history? And yet after 150 years the dramatic and
surprising story of how Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address has
never been fully told. Until now. Martin Johnson's remarkable work
of historical and literary detection illuminates a speech, a man,
and a moment in history that we thought we knew. Johnson guides
readers on Lincoln's emotional and intellectual journey to the
speaker's platform, revealing that Lincoln himself experienced
writing the Gettysburg Address as an eventful process that was
filled with the possibility of failure, but which he knew resulted
finally in success beyond expectation. We listen as Lincoln talks
with the cemetery designer about the ideals and aspirations behind
the unprecedented cemetery project, look over Lincoln's shoulder as
he rethinks and rewrites his speech on the very morning of the
ceremony, and share his anxiety that he might not live up to the
occasion. And then, at last, we stand with Lincoln at Gettysburg,
when he created the words and image of an enduring and authentic
legend. Writing the Gettysburg Address resolves the puzzles and
problems that have shrouded the composition of Lincoln's most
admired speech in mystery for fifteen decades. Johnson shows when
Lincoln first started his speech, reveals the state of the document
Lincoln brought to Gettysburg, traces the origin of the false story
that Lincoln wrote his speech on the train, identifies the
manuscript Lincoln held while speaking, and presents a new method
for deciding what Lincoln's audience actually heard him say.
Ultimately, Johnson shows that the Gettysburg Address was a speech
that grew and changed with each step of Lincoln's eventful journey
to the podium. His two-minute speech made the battlefield and the
cemetery into landmarks of the American imagination, but it was
Lincoln's own journey to Gettysburg that made the Gettysburg
Address.
