This study examines Marx's disputes with, and attacks upon,
those anarchist theoreticians he encountered at various stages of
his career. Marx's attacks on Stirner, Proudhon and Bakunin are
shown to be of vital importance to his career as a theorist and
revolutionist. The formative influences upon Marx's writings and
his political activity are discussed and analyzed. The author
re-situates Marx's thought in the context of the 19th century when
Marxism was not an unchallenged orthodoxy but a doctrine and method
that needed to be defended against rival revolutionary
impulses.
This book may provide the first and only clinical analysis that
shows just why there is no such thing as irrational or
dysfunctional behavior. The nonlinear contingency analysis
presented demonstrates through principle and application that even
the most personally costly behavior is in fact adaptive and
sensible behavior when available alternatives and their
consequences are explicitly considered --This book shows how a
nonlinear consequential contingency analysis, goes beyond cognitive
behavioral treatment, to provide an entirely new approach to
clinical intervention. For those employing cognitive behavioral and
related treatments this will be a must-read for the opportunity it
provides practitioners to challenge and expand their treatment
options, and or those who teach the increasingly growing number of
BCBA candidates, this is the only book that will directly relate
the scientific literature being taught in their programs to
clinical intervention. This is one of the few books to provide a
comprehensive approach to treating clinically complex behavior
problems such as delusions and hallucinations, as well as a
framework for behavior problems arising from organic sources, such
as those found in cognitive decline.
Health care is increasingly under pressure. Budget crises are
making collaboration and smart thinking essential, while increasing
numbers of people with multiple long-term conditions make
specialist models of health care increasingly inefficient -
patients too often go from one specialist to another, duplicating
effort and paying too little attention to the bigger picture of
their health. Collaborating for Health outlines a solution:
community-oriented integrated care and health promotion. Designed
to prevent the problems of fragmented care, this approach focuses
on building teams, networks and communities for health and care at
local level, where it is easier to see the range of factors that
affect people's health. With the emphasis on partnership-working
between primary care, public health and others, it allows clusters
of general practices to share the work of integrating efforts for
care and health improvement, and for non-medical organisations to
lead parallel initiatives for health and care. Introducing both
horizontal and vertical integration, Thomas presents ways to
develop community-oriented integrated care in a sustainable way,
and how to practise the skills in small ways before you have to
perform on a big stage. This guide is for anyone interested in how
multidisciplinary primary care teams can orchestrate most aspects
of health and care at local level, with timely specialist input.

Currently, both the status quo of public education and the "No
Excuses" Reform policies are identical. The reform offers a popular
and compelling narrative based on the meritocracy and rugged
individualism myths that are supposed to define American idealism.
This volume will refute this ideology by proposing Social Context
Reform, a term coined by Paul Thomas which argues for educational
change within a larger plan to reform social inequity-such as
access to health care, food, higher employment, better wages and
job security. Since the accountability era in the early 1980s,
policy, public discourse, media coverage, and scholarly works have
focused primarily on reforming schools themselves. Here, the
evidence that school-only reform does not work is combined with a
bold argument to expand the discourse and policy surrounding
education reform to include how social, school, and classroom
reform must work in unison to achieve goals of democracy, equity,
and opportunity both in and through public education. This volume
will include a wide variety of essays from leading critical
scholars addressing the complex elements of social context reform,
all of which address the need to re-conceptualize accountability
and to seek equity and opportunity in social and education reform.

Engels declared at Marx's funeral in Highgate Cemetery that "just
as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so
Marx discovered the law of development of human history".
Scientific socialism was the term Engels used to describe Marx's
socio-economic philosophy and many later theorists sought to
reinforce Marxist theory with a supposedly scientific basis. This
book explains the development of the idea of scientific socialism
through the 19th and 20th century from its origins in Engels to its
last manifestation in the work of Althusser. It provides a detailed
analysis of Engel's own conceptualisation, the impact of Darwin,
the relationship to the 'official' historical materialism of the
Soviet states and later reformulations by Althusser and others. In
so doing it provides a vivid intellectual history of Marxist and
socialist thought, exploring its significant insights as well its
manifest failures. Marxism and Scientific Socialism will be of
particular interest to those with an interest in the development of
Marxism and socialism, political ideologies and the history of
Western political thought.

Food irradiation is increasingly used worldwide as a proven and effective method of food preservation, as well as for improvement of food safety and quality. The International Conference on Ensuring the Safety and Quality of Food through Radiation Processing convened for the presentation of new irradiation technology, and to assess the role of irradiation in ensuring the safety and nutritional adequacy of food of plant and animal origin.
This new book presents the complete texts of all twenty reports from the conference. Examined are applications of the technology in produce, animal products, and prepared foods, the economics of various irradiation technologies, international regulations, the marketing of irradiated products to consumers and retail outlets, and irradiation's implications for the global trade in food and agricultural commodities. Also included is new information on the scientific, regulatory, and consumer acceptance status of food irradiation and the role this technology will play in the 21st century.
The new information in this book will be useful to all those involved in the processing, preservation, and distribution of food, as well as food industry managers and regulatory personnel. To receive your copy promptly, please order now. Information on ordering follows the complete table of contents. Conference Sponsors and Speakers This conference was sponsored by three U.N. Agencies: IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), and the WHO (World Health Organization). All authors are leading experts in aspects of food irradiation.
From the Editor's Foreword "Significant developments on the acceptance and application of food irradiation as a method to ensure food safety and quality and to facilitate food trade have occurred in recent years. Regulations on food irradiation in many countries either have been or are being harmonized based on the Codex General Standard for Irradiated Foods and relevant recommendations of the International Consultative Group on Food Irradiation (ICGFI). The number of irradiation facilities for treating food is increasing and many more are under construction or being planned. The consumers are getting accurate information and are beginning to appreciate the benefit of irradiated foods…. The potential of irradiation as a method to ensure the hygienic quality of food, especially those of animal origin, as a quarantine treatment of fresh horticultural commodities, and as a substitute for fumigants, is being realized… The Conference reaffirmed the view that the safety and nutritional adequacy of irradiated food produced under conditions of Good Manufacturing Practice is no longer in question, regardless of the absorbed dose."

When an athlete with an exceptional record of achievement and
longevity comes to the end of their career, the numbers can speak
for themselves. Ross Taylor has scored the most runs, made the most
centuries and taken the most catches by a New Zealander in
international cricket. He's the first New Zealand cricketer to play
450 international matches. He's the first player from any country
to make 100 international appearances in all three formats of the
game: test cricket, one-day internationals and Twenty20. The
numbers are extraordinary but they don't tell the whole story. They
don't capture the unlikely, if not unique, aspects of Ross Taylor's
journey to becoming one of our true sporting greats: * the
part-Samoan youngster, brought up in humble circumstances and a
loving and supportive family environment, who quickly made his mark
in a predominantly white sport; * the dashing batsman who found
fame and fortune amidst the glitz and glamour of the Indian Premier
League, then adapted his game in order to realise his ambition of
becoming a champion in the most demanding format, test cricket; *
the young captain whose dream of leading his country turned into a
nightmare that took a heavy toll on his well-being; * the resilient
performer who overcame rejection and adversity to play a central
role in New Zealand cricket's golden era. Here is the whole story -
in black and white.

This book challenges the narrative of Northern England as a failed
space of multiculturalism, drawing on a historically-contextualised
discussion of ethnic relations to argue that multiculturalism has
been more successful and locally situated than these assumptions
allow. The authors examine the interplay between 'race', space and
place to analyse how profound economic change, the evolving nature
of the state, individual racism, and the local creation and
enactment of multiculturalist policies have all contributed to
shaping the trajectory of ethnic/faith identities and
inter-community relations at a local level. In doing so, the book
analyses both change and continuity in discussion of, and
national/local state policy towards, ethnic relations, particularly
around the supposed segregation/integration dichotomy, and the ways
in which racialised 'events' are perceived and 'identities' are
created and reflected in state policy operations. Drawing on the
authors' long involvement in empirical research, policy and
practice around ethnicity, 'race' and racism in the Northern
England, they effectively support critical and situated analysis of
controversial, racialised issues, and set these geographically
specific findings in the context of wider international experiences
of and tensions around growing ethnic diversity in the context of
profound economic and social changes.
A brilliant young historian offers a vital, comprehensive
international military history of the Cold War in which he views
the decade-long superpower struggles as one of the three great
conflicts of the twentieth century alongside the two World Wars,
and reveals how bloody the "Long Peace" actually was. In this
sweeping, deeply researched book, Paul Thomas Chamberlin boldly
argues that the Cold War, long viewed as a mostly peaceful, if
tense, diplomatic standoff between democracy and communism, was
actually a part of a vast, deadly conflict that killed millions on
battlegrounds across the postcolonial world. For half a century, as
an uneasy peace hung over Europe, ferocious proxy wars raged in the
Cold War's killing fields, resulting in more than fourteen million
dead-victims who remain largely forgotten and all but lost to
history. A superb work of scholarship illustrated with four maps,
The Cold War's Killing Fields is the first global military history
of this superpower conflict and the first full accounting of its
devastating impact. More than previous armed conflicts, the wars of
the post-1945 era ravaged civilians across vast stretches of
territory, from Korea and Vietnam to Bangladesh and Afghanistan to
Iraq and Lebanon. Chamberlin provides an understanding of this
sweeping history from the ground up and offers a moving portrait of
human suffering, capturing the voices of those who experienced the
brutal warfare. Chamberlin reframes this era in global history and
explores in detail the numerous battles fought to prevent nuclear
war, bolster the strategic hegemony of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.,
and determine the fate of societies throughout the Third World.
