As governments seek to mitigate the cost of state-subsidized healthcare, branding in the pharmaceutical industry has become a critical issue. Drugs companies must change their methods of communication and distribution--focusing more on their direct relationship with the consumer. This requires fundamental changes in consumer behavior, access to information, freedom of choice, and value for money. Brands and brand values will play a leading role in this process, as has been seen with products such as Prozac and Viagra. This book by Interbrand Newell and Sorrell, the world's leading branding consultancy, provides cutting-edge thinking on this area and lessons for anyone involved in brand development and management.
The criminal justice system has driven a wedge between black men
and their children. African American men are involved in the
criminal justice system, whether through incarceration, probation,
or parole, at near epidemic levels. At the same time, the criminal
justice system has made little or no institutional efforts to
maintain or support continuing relationships between these men and
their families. Consequently, African American families are harmed
by this in countless ways, from the psychological, physical, and
material suffering experienced by the men themselves, to losses
felt by their mates, children, and extended family members. The
volume opens with an introduction and brief review by R. Robin
Miller, Sandra Lee Browning, and Lisa M. Spruance, outlining the
impacts of incarceration on the African American family. Brad
Tripp, explores changes in family relationships and the identity of
incarcerated African American fathers. Mary Balthazar and Lula King
discuss the loss of the protective effect of marital and nonmarital
relationships and its impact on incarcerated African American men,
and the implications for African American men and those who work
with them in the helping professions. Theresa Clark explores the
relationship between visits by family and friends and the nature of
inmate behavior. In a research note, Olga Grinstead, Bonnie
Faigeles, Carrie Bancroft, and Barry Zack investigate the actual
costs families incur to maintain contact with family members, be it
emotional, social, or financial. Patricia E. O'Connor uses data
from sociolinguistic interviews of male inmates from a maximum
security prison to study how some of these men manage to continue
to fulfill the fatherhood role long-distance. In a concluding
chapter, Sandra Lee Browning, Robin Miller, and Lisa Spruance focus
on actions of the criminal justice system that undermine the black
family, on reasons that black male inmate fathers are studied so
rarely, and discuss the role restorative justice may play. This
insightful volume fills a void in the literature on the role of
African American men in the functioning of families. It will be of
interest to students of African American studies, social workers,
and policy makers.
The Imperial Animal offers a compelling perspective on the
controversy over humans and their biology. This now-classic study
is about the social bonds that hold us together and the antisocial
theories that drive us apart. The authors divulge how the
evolutionary past of the species, reflected in genetic codes,
determines our present and coerces our future. This book gives us a
direct and intimate look at how we see ourselves. It offers insight
into our politics, our ways of learning and teaching, reproducing
and producing, playing and fighting. The authors assert that the
purpose of this book is twofold: to describe what is known about
the evolution of human behavior, and then to try to show how the
consequences of this evolution affect our behavior today. To do
this they draw from numerous disciplines zoology, biology, history,
and primatology, among others. In the new introduction, Tiger and
Fox outline then- reasons for originally writing the book as well
as the process they used to do their research. The Imperial Animal
is a classic work that will continue to be of interest to
sociologists, zoologists, biologists, and primatologists.

What distinguishes participatory action research from traditional
research paradigms is that the researcher's ethical, social, and
political agenda is made explicit beyond simply the methodology. In
thirteen essays, the contributors detail the history of such
research, theoretical considerations, and its applications to a
diversity of areas (agricu
