The Second Reform Act, passed in 1867, created a million new
voters, doubling the electorate and propelling the British state
into the age of mass politics. It marked the end of a twenty year
struggle for the working class vote, in which seven different
governments had promised change. Yet the standard works on 1867 are
more than forty years old and no study has ever been published of
reform in prior decades. This study provides the first analysis of
the subject from 1848 to 1867, ranging from the demise of Chartism
to the passage of the Second Reform Act. Recapturing the vibrancy
of the issue and its place at the heart of Victorian political
culture, it focuses not only on the reform debate itself, but on a
whole series of related controversies, including the growth of
trade unionism, the impact of the 1848 revolutions and the
discussion of French and American democracy.

Many books have been written on fiction technique, and the chief
excuse for the present addition to the number is the complexity of
the subject. Its range is so wide, it calls for so many and so
different capacities in one attempting to discuss it, that a new
work has more than a chance to meet at least two or three
deficiencies in all other treatments. I believe that the chief
deficiency in most works on fiction technique is that the author
unconsciously has slipped from the viewpoint of a writer of a story
to that of a reader. Now a reader without intention to try his own
hand at the game is not playing fair in studying technique, and a
book on technique has no business to entertain him. Accordingly, I
have striven to keep to the viewpoint of one who seeks to learn how
to write stories, and have made no attempt to analyze the work of
masters of fiction for the sake of the analysis alone...Get Your

Health care quality and its affordability have become very pressing
issues in the United States. All sectors of the country are
attempting to push forward initiatives that will improve the health
care system as well as the health of the American population in
general. Despite the economical dedication to health care, about
1/5, the system remains uneven and fragmented, patient harm is
quite common, care is often uncoordinated, and many more mishaps
occur. There exists many obstacles to improve the nation's health
care system; these include the capacity to reliably and
consistently measure progress. In 2006 the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) established the Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven
Health Care which has since accelerated the development of a
learning health system- one in which science, informatics,
incentives, and culture are aligned to create a continuous learning
loop. This learning loop would thus help make the health care
system better. In response, the IOM organized a 2-day workshop to
explore in depth the core measurement needs for population health,
health care quality, and health care costs. The workshop hoped to
gain a full understanding of how to improve the nation's
measurement capacity to track progress in the health care system.
Having this knowledge would help the nation get one step closer to
the creation of an efficient learning loop. The workshop was
divided into a series of sessions that focused on different aspects
of measurement. Core Measurement Needs for Better Care, Better
Health, and Lower Costs: Counting What Counts: Workshop Summary
includes explanations and key details for these sessions: Vision,
Current Measurement Capabilities, Specifying the Shape of a Core
Metric Set, and Implementation. The report also features common
themes within these areas, the workshop agenda, and information
about those involved. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction
