The present publication relating to peripheral nerve entrapment is an attempt to bring to the attention of physicians an easily readable source of information on this common class of disorders. Frequently encountered disturbances as well as the more obscure entrapments have been included in the volume. The book should have a wide distribution. Despite the neuro logical and neurosurgical orientation, there is much of value for or thopedists and specialists in peripheral vascular disease. There is much of benefit for the general practitioner, with considerable in formation for those in training. There have been relatively few texts published in this field. The material has been organized to give the maximum pertinent infor mation in an easily read and concise arrangement. The various fac tors have been listed with a discussion of therapy. Included is an appendix describing specific methods for testing the function of the individual muscles, and tables for rapid evaluation of individual symptoms. The work is the result of lengthy personal experience and an extensive review of the literature. To make further study attainable, selected references have been cited following each section. Illustra tions have been employed where they could further understanding of the problem involved. Oscar A. Turner Norman Taslitz Steven Ward v Acknowledgments A publication such as this one cannot be the result of a single in dividual's work, and as such, one must acknowledge the help and support of those who were involved in the final preparation.

Every Child Matters represents the most radical change to education and welfare provision in almost two decades. This book moves beyond a descriptive how to framework to examine the underlying political and social aims of this policy agenda.

The authors analysis reveals that Every Child Matters represents the Government s attempt to codify perceived risks in society and to formulate their responses. In doing so, children are made the strategic focus of much wider social policy reform, the effects of which are first felt in education. Does Every Child Matter? explores the ramifications of this along three key lines of analysis:

• the restructuring of the state beyond its welfare functions
• changes in governance and the creation of new binaries
• a redefining of the education sector around the needs of the child.

This book provides a unique and insightful critique of Every Child Matters and its contribution to understandings of New Labour social policy. It locates the genesis of the policy in terms of its social, political and historical contexts and questions the validity of constructing social policy around issues of child welfare. Students, academics and researchers in education studies and education policy will find this book of great interest.

This book is a cross-national analysis of the role of the internet in national electoral campaigns. It covers an array of electoral and party systems throughout the globe from parliamentary to presidential, party-based to candidate-oriented, multi-party to two-party, and stable party system to dynamic party system. It takes a look at three groups of nations with varying levels of Internet access_those where internet usage is common across demographic groups, those where usage has reached significant levels but not widespread penetration, and those where internet access is still limited to a small elite. Each chapter is a study of a particular nation, focusing on its electoral and party systems, the accessibility of the Internet to the population, the nature of candidate/party usage, and the effects of the internet on the conduct of campaigns. By reviewing the findings from these studies, Making a Difference draws conclusions about exactly how the internet influences electoral politics.
