Spellbound

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dale, Anna, PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, An innocent summer holiday turns out to be anything but for Athene and her younger brother, Zach, when they find themselves caught up in a skirmish between two groups of gnome-like creatures: The Humble Gloam live above ground and get along with humans; the Low Gloam live below ground and despise everyone.

Government for the Future Cea 238unification Fragmentation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andersson, Ake E. / Harsman, B. / Quigley, J. M., PUBLISHER: Emerald Group Publishing, The aim of this volume is to encourage comparative explorations of the links between economic regionalism and government behaviour. At present, the relation between government and the economy is in a state of flux. In the old "developed" world, supranational organizations such as the EU and the WTO, are exerting more influence over economic life. Simultaneously, regional governments have emerged to provide public services to local populations. In some European countries, economic decision making is no longer in the power of the nation state, but has been transfered to international and local organizations. The papers in this volume have been contributed by a broad range of policy makers, journalists, and academics. Theories of the public sector are reviewed, restructured and extended, in order to cover the new spatial and dynamic situation. The volume provides historical and institutional perspectives on the public sector, and presents empirical case studies of the public sectors in Sweden, USA, Belgium, Malaysia, England and Singapore.

By Popular Demand

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gastil, John, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, John Gastil challenges conventional assumptions about public opinion, elections, and political expression in this persuasive treatise on how to revitalize the system of representative democracy in the United States. Gastil argues that American citizens have difficulty developing clear policy interests, seldom reject unrepresentative public officials, and lack a strong public voice. Our growing awareness of a flawed electoral system is causing increased public cynicism and apathy. The most popular reforms, however, will neither restore public trust nor improve representation. Term limits and campaign finance reforms will increase turnover, but they provide no mechanism for improved deliberation and accountability. Building on the success of citizen juries and deliberative polling, Gastil proposes improving our current process by convening randomly selected panels of citizens to deliberate for several days on ballot measures and candidates. Voters would learn about the judgments of these citizen panels through voting guides and possibly information printed on official ballots. The result would be a more representative government and a less cynical public. America has a long history of experimentation with electoral systems, and the proposals in "By Popular Demand" merit serious consideration and debate.

Indeed, individual contributions are overshadowed only by the overall quality of the volume.' -- Quality and Quantity, Vol 'This is an excellent collection of essays. They coalesce around an extremely important theme, and offer a good variety of approaches and applications. All are well written.

Public Health at the Crossroads: Achievements and Prospects

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beaglehole, Robert / Bonita, Ruth, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book, both an introduction to public health as a discipline and a critique of its development over recent times, reviews epidemiological and demographic trends internationally. It provides an overview of major health trends; a summary of the current state of the world's health; a review of recent estimates of the global burden of disease; and an examination of the pattern of modern epidemics, the impact of disability, and the causes of premature death in rich and poor countries alike.

The authors argue for an inclusive vision of public health based on the application in public policy of improved epidemiological understanding of the causes of disease.

Top Down Policy Making

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dye, Thomas R., PUBLISHER: CQ Press, In this brief, eye-opening work, Thomas R. Dye explodes the myth that public policy represents the "demands of people," and that the making of public policy flows upward from the masses. In reality, Dye argues, public policy in America, as in all nations, reflects the values, interests, and preferences of the governing elite."Top Down Policymaking" is a close examination of the process by which the nation's elite goes about making public policy. Focusing on the behind-the-scenes activities of money foundations, policy planning organizations, think tanks, political campaign contributors, special-interest groups, lobbyists, law firms, influence-peddlers, and the national news media, Dye concludes that public policy does not represent the "demands of people."The reality is that public policy is made from the top down.

Genuine Individuals and Genuine Communities: A Roycean

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kegley, Jacqueline Ann K., PUBLISHER: Vanderbilt University Press, A cogent blueprint for the development of a "public philosophy" that integrates shared principles and values into our troubled social structure and articulates a consensus vision of society's future. The continuing vitality of American thought stems, to a large extent, from the application of its historical roots embedded in contemporary problems and issues. Yet for some time the signal contributions of Josiah Royce () have been overlooked in the formulation and shaping of critical areas of public policy. In this brilliantly articulated new book, ethicist Jacquelyn Kegley carefully explicates and enlarges the scope of Roycean thought and shows that Royce's views on public philosophy have direct and valuable application to current social problems. Working from the assumption that issues of family, education, and health care are not merely exigent political tempests but areas of genuine, long-lasting concern, Kegley opens fresh perspectives on Royce's philosophy by introducing and applying his ideas to discussions of how we care for ourselves and our society today. She analyzes Roycean criteria that can be successfully used to nourish developmental stages within families, promote intellectual and social growth in schooling and scholarship, and sustain physical and mental well-being throughout the life cycle. "Genuine Individuals and Genuine Communities" should be a springboard for the reassessment of contemporary public policy and the reapplication of the American philosophical legacy to current issues and decisions. Kegley's work serves as a solid contribution both to public philosophy and to the continued vitality of American thought, and it extends the range of both.

Audiences for Public Television

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Frank, Ronald Edward, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Frank and Greenberg's book studies the audience for American public broadcasting. The authors segment this unique and frequently misunderstood audience into fourteen groups, each with its own interests and needs. All those who study or work in the media and are interested in the kinds of people who watch quality television will find much of use to them in both the methodology and the description of the audiences. '...the book should be of substantial interest to a wider audience than persons unilaterally concerned with the future of public television. It is a welcome addition to any library collection in survey research, mass communications research and policy, broadcasting research, and policy and marketing techniques.' --

Our Holy God and Sinful Man: Truths of the Tanakh

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Parry, Arthur E., PH.D. / Solganick, Harvey, PUBLISHER: iUniverse, What are the two basic truths of The Bible or the Tanach to the Jewish People? First, God is holy--He said so Himself (Leviticus ; Isaiah 6: 3). Secondly, God did not create sin- (Genesis ). Thus, Man was created innocent, but almost immediately broke the one commandment given to him in Genesis and, as a result, became a sinner, alienated from a holy God. God, however, provided for man to be reconciled through a substitute sacrifice, but all of substitutes were inadequate until the sacrifice promised in Isaiah came. Therefore, all men, of all faiths, can, through faith in God and in His sacrifice, participate in the blessing of God and His forgiveness forever.
