Black political participation in Boston, Mass, is compared to that in the West Midlands region in England to illustrate community political environments in the two countries. Important similarities exist, particularly with regard to the way in which even militant leaders cooperate with centrally funded community agencies & moderate their demands to gain political & economic returns for their organizations from government. However, there are also structural differences between US & British community bodies that affect their success in obtaining the allegiance of community militants & in more fully integrating moderate leaderships into local-level participatory processes. In the US, the system encourages an apparently high degree of voluntarism & independence from direct central control through relative institutional autonomy. In GB, the more centralized community relations framework, with its closer direct association with government & the white power structure, is less conducive to group cooperation. US groups are actually more effectively integrated than the British into governmentally funded institutions. 2 Tables, 49 References. Modified HA.

"This book is a resource for providers and students, integrating germane basic science information with clinical-medicine insights. The goal is to improve primary-care outpatient interactions for physicians, APRNs, and PAs. It is unique, integrating germane basic-science information with clinical-medicine. Unlike other resources that introduce these concepts more distinctly, this book bridges the gap and provides insights for providers and students. Also, there are succinct, yet comprehensive, presentations on managing the more common out-patient problems. The book is designed for primary care providers and students, e.g., physicians, APRNs, and PAs, who desire to improve their patient-education, diagnostic, and treatment skills. The PEARLS are instruments to embellish and emphasize important concepts. The focus of the book is to improve outpatient medicine delivery, and better informed and confident providers are keys to the process"--

In this ambitious interdisciplinary study, James B. Jacobs provides the first comprehensive review and analysis of America's drunk driving problem and of America's anti-drunk driving policies and jurisprudence. In a clear and accessible style, he considers what has been learned, what is being done, and what constitutional limits exist to the control and enforcement of drunk driving.

Few schisms in American life run as deep or as wide as the divide between gun rights and gun control advocates. Awash in sound and symbol, the gun regulation debate has largely been defined by forceful rhetoric rather than substantive action. Politicians shroud themselves in talk ofindividual rights or public safety while lobbyists on both sides make doom-and-gloom pronouncements on the consequences of potential shifts in the status quo.In America today there are between 250 and 300 million firearms in private hands, amounting to one weapon for every American. Two in five American homes house guns. On the one hand, most gun owners are law-abiding citizens who believe they have a constitutional right to bear arms. On the other, agreat many people believe gun control to be our best chance at reducing violent crime. While few--whether gun owner or anti-gun advocate--dispute the need to keep guns out of the wrong hands, the most important question has too often been dodged: What gun control options does the most heavily armeddemocracy in the world have? Can gun control really work?The last decade has seen several watersheds in the debate, none more important than the 1993 Brady Bill. That bill, James B. Jacobs argues, was the culmination of a strategy in place since the 1930s to permit widespread private ownership of guns while curtailing illegal use. But where do we go fromhere? While the Brady background check is easily circumvented, any further attempts to extend gun control--for instance, through comprehensive licensing of all gun owners and registration of all guns--would pose monumental administrative burdens. Jacobs moves beyond easy slogans and broad-brushideology to examine the on-the-ground practicalities of gun control, from mandatory safety locks to outright prohibition and disarmament. Casting aside ideology and abstractions, he cautions
