"This book, now in its second edition, is the first and most exhaustive text covering the still growing popularity of cold case investigations which locate perpetrators and free the innocent. The new edition adds approximately 80 pages of content, including material on clandestine graves and investigating cold gang cases. The book merges theory with practice through the use of case histories, photographs, illustrations and checklists that convey essential, fundamental concepts while providing a strong, practical basis for the investigative process."--Provided by publisher

There is increasing pressure in certain circles in the US to meet the growing problem of metropolitanization with a new executive branch in the federal Gov. It is argued that this is the usual way of attacking problems on the federal level whets they attain a certain size & complexity & that only with cabinet representation can cities & metropolitan areas receive the attention their problems demand. This would not be a wise action, however. A dept of Ur affairs is pol'ly unlikely & would be admin'ly unsound & functionally unnecessary. Attention to metropolitan problems is demanded on the federal level, but it should be the attention given to them by a staff, not a line, agency. A council on metropolitan areas, created in the Executive Office of the President, would be a preferable solution. IPSA.

"In one of the truly great classics of twentieth-century political economy, R.H. Tawney addresses the question of how religion has affected social and economic practices. He does this by a relentless tracking of the influence of religious thought on capitalist economy and ideology since the Middle Ages. In so doing he sheds light on why Christianity continues to exert a unique role in the marketplace. In so doing, the book offers an incisive analysis of the historical background of present morals and mores in Western culture. Religion and the Rise of Capitalism is even more pertinent now than when it first was published; for today it is clearer that the dividing line between spheres of religion and secular business is shifting, that economic interests and ethical considerations are no longer safely locked in separate compartments. By examining that period which saw the transition from medieval to modern theories of social organization, Tawney clarifies the most pressing problems of the end of the century. In tough, muscular, richly varied prose, he tells an absorbing and meaningful story. And in his new introduction, which may well be a classic in its own right, Adam Seligman details Tawney's entire background, the current status of social science thought on these large issues, and a comparative analysis of Tawney with Max Weber that will at once delight and inform readers of all kinds."--Provided by publisher.
