Encyclopedia of Epidemiology
Presents information from the field of epidemiology in a less technical, more accessible format. Covers major topics in epidemiology, from risk ratios to case-control studies to mediating and moderating variables, and more. Relevant topics from related fields such as biostatistics and health economics are also included.
Implementing Planned Markets in Health Care
Presents a variety of perspectives on the accomplishments and dilemmas of planned markets for medical care either implemented or proposed in Britain, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Austria, and the US, primarily considering the broad conceptual notions that underlie them. Empirically and conceptually reviews the political issues in designing and introducing a system of contracted medical services, the trade-offs between incentives and accountability to increase efficiency, and the practical challenges of constructing entrepreneurial providers. The 11 papers are revised from presentations at a September 1993 workshop in Stockholm. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Moving Past Marriage
A must-read for anyone who has felt they are at a disadvantage simply because they are single or unmarried. Married Americans enjoy over 1,000 benefits and entitlements that are withheld from our non-marital counterparts. Health insurance, immigration rights, tax privileges (such as the estate tax), and hiring policies favor the married. Marriage is subsidized and incentivized by the federal government. Social customs such as blockbuster weddings, subsidized honeymoons, and gifts reserved for wedded couples reify matrimony as a centering norm and further the idea that "marriage is best," a commonplace in popular psychology, where marriage-averse people are often tarred as "commitment-phobes....
Health Care Reform
This book provides an up-to-date review and analysis of health care reform in five countries: Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. It reviews the experience of introducing competition into the health service as well as policies to strengthen management and change methods of paying hospitals and doctors. The experience of each country is described by experts from the countries concerned. In this lucid introduction, Chris Ham sets out the context of reform, and in the conclusion identifies the emerging lessons. The book provides an authoritative introduction to health care reform in Europe and North America at a time of increasing political and public interest in this field. It has been designed for students of social policy and the full range of health service practitioners on courses of professional training.

Ao Alcance Da Morte: Ensaio Sobre O Estado Psicológico Dos Soldados Da Feb Na Segunda Guerra Mundial
O livro trata sobre o estado psicológico dos soldados que compuseram a Força Expedicionária Brasileira, na luta contra o nazifascismo, na Segunda Guerra Mundial, narrando desde sua preparação, ainda no Brasil, até o pós-conflito. Na obra estão reunidas referências bibliográficas e relatos que mostram o estado contínuo de tensão, violência e medo, que a guerra causa à natureza humana. Também é um recorte de como a Pátria deixou desamparados seus filhos nos anos que se seguiram à vitória aliada. Em suma, é um registro de como aqueles jovens de outrora estiveram ao alcance da morte.
