The Parents' Perspective
By concentrating on the parents, who usually bring the youth into the legal or mental health system, the book provides numerous unique insights into the nature of problems among urban youths. It describes how certain legal and psychological problems often coexist, examines the reasons for these problems, and shows how this knowledge can be used to improve the delivery of youth and family services. Based on an extensive study of the parents of youth in trouble, this book describes and analyzes how urban parents view the problems of their adolescent children, and how they have tried to cope with and to seek help for them.

Numerous books have been published about battles to save the redwoods, particularly during the California ...
Mass Media
Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.
