Ethnic minorities represent a growing percentage of the elderly population in the United States. Yet, the impact of aging on minority groups and subgroups has only been partially studied. Minorities, Aging and Health fills the gap and opens the debate on how to provide for the specific needs of an increasingly elderly population. Specific issues covered in this volume include: mortality and life expectancy; the incidence of chronic disease and disabilities; diet and nutrition; mental health; access to health services and long-term care; and public health-care policy.

Designing Community-Based Systems That Work

The CEO of a multicorporate health system argues that a single- payer health-care system would not work in the US because of traditional American values and consumer habits, rugged individualism, family structures, race, age, and cultural background. She advocates a reform of existing institutions. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

In 1943, a course in linear algebra did not yet exist as a standard part of the undergraduate curriculum. It would be another twenty years before that would become common. It is, however, easy to identify the defining features of that course in this volume. Start with the idea of solving linear systems; change the point of view to that of transformations on vector spaces; recognize similarity as an essential classifying principle; and catalogue the canonical forms (Jordan normal form) of the transformations. All of this is here but with a decided, old-fashioned, algebraic accent—there is only one figure in the entire text.

The Ethical Rationing of Health Care

In one form or another, health care now gets rationed. Not everything beneficial is done for every patient. For the individual the consequences are sometimes tragic. Rationing decisions thus raise a classic dilemma: how can we treat with dignity and genuine respect the person who gets short-changed by an efficient policy that seems best overall? Strong Medicine argues that we can, if those policies represent the hard trade-off preferences of patients controlling resources for their larger lives. Rationing is still strong medicine to swallow, but then it becomes what patients as well as the doctor ordered. Menzel develops this central idea and applies it to major issues of health policy and economics: the notion of pricing life, the long-run cost of prevention, measuring quality of life, imperiled newborns, adequate care for the poor, containing costs by market competition, malpractice suits, procuring organs for transplant, and dying expensively in old age. He provides a hard-hitting, critical philosophical discussion of these issues, in non-technical language accessible to a wide range of readers interested in policy questions the book takes up. The issues are fascinating, the arguments are careful, and the results often surprising.

Ellis Mount

The first edition of Ellis Mount's University Science and Engineering Libraries pioneered in this specialized branch of library service. This new edition covers all aspects of science and technical libraries at both colleges and universities. Problems and techniques of management, technical services, user services, collection management, and physical facilities are discussed in detail. More importantly, this edition has been thoroughly updated and includes greater emphasis on computer applications, networks, consortia, and the use of the latest technology. As part of the research for this second edition, the author visited campuses throughout the United States and Canada to study their libraries first hand. His experiences have enabled him to identify the latest trends and developments in the profession. Included in the text are layouts of several science-technical libraries and a chapter on facility planning. Selected references are found at the end of each chapter. A survey of librarians and users on sixteen campuses--a virtual state-of-the-art report on current practices in science-technical libraries--is included as an appendix.

This book is designed for the general reader, one who is concerned about how our federal government makes domestic policy. But it also is designed for those who, because of their work or interests, are concerned specifically about the making of national health policy and for students training for professions in or related to the health care field. The book examines the impact of federal policy upon the health care system, and why that policy is what it is. The focus of the book is on efforts over the past twenty years to begin a program of national health insurance (NHI), and on how and why those efforts have come to naught. But because the campaign for NHI is only the most visible aspect of national health policy, the book attempts to reach beyond to explore other major aspects of the making of that policy. The history of the federal involvement in delivering and supporting health care and related efforts is described as a way of giving a more detailed view of how federal policy has developed. The book also examines the impact that technological developments in the health care arena are having on national health policy and the problems that are on the horizon if the federal government continues to absorb the cost of very expensive care for a relatively small group of people, such as it does for those with kidney disease. It is a very touchy issue.

An Overview of Our Changing Environment, 2004/5

This is the second in the series of annual reports linked to the UNEP Global Environment Outlook (GEO) which seeks to bridge the gap between science and policy by reviewing major global and regional environmental issues and policy developments during the year 2004. It also considers emerging issues from scientific research, focusing on the role of good environmental management in minimising the emergence of infectious diseases, and the impact of changes in ocean salinity. It then goes on to present the most recent available data on changes in the global environment, including new indicators on air quality, marine protected areas and ozone protection. The report also includes a feature focusing on the cross-cutting issues of gender, poverty and the environment; as well giving an overview of the Indian Ocean tsunami and its initial impact.

With all the emphasis on atmospheric air pollution and efforts to control it, we forget that most of us spend much of our lives indoors where air quality is quite different and often much worse than that outdoors. Addresses the recent, rapid expansion of interest in indoor air quality and its contribution to total human exposure to air pollutants by presenting past and present developments and also the directions that the field seems to be taking.
