Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is a formidable book, one that cuts against the Trump exceptionalism that suffuses much mainstream liberal discourse." * Boston Review *“An incisive history of kidnapping as American policy. . . . Connects these into a seamless tale of torment, torture and arrogance; a description of US history if there ever was one. It is a history that demands a reckoning.” * CounterPunch *“A forceful and captivating book that readers won’t be able to put down, and that listeners from all sort of backgrounds will definitely want to hear more about.” * New Books Network *Briggs . . . recounts outrages that are only a few decades old. Resurrecting this forgotten history, she demonstrates its continuity with the recent separation of migrant families.” * Reason *“A meticulously-researched, humane, and highly readable work of scholarship. . . . Essential reading for all those with an interest in human rights, social justice issues, child welfare, immigration and American history. It should inspire a generation to challenge and resist the cruel practice of taking children for political ends.” * Ethnic and Racial Studies *"A wide- ranging and uncomfortably revealing account of what might be called the tradition of family separation." * New York Review of Books *"Briggs’ storytelling style in this incisive and well-researched text will keep readers engaged and moving quickly through its pages. . . .Taking Children is an important read for social work students considering a career in child welfare or family services and for professionals and lawmakers interested in movements to reform systems that have historically served to control and police the behavior of individuals and communities of color." * Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work *"Taking Children serves as a powerful manifesto. . . .to promote greater solidarity and activism among many different groups that have been so unjustly targeted for child removal." * Native American and Indigenous Studies Journal *"Briggs’ sympathy is clear. . . . A useful background resource for courses on immigration issues." * Religious Studies Review *"Taking Children[’s]… accessible and engaging language would serve undergraduate gender and women’s studies classes well. Pedagogical discussions inspired by this book might explore historical memory and mythmaking, grassroots activism, and the symbolic significance of children in the American imagination." * Resources for Gender and Women's Studies *Table of ContentsIntroduction: American Amnesia 1.

Book SynopsisThe nature of the British Welfare State, established in the 1940s through the acceptance of the Beveridge Report''s recommendations and assumption, has long been the subject of an inconclusive debate, even though knowledge of its history has increased as official papers have become open to access under the thirty year rule. What aims, interests and forces shaped its development before and after the Beveridge Report''s appearance, from the Liberal innovations in social policy before 1914 to the collapse of full employment in the 1970s? This book examines the answers to such questions provided by recent historical research and discussion, offering a critical and comprehensive study of the modernization of social policy in Britain.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1. The Welfare State: Definition and Interpretation. The Problems of Definition. Problems of Interpretation. 2. The Plan for Social Security. Beveridge's Recommendations and their Acceptance. The Prewar Reform Agenda. From the 1946 Act to the Fowler Review. 3. Beveridge's Assumptions. The Plan in Context. Full Employment. The National Health Service. Family Allowances. 4.

Book SynopsisExamines the development of social rented housing over the years in Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and the USA. This work shows how social housing policies and outcomes have been shaped by broader societal forces - political conflict, economic modernisation, and, also the growth of inequality and social polarization.Trade Review"This book presents the most authoritative comparative account of the origins of social rented housing and its subsequent development. By setting housing development. By setting housing developments in the context of historical changes in economies, politics and the development of the welfare state, it provides an important contribution to key debates in housing and social policy. The result is a text which is likely to be a key reference for those seeking to analyse and understand the housing situation and influences on its change." Alan Murie, Heriot-Watt University "Michael Harloe's review of social rented housing in six countries draws on research extending over 20 years. It will be welcomed by all students of housing and social policies." David Donnison, University of Glasgow "This book deserves to be acclaimed on at least two counts. It offers a penetrating explanation and not just a descriptive account of the developments of social rented housing in capitalist countries and therefore provides a much needed-basis for the evaluation, or introduction of new policies. Its coverage of international evidence is without peer, and it will be a source of inspiration to scholars and housing directorates for many years to come. But the book is also a major sociological contribution to the understanding of social policy in general. Housing has always been the odd man out in the apparatus of the national welfare state and has not always been given sufficient priority in accounts of social change. Michael Harloe places housing at the centre of public and scientific attention and this is bound to change a lot of ideas about the present welfare state. With the international breadth of his approach Michael Harloe shows what sociologists can do for the understanding of social policy - and perhaps therefore lay the basis for the construction of an international welfare state. Covering a wide range of international evidence the book is a tightly controlled theoretical exposition of social rented housing within general social policy. It is a formidable achievement." Peter Townsend, University of Bristol "This book is the boldest comparative study of housing policies I have ever read, and of a kind we all were waiting for. Detailed first-hand findings fit remarkably well in broad, analytical perspectives. Michael Harloe offers us both an account and an epic of the welfare state in that field, its premises and promises, its fulfillments and shortcomings, its looming demise." Christian Topalov, Harvard University "This is the closest thing to a definitive study of social rented housing in advanced capitalist countries currently available, and I do not expect it to be superseded for many years to come."

It explores aspects of social exclusion and the measures taken to reduce its impact from the perspectives of criminology and social policy."

It also looks at the prospects for personal social services.Trade Review"The writing is accessible, well balanced and up to date student texts is a difficult task, of which in the field of social policy Michael Hill is the incomparable past-master. Here he has spotted a gap in the market, the lack of a book covering all the manifold and rather baggy activities performed by local authority social service departments...this is a timely book." --Tony Rees, University of Southampton "The strength of this book lies in the quality of analysis and its ability to capture and discuss critically the impact of the government's modernization agenda. It should have a place in all departmental libraries." -- Terry Bamford, Community Care "This book is unique in providing a clear framework for understanding the relationship between social policy and social services, and the complex structures and roles of the different organizations involved in the operation of social services ... It is one of the few texts that provide a clear picture of how to make sense of the bureaucratic organizational structures that surround social services ... in all the book is an important text for the social worker or student in understanding the relationship between social services, local authority and the central state."

Book SynopsisThere is ample evidence that disabled children are less valued members of society than able-bodied children. Child welfare practitioners are increasingly looking at not only the child''s impairment and suffering but also the child''s needs in a wider context--to be included as an equal member of society. Laura Middleton''s book aims to provide sound guidance for social workers, community carers, teachers and health visitors, and her book gives them a better understanding of the disabled child''s experiences and needs. She covers such key themes as discrimination, bullying, appeasement, abuse, communication issues, family support, and children''s rights. Methods for generating a better, more effective service for the child are fully explained and illustrated.Trade Review"This is a well-written and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of the ways in which disabled children are treated and marginalised in our society. It should be read by all those who work with children, as well as those who have an interest in disability generally." (Adoption & Fostering) "The strength of this book lies in its description of disabled children as active participants in society…This book makes a significant contribution to our knowledge about disabled children’s lives." (Health and Social Care in the Community) "The book makes for compulsive reading once begun and has a clarity of style which makes complex issues accessible. …I would recommend the book to lecturers, practitioners and students within the social care fields and to disabled individuals, their carers and groups who are eager to identify with the political debate which informs their social exclusion" (Child & Family Social Work) "Any book about disabled children that starts with the experience of disabled young people is doing something right." (Community Care) "It is particularly useful in making practical suggestions for more inclusive provision and will be an invaluable text for all childcare professionals." (Aslib Book Guide) "This excellent book is a courageous, cogent and challenging look at how to translate a social model of disability into action."

Book SynopsisChallenges how we think about the relationship between race, political parties, and American democracy. This book shows that not all groups are treated equally, and that politicians spend most of their time and resources on white swing voters - to the detriment of the African American community.Trade Review"The vast literature on American political parties has been immensely enriched and enhanced by this pioneering work on race and parties...This is a highly recommended work."--Hanes Walton, Jr., Political Science Quarterly "In a work that effectively challenges cherished notions of how the political system functions, Paul Frymer ... shows the centrality of race in the American political process. In addition, he makes a strong theoretical contribution to our analysis of the functioning of political parties in democratic regimes. Uneasy Alliances will be a valuable resource for scholars and students alike, for both its substantive arguments and its theoretical achievements."--Howard L. Reiter, American Political Science Review "Frymer makes a strong case that Democratic presidential candidates have distanced themselves from black voters and issues... The villain in the tale is the United States electoral structure, the two-party, winner-take-all system."--Sandra Featherman, Journal of Politics "Frymer argues that the failure to seriously address white racism's impact on the party system causes us to misunderstand how and why African Americans are and remain at the margins for reasons not related to their abilities and potential impact on the American political system."--ChoiceTable of ContentsList of Illustrations ix Acknowledgments xi Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisReveals the sources of Barack Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. This title traces the origins of his ideas and establishes him as the most penetrating political thinker elected to the presidency in the past century.Trade ReviewA National Public Radio (npr.org/blogs) Mara Liasson Best Book of the Year for 2010 "James Kloppenberg, one of America's foremost intellectual historians, persuasively argues that [there is] a broader shift in American philosophy away from appeal to general principles, valid at all times and in all places, toward a reliance on local, historically particular values and ideals. Kloppenberg's own endeavor, in surveying the work in political and legal theory that seems to have shaped President Obama's thinking, is to argue for the coherence, the Americanness, and the plausibility of Obama's approach to politics and to the Constitution."--Kwame Anthony Appiah, New York Review of Books "In short, Mr. Kloppenberg's brief intellectual biography of Mr. Obama provides an excellent portrait of the shining self-image of the progressive intellectual."--Peter Berkowitz, Wall Street Journal "Reading Obama is a welcome addition, not least because it is the first book to try to tease out a coherent political philosophy from the president. Kloppenberg, a prominent intellectual historian at Harvard, does this not by analyzing Obama's pre-presidential record or his campaign rhetoric or his policies but--like a senior professor sizing up a tenure aspirant--by reviewing Obama's published dossier. The chief works, of course, are Obama's best-selling books--his semi-fictional memoir, Dreams from My Father, and his campaign trial balloon, The Audacity of Hope; but Kloppenberg also draws on a passel of other writings and, most originally, on the issues of the Harvard Law Review over which Obama presided as editor in 1990. Pragmatism is a subject close to Kloppenberg's heart, and his expertise. Among his many learned writings on the subject are the landmark Uncertain Victory: Social Democracy and Progressivism in European and American Thought, 1870-1920, which appeared in 1986, and "Pragmatism: An Old Name for Some New Ways of Thinking?," a brilliant article in the Journal of American History in 1996, many of whose ideas resurface in his new work. With his breadth of knowledge and his simplicity of prose, Kloppenberg is a fine guide to these ideas. And lest we suspect that he is merely projecting a set of ideas he esteems onto a politician he admires--Obama, after all, has described himself as "a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views"--Kloppenberg is careful to elucidate the reasons for the happy congruence."--David Greenberg, New Republic Online "Kloppenberg has written an analysis of the intellectual influences that have shaped President Obama's world view. Those who find Obama puzzling need only study the books he read as a student, look at writings by his professors, and read his academic and autobiographical writings to understand what he thinks, why he thinks the way he does and how his presidency reflects the intellectual conclusions he has drawn from his education and life experiences. Obama impressed his law professors with his "exceptional intelligence' and "striking ability to resolve conflicts." As Kloppenberg explains, "his commitment to conciliation lies in his idea of democracy as deliberation, his sure grasp of philosophical pragmatism, his Christian realism and his sophisticated understanding that history, with all its ambiguities and ironies, provides the best rudder for political navigation. Reading Obama offers a fascinating view of the man Kloppenberg calls "the most penetrating political thinker elected to the presidency in the past century"--Newark Star-Ledger "One of Kloppenberg's most important claims is that Obama embodies the spirit of pragmatism--not the colloquial pragmatism that is more or less the same thing as practicality, but the philosophical pragmatism that emerged largely from William James and John Dewey and continued to flourish through the work of Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and others. Kloppenberg provides an excellent summary of the pragmatic tradition--a tradition rooted in the belief that there are no eternal truths, that all ideas and convictions must meet the test of usefulness... Kloppenberg is best when he analyzes Obama's own writing--Dreams from My Father, The Audacity of Hope, and some of his memorable speeches. He gives an excellent analysis of Obama's views of Lincoln and of the ways in which he has come to terms with race."--Alan Brinkley, Democracy "This is an assessment of Obama that will make sense to those who championed his rise to the presidency but who now have reservations about the way he is executing the role. The case Kloppenberg makes is persuasive and, for anyone interested in the larger context of Obama's thinking, he demonstrates that this serious man is a rarity."--Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald "This is a fascinating book, not just because it deals with the current president of the United States, but also because it explores the development of modern political philosophy and tries to establish direct links between it and the political performance of Obama."--Alan Dobson, LSE Politics and Policy blog "In his excellent book Reading Obama, James Kloppenberg offers a broad and deep interpretation of the education of Obama from 1961 to 2004."--Anglican Theological ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction ix Chapter 1: The Education of Barack Obama 1 Chapter 2: From Universalism to Particularism 85 Chapter 3: Obama's American History 151 Conclusion: Dreams, Hope, and the American Political Tradition 249 Essay on Sources 267 Acknowledgments 287 Index 293

Book SynopsisUncovers the story of the Tape family in post-gold rush, racially explosive San Francisco.

Book SynopsisTraces the origins of the "illegal alien" in American law and society, explaining why and how illegal migration became the central problem in US immigration policy - a process that profoundly shaped ideas and practices about citizenship, race, and state authority in the twentieth century.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2005 Lora Romero First Book Publication Prize, American Studies Association Winner of the 2005 Frederick Jackson Turner Award, Organization of American Historians Honorable Mention for the 2005 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award, Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights Co-Winner of the 2004 History Book Award, Association for Asian American Studies Co-Winner of the 2004 First Book Prize, Berkshire Conference of Women Historians Winner of the 2004 Littleton-Griswold Prize, American Historical Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2004 Winner of the 2004 Theodore Saloutos Book Award, Immigration and Ethnic History Society "[A] deeply stimulating work... Ngai's undeniable premise--as pertinent today as ever--is that the lawfully regulated part of our immigration system is only the tip of the iceberg. Even as we have allowed legal immigrants, mostly from Europe, through the front door, we have always permitted others, generally people of color, to slip in the back gate to do essential jobs."--Tamar Jacoby, Los Angeles Times Book Review "'Legal' and 'illegal,' as Ngai's book illustrates, are administrative constructions, always subject to change; they do not tell us anything about the desirability of the persons so constructed."--Louis Menand, New Yorker "Ngai pulls no punches, arguing that in most cases ... illegal [immigrants] were stigmatized by negative racial stereotypes and branded as dangerous... [I]t belongs in every library and should be referenced in every ethnic studies course."--Choice "May Impossible Subjects indeed lead to bold changes? Ngai creates that possibility, through altering our vision of immigration history, in showing us the constructed and contingent nature of its legal regulation. Impossible Subjects is essential reading."--Leti Volpp, Michigan Law Review "Ngai's book is a stunning piece of scholarship... [F]or background reading of 'illegal immigration' that takes a broader view, this is an outstanding book."--David M. Reimers, International History Review "Ngai has produced a valuable reinterpretation of twentieth-century American immigration history, one that will push other scholars of race, immigration, and policy in new directions as well."--Charlotte Brooks, Journal of American History "Impossible Subjects offers an important contribution to U.S. histories of race, citizenship, and immigration. This stunning history of U.S. immigration policy dispels the liberal rhetoric that underlies popular notions of immigrant America, as it establishes the designation of Asians and Mexicans as perpetual racial others. Everyone in the field of race and immigration should read this thought provoking book."--Rhacel Salazar Parrenas, American Journal of Sociology "This superb book by historian Mae Ngai addresses the emergence of the legal and social category of 'illegal immigrant' in the United States... Ngai addresses the subject ... in a variety of historical contexts and each casts a different light on their deeply ambiguous condition."--Linda Bosniak, Journal of International Migration and Integration "Moving beyond the telos of immigrant settlement, assimilation, and citizenship and the myth of 'immigrant America,' Mae Ngai's Impossible Subjects conceptualizes immigration not as a site for assessing the acceptability of the immigrants, but as a site for understanding the racialized economic, cultural, and political foundations of the United States."--Yen Le Espiritu, Western Historical Quarterly "Mae Ngai's book ... offers a fascinating reinterpretation and critique of the United States as a mythicized 'nation of immigrants.' Ngai demonstrates the critical role that colonialism, foreign policy considerations and racial politics played in shaping U.S. immigration and national identity...

Book SynopsisFaith in the Fight tells a story of religion, soldiering, suffering, and death in the Great War. Recovering the thoughts and experiences of American troops, nurses, and aid workers through their letters, diaries, and memoirs, Jonathan Ebel describes how religion--primarily Christianity--encouraged these young men and women to fight and die, sustainTrade Review"With a dizzying array of interesting points, Ebel provides a list of new avenues of study... Faith in the Fight is an impressive book that all scholars of twentieth-century American religious history should read and that should be incorporated in all subsequent studies of WWI."--Paul Harvey, Religion in American History blog "Perhaps no word is more deeply associated with World War I than 'disillusionment.' In the compulsive attempts of the second half of the 20th century to tell secularization narratives, one prominent version had religious faith never recovering from the shell-shock it got in the trenches, 1914-18. Jonathan H. Ebel, in his well-researched and persuasively revisionist study Faith in the Fight, convincingly demonstrates that this loss-of-faith story is wrong, at least for Americans."--Books & Culture "One of Faith in the Fight's great strengths is its attention to the voices of the men and women on the front lines... Faith in the Fight helps us better understand the relationship between religion and war in the not-so-distant American past. It is also a book that illustrates the dangers inherent in the American penchant for sanctifying state violence. As Ebel masterfully demonstrates, Americans would do well to abandon a little of their faith in the fight."--Matthew Avery Sutton, Christian Century "Faith in the Fight illustrates the benefit of revisiting our current tidy categories of religion's decline in the face of modernity and secularism, and its readers are rewarded with a well written and fascinating glimpse of American soldiers and war workers' religious romanticism."--Sarah Miglio, Journal of Church and State "[W]ith his well-written and well-researched book ... Jonathan H. Ebel ... has made a stellar contribution to the interdisciplinary study of religion in American history."--Malcolm D. Magee, American History Review "Ebel's first book, which helps fill the vast empty spaces of American religious historiography, is a truly fine work that displays expert research and storytelling abilities... We should look forward to more of Ebel's work. His book on 'trench religion' will become the standard book on religious faith of the forgotten men and women during the forgotten war."--Matthew Lewis Sutton, Journal of Church History "Ebel has written an excellent book that deserves a wide readership... [T]he book is an excellent fit for graduate seminars and should interest scholars looking at the specific period or religion and war in general."--Steve Longenecker, Journal of American History "Faith in the Fight represents a valuable addition to the growing body of literature on the American experience of the Great War."--Edward Madigan, Religion, State and Society "Faith in the Fight raises interesting questions about American culture and life, and it offers some valid insights into that culture."--Fred R. van Hartesveldt, Anglican and Episcopal History Reviews "Faith in the Fight contributes a well researched and written addition to the understanding of a war that many Americans relegate to secondary or tertiary status... As we approach the World War I centennial, this is a masterful work that should reignite historiographical interest in this vital event in the nation's history."--David E.

Book SynopsisHistories investigating U.S. immigration have often portrayed America as a domestic melting pot, merging together those who arrive on its shores. Yet this is not a truly accurate depiction of the nation's complex connections to immigration. Offering a brand-new global history of the subject, Foreign Relations takes a comprehensive look at the linksTrade ReviewWinner of the 2013 Theodore Saloutos Memorial Book Award, Immigration and Ethnic History Society "Gabaccia's book is a rare treat for immigration scholars. She takes the hackneyed idea that U.S. immigration policy reflects U.S. domestic policy exclusively and turns it on its head, demanding that readers reframe immigration debates as U.S. foreign relations and, more specifically, trade relations... The book would be an excellent teaching tool to explain how to challenge what scholars assume that they know."--Choice "By deftly weaving the stories of individuals and families into her discussion--not so much as illustrations of a generalized story as the basic elements of this story--Gabaccia has opened new windows onto the history of American immigration."--Orm Overland, Journal of American History "[T]he book's expansive connections and extensive research signal its author as an impressive senior scholar in the field."--Deborah Cohen, Diplomatic History "[T]he book is an excellent summary of U.S. migration history (for which Gabaccia's strength is well known) and a courageous, insightful exploration of America's international history.

Book SynopsisIn recent years, the study of American political history has experienced a remarkable renaissance. After decades during which the subject fell out of fashion and disappeared from public view, it has returned to prominence as the study of American history has shifted its focus back to politics broadly defined. In this book, one of the leaders of theTrade Review"Zelizer's essays give the reader a good grasp of the ways that politics has unfolded over the past half century. And the range of topics gives a good sense of where the field lies at this point. The scholarship is impeccable, the sources appropriate, and the tone scholarly without being pedantic. As this collection of Zelizer's finest work indicates, the discipline of history still has room for political history."--John H. Barnhill, Canadian Journal of History "This exhilarating volume deserves a broad readership. It is first and foremost invaluable to graduate students and historians exploring new approaches to American political history. Secondly, it reveals to political scientists the worth of political history, beyond furnishing the raw data for political analysis. Thirdly, it suggests ways in which public historians and policymakers might collaborate in policymaking. Finally, the essays are accessible enough to appeal to the general reader interested in the historical development of modern American politics. Above all, Zelizer's work exemplifies and validates historians' rediscovery of the importance of American politics, albeit more broadly defined than before, as well as vindicates political scientists' recent and continued interest in American history."--Eleanor Thompson, LSE Politics and Policy blog "Governing America: The Revival of Political History is an important instrument to any person hoping to gain a better understanding of the revaluation of political history and the negotiation of the current political landscape of the United States.

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Since 2004, Ruth Lister’s book has been the definitive text on poverty. This new edition is destined to replace the first as a must-have volume for anyone interested in social policy, and to become the go-to source whenever poverty is discussed.”Robert Walker, Beijing Normal University and University of Oxford “Ruth Lister offers a rare combination of great professional expertise and moral authority and an abiding commitment to ways of tackling poverty effectively. The result is a highly readable and unusually insightful book about shaping a decent and compassionate society.”Philip Alston, former UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights“For anyone who has an interest in understanding and tackling poverty be they a community worker, social worker, youth worker, think tank policy wonk, academics, local councillor or MP, this is an essential, comprehensive and rewarding read. I highly recommend that, along with putting regular shifts in at your local food bank, you find the time to purchase a copy and read it.”vulnerability360.org.uk“This book shows that even while political, media and popular discourses and attitudes can be deeply dehumanising, they can also heal and empower.”ATD Fourth World UK“Lister's book offers vital insight into how poverty is actually experienced. [… She] discusses redistribution of resources to address the material aspects of poverty, and recognition and respect to address the non‐material aspects of poverty so powerfully described in this important book.”Child Poverty Action Group“The first edition of Poverty has been a, if not the, key text on poverty since 2004; this new edition is likely to replace the first on the bookshelves of scholars, policy makers and practitioners concerned about poverty.”Sociology“There can be no doubting Lister’s expertise in or commitment to her area of study. … for anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of the state of poverty studies at the start of the 2020s it is both an essential and engaging read. It will undoubtedly be lifted off the shelf as a first point of reference on many future occasions.”Journal of Social Security LawTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1. Defining Poverty Chapter 2.

Book SynopsisHealth communication is key to promoting good population and individual health outcomes. As the field has developed, there is a growing need for a critical appraisal of the ideologies and theories underpinning health communication in order to ensure effective practice. This book clearly situates health communication within its social context. It provides a critical overview of three key disciplinary areas education, psychology and communication. Drawing on international examples throughout, the book challenges the underlying assumptions that drive the design and delivery of health promotion interventions. The authors argue that health communication is inherently political and pay close attention to issues of power, ethics and inequality throughout the text.This book will be valuable for those students at all levels who require a critical perspective, as well as practitioners in health communication and health promotion. With reference to detailed examples anTrade Review"This text provides the reader with a clear background to communication theories, models of communication, and education theory as well as an examination of key theoretical themes and perspectives on health communication. With the inclusion of discussions around new and emerging social media as well as social marketing techniques, Health Communication offers much to students as well as those working in health today."—Dr Ranjit Khutan, University of Wolverhampton"This is an original and good quality contribution to the literature. The authors are setting an important and new critical agenda, drawing together contributions from a variety of disciplines. The clear focus on the social construction of health and health related decision making encourages critical analysis of many of the 'taken for granted' assumptions about how to communicate successfully with people about health."—Dr Paul Reid, University of Central LancashireTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Part 1: Theoretical Perspectives Chapter 1: Introduction to Health Communication: Theoretical and Critical Perspectives Chapter 2: Communication Theory Chapter 3: Educational Theory Part 2: Key Topics Chapter 4: Psychological Theory Chapter 5: Methods and Media Chapter 6: Social Marketing Chapter 7: Health Literacy Part 3: Issues and Challenges Chapter 8: Challenges in Health Communication and Behaviour Change Chapter 9: The Politics of Health Communication and Behaviour Change Chapter 10: Looking to the Future References Index

Book SynopsisAs health care becomes more common in communities, health systems reorganize both their business practices and their patient care practices. This book explains best practices in patient care restructuring, also called "clinical integration".Trade Review"Tonges' book should be required reading in all health careadministration programs. Under one cover, this dynamic,up-to-the-moment book shows how clinical integration can and mustbe achieved in today's managed care environment." --Barbara Barnum,RN, Ph.D., FAAN, professor of clinicalnursing, Columbia UniversitySchool of Nursing "Every biochemical system has a rate limiting reaction. In the caseof clinical integration, the limitations come from the vagaries ofphysician culture and the lack of a unified information system.Tonges and her colleagues in their new book provide us with all thenecessary enzymes to speed this rate limiting reaction along. Mostintegrated delivery systems want us to believe that they haveovercome these limitations and created a clinically integratedenterprise. The contributors to this volume know what a canard thisis, and the distillation of their observations, insights, advice,and case studies will help even the most incredulous physicianbelieve in clinical integration.
