Malingering and Illness Deception

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Despite a rich and turbulent history spanning several centuries, malingering continues to be a controversial and neglected clinical condition that has significant implications for medical, social, legal and insurance interests. Estimates of malingering - the wilful, intentional attempt to simulate or exaggerate illness in the pursuit of a consciously desired end - vary greatly, despite the fact that malingering is believed to contribute substantially to fraudulent health care and social welfare costs.
There is little consensus about what would constitute a coherent assessment of malingering, and base rates have been difficult to establish. Malingering remains a difficult attribution to make not least since it falls outside the remit of the formal psychiatric classifications. Labelling a person as a malingerer however, has significant medico-legal, personal and economic ramifications for both subject and accuser. Viewed in this way, malingering is not so much illness behavior in search of a disease, as the manifestation of a conflict between personal and social values.
The aim of this book is to effect an integration of the different medical, forensic, neuropsychological, legal and social perspectives. The book provides an overview of progress in disparate fields relevant to the subject, including how recent social and neuroscience findings regarding volition, intentional states and theory of mind may have implications for informing detection, management and ultimately its explanation.

Flooding the Courtrooms: Law and Water in the Far West (Law in the American West)

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
This legal biography of the California cattle company Miller & Lux illuminates the relationship between law, economic change, and the distribution of wealth and power. It examines law in an environment undergoing rapid development, where the rules governing resources, especially water, were in contention. From the 1870s through the 1930s, Miller & Lux looked to the law to mediate its place amid change. This entailed the hiring of corporate counsel, a new concept for late-nineteenth-century America, and the creative development and use of new legal doctrines. The actions of its lawyers and managers and those of the opponents and judges it faced reveal the complex, dialectical interplay between legal and economic power.
Impressively researched from a labyrinth of primary source, Flooding the Courtrooms is an absorbing history of Miller & Lux and its influence in the shaping of the West.

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance is an annual series of volumes that publishes scholarly work in criminology and criminal justice studies, sociology of law, and the sociology of deviance and social control. These are very broad topics, and the series reflects this breadth. The series includes theoretical contributions, critical reviews of literature, empirical research, and methodological innovations. The series especially showcases "big picture" pieces that review and critically reconceptualize what is known and what remains to be understood about broad directions of research and theorizing about crime, justice, law, deviance, and social control. In addition, the series showcases a diversity of methodological approaches.
Volume 2 demonstrates such methodological diversity by presenting quantitative studies, ethnographies and discourse analyses. Through an application of these methodologies, the authors examine sanctions, crime and fear and legal and social control organizations and processes. The volume concludes with four chapters contributing to theory development.

Product Description:
This book presents a study of co-offending relations among youths under 21 suspected of criminal offenses in Stockholm during 1991-1995. In total, the study includes just over 22,000 individuals suspected of around 29,000 offenses. Jerzy Sarnecki employs the method of network analysis that makes it possible to study the ties, social bonds, interactions, differential associations and connections that are central to many of the sociologically oriented theories on the etiology of crime. Up to now, network analysis had been used only rarely in the criminological context.

Dispute Settlement in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law)

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is one of the most important constitutive instruments in international law. Not only does this treaty regulate the uses of the world's largest resource, but it also contains a mandatory dispute settlement system - an unusual phenomenon in international law. While some scholars have lauded this development as a significant achievement, others have been highly skeptical of its comprehensiveness and effectiveness. This book explores whether a compulsory dispute settlement mechanism is necessary for the regulation of the oceans under the Convention. The requisite role of dispute settlement in the Convention is determined through an assessment of its relationship to the substantive provisions. Klein firstly describes the dispute settlement procedure in the Convention. She then takes each of the issue areas subject to limitations or exceptions to compulsory procedures entailing binding decisions, and analyzes the inter-relationship between the substantive and procedural rules.

Product Description:
Mitchell's new study uses Tocqueville's Democracy in America to study the condition of democracy in the United States in our own time. First, he addresses tensions in the United States between ideas of equality and the American political system. He then turns to the relationship between this system and American capitalism, and analyzes inclusion and exclusion in American life. Finally, he asks whether Americans have surrendered to what Tocqueville called the materialization of life, and have abandoned their original quest and become radically alienated from politics.

Product Description:
The acts of lawlessness committed on September 11, 2001 have been followed by a 'war on terror'. This book considers the law relevant to assessing how such terrorist' acts should be understood in legal terms, which responses to them are permissible and how those responses are to be pursued. It considers some of the actions that have unfolded since 9/11 (military intervention, law enforcement initiatives, human rights restrictions and abuse) prompting questions as to the 'war on terror's lawfulness. The volume clearly designates areas of international law where interest has escalated beyond traditional academic legal circles.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:0714684031
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780714684031
Binding:Paperback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
What special vulnerabilities does the world of the 21st century have to terrorist attacks? What kind of role does the United States see itself playing as the world's only superpower in the coming decades? How should we now characterize the conduct of the US foreign policy? Answers to such questions are perhaps not much clearer now than they were immediately after the attacks, but one of the more positive effects of these attacks has been to stimulate much serious discussion about them, and thus about the place of violence about changing forms of warfare, about different forms of terror, and about challenges to prevailing accounts of the legitimacy of violence in contemporary political life in the context of emerging and in many respects dangerously unstable structures of power and authority on a global scale.
These essays do not constitute a unified perspective on what happened on 11 September 2001, and the US response to it. They are perhaps most usefully read as an experiment in writing contemporary history as it evolves. Some essays contradict others, some are quite specific, and others generalize very broadly. They all affirm, however, that there is no simple answer to difficult questions around the recent events, only a complex braid of explanatory factors that have yet to be fully evaluated.

A Bird in the Bush: Failed Domestic Policies of the George W. Bush Administration

Publisher:Algora Publishing
Number Of Pages:228
Publication Date:2005-05-31
ISBN-10 / ASIN:087586340X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780875863405
Binding:Paperback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
In this collection of essays the authors, professors of history and political science at US colleges and universities, analyze George W. Bush's record on domestic issues ranging from women's rights to the environment, power, transportation, taxes, abortion, education, welfare, healthcare, homeland security, and employment. The need for such an examination was sparked by what many informed and responsible Americans have seen as serious blunders committed by President George W. Bush, even during his first term of office. Especially troublesome was the 2005 Inaugural Address. That address illustrates how Bush II is derailing the purpose of America as a nation.
Bush II could not perform this derailing all on his own. He had help. Both the introduction and the lead article present a framework of Republican activities covering a wide range of conservative thinking reaching back to the Nixon era. The remaining articles show how various additional individual policies have failed.
It is this conservative thinking that has undermined the roadbed and allowed for Bush II s distortion of the nation s avowed stand for freedom and democracy. The perspective of Republican activities also helps show why various Bush II policies that many see as blunders have been able to go unchallenged. Hopefully, this book will succeed in informing voters where other media have failed. Other books have attempted to describe these informational limitations. Neil Postman s Language in America rings as relevant today as it did when it pointed out the problem of media intensity four decades ago. Three decades ago, Alvin Toffler described the problem of time crunching in Future Shock. James Gleick has reiterated both media intensity and time crunch dilemmas in his book, FSTR: Faster, the Acceleration of Just about Everything. Books themselves, with their more deliberate and hopefully more cognitive and in-depth research capabilities, are no panacea, either. Special interests, personal prejudices, religious leanings, and outright dishonesty can slant books just as easily as they do other media programs and presentations. Also, books are just as susceptible to logical fallacies and propaganda devices as other media forms are.
The writers represented in A Bird in the Bush: Failed Domestic Policies of the George W. Bush Administration have attempted accuracy and honesty, above all else. I am most grateful to all the scholars who have contributed so generously of their time, talent, and yeoman effort, to say nothing of their love for and dedication to their country, in preparing these articles. They join me in one of the most patriotic efforts imaginable responsible, constructive, and caring criticism of our government. When Vice President Dick Cheney and Attorney General John Ashcroft intimate that critics of the Bush II administration are committing treason (the same argument was made during the Nixon and Reagan presidencies), they need to recall a statement from The Arrogance of Power, written by one of America s and the world s most distinguished thinkers, the late Sen. J. William Fulbright. Fulbright not only approved such dissent but called it a duty. Unfortunately, this duty promotes anger from the targets of that criticism, which can result threats from them and create fear among the public. The discharge of the duty of dissent is handicapped in America by an unworthy tendency to fear serious criticism of our government. This threat and fear process was once again illustrated by Bush when he contended that those politicians who opposed his social security legislation would be sorry.

Product Description:
This is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the extraordinary Castro brothers and the impending dynastic succession of Fidel's younger brother Raul. Brian Latell, the CIA analyst who has followed Castro since the sixties, gives an unprecedented view into Fidel and Raul's remarkable relationship, revealing how they have collaborated in policy making, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty years--a challenge to the notion that Fidel always acts alone. Latell has had more access to the brothers than anyone else in this country, and his briefs to the CIA informed much of U.S. policy. Based on his knowledge of Raul Castro, Latell makes projections on what kind of leader Raul would be and how the shift in power might influence U.S.-Cuban relations.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:0870812106

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
The Legislature is the dominant branch of government in Colorado. Yet until now, there has been no single study that so richly portrays this powerful institution and the nature of its membership.
The Colorado General Assembly is based on years of author John Straayer’s first-hand observations, his review of original documents and secondary sources, and hundred of conversations with lawmakers, lobbyists, members of the legislative staff, executive branch personnel, and journalists.
In this lively, informative book, Straayer describes the formal structure of the Legislature, as well as the all-important process by which bills become or do not become law, and how the power center within the institution can move or kill legislative initiatives. He also examines the clout of the lobby corps, which outnumbers the elected lawmakers five to one; the way the Legislature dominates the budget process; and the manner by which divisions between the two parties, the two houses, and the legislative and executive branches impact the conduct of the public’s business under Colorado’s gold dome.
The Colorado General Assembly fills a major gap in our knowledge of state government. It will appeal to students and practitioners of politics as well as to those with general interest in civic life.
