The Political Economy of the Welfare State

By: Thomas Wilson,Dorothy J. Wilson

In the early 1980s, the welfare state, for too long regarded as a notable contribution to the establishment of a humane social order, had over the previous decade come under increasing attack. Some of its critics, especially in the UK and the USA, maintained that it had failed to deal satisfactorily with the problem of poverty. Others held that it was over-elaborate, created a psychology of dependence and imposed costs that needed to be reduced as part of a policy of general economic recovery. In a number of countries, cuts had already been imposed or were now contemplated. In this situation it was crucially important to direct attention once more to the basic objectives of the various welfare services from a systematic and comparative standpoint. Originally published in 1982, the authors of this book, one an economist and the other a specialist in social administration, subjected these aims to rigorous analysis and discuss the underlying issues of social philosophy. They then attempt to assess the various methods adopted for their attainment in Britain and comment on those adopted in the USA and in some continental European countries. Although the authors reject the more extreme assertion that the welfare state has been a failure, they point to the need to relate some of the policies followed more clearly to the basic objectives. A number of proposals for reform are put forward which would imply some change of emphasis and should permit a simplification of existing over-complex arrangements.

An Annotated Bibliography of the Literature

By: Dorothy C. Gosting,M. Ellin Doyle,Food Research Institute

Food Safety 1990: An Annotated Bibliography of the Literature is an annotated bibliography containing literature on food safety and foodborne diseases that were published during the latter half of 1989 and the first half of 1990. Around 2,000 scientific journals are surveyed and articles from over 400 sources are included in this volume. The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses topics about the relationship between diet and health such as the correlation of diet and diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the other effects of diet on health. Part II covers the different safety measures to be observed in the preparation of food, as well as the effects of food toxicity and contamination. Part III tackles the diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and parasites found in food. The text is recommended for food technologists, nutritionists, and health personnel who would like to know more about food safety and its advances.

Research Focus on Gastric Cancer

By: Dorothy C. Cardinni

This book presents important leading-edge research on stomach cancer. Stomach cancer (also called "gastric cancer") is the growth of cancer cells in the lining and wall of the stomach. Stomach cancer represents roughly 2% (25,500) cases of all new cancer cases yearly in the United States, but it is much more common in Japan, Great Britain, South America, and Iceland. It is associated with high salt in the diet, smoking, and low intake of fruits and vegetables. Infection with H. pylori is the main risk factor in about 80% or more of gastric cancers. It is more common in men. A very small percentage of diffuse-type gastric cancers are thought to be genetic. Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) has only recently been identified and research is ongoing, but genetic testing and treatment options are available for families at risk. Metastasis occurs in 80-90% of individuals with stomach cancer, with a five year survival rate of 75% in those diagnosed in early stages and less than 30% of those diagnosed in late stages.
