Advancing Futures

Futures Studies in Higher Education

By: James A. Dator

What is Futures Studies, what are the theories and methods underlying the field? What are its basic concepts and metaphors, and how is it related to other academic fields? These are the core questions addressed in this book by a comprehensive assembly of distinguished scholars. They explore the enigma of why Futures Studies, despite its growing maturity as an intellectual endeavor, after more than three decades of groundbreaking work, still struggles for institutional acceptance. Together these contributors paint a picture of Futures Studies not so much a product of the stale intellectual heritage of the 20th century, but as a vibrant harbinger of intellectual perspectives sure to gain wider currency in the 21st. Drawing on their backgrounds in fields as diverse as political science, history, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, management, and human ecology, this international line-up of contributors includes world systems theorist Immanuel Wallerstein, philosopher Peter Manicas, management professor Bill Halal, and industrial sociologist Arthur Shostak.

Anabolic Treatments for Osteoporosis

By: James F. Whitfield,Paul Morley

Osteoporosis, a growing epidemic among women in North America, Europe, and Japan, is a painful, costly disease that has presented a treatment challenge to healthcare professionals. Until recently, therapies have focused on agents that slow bone resorption, and have had only limited success at increasing bone mass. However, exciting new developments are on the verge of changing the treatment of this debilitating disorder. Two anabolic agents, the parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the fluoride ion, show tremendous promise as tools for building and retaining bone - with no adverse side effects. Anabolic Treatments for Osteoporosis is a comprehensive account of the latest studies that have been carried out on these two agents, and a thorough assessment of their prospects as osteoporosis therapeutics. This unique book combines basic science and up-to-date clinical data to present a complete picture of this breakthrough in the treatment of a globally significant health issue.

Child Maltreatment: A comprehensive photographic reference identifying potential child abuse

By: James A. Monteleone

Written in a frank, plainspoken manner from the vantage of nationally recognized experts, this encyclopedic reference covers all manifestations of abuse, including physical, psychological, and sexual signs. No other reference treats the topic of child maltreatment so completely, giving the practitioner an understanding only years of clinical work could rival. This is especially apparent in its coverage of sexual abuse. While addressing the physical findings, including STDs, in depth, this text emphasizes the most important components of the process-disclosure by, and interview of, the suspected victim. Appropriate for: Pediatricians, Family Practice Physicians.
