Kentucky Votes

U.S. House Primary and General Elections, 1920–1960

By: Malcolm E. Jewell

These three volumes of Kentucky election statistics at last make this basic tool of political research easily accessible to scholars, journalists, teachers, political candidates and others interested in primary and general election returns. In Kentucky, as in many other states, these figures have been available only in the Secretary of State's office, and there has been no compilation of percentages and pluralities necessary for comparative purposes. The source of all the statistics in these volumes is the official records in the office of the Secretary of State in Frankfort, Kentucky. All returns are listed by county. Volume 1 includes presidential elections from 1952 through 1960 and primaries and elections for the U.S. Senate from 1920 through 1960. Volume 2 includes gubernatorial primaries and elections from 1923 through 1959. Volume 3 includes primaries and elections for the U.S. House of Representatives from 1920 through 1960.

What Town Planners Do

Exploring Planning Practices and the Public Interest through Workplace Ethnographies

By: Abigail Schoneboom,Jason Slade,Malcolm Tait,Geoff Vigar

Presenting the complexities of doing planning work, with all its attendant moral and practical dilemmas, this rich ethnographic study analyses how places are made through stories of four diverse public and private sector working environments. The book provides a unique insight for educators, students and researchers into the everyday lives of planners and those in associated built environment occupations. This exceptional account of the micro-politics of a knowledge-intensive profession also provides an excellent resource for sociologists of contemporary work. The authors use team ethnography to push the methodological frontiers of planning research and to advance organisational ethnography into new areas.

Endothelial Modulation of Cardiac Function

Endothelial Modulation of Cardiac Function

By: Malcolm J Lewis,Ajay M Shah

Paracrine and autocrine regulation of cardiac function by "endothelial" mediators is becoming important both physiologically and pathophysiologically. This volume brings the researcher completely up to date with all aspects of endothelial regulation and cardiac function. Acknowledged experts in each field have contributed, making this work indispensable for researchers and of great interest to the clinical cardiologist. The Endothelial Cell Research Series publishes significant reviews by experts in the field. The individual volumes provide invaluable guides to researchers studying endothelial cells and are effective reference texts for anyone working in the general areas of vascular biology and neurotransmission. Endothelium was originally considered to be an inert lining for the blood vessels, but during the last fifteen years, this view has had to be completely revised. It is now accepted that the endothelium plays an important role in many diverse functions. This volume concentrates on the effect of the endothelium on cardiac function. It has been widely demonstrated that the endothelium exerts a paracrine influence on contraction of adjacent cardiac muscle through the release of several mediators, such as endothelin and nitric oxide. Recent studies also show that the effects of such mediators upon the heart are not limited to contraction alone.

Responsible Reproductive Choice in the 21st Century

Procreation and Abortion

By: Malcolm de Roubaix

This book systematically traces the development, significance, and implications of female reproductive choice. Paramount is the right to safe termination of pregnancy (TOP). In the USA, these rights are under threat after the reversal of Roe v Wade (1973), confirming the eternally contested nature of the pro-life/pro-choice standoff. The approach is unique and from all angles – historical, social, emotional, and legal. South African experience is evaluated against a global backdrop. Arguing from an ethics of responsibility, the book presents a justified, balanced, rational, and moderate position on the moral acceptability of TOP. It proposes that the morality TOP be evaluated by balancing inherent foetal moral significance against contingent potentiality: context and circumstance that may determine foetal development. TOP is a choice a woman faces with each pregnancy. It always has moral implications – exclusive to the life of the woman. So, too, do continued pregnancy and parenthood, but these are of greater magnitude and duration.

Sudden Leadership

A Survival Guide for Physicians

By: Malcolm Ogborn

If you have been tapped on the shoulder to take on a formal or informal physician, medical, healthcare or technical field leadership role, and are wondering "How do I do this?", this book is here to help. In a creative yet straightforward fashion, Dr. Malcolm Ogborn provides a valuable and insightful resource that can support professionals, particularly physicians, who find themselves thrust into leadership roles requiring knowledge and skills that have not been part of their professional training. Sudden Leadership follows the early leadership journeys of two fictitious physicians. For each scenario in which the characters find themselves, Dr. Ogborn reviews relevant, evidence-based literature and offers pragmatic and field-tested approaches that allow new professional leaders to face their challenges with confidence. Topics include • defining your leadership, including knowing when to take a leadership role and when to turn it down • attracting and, more importantly, engaging followers and knowing when to lead by being a good follower • motivating and managing others doing the work and mastering the skills of delegation • running meetings that actually work rather than get in the way of work • handling tough conversations skilfully to achieve progress not confrontation • strong team leadership by embracing the natural development of teams and skillfully adapting your leadership style to changing team needs • mastering time allocation by understanding how you think about time, how you make time related decisions, and how you hold your self accountable for good use of your time. • successfully managing conflict as an inevitable and surprisingly productive part of human experience. • preventing burnout by recognizing it as an occupational phenomenon, not a mental illness • leading change or system improvement through clear targeting, familiarity with the determinants of change acceptance, well-planned and skilled advocacy and effective recruitment of a change team and allies Engaging and educational, Sudden Leadership will make a vital addition to any professional's library.
