Seventy-six million Baby Boomers are careening toward retirement in the United States. Demographic shifts toward aging populations are taking place around the Western world, as a variety of factors—biological, technological, medical, and sociocultural—are extending life spans. Meanwhile, birth rates are declining. The scaremongers argue that this generational shift is going to be disastrous: It will result in skyrocketing tax rates, lower retirement and health benefits, higher inflation, increased unemployment and poverty, political instability, and a host of other societal ills. But will it? In Boomer Bust?, Robert Hudson assembles leading authors from fields such as economics, political science, and finance to separate fact from fiction, highlight the terms of debate, and showcase innovative policies that will prevent disaster from occurring. From topics like Social Security to older people rejoining the workforce to the elderly as a political lobby, this two-volume set covers the gamut of economic, political, financial, and business issues related to aging. The Boomer generation will leave one of the largest footprints the world has yet seen. In retirement, as in all else, this generation is blazing a path affecting succeeding generations profoundly. Boomer Bust? charts a path through the thicket of personal and public policy choices facing not just Baby Boomers but all of society.

This edited collection provides a cross-sectional review of environmental legislation and administration in the United States, with comparative chapters relating to Canada and New Zealand. The experts look at a variety of environmental issues that create policy problems, and while the book offers no blueprint or prognosis of environmental policy in the twenty-first century, it does offer insights into trends that will influence the future shape of that policy. The book is prefaced by an overview of the environment as a problem for policy by Lynton K. Caldwell, who has been credited with inventing the term environmental policy. Experts examine the role of risk analysis in policy making; the transnational issues associated with NAFTA and GATT are discussed; and the efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency to integrate policy and administration are described. The perspective of the authors is transnational, with several chapters focusing primarily on U.S. policy.
The skin, uniquely positioned at the interface between the human body and the external world, plays a multifaceted role in the expression of cancer. Primary skin cancer is the most common cancer afflicting mankind and is rising in inci dence, despite the fact that it is often preventable. Besides primary cancer, the skin may show direct and indirect evidence of internal cancer, thus serving as a window to the body for both laymen and physicians alike. In addition, the acces sibility of the skin is useful for the study of carcinogenesis as well as cancer treat ment options. lowe much of my interest in skin cancer to Dr. Leon Goldman, the father of dermatologic laser surgery, and to Dr. Edmund Klein, the father of modern immunotherapy. We, at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, were indeed for tunate to have a wealth of patients available for study. Many of the illustrations used in this book were of my patients at the Institute, and I kindly thank the fol lowing publications and their respective publishers for allowing me to reuse some of my photographs, most notably: Cancer Medicine (2nd edition), Journal of Surgical Oncology, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Archives of Dermatology, Cancer, and Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology.

The Journal of the Four Horsemen summarizes the adventures of four young businessmen and their efforts to help save their community from financial disaster. From the closing of the town’s major employer and the loss of over two thousand jobs, it traces the endeavors of a group of citizens in Cambridge, Maryland to bring an unemployment rate of almost 25% down to less than 5 %. Written from first-hand experience, it portrays the planning, the plodding, and the politics involved in industrial development. It describes the inspiring sense of achievement, the frustration of defeat, and laughs at the frailties of man ... especially their own. Without intending it to be, it is a road map for a "do-it-yourself" community economic program. Ride and fly with these men as they negotiate with such notables as the legendary James Rouse, The Chinese Food King Jeno Paulucci, and "Izzy" Meyers the founder of London Fog, as they entertain foreign dignitaries for The Department of State and match political wit with foes of the White House. The quaint town of Cambridge, Maryland is located on the south bank of the great Choptank River, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Before it became a town, the area had been inhabited by the Algonquian-speaking Choptank Indians. In the year 1669, The Maryland Assembly set aside that land as a Choptank Tribe Reservation. Fifteen years later, in 1684, The Maryland Assembly designated that same sector as a “port of entry" ... and the town of Cambridge was born. Cambridge was incorporated officially in 1793 and is one the oldest colonial cities in Maryland to have survived from that early date. Because the Eastern Shore was settled by English colonists, most community names were derived from familiar British cities and families. Our county, Dorchester, was named for the Earl of Dorset, a friend of the Calvert family. Although tucked away in a comer of the Delmarva Peninsula, Cambridge is steeped in history with quaint and attractive waterfronts and interesting architecture. It is the home of four former Governors of Maryland, as well as Stephen Allen Benson, the second President of Liberia. Anna Emma Carroll the "silent member" of Abraham Lincoln's cabinet resided here along with other notables such as Annie Oakley, Harriet Tubman, John Barth and Bea Arthur.

Henry Maurice Goldman grew up in a blue collar section of Boston, but he rose through Ivy League institutions to become one of the worlds greatest dental educators. In this biography, Robert Allyn Goldman pays tribute to his contributions in this eye-opening biography that will fascinate dentists, educators, history buffs, and anyone with questions about how their individual dental needs might relate to the profession in general. As Goldmans career blossomed, he realized how uninformed people were about their own dental health, and when he left The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C. after World War II, he devoted himself to periodontics, which was at the grassroots of his training and practice in oral pathology. Eventually he discovered that to accomplish his goals, he needed to tackle a bigger problem: the lack of training of dentists and poor dental health care delivery. That led him to devote all his energy to starting a school dedicated to dental specialization. By delving into Goldmans life story, youll get a firsthand look at the problems he solved and gain a deeper appreciation for dentistry and dental health.

Having received the invitation from Springer-Verlag to produce a volume on drug-induced birth defects for the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, we asked ourselves what new approach could we offer that would capture the state of the science and bring a new synthesis of the information on this topic to the world's literature. We chose a three-pronged approach, centered around those particular drugs for which we have a relatively well established basis for understanding how they exert their unwanted effects on the human embryo. We then supplemented this information with a series of reviews of critical biological processes involved in the established normal developmental patterns, with emphasis on what happens to the embryo when the processes are perturbed by experimental means. Knowing that the search for mechanisms in teratology has often been inhibited by the lack of understanding of how normal development proceeds, we also included chapters describing the amazing new discoveries related to the molecular control of normal morphogenesis for several organ systems in the hope that the experimental toxicologists and molecular biologists will begin to better appreciate each others questions and progress. Several times during the last two years of developing outlines, issuing invitations, reviewing chapters, and cajoling belated contributors, we have wondered whether we made the correct decision to undertake this effort.
