The 1850s saw in America the breakdown of the Jacksonian party system in the North and the emergence of a new sectional party--the Republicans--that succeeded the Whigs in the nation's two-party system. This monumental work uses demographic, voting, and other statistical analysis as well as the more traditional methods and sources of political history to trace the realignment of American politics in the 1850s and the birth of the Republican party. Gienapp powerfully demonstrates that the organization of the Republican party was a difficult, complex, and lengthy process and explains why, even after an inauspicious beginning, it ultimately became a potent political force. The study also reveals the crucial role of ethnocultural factors in the collapse of the second party system and thoroughly analyzes the struggle between nativism and antislavery for political dominance in the North. The volume concludes with the decisive triumph of the Republican party over the rival American party in the 1856 presidential election. Far-reaching in scope yet detailed in analysis, this is the definitive work on the formation of the Republican party in antebellum America. ... Publisher descri[ption.

The medical record is the single, tangible tool that can be used to accurately access reflect the quality of medical care rendered to patients in a hospital. Judgment of the medical record should be made only by qualified members of the Medical Staff, who serve on its reviewing committees; Medical Record, Medical Audit, and Tissue. In addition, the medical record should serve as a scientific teaching tool in the education of interns and residents, as well as in the continuing education of practicing physicians. to ensure quantitative and qualitative completeness of the medical record, the medical staff of the Barberton Citizens Hospital has set forth, in its Rules and Regulations, policies governing these records. the responsibilities of the attending and house physician are made explicit. the reviewing committees are obliged to insure adherence to these policies. the medical record librarian and her staff, upon receipt of the chart from the floor, "grade" it for clerical deficiencies. Factors, such as the quantity of progress notes, presence or lack of consultation notes, completeness of history or physical examination should not be left to the discretion of the medical record department personnel. Such elements are only to be judged by physicians. However, in instances of obvious deficiency, the medical record librarian should seek the opinion of the chairman of the Medical Record Committee. He should then decide what steps, if any, should be taken. the policies concerning Medical Records in the Rules and Regulations are set before the Medical Staff; they need only be followed to produce good records that are a true picture of the care being rendered. However, it must be re-emphasized that the ultimate responsibility for providing a good medical record rests with the physician of record. Members of the house staff, nursing service, and many other paramedical personnel assist him in the care of his patient; nevertheless, it is he who must authenticate the accurate recording of this care.
The Cold War certainties that had seemed so fixed in the 20th Century were overturned by the war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein's Republican Guards were the battlefield victims of a brutally quick war of shock and awe. No less shocked and awed were some of America's former allies: "old" Europe, large blocks of the UN, and half the G8 nations suddenly found themselves outside the chain of command and influence. Bush, Blair, and their allies were driven by a new global vision. Their mission, expressed with great moral certainty, has been called imperialist. In fact, it was simply inevitable after 9/11: that terrible event ushered in a new era with new rules. Shawcross shows what the future will hold for Iraq, Israel, and the Middle East, how Western alliances will be changed forever, and demonstrates that the war was the definitive proof that a new era of 21st Century international politics has begun.
