Many unhappy returns; one man's quest to turn around the most unpopular organization in America.
Rossotti, Charles O. Harvard Bus. School Press, 2005 340 p. $2G.95 Rossotti is not alone in having managed 100,000 employees serving 180 million customers. He is also not alone in succeeding at turning an organization with significant political, management and technological problems into a modern business. His particular claim to fame is that he managed to do this in five years as head of the Internal Revenue Service. While he may not have succeeded at making us all love the IRS, he at the very least saw to it that significantly less of the two trillion dollars it collected each year went into sustaining outmoded operations, pathetically inadequate systems, and entrenched bad management. He describes how he made significant changes and also what remains to be changed, including the tax code and the way elected officials create budgets. m2381 2005-009764 0-8447-4234-1

The theory of environmental agreements and taxes; CO2 policy performance in comparative perspective.
Enevoldsen, Martin. (New horizons in environmental economics) Edward Elgar Pub. Co., 2005 294 p. $120.00 In analyzing the effects of green taxes and voluntary agreements on the behavior of industrial polluters and pollution abatement, Enevoldesn (public policy, U. of Aarhus, Denmark) hypothesizes that predictors of environmental policy performance must take into account the nature and institutional configuration of the policy instrument, that green takes will generally be more effective than equally well- designed voluntary agreements, and that voluntary environmental agreements will tend to suffer from free-rider problems unless the social capital stakes are high. He tests these hypotheses in the cases of Austrian, Danish, and Dutch CO2 policies towards industry over the last two decades and subjects the findings to econometric analysis.

Postmodernism is not what you think; why globalization threatens modernity, 2d ed.
Lemert, Charles C. Paradigm Publishers, 2005 195 p. $21.95 (pa) In the view of Lemert (sociology, Wesleyan U.), modernism is a culture that justifies the world-system of capitalism and its "extraction of surplus value on the basis of stolen resources and impoverished cheap labor." Postmodernism, then, can be seen as the conditions where modernism fails to cover up the dirty secrets of capitalist modernity. Seen in this positive light, postmodernism is driven by processes of globalization, and is the cultural corollary to a global political economy. This understanding of postmodernism and globalization underpins his wide-ranging discussion in which he addresses questions of the media and popular culture, identity politics, the science wars, politics and cultural studies, and structuralism and postculturalism.

Contempt of court; a scholar's battle for free speech from behind Dars.
Scarce, Rik. (Crossroads in qualitative inquiry series; v.6) AltaMira Press, 2005 223 p. $72.00 Scarce (sociology, Skidmore College) knew more than he could tell about a group of animal rights activists who had broken into a research library, a situation that came to a head in a Spokane, Washington courtroom. There he refused to testify before a grand jury and was imprisoned for contempt of court for five months. Scarce's training as an ethnologist and journalist served him well in jail as he kept a diary that details his life in the general population, their struggles with their situations and with him as an outsider, his perceptions about civil liberties and the justice system, the small things such as a blanket on which to play cards that come to mean much in confinement, and his new definitions of courage and forbearance.

Illuminations from the past; trauma, memoiy, and histoiy in modem China.
Wang, Ban. (Cultural memory in the present) Stanford U. Press, 2004 311 p. $21.95 (pa) During the two decades of growing globalization and its underlying imperial paradigm, Wang (Chinese and Comparative Literature, Rutgers University) has become uncomfortable with the notion of universal norms and a universal history. What, he asks, will become of the national, local, and even family and individual memory? Taking modern Chinese culture as a case study, he sketches a trajectory in which memory and history proceed in tension and unison. HM626 2004-053385
Structuration theory.
stones, Rob. (Traditions in social theory series) Palgrave Macmillan, 2005 225 p. $28.95 (pa) Anthony Giddens's structuration theory, once a mainstay of social science, has come under significant criticism in recent years. Stones (sociology, U. of Essex) introduces structuration from the core and also works to provide a stronger framework for it that draws upon criticism, debates, defenses and refinements within the field. He describes the basic tenets of the theory, its distinctions and the limits of its scope, and its ontology, its influences, critics (friend and foe), and his development of it into a stronger form in terms of ontology, research focus, and the wider picture within the discipline. Stones uses Morawska's Insecure Prosperity and Ibsen's A Doll's House as case studies. HM621 2004-063591 O8058-5582-3 HM661 2004-304404 0-7619^365-X

(Changing media, changing Europe; v.2) Intellect, Ltd., 2005 244 p. $39.95 (pa) When is an audience a public, ask these European media scholars and social scientists, and when is a public an audience. Their underlying contention is that understandings, values, and identities of the public, and the fora in which these are expressed, are increasingly mediated technologically, materially, and discursively.

Rethinking freedom; why freedom lost its meaning and what can De done to save it.
Alford, C. Fred. Palgrave Macmillan, 2005 169 p. $22.95 (pa) Puzzled at the way the term "freedom" is used to describe every positive aspect of the United States, Alford (government, U. of Maryland, College Park) asked many people, particularly young people, about their definitions of freedom. This volume is a rebuttal to the majority of his respondents, who were not enthusiastic about freedom as an abstract ideal. Alford uses a range of philosophers and actual experiences of freedom to argue his position. HM1271 90-04-14652-0
Achieving peace or protecting human rights?; conflicting between norms regarding ethnic discrimination in the Dayton peace agreement.
Nystuen, Gro. (The Raoul Wallenberg Institute human rights VtbraTy,
V.23)
Martinus-Nijhoff, 2005 296 p. $279.00 Nystuen (international humanitarian law, U. of Oslo) has been with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Afiairs since 1991, and participated in the European Union delegation to the negotiations that led to the Dayton Peace Agreement of 1995. Using that Agreement as a case study, she explores possible contradictions between human rights protection against ethnic discrimination, and provisions in peace settlements that might undermine such human rights. She seeks to determine the scope of conflict between these two sets of rules, and to assess on a general basis whether the non-fulfillment of human rights may be justified in order to secure peace, and if so, to what extent, under what circumstances, and for how long. The study is revised from her 2004 doctoral thesis in international law at the University of Oslo. Nijhoff is an imprint of Brill.

Trafficking and prostitution reconsidered; new perspectives on migration, sex work, and human rights.
Title main entry. Ed. by Kamala Kempadoo. Paradigm Publishers, 2005 247 p. $68.00 Activists and scholars engaged with women's issues and h u m a n rights try to clarify some confusion about the meaning of human trafficking and the impact measures taken to end it have on poor people around the world. Diverging from the views of global political leaders and the mainstream media, they explain how trafficking is conceptualized, redefined, and made operational by people who work in the field and value the rights and lives of the poor and marginalized. They draw from research and activism primarily in Asia since the 1990s, and focus on people's livelihood arrangements and survival strategies under new forms of globalization.

How modem governments made prostitution a social problem; creating a responsible protitute population.
Scott, John Geoffrey. (Studies in health and h u m a n services; v.54) Edwin Mellen Pr., 2005 306 p. $119.95 Attitudes toward prostitution have shifted substantially in the past few years, with arguments changing from moral issues to social issues to simply health issues. However Scott (sociology, U. of New England, Australia) notes that one theme that remains strong and unchanging is power, in particular the power of the state over women's minds and bodies. He examines the histories of prostitution in New South Wales and their different takes on power and truth, the role of "other" in the shift in attitude, the idea of appl3ang private remedies to public concerns, the emergence and complication of the male prostitute, and the shift fVom procreation to pleasure inherent in the business. Scott closes with an analysis of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the debate over prostitution.

CUldhood in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; the results of a paradigm shift in the history of mentality.
Title main entry. Ed. by Albrecht Classen. Walter de Gruyter, 2005 444 p. $91.59 In these 19 articles, contributors explain how much has changed in what we understand about the relationship between parents and children in the Middle Ages. Far from considering their children as undersized adults, or holding them at a distance with as little emotional attachment as possible, it appears that both fathers and mothers had deep emotional ties with their offspring and were greatly concerned about their children's well-being and education. Topics such as the influence of monastic ideals on Carolingian conceptions of childhood, the rise of the cult of the Christ-Child, publication of children's literature and guides to child-rearing, evidence that girls were educated as well as boys, and case studies of the family lives of such as Margery Kemp and Isabeau of Bavaria prove that past concepts of familial relationships may have been tainted by scholarly prejudice against the Middle Ages.

The dancing girls of Lahore; selling love and saving dreams in Pakistan's ancient pleasure district.
Brovm, Louise. Fourth Estate, 2005 311 p. $23.95 By the standards of almost any culture, particularly their own, they are unclean. They are born into the business, and the sale of their virginity, and their daughters' virginity, is often necessary fbr their family's survival. Their lives are proscribed and in that smaU space oflen chaotic, especially when they dare to behave fbr one second like other women. Brown (sociology, Birmingham U.) writes with a novelist's sense of what is important in her account, taken from fbur years of diaries of her experiences living wath a family of prostitutes in Lahore, Pakistan. She does not flinch from the reality of the women's situation, but she is also sensitive to their ability to live on hope, in many cases, the hope of a time when they will not be bought and sold.

Coquery-Vidrovitch, Catherine. Markus Wiener Pub., 2005 421 p. $28.95 (pa) Coquery-Vidrovitch (U. of Paris, France) traces the history of African cities from antiquity to the present age. She describes their origins and the subsequent accumulation and interpenetration of Islamic, Mediterranean, and Asian influences and the convergence of contact from the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. She stresses the importance of economics and cultural mediation in the evolution of the cities and catalogues the different types of cities that have existed over Africa's longue durie. Her hope is that the reader will come away from the work with an understanding of African urbanization as existing along a continuum, rather than as a process of ruptures.

Title main entry. Ed. by Donald Miller and Domenico Patassini. (Urban planning and environment) Ashgate Publishing Co., 2005 314 p. $99.95 In benefit cost analysis, all effects must be expressed in monetary terms thus downplaying the importance of non-market values such as environmental quality. Aimed at researchers, elected officials, and professional planners, this text presents alternative approaches to the evaluation of urban planning options that take non-market values into account. It contains 16 contributions from international specialists explaining how methodologies such as effectiveness-cost and multicriteria analysis have been applied in developing special- issue plans, complex regional development strategies, and efforts to analyze the environmental justice aspects of major infrastructure projects. Some of the papers were originally presented at a 2003 workshop held at IUAV University in Venice, Italy.
European cities in the knowledge economjr, the cases of Amsterdam, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Helsinki, Manchester, Munich, Miinster, Rotterdam and 2:aragoza.
Berg, Leo Van et al. Ashgate Publishing Co., 2005 367 p. $114.95 Four researchers from the European Institute for Comparative Research (Erasmus U., Rotterdam) analyze how nine cities have been impacted by the shift from the physical manufacture of products to the development of new products and production processes, the generation of new knowledge, and the devising of marketing concepts. One question pursued is what local government has done and can do to upgrade the local economy and guide it towards greater knowledge intensity. Among their findings are that some cities have a more explicit and comprehensive knowledge economy strategy than others, that some cities take a regional perspective in their strategies, and that technical workers tend to prefer their surroundings to be quiet than vibrant.

Title main entry. Ed. by Oedzge Atzema et al. (New horizons in regional science) Edward Elgar Pub. Co., 2005 213 p. $85.00 In this collection of 11 articles, leading experts explore the respective roles of the public and private sectors in land markets and regional economics with an emphasis on examining the impact of government intervention, or lack of it, in attempts to attain sustainable growth. Although the case studies come primarily from The Netherlands and Israel, the contributors, whose articles originated in recent workshops on regional science in Utrecht, also consider development in the US, Canada and Europe rather than merely comparing policies and results in two regions. Beginning with a survey of private-public contributions to regional development and land-use planning, article topics include sustainable growth in infrastructure, institutional changes in housing markets, determinants of urban sprawl, clustering of sofhvare industries, privatization and deregulation of transport and aviation, permanent and temporary public land ownership, the economic value of open space, and spatial structures and policy.

The African Institution (18O7-18270 and the antislavery movement in Great Britain.
Ackerson, Wayne. (Studies in British historjr, v.77) Edwin Mellen Pr., 2005 246 p. $109.95 Ackerson (African, Indian, and British Imperial history; Salisbury U.) begins the task of recognizing the African Institute as an important antislavery organization and its role not only in British abolitionism but also in humanitarianism in general. No archival materials survive, which he says may be a big reason no deep study of the organization has been undertaken so far, but there are plenty of primary sources, among them annual reports, personal letters, and correspondence of the Foreign Office and Colonial Office. The group formed in 1807 just afler the House of Lords and Commons passed the primary abolition act, and over the next two decades focused on such issues as enforcement, especially in Sierra Leone, and the naval suppression of the slave trade.

Not wholly free; the concept of manumission and the status of manumitted slaves in the ancient Greek world.
Zelnick-Abramovitz, R. (Mnemos3me, bibliotheca classica Batava, Supplementum; 266) Brill Academic Publishers, 2005 385 p. $160.00 Was a manumitted slave truly free? Zelnick-Abramovitz makes this her central question and finds that evidence of the status of manumitted slaves is scanty and often enigmatic, that there were various degrees and methods of "freeing" slaves, that manumitted slaves formed a subgroup wdthin Greek society, and that while some of the laws about manumission were fairly exact, how they were applied to individual cases was not. She presents cases from primary sources showing how individual slaves came to be manumitted determined much of their later life, but how in any case they remained in a sort of gray zone between the slave and free. Considering how important slaves and former slaves were to the Greeks' economic and social lives, and also considering how even those considered "freed" were treated, it appears we must re-read what the Greeks had to say about the theory and workings of what they termed "democracy."

Making it worlq educating the blind/visually impaired student in the regular school.
Castellano, Carol. (Critical concerns in blindness) Information Age Publishing, 2005 227 p. $34.95 (pa) Some are beginning to understand that educating the blind and visually impaired exclusively in specnal schools or classrooms amounts to apartheid. Others are beginning to understand they must comply with the Individuals viath Disabilities Education Act. In either case teachers have more blind and visually impaired students in their classrooms, and are beginning to understand that teaching them is a creative process; the teacher learns to be more articulate, sensitive and realistic, and the student learns how to deal with the sighted world. Consultant Castellano emphasizes the positive in her pragmatic approach, addressing such issues as having correct expectations, using the skills and tools associated with blindness, assessing curriculum, and managing the classroom. Her text is unique in that it acknowledges the prejudices and misperceptions of the sighted, although it contains a few lapses into the medical model and the "poster child" mentality.

Garner shows how the orthodoxy that humans are morally superior to animals is surprisingly fragile and fraught with controversy, that changes necessary to granting a higher moral status to animals has considerable consequences to a culture that has treated animals as commodities, and that such movements as wildlife conservation, animal protection, and animal liberation have increased advocacy, policy and direct action even at the commercial level, such as in consumer demand for cruelty-free products.

Findlay, Mark and Ralph Henham. Willan Publishing, 2005 413 p. $69.95 Findlay (criminal justice, U. of Sydney and Nottingham Law School) and Henham (criminal justice, Nottingham Law School) set out an agenda to transform international criminal trials and thereby the delivery of international criminal justice to victim communities. They begin by investigating the sodal theory supporting a model of the trial as a process of dedsion making, then comparatively analyze examples from the trial traditions that have most influenced the international trial process. Their radical argument is for the harmonization of restorative and retributive justice within international criminal justice, and suggest how the trial process can be transformed to that end.

Their ideal of liberty, he says, did not go so far as to jeopardize patriarchy, and so even today freedom-loving Americans rarely question a penitentiary system that incarcerates two million and threatens over twice that many.
