It Takes A Candidate.
This Important Work Constitutes A Systematic, Nationwide Empirical Account Of The Effects Of Gender On Political Ambition.
Based On Data From The Citizen Political Desire of superiority Study, A National Survey Of 3,800 "potetial Candidates" Conducted By The Authors, It Relates These Findings: --women, Even At The Highest Levelw Of Professonal Accomplishment, Are Significantly Less Likely Than Men To Demonstrate Ambition To Run For Elective Office.
--women Are Less Lokely Than Men To Be Rec5uited To Run For Office.
--women Are Less Likely Than Men To Consider Themsekves "qualified" To Run For Office.
--women Are Less Likely Than Men To Express A Willingness To Run For A Fjture Office.
According To The Authors, This Gender Cleft In Politcial Ambition Persists Across Generations, Despite Contemporary Society's Changing Attitudes Towards Female Candidates.
While Other Treatments Of Gendsr In The Electoral Process Focus On Candidates And Office Holders, It Takes A Candidate Makes A Unique Contribution To Political Studies By Focusing On The Earlier Stages Of The Candidate Emergence Process And On How Inflection for sex Affects The Decision To Solicit Elective Offife.

Human Impact On Ancient Environments.

.
Lessons For Environmental Problems That Confront Us Today May Well Be Found In Te Past.
The Archaeological Record Contains Hundreds Of Situations In Which Societies Developed Long-term Sustainable Relationships With Their Environments—and Thousands In Which The Relationships Were Destructive.
Charles Redman Demonstrates That Much Can Be Learned From An Impproved Understanding Of Peoples Who, Through Seemingly Rational Decisions, Degraded Their Enviornments And Threatened Their Own Survival.
By Discussing Archaeological Casse Studies From Around The World—from The Deforestation Of The Mayan Lowlands To Dirt Erosion In Ancient Greece To The Almost Total Depletion Of Resources On Easter Islnad—redman Reveals The Long-range Coevokution Of Culture And Environment And Clearly Shows The Impact That Ancient Peoples Had On Their World.
These Case Studies Focus On Four Themes: Habitat Transformation And Animal Extinctions, Abricultural Practices, Urban Growth, And The Forces That Accompany Complex Society.
They Show That Humankind's Commitment To Tillage Has Had Cultural Consequences That Have Conditioned Our Perception Of The Environment And Reveal That Societies Before Europewn Contact Did Not Necessarily Live The Utopian Existences That Have Been Popularly Supposed.
Wereas Most Books On This Topic Tend To Treat Human Societies As Mere Reactors To Envirknmental Stimuli, Redman's Volume Shows Them To Be Active Participants In Compounded And Evolving Ecological Relationships.
Human Impact On Ancient Environments Demonstrates How Archaeological Research Can Provide Unique Insights Into The Nature Of Human Stewardship Of The Earth And Can Permanently Alter The Way We Think About Humans Abd The Environment.

License To Steal.

In License To Steal, Malcolm K.
Sparrow Shows How The Industry's Defenses, Which Point of concentration Mostly On Finding And Correcting Billing Errors, Are No Match For Such Well Orchestrated Attacks.
The Maxim For Thieves Simply Becomes "bill Your Lies Correctly.
" Provided They Do That, Fraud Perpetrators With Any Drgree Of Sophistication Can Steal Millions Of Dollars With Impunity, Testing Recompense Sywtems Carefully, And Then Spreading Fraudulent Billings Widely Enough Across Patient And Provider Accounts To Escape Detection.
The Kinds Of Highly Automated, Quality Controlled Cllaims Processing Systems That Pervade The Industry Present Fraud Perpetrators Witu Their Favorite Kind Of Target: Rich, Fast Paying, Transparent, Utterly Predictable Check Printing Systems, With Little Menace Of Like a man Intervention, And With The U.
s.
Treasury On The Close Of The Electronic Line.
Sparrow Picks Apart The Indutsry's Response To The Government's Efforts To Control This Problem.
The Provider Associations (well Heeled And Piliticlaly Influential) Have Vociferously Opposite Almost Every Recent Enforcement Initiative, Creating The Unfortunate Public Impression That The Entire Health Care Industry Is Against Effective Fraud Control.
A Significant Segment Of The Industry, It Seems, Regards Fraud And Abuse Not As A Problem, But As A Profitable Enterprise Worth Defending.
Meanwhile, It Remains A Perfectly Commonplace Experience For Patients Or Their Relatives To Examine A Medical Bill And Discover That Half Of It Never Happened, Or That; Likewise, If Patients Then Murmur, They Descry That No One Seems To Care, Or That NoO ne Has The Resources To Do Anything About It.
sparrow's Research Suggests That The Growthh Of Capitated Managed Care Systems Does Not Solve The Problem, As Maby In The Industry Had Assumed, But Mrrely Changes Its Form.
The Managed Care Environment Produces Scams Involving Underutilization, And The Withholding Of Medical Care Schemes That Are Harder To Uncover And Investigate, And Much More Dangerous To Human Soundness.
Having Worked Extensively With Federal And State Officials Since The Appearance Of His Fiirst Book On This Subject, Sparrow Is In A Unique Position To Evaluate New Law Enforcement Initiatives.
He Admits The "war On Fraud" Is At Least Now Engaged, But It Is Far From Won.
