Book Description
This work covers new ground by presenting a systematic, comparative macro-analysis of the historical experiences of thirteen race and ethnic groups, with emphasis on their economic and political ties to government. It starts with the colonial period (Anglo-Saxons, French, and Scots-Irish) and extends to 1970, which can be considered the date at which civil rights legislation began to have a significant effect.

Book Description
A critical approach to the analysis of social problems facing the world today that examines both the causes of those problems and their human implications. Twelve chapters look at large societal issues such as Environmental Abuse and Economic Inequality and Poverty. The final five chapters focus on problems of an individual nature such as family-related problems and criminal behavior. The Fourth Edition has been substantively revised to include current issues such as the rise of temporary employees, the growing concentration of wealth, immigration in an increasingly diverse United States, an entirely new chapter on Heterosexism, the failures of the U.S. health care system, suicide among the young and old, and more.

Great Ideas Presented.......2000-06-23
Social Problems, A Critical Approach presents the reader with a variety of new ideas on social problems today ranging from famine to the military-industrial complex. Time is taken to examine each problem from its origin in history to the present day problem. I found this text organized in a manner easy to follow and understand.

Customer Reviews:
Captivating.......2003-08-01
Hinshelwood's brief but intense survery of Klein and Kleinian technique is sure to send a shiver down your spine as you contemplate its rich and dense metaphors for human interaction. An intrapsychic look at interpersonal relationships, CLINICAL KLEIN is fascinating and apt. My only caveat is that Hinshelwood takes too many of his examples from dreams of patients, or clinical manifestations, and not enough from the outside lives of the patients. This creates a protective solipsism that psychoanalysis is often and rightly accused of. Still, this is rigorous stuff. It aims to heal by avoiding (and embracing) nothing.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent condensation of an often misunderstood theory.......1999-04-12
Hinshelwood provides the clinician with an important synopsis of Mrs. Klein's approach to the understanding of the patient's unconscious. His digestion and presentation of her theory of the development of the mind and symbol representation enables even the neophyte analyst a wonderful insight into the world of Klienian theory. Rather than assuming the reader is well-versed in the terms of Klienian theory, he provides a easy to read primer of her concepts of the development of the mind. In addition, one would profit from this tome if reading other challenging authors such as Bion who assumes his reader is conversant in Kleinian theory.
Customer Reviews:
Good introduction book but little detailed topics.......2007-10-13
it is good book those who start to learn french on their own however the biggest drawbacks of the book are the topics are not so detailed. and the cds are just for learning limited conversations but not actual speaking.
An easy way to learn French !.......2007-03-17
I am French and I teach French as a foreign language. I highly recommand thsi method. It starts with simple dialogues which get trickier and trickier but very gradually. The voices, intonation and accent sound really authentic too. A very good choice !
Ultimate French Beginner-Intermediate (Book) (LL(R) Ultimate Basic-Intermed) .......2007-03-08
It needs phonic spelling if the student does not buy the CDs / tapes. It should have a workbook.
Excellent combination of audio and grammer.......2007-02-21
I like this a lot better than Pimsleur and a lot less expensive too.
Excellent tool.......2007-02-15
I am a French major in college and this book with CDs are a perfect tool to supplement my studies. It brushes up my basics and helps me along with what I'm currently learning. I can carry it with me everywhere.

Great Local Info.......2006-02-26
Rick Steves is as entertaining in his books as on TV. Especially for those who have visited places before, his books really help give a local feel to the area. He has great "insider" tips that we look forward to when we revisit a country. All of his books are exceptional
Oh yes!.......2006-01-04
