Abortion in the USA and the UK

Abortion in the USA and the UK

Recent years have revealed the different experiences of abortion in the UK and the USA. The United States has a higher abortion rate accompanied by a higher political profile for the issue. In fact one of George W. Bush's first acts in 2001 was to ban American funding for overseas organizations carrying out abortions. The USA has also experienced a higher degree of abortion-related violence with several people linked to abortion services being targeted and even killed. Compelling and enlightening in its approach this invigorating volume compares the two countries' abortion laws and outlines the distinctions. The usually conservative American society has a much more liberal abortion law than the United Kingdom whose female citizens can obtain an abortion relatively easily although in fact they do not have the right to choose. This stimulating volume examines the comparative positions taken by each country and makes important suggestions for the future. | Abortion in the USA and the UK

Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

After a quarter century of almost general condemnation and rebuttal of the entire nationalization experience it appears that there are second thoughts about governmental direct intervention in the economy. Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise deals with a topic often undervalued in the past decade but which now with the crisis of 2008-2009 calls for greater attention: the direct intervention of the State as Entrepreneur. The collection of essays in this volume – prepared by some of the leading authorities in the field – offers a contribution to this debate by providing a balanced assessment of two of the most relevant experiences of mixed economies the United Kingdom and Italy. In this respect a comparison between these two countries is very much appropriate since in both nations the State played an important role as Entrepreneur starting in the early 20th century. In Great Britain and Italy the heyday of the State as Entrepreneur was in the years right after WWII when it was used as a tool for promoting a modern society in which citizens acquired a stronger sense of belonging to their nations. The UK and Italy saw the State take on a too-pervasive role in the 70s; the two nations responded in different ways. In the 1980s Great Britain embarked on a harsh process of privatizations while Italians struggled on until finally submitting to privatizations in their nation in the following decade. The deep crisis of the final years of the 21st century forced both nations to reconsider State interventions as an appropriate tool in order to protect the wellbeing of the national economy. | Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Dogs detect scent from a source that is carried to them in a plume by the wind. The most important tool for a detector dog handler to have on searches is a knowledge of scent plume movement or scent dynamics (the science of scent movement). Such knowledge resides primarily in scientific journals that are largely inaccessible to detector dog handlers and written in language that is difficult to understand. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement: A Handler’s Guide to Environments and Procedures retrieves reviews and interprets the results of pertinent scientific research on scent dynamics and presents these results in terms that are easier for handlers to understand. Information on the physiology of the dog’s nose their sense of smell and the properties of scent provide the essential information on the process of scenting. The composition of training aids for explosives narcotics human remains and other sources is discussed. Recommendations are made on the use of training aids their placement during training and the resulting availability of scent. Potential problems and handler errors in the use of training aids are also examined. The characteristics of scent plumes and how wind influences their movement are a key focus of the book. The primary task for the handler is to get the dog into the scent plume so that the dog can detect the scent and follow it to the source the handler seeks. As such a knowledge of scent and scent plume movement will vastly improve the ability of the handler to accomplish this task. The influence of weather and physical settings such as terrain vegetation ground cover soil and water on scent movement are examined in detail. Strategies for searching detecting and locating sources in all physical settings are presented. Specific effects associated with hills and mountains fields and forests bare soils and soils covered by vegetation different soil types and lakes and rivers are examined in detail. This includes specific recommendations are made about weather and physical settings that result in higher probability of success on searches.
