Yanks Over Europe: American Flyers in World War II
Jerome F. Klinkowitz
Contrasts between fighter combat and the bombers' war support Klinkowitz's belief that notions of the air war were determined by one's position in it. He extends his thesis by showing the vastly different style of air war described by veterans of the North African and Mediterranean campaigns and concludes by studying the effects of such combat on adversaries and victims. - Provided by publisher

State Under Siege: Development and Policy Making in Peru
Philip Mauceri
Using a framework that highlights how societal and international factors have shaped state capacities, Philip Mauceri examines the volatile politics in Peru from the Velasco through the Fujimori regimes as the country has moved from a “developmentalist” state to neoliberalism. Dr. Mauceri begins by reassessing the reformist experiment of the Peruvian military regime (1968–1980), arguing that it led to the development of unexpected challenges to state authority, both from new social actors and international financial organizations. During the 1980s, these challenges intensified, made even worse by poor planning and limited policy choices. The author then argues that the attempt by the Fujimori regime, backed by a neoliberal coalition, to “retool” the state indicates the degree to which state capacities are determined by social and international conditions. Mauceri also gives special attention to the relation between changing state power and social control. Separate chapters on the evolution of a Lima shantytown and the Shining Path examine how changes in state-society relations have had impacts at the grassroots level. -- Provided by publisher

The Federal Government and Urban Housing: Ideology and Change in Public Policy
R. Allen Hays
This book provides a complete picture of federal housing and community development policy during the last sixty years. Since the first edition was published in 1985, the quality and quantity of published works on U.S. housing policy have increased considerably. But this book still stands out from other works in the breadth of its coverage and analysis. This second edition covers virtually every major program that has attempted to provide housing for disadvantaged persons and compares and contrasts their underlying approaches to housing problems. It also examines the impact of major community development programs--urban renewal and Community Development Block Grants--on urban housing. The coverage of U.S. housing policy extends through the first year of the Clinton administration. Most notably, Hays calls into question the generally negative appraisal of housing programs that is widespread in the public policy and urban politics literature. He shows that although most of these programs have experienced major problems, none has been an unqualified failure, and most have improved the housing conditions of millions of people. Placing the federal government's attempts to deal with housing problems within a broader analytical framework by relating them to long and short-term political changes, Hays argues that the political variable with the most impact on the course of housing policy has been ideology--in particular, the ideological orientations of the various presidential administrations during the past sixty years. -- Provided by publisher

Basepaths
Jerome Klinkowitz
In the timeless world of fiction it is "next year" for the Mason City Royals of Jerry Klinkowitz's award-winning Short Season and Other Stories. Who's back? Just three players: Billy Harmon, Dave Alpert, and the baby-fat slugger Mark Wiggins. But that's good, for in minor league baseball the best players are promoted while the failures are dropped. So except for Billy, Dave, and Mark, who expect just another half-season of fine-tuning before moving up, it's an open field for a new season of hopes and dreams - but for nightmares too. The team gets a new manager, Ken Boyenga (with a colorful major league past) just as its local ownership elects a new club president, Al Swenson (a man with two daughters and a business with the hopeful title of "Swenson & Son Electric"). Plus there's Mike Jacobs, a contract garbage hauler who's just joined the board of directors (and already thinks he owns the team). Added to the busload of rookies on this fresh season's team, this "new leadership" on and off the field lets readers enjoy the parallel spectacle of a sports business being constructed - and deconstructed - and finally utterly demolished right before their eyes all in the spirit of boisterous hilarity that has come to characterize minor league baseball at its most fun. -- Provided by publisher

Women's Voices in our Time : Statements by American Leaders
Victoria Pruin DeFrancisco and Marvin D. Jensen
Voices of wisdom and inspiration and outrage, words that move and lead, are expressions of character--not reflections of gender. This collection, then, is an attempt to address the exclusion of female rhetors from traditional anthologies by featuring the speeches of twenty-eight American women who represent a new style of leadership. These women vary in age, ethnicity, and political and social ideology, yet as speakers they share several traits: all speak with active, not passive, voices; all have messages for men as well as women; all demonstrate an awareness of their audience; all speak for something--offering listeners not just a perception of wrongs but an affirmation of alternatives; and all offer some vision that goes beyond narrow ideology. Moreover, the editors have presented each speech in context, documenting when possible the intention and approach of the speaker, as well as the audience response. Women's Voices in Our Time is an important step in the documentation of women's attempts to claim the public speaking platform as their own. - Provided by publisher

Vascular Plants of Iowa: An Annotated Checklist and Natural History
Lawrence J. Eilers and Dean M. Roosa
Anyone who works with the vascular plants of Iowa—researchers, conservationists, teachers, agricultural specialists, horticulturists, gardeners, and so on—and those who are simply interested in knowing more about the state's plants have long felt a need for a comprehensive flora of Iowa. This meticulously researched volume is a giant first step toward such a flora. This book consists of an extended essay on the natural history of the vascular plants of Iowa, a discussion of their origins, a description of the state's natural regions, and a painstakingly annotated checklist of Iowa vascular plants. The data, which apply to over 150 years, took more than 15 years to collect. All known vascular plants that grow and persist in Iowa without cultivation are included in the checklist. These are native plants, primarily, but a large number of introduced species have become established throughout the state. Also included are Iowa's major crop plants and some of its common garden plants. The lengthy checklist provides an accurate and up-to-date listing of species names and common names, synonyms, distribution, habitat, abundance, and origin; county names are given for very rare species, and the most complete information has been provided for all rare plants and troublesome species. The wealth of information is this well-organized, practical volume—which describes more than two thousand species from Adiantum pedatum, the northern maidenhair fern of moist woods and rocky slopes, to Zannichellia palustris, the horned pondweed of shallow marshes and coldwater streams—makes it possible to identify Iowa plants correctly. All midwesterners will want to own a copy of The Vascular Plants of Iowa. -- Provided by publisher

Ownership, Control, and the Future of Housing Policy
R. Allen Hays
This comparative study is the first to center on the key issues of homeownership and control today in a number of industrialized countries. Experts from Canada, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States draw a cross-national and interdisciplinary, informed picture of basic issues and values, current trends, and different policy approaches that have been tested in recent years. This overview of various national policies and programs is intended for students and scholars, policymakers and public administrators dealing with fundamental problems in homeownership and control. Ownership and control has long been a central theme in the heated public debates in different countries over housing policy. How are notions about ownership and control tied to culture? What are some of the basic values about homeownership in western societies? What place has homeownership played in the life cycles of black and white families in the United States? What limitations to privatization exist in housing reform in Russia now? Who benefits or loses from public housing sales in Britain? How are multi-family public housing projects of the 1960s in the United States being converted to community-corporation control? What different kinds of tenant attitudes exist toward tenant management in two U.S. public housing developments? What type of role do nonprofit housing cooperatives in Canada play? These are only some of the questions that the ten chapters set out to answer. Reference lists accompany each of the chapters, adding to the usefulness of this public policy study for text purposes. -- Provided by publisher
