Forensic Odontology: Principles and Practice details the aspects necessary to become an accomplished forensic odontologist, including an illustration of the skills necessary to become an expert witness. The book is ideal for both the experienced and novice forensic odontologist, covering many fields of expertise, including civil and criminal matters. The civil side involves standard of care and personal injury matters, while the criminal side involves not only dental identification, but management of mass fatality incidents, age assessment, child and elder abuse, and bitemark analysis.

First published in 1985, Uneven Development in Southern Europe is an essential reference in the analysis of the significant changes that have taken place within southern Europe. The shifts within the region’s economic, political and social structures raise important questions about the nature of uneven development, the meaning of dependency and the political consequences of social change. These underlying processes are reflected in debates on issues such as the protracted process of the Mediterranean enlargement of the European Community, the plight of ‘guest workers’ in northern Europe and the competition presented by goods and produce from southern Europe.

Within the broad framework of tendencies in the movements of labour and capital that are outlined in the introduction, successive chapters examine the regional and national impact of labour migration and return, evaluate the social consequences of new forms of agricultural production or industrial investment and demonstrate the relationships between uneven development and the growing crisis of legitimacy of southern European states. The emphasis on detailed case studies ensures that the key theoretical questions are addressed with unusual precision, while individual chapters also provide useful insights for those interested in France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain or Turkey in their own right. The book will be of interest to students of development, economy, history and migration.

This is the final edition of a memoir by James Lewis. From law school to retirement in Albuquerque, NM, enjoy the memories of a civil rights lawyer from New York, to Springfield, to Albuquerque. Enjoy the introduction below.

On July 28, 1940, in New York City, in the afternoon, Mom (Desna) delivers me into this world, and I meet my Dad (Stephen) and my older brother (Steve Jr). When World War II begins, we follow Dad while he serves in the Navy, ordering equipment. After the war, Dad returns to a successful business career, and we move to the New York suburbs.

My life is comfortable, with good schools and summer camps. I read a lot, bike a lot and play sports. In my teen years, I browse through my parents'' library and read John Hersey''s "The Wall" and "Hiroshima," about life and death in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust and in Hiroshima just before and right after the Atomic Bomb, and I begin to question the world outside my well-protected environment-a world where some people destroy others. In high school, I write a paper that compares the love and caring that many extend to others with the opposites of caring: hate and indifference. Then in my senior year, I write a 20-page research paper about conformity, asking the basic question in David Riesman''s "The Lonely Crowd:" are we independent and "hardened for voyages" or dependent and "softened for encounters?"

When pilots sit around an airport or get together at a hotel lounge for beers or cocktails, theyre almost certain to regale each other, and anyone else who will listen, with embellished tales of their greatest aviation exploits. The longer these stories continue, the more the similarities grow between the pilots war stories and fish stories. As the night wears on, the exploits they share are likely to grow more and more elaborate and outlandish.

In the spirit of those war stories, author Jim Lewis, who has worked as a professional pilot since the mid-sixties, offers his share of stories from his experiences.

Many of these short stories are the result of mistakes in judgment, while others arose from deliberate decisions to proceed made from ignorance. A few were simply experiences that came with being a professional pilot, and two or three were blatant rule breaking. Lewis recalls landing in a soybean field, buzzing a nuclear submarine, flying under a bridge, running low on fuel, and tasting life in the cockpit of a jet liner. Some of his tales are humorous, while others take on a more dangerous nature. All of them, however, offer a lesson for others to learn.
