DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Critical Masses and Critical Choices examines American attitudes on issues of national and international security. Based on over 13,000 in-depth interviews conducted over a ten-year period, Kerry Herron and Hank Jenkins-Smith have created a unique and rich set of data providing insights into public opinion on nuclear deterrence, terrorism, and other security issues from the end of the Cold War to the present day. Their goal is to shed light not only on changes in public opinion about a range of security-related policy issues, but also to gauge the depth of the public's actual understanding of these matters. Prior to this study, the predominant view held that the American people were incapable of articulate and consistent thought on complex political subjects. This book overturns that notion and demonstrates the sometimes surprisingly cogent positions held by ordinary members of the public on intricate national issues.The book's solid data, based on long-term studies, combined with crisp writing and often startling conclusions, will appeal to a wide range of readers: scholars, journalists, and policy makers. Critical Masses and Critical Choices is the definitive account of the change in public perceptions on security threats and reactive strategies from the early 1990s to the post 9/11 period. This broad and highly original study will prove an indispensable tool for policy makers and scholars alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Quality of life" is an awesomely sweeping concept, involving all those concerns traditionally associated with "standard of living" and the much more amorphous questions of attitude, value, meaning and purpose. There is no GNP for measuring the quality of life. To define it for an individual is most difficult; to define it for the life of a society, perhaps impossible. In a nation that has prized diversity, each person pursues happiness in very different ways. The essays in this volume cover both the philosophic perceptions so deeply infused with the quality of life and the more pragmatic elements which most people recognize as being in some way related to quality. The contributors ask: What is the quality of life? How is it perceived? What contributes to it? Can quality be measured? They offer a detailed analysis of the measurement of quality: a place to live; a job to earn one's keep; education to prepare for life; health to maintain it; a life of dignity and identity after one leaves the work force, as well as the institutional arrangements through which all of this will or will not be accomplished. The work is a stimulating, thought-provoking examination of an area of great concern in America today. The goal of quality in the lives of all Americans deserves all the inventiveness and courage of which this nation is capable. -- Provided by publisher
