The Spirit of American Government

It is the purpose of this volume to trace the influence of our constitutional system upon the political conditions which exist in this country to-day.

A New Health System for the 21st Century

The American health care delivery system is in need of fundamental change. Many patients, doctors, nurses, and health care leaders are concerned that the care delivered is not, essentially, the care we should receive (Donelan et al., 1999; Reed and St. Peter, 1997; Shindul-Rothschild et al., 1996; Taylor, 2001). The frustration levels of both patients and clinicians have probably never been hi…

The Legal Environment and Business Law

Some legal systems serve these purposes better than others. Although a nation ruled by an authoritarian government may keep the peace and maintain the status quo, i…
