Modern Iran: A Volume in the Comparative Societies Series
Author: Grant Farr
One in a series of short books devoted to different countries that offers much-needed cross-cultural and global material to instructors. Used alongside an introductory sociology text, in courses on the Middle East or Iran, or as a supplement in courses on comparative societies, comparative politics, comparative economics, or social stratification, this book brings a rich global perspective into the undergraduate classroom. The opening chapter establishes historical and cultural context, while subsequent chapters focus on the basic institutions, social stratification, social problems and social change. The chapter organization is typical of a standard introductory sociology text, making it easy to use in any class. In Modern Iran, the author examines such important topics as the treatment of women, the problems of civil rights abuse, and the role of Iran as a terrorist state, while also portraying the richness of Iranian history and culture, the major Iranian institutions and how they work, and the nature of Iranian social structure, including stratification.

Essays on Nursing Leadership
Author: Claire M Fagin
"This collection of works will lend valuable insights into...current challenges..from one of the masters....I personally want to thank Clare for making this collection available so that many more will be inspired by her, as I and many others have been."--from the foreword by Pamela J. Maraldo, PhD, RN, FAAN
These selections represent the best of Claire M. Fagin's writings over a 30-year period. In her direct and vivid style, she shares many of the skills necessary to become a nurse leader, and passionately discusses many of the issues facing health care in which nurses can play a leadership role.
Sharon K. Holmberg
This book is a collection of essays reflecting both the great diversity in a nursing career and an emphasis on strong, effective nursing leaders in a variety of healthcare settings. The author's goal is to nurture the enormous leadership potential of nurses through analysis of past and present developments in healthcare, and by providing descriptions of professional leadership. Having held leadership roles in clinical settings and significant leadership roles in nursing education and higher education administration, this credible authority on leadership has assembled selected publications demonstrating leadership for students, practicing nurses, and nursing leaders as well as people interested in understanding the scope and nature of nursing. Leadership roles in professional practice, education, and research are examined, with a focus on improving healthcare, enhancing professional practice, and developing care systems that are responsive to patient needs. Because the selected essays encompass a time frame from 1964 to 1996, an historical perspective can be contrasted with current practices. Descriptions of the development of nursing practice and associated nursing education and administration practices are particularly interesting. Current healthcare trends such as for-profit, corporate managed care are critically examined, with rationale for why competitive market theories cannot be applied to the care of the sick, vulnerable, elderly, and dying if we are to continue to survive as a civil society. This is a fine collection of essays on nursing leadership by an outstanding nursing leader. The essayists give a clear, descriptive picture of the evolutionary developments in Americannursing practice and education, but also address current healthcare themes and values held by nurses that are considered extremely relevant factors in the overall healthcare agenda. The role of nursing leaders is described as taking an active position on values of putting patients first, maintaining efforts to achieve universal healthcare, and facilitating the development of quality standards. This will require strong, vocal, active nursing leaders.

Audience: Having held leadership roles in clinical settings and significant leadership roles in nursing education and higher education administration, this credible authority on leadership has assembled selected publications demonstrating leadership for students, practicing nurses, and nursing leaders as well as people interested in understanding the scope and nature of nursing.
Features: Leadership roles in professional practice, education, and research are examined, with a focus on improving healthcare, enhancing professional practice, and developing care systems that are responsive to patient needs. Because the selected essays encompass a time frame from 1964 to 1996, an historical perspective can be contrasted with current practices.
