Analyzing the War on Poverty, theories of the culture of poverty and the underclass, the effects of Reaganomics, and the 1996 welfare reform, Stricker demonstrates that most antipoverty approaches are futile without the presence (or creation) of good jobs. He argues that a serious public debate is needed about the job situation; social programs must be redesigned, a national health care program must be developed, and economic inequality must be addressed. If we actually want to reduce poverty significantly, he says, we must expand decent jobs and government income programs, redirecting nationa

Warum fühlen wir uns nicht richtig wohl, obwohl wir doch so viel besitzen? Warum streben wir ständig nach Höherem, Besserem und Teurerem? Was ist die Motivation dafür - für das Phänomen Luxus? Wolfgang Stricker greift hier ein Thema auf, das so alt zu sein scheint wie die Zivilisation selbst, mit dem die heutige, moderne Welt aber scheinbar noch immer nicht richtig umzugehen weiß. Durch eigene Analysen und Recherchen wie auch durch Beobachtungen anderer Spezialisten versucht der Autor die Fragen rund um die Thematik Luxus zu klären und geht mit der geschichtlichen Entwicklung von Luxu

Meredith Stricker’s Tenderness Shore is a fierce and luminous collection of poetry that explores the iconography of the Muse as a wilderness retreat for the imagination. Opening with a series of exchanges with Sappho-Plato’s "tenth muse"-in letters, shopping lists, postcards, choreography, and maps, the delving into the landscape of Lesbos using a lexicon to track the roots and impulses of lyrics, the collection closes with encounters among a chorus of muses: Sappho, Camus, Piaf, and birds speaking in Hungarian. Tenderness Shore affirms that the Muse, or the human capacity to m

Volume 14 is an updated version of Volume 10 in the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology series. This time, Edward Stricker is joined by co-editor Stephen Woods, whose psychiatry affiliation balances Dr. Stricker’s more physiological approach. Volume 14 provides the reader with a wide variety of perspectives on the enormous changes that have occurred in the study of food and fluid intake since the first edition of Neurobiology of Food and Fluid Intake published 14 years ago. As with the first edition, multiple viewpoints on issues of clinical significance and basic studies using laborato

The depth and intensity of the transformation in Eastern and Central Europe in the 1980’s and 1990’s took most diplomats and political commentators by surprise. Needless to say, European politics now looks completely different from how it did during the stale years of the Cold War. This volume is an in-depth analysis of one aspect of the transformation - namely the Baltic States’ struggle to regain the statehood they had lost in the Soviet occupation in June 1940. It analyses the claim of illegality of the Soviet occupation, arguments about possible prescription, the legal co
