TL;DR: Horowitz et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the capacity of American judges to make and implement social policy and concluded that the resources of the courts are not adequate to the new challenges confronting them.
Abstract: In recent years, the power of American judges to make social policy has been significantly broadened. The courts have reached into many matters once thought to be beyond the customary scope of judicial decisionmaking: education and employment policy, environmental issues, prison and hospital management, and welfare administration--to name a few. This new judicial activity can be traced to various sources, among them the emergence of public interest law firms and interest groups committed to social change through the courts, and to various changes in the law itself that have made access to the courts easier. The propensity for bringing difficult social questions to the judiciary for resolution is likely to persist. This book is the first comprehensive study of the capacity of courts to make and implement social policy. Donald L. Horowitz, a lawyer and social scientist, traces the imprint of the judicial process on the policies that emerge from it. He focuses on a number of important questions: how issues emerge in litigation, how courts obtain their information, how judges use social science data, how legal solutions to social problems are devised, and what happens to judge-made social policy after decrees leave the court house. After a general analysis of the adjudication process as it bears on social policymaking, the author presents four cases studies of litigation involving urban affairs, educational resources, juvenile courts and delinquency, and policy behavior. In each, the assumption and evidence with which the courts approached their policy problems are matched against data about the social settings from which the cases arose and the effects the decrees had. The concern throughout the book is to relate the policy process to the policy outcome. From his analysis of adjudication and the findings of his case studies the author concludes that the resources of the courts are not adequate to the new challenges confronting them. He suggests various improvements, but warns against changes that might impair the traditional strengths of the judicial process.
TL;DR: In this article, the power amplifier in the form of a control valve communicates the pressure fluid duct with the non-return valve piston to open the nonreturn valve, allowing a flow between the upper working cylinder chamber and the lower cylinder chamber so that the piston is moved into a safety position.
Abstract: Upon reception of a safety signal, the power amplifier in the form of a control valve communicates the pressure fluid duct with the non-return valve piston to open the non-return valve. This allows a flow between the upper working cylinder chamber and the lower cylinder chamber so that the piston is moved into a safety position. Should the pressure in the fluid duct be insufficient, the power amplifier is switched into communication with the upper working cylinder to cause the non-return valve to open. This also allows a flow between the two cylinder chambers.
TL;DR: The history of childbirth in America can be traced back to colonial days, when childbirth was a social event, and moves on to the gradual medicalization of childbirth as doctors forced midwives out of business and to the home-birth movement of the 1980's.
Abstract: This lively history of childbirth begins with colonial days, when childbirth was a social event, and moves on to the gradual medicalization of childbirth in America as doctors forced midwives out of business and to the home-birth movement of the 1980's. Widely praised when it was first published in 1977, the book has now been expanded to bring the story up to date. In a new chapter and epilogue, Richard and Dorothy Wertz discuss the recent focus on delivering perfect babies, with its emphasis on technology, prenatal testing, and Caesarean sections. They argue that there are many viable alternatives-including out-of-hospital births-in the search for the best birthing system. Review of the first edition: \"Highly readable, extensively documented, and well illustrated...A welcome addition to American social history and women's studies. It can also be read with profit by health planners, hospital administrators, 'consumers' of health care, and all those who are concerned with improving the circumstances associated with childbirth.\" -Claire Elizabeth Fox, bulletin of the History of Medicine \"A fascinating, brilliantly documented history not merely of childbirth, but of men's attitudes towards women, the effect of a burgeoning medical profession on our very conception of maternity and motherhood, and the influence of religion on medical technology and science.\"-Thomas J. Cottle, Boston Globe \"This superb book...is both an impeccably documented recitation of the chronological history of medical intervention in American childbirth and a sociological analysis of the various meanings given to childbirth by individuals, interested groups, and American society as a whole.\"-Barbara Howe, American Journal of Sociology

TL;DR: The nineteen contributors to this volume include some of the world's leading urbanists and planners as discussed by the authors, who agree that urban planners now, more than ever before, are able to manipulate the environment and develop well-designed cities and rural areas.
Abstract: The nineteen contributors to this volume include some of the world's leading urbanists and planners. They agree that urban planners now, more than ever before, are able to manipulate the environment and develop well-designed cities and rural areas. 'A book which raises so many questions in the reader's mind is certainly a good contribution toward a greater understanding of the urbanization process and, hopefully, toward the formulation of an urban theory. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in the current trends or the future of urban development.' -- Journal of the American Institute of Planners, January 1978
