The seventh edition of this classic guide to social administration was published in 1990, and Dr Muriel Brown and Dr Sarah Payne have now fully updated the text to take into account changes in legislation and social practice. The book continues to provide essential, up-to-date, information about social problems and the structure and working of the social services. It also identifies the main lines of development in social legislation and clarifies the issues that dominate social policy. Major changes to provision in social security, health, education, employment and personal social services have been incorporated and the conflicts around these changes explored. The trend towards the privatization of welfare and the centralizing role of the state are discussed in the context of economic change.First published in 1969, this text will be essential reading for all students, lecturers and professionals in social policy, sociology, policy-making

It is well known that women live longer than men but will suffer higher levels of illness and poor health during their lifetimes. It is also becoming increasingly well-known that women form the majority of those who are poor in Western societies, as lone mothers, older women, women caring for children in two parent households and as the majority of those who are low earners. Sarah Payne's textbook focuses on these two aspects of women's lives: women's experience of poverty and deprivation; and women's health experience. In particular, she focuses on how the experience of poverty and the threat of poverty affects women's health. Much of the existing research on poverty has often obscured women's experiences and the operation of gender in creating risk factors - similarly, the literature on inequalities in health has not adequately covered the specific experience of women. "Women, Health and Poverty," aims to rectify this by drawing together the arguments about women's poorer health with those concerning women's greater risk of poverty, and assessing the ways in women have shared an experience mediated by gender. The book also explores the relevance of other dimensions of social inequality - such as race, class, age and disability - in relation to gender.

Do you want to lose weight, or do you want to keep muscle and lose fat? A diet can help you lose weight, but you can use body composition exercises to keep the muscle along the way. If you want to change your body's shape, you'll want to decrease your body fat percent. Surprisingly, this could mean an increase in your weight. This is because muscle weighs more than fat. As you lose fat and gain muscle, the net result may be a small increase on the scale.
