"[Sam Smith’s] work is not different from what quality journalism ought to be: truth-seeking, independent, fair-minded and debunking.... In ‘Shadows of Hope,’ Smith penetrates the darkness with the language and probing skills of such earlier independents as George Seldes, I. F. Stone and Tristam Coffin." —Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post
"ÂShadows of Hope is in the style and tradition of I. F. Stone. It carries the reader from the De-Constructionism of the Bush years—with its language largely a collection of predicates and prepositions—into a new political order of Post-Modernism—which is outside history, without continuity, loyalty, or reasonable stability in the meaning of words." —Eugene J. McCarthy
"In an age of sound bites and increasing political homogenization, ÂShadows of Hope is an encouraging sign that independent analysis is still alive and occasionally kicking." —Michael Rust, The Washington Times
"A progressive journalist offers a tonic, conversational critique of the Clinton era.... an accessible catalogue for those questioning the new status quo." —Kirkus Reviews
"... Smith’s contribution to [our] unabated sense of alienation is frightening and warrants consideration."Â —Library Journal
"ÂShadows of Hope is a clarion warning about the increasingly meaningless and undemocratic nature of sound-byte American politics." —Joan Hoff, author of ÂNixon Reconsidered
"ÂShadows of Hope is a lively, astute, and powerful critique of the Clinton approach to our national crises. It raises profound questions about our two-party system as a corruption of the democratic ideal." —Howard Zinn
"In a spirited and compelling style, editor Sam Smith gently weaves messages about community and individual empowerment.... Whatever the debate [his newsletter’s ] sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further—to the rest of the country and globe—to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds." —Utne Reader
"Smith knows as much, if not more, about the city of Washington as anyone. He has been writing about and fighting local problems for years." —Robert Cassidy, Chicago Tribune
Journalist Sam Smith asks, who is Bill Clinton and what can we learn from his personal background, his performance in the campaign, and his first year in office? Up-to-the-minute in terms of issues and Washington gossip, the book also reaches beyond the score-card approach to place Clinton within the culture—political, social, and economic—of our time. Smith tells a cautionary tale for all Americans.

Counselling Skills for Doctors

* What are intrinsic counselling skills?* How can doctors deploy them to help optimize the outcomes of clinical transactions with their patients?* Can such skills be taught and learned?This book is about the doctor-patient relationship. It is not about counselling per se but about certain counselling skills intrinsic to the medical consultation or clinical transaction. Together with other clinical skills, intrinsic counselling skills are needed to achieve clinical goals, satisfactory to both patient and doctor and appropriate to the clinical transaction and to the wider systems of healthcare. Clinical transactions can be intellectually, emotionally and sometimes physically demanding. Success depends on doctor and patient adequately fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities of their respective roles. But evidence shows that success also depends on doctors and patients forming a personal relationship of a quality capable of sustaining the sometimes arduous and distressing clinical work. Such a relationship depends on good communication, adequate mutual trust and the ability of doctors to empathise sufficiently with patients and their predicaments. Intrinsic counselling skills are those deployed in the essential task of harmonizing professional and interpersonal aspects of the clinical transaction.This book is recommended reading for doctors and medical students, post-registration vocational trainees and medical educators within medical schools.

How to rebuild our country so its politics aren't broken and its politicians aren't fixed."Neither right nor left but ahead" is the only political course for maverick journalist Sam Smith in this entertaining, myth-busting guide to a new American crossover politics. Witty and profound, opinionated and informative, Smith has important things to say to politically disaffected Americans of all stripes. This primer gives hope that the coughing engines and stripped gears of American democracy can be made to work again if we can recover our can-do spirit and practice a politics of common sense and common decency combined with a search for common ground. In chapters such as "How to figure out why you need this book a diagnostic test for political deficit disorder," "How to stay alive a poker player's guide to the environment," "How to find things out despite the media and other obstacles," and "How to get along with other Americans living next to 250 million people who aren't quite like you," Smith conjoins hilarity and wisdom, education and provocation, giving us what we need to fix America and have a good time while we're at it.
