Human Resources at the Cabinet's Table: A Guidebook for HR Transformation in Higher Education serves as a guide to refocus and expand the HR function within higher education in two significant ways. First, it conveys the value and urgency of bringing HR to the executive table, showing how actions, policies, and reinforcements can align with and support the overall strategic purpose and vision of the institution. Second, it targets the needs of HR leadership and staff members within the higher education community by providing a detailed organizational development process to accomplish an HR paradigm shift. Using real-life case studies and an ongoing theme of leadership of change, the book methodically outlines successful transition and change, along with the forces that drive it. Rich in valuable insight, the book challenges the boundaries of HR in higher education in bringing this timely topic to the academic agenda. The result is a transformative HR function partnering with stakeholders to contribute a “distinctive advantage” for the institution.

The American President's Cabinet examines the very different ways in which the seven presidents from Kennedy to Bush used the institution of the cabinet. It considers the way presidents appoint cabinet members as well as the conduct of cabinet meetings. It also studies the sometimes fraught relationships between the cabinet members, working in the various departments scattered throughout Washington, and those who work in the White House itself in the Executive Office of the President. A postscript on the Clinton cabinet is also included.

This paper discusses Jamaica’s Thirteenth Review Under the Arrangement Under the Extended Fund Facility. Program implementation is on track. The authorities’ continued commitment to the demanding reform program even in the fourth year of the IMF-supported program is commendable. All quantitative performance criteria to be completed by the end of June 2016, as well as the continuous quantitative program targets and structural benchmarks, have been met. Domestic confidence indicators are at an all-time high, and there are signs of improving economic activity, including agricultural recovery, strong performance in tourism and manufacturing, and stronger private sector credit growth. Higher growth dividends, more job creation, and improved living standards will be essential to continued social support for the reform agenda.

Though more than 150,000 AIDS-related deaths have been reported worldwide and between 5 and 10 million people are now infected with its precursor, HIV-1, the deadly and relatively new AIDS virus is still a mystery. AIDS and the Social Sciences: Common Threads, an enlightening examination of the AIDS epidemic from the viewpoints of various social sciences, provides us with clues to that mystery. The essays' original research and firsthand accounts from social scientists offer an excellent overview of the research agendas and directions for a disease that is an increasing presence in our society. Sociologists, geographers, anthropologists, psychologists, social workers, and people in government agencies converge in this book to discuss the social, political, economic, legal, moral, and ethical issues related to AIDS. Their methods of approaching the study of AIDS range from a case study approach to survey research to participant observation. Among the topics examined in this distinctive collection are the geographic origins of AIDS, the psychosocial aspects of AIDS, the impact of AIDS on women and children, and the federal funding patterns of AIDS-related research. One chapter traces the diffusion of the pandemic in major urban areas, smaller cities, and finally rural America. Another documents the devastating impact the disease has had on central and East Africa, some areas of which have as many as one in four adults who are HIV-infected. AIDS and the Social Sciences could serve as a primary or supplemental text for college courses and is an important resource for anyone interested in social science or public health.
