In our ... society, the rights and responsibilities of all people are regulated by a vast array of court decisions, laws, rules, and regulations. Young people, because of their minority, are particularly subject to regulation. Yet they generally have less access to assistance to guide them through the maze of governing authorities and systems. As a result, [they] turn to human service providers ... for help. Unfortunately, human service providers are frequently unable to offer informed assistance because of a lack of training in the law ... Indeed, very few attorneys have broad knowledge about the rights and responsibilities of young people. The applicable law is scattered throughout hundreds of volumes of court reporters, statutes, and regulations and is largely inaccessible to all except those who specialize in the field. Professionals who work with young people ... need ... an explanatory manual to "pull together" these disparate laws into a single, comprehensive volume. That is the purpose of this manual. [It is for] "non-lawyers," although attorneys should find it a useful tool of first reference [Cont. in TofC].

"Adulthood is taken for granted. It connotes the end of childhood, the resolution to the "storm and stress" period of adolescence. This conception is strongly entrenched in the sociology of youth and the sociology of the life course as well as in the policy arena. At the same time, adulthood itself remains unarticulated; journey's end remains conceptually fixed and theoretically uncontested. Adulthood, then, is both central to the social imagination and neglected as an area of sociological investigation, something that has been noted by sociologists over the last four decades. Going beyond the overwhelmingly psychological literature, this book draws on original qualitative research and theories of social recognition and thus presents a first step towards filling an important gap in our understanding of the meaning of adulthood."--pub. desc.

This anthology is an exciting and vibrant contribution to the ongoing debate about international human rights. Drawn largely from materials published in the Fifteenth Anniversary issue of "Society "magazine, but incorporating outside essays as well, the editor has assembled a collection of articles written by noted scholars and policymakers. The articles approach the theme of human rights from a variety of perspectives, including the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations, children's rights, media coverage of human rights conflicts, and the interplay between human rights and world resources. Specific essays focus on Soviet Jewish emigration, foreign nationals and American law, and terrorism. General pieces discuss the nature and prospects of human rights in a changing international context. "Contributors: "Elise Boulding, Adda B. Bozeman, Tom J. Farer, A.
