We report here on recent developments in Israel on the issue of sex selection for nonmedical reasons by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Sex selection for medical reasons (such as in cases of sex-linked genetic diseases) is generally viewed as uncontroversial and legal in European and American law. Its use for nonmedical reasons (like “balancing” the gender ratio in a family) is generally illegal in European countries. In the United States, it is not illegal, although in the opinion of the Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), it is problematic. Thi

Background/Context In recent decades, professional historians have made considerable efforts to reestablish influence over the teaching of history in American schools. This movement has rested upon a generally accepted historical narrative based on four assertions; first, that during the 1900s and 1910s, professional historians dominated the curriculum of most public schools; second, that this control was usurped by the “educationist” authors of the 1916 Committee on the Social Studies; third, that this report recommended social studies courses that amalgamated history and the social sciences

Abstract:
This chapter presents discussions conducted by the national committees in Poland and Israel to examine history and geography textbooks and their treatment of the two nations. They were charged with drawing up recommendations for authors of textbooks in each country, with the aim of rectifying mistakes that could lead to the formation or aggravation of prejudices and distortions of the truth. The motives for this initiative varied. The political forces that began the negotiations were motivated by the pragmatic consideration that such a process would bring respectability in the eyes of some parts of the American and Jewish communities. Without a doubt, however, the influence of a group of Polish intellectuals who felt regret for the fate of the Jews in Poland and who understood the importance of the Jews' economic and cultural contributions to the history of Poland was of paramount importance. This led to intellectual interest in any subject connected to Judaism and its culture. The hundreds of books and articles published in recent years reflect this, as does the establishment of research centres and institutes concerned with Jewish history and culture.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Young’s work as founding chair of the Social Science Research Council between 1965 and 1968 in the Labour government led by Harold Wilson. It describes how Young responded to increasing anxieties about the nature of planning and expertise in the British civil service by arguing that the social sciences should play a more prominent role in government policy making. The chapter focuses mainly on Young’s Committee on the Next Thirty Years, and his proposals for an Institute of Forecasting Studies, which he unsuccessfully sought to develop as part of a transnational forecasting movement with the support of foreign intellectuals such as the American sociologist Daniel Bell and the French futurologist Bertrand de Jouvenel. The chapter also discusses the intellectual networks associated with the popular social science journal New Society, showing that this group promoted libertarian and state-critical perspectives on urban planning, and radical economic ideas like negative income tax. While the Next Thirty Years Committee was short-lived, it reflected Young’s career-long conviction that public policy should be guided by interdisciplinary social science.

Abstract:
Brazil is a multiethnic and pluricultural country, from the beginning of its development to its sovereign state, having as its premise, to defend and value its heritage and its ethnic and regional diversity; caring for and promoting human rights in the various collectivities. In addition, as a legal support mechanism, international provisions such as the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights, which contemplates indigenous peoples and deals with the consolidation of the right to prior consultation in order to reduce the disparities in power relations present in the neoliberal state. The advent of this convention laid the foundation for the protection of the human rights of indigenous peoples. The main objective of this research is the legal discussion of the case of the Xikrin indigenous people in relation to the S11D project of the mining company Vale, in the State of Pará which, according to the lawsuits, has promoted social and environmental impacts to their villages, thus urging the need to promote specific studies; such as the Prior Consultation to ascertain the due violations of the legal mechanisms related to the stages of environmental licensing, as well as the discussion for the creation and implementation of a joint monitoring and follow-up committee between the Xikrin and the managers of the S11D enterprise, for the inspection and elaboration of public policies that respect the human rights of the Xikrin people.

It looks more broadly at the developments within a relationship between school and community. Such questions provided the context and motivation for an international conference held in June 2006 at the Melton Centre for Jewish Education at the Hebrew University, organized with the support of the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Joint Distribution Committee, and the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education. This event was convened with the specific intention of encouraging researchers to think in new ways about the sociological functions of Jewish day schools.

Abstract:
Abstract Helping older individuals deal with end-of-life (EOL) issues is a topic of increasing significance to psychological and medical communities. In 1997, the Institute of Medicine issued its landmark report on improving care at the end of life (Field & Cassel, 1997). In 1998, the American Psychological Association (APA) established a working group on assisted suicide and EOL decisions that resulted in a report to the APA Board of Directors delineating historical changes in EOL care, including the relative invisibility of psychology in this arena and current and potential roles for psychologists interested in working with EOL issues (APA Ad Hoc Committee on End-ofLife Issues, 2000). In 2000, the APA established the Ad Hoc Committee on End-of-Life issues that helped to create an APA-sponsored Web site on this topic and also developed a fact sheet on EOL care based on behavioral and social science research findings. Most recently, in 2004, clinical practice guidelines for an interdisciplinary approach to palliative care were published, which represent a consensus of five major United States palliative-care organizations (National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care, 2004). Taken together, these publications provide a context for understanding this important domain of clinical practice.

Abstract:
Summarizing a decade of cartographic research in a short chapter is difficult: bias is inevitable, randomness is indefensible, breadth is tricky, and coherence is essential. Rather than attempt a broad, shallow survey, we chose to focus on some of the period’s significant conceptual frameworks, and relate each model to one or more related research papers published since A. Jon Kimerling (1989) summarized cartographic research for the first volume of Geography in America. This has been a transition period in which the discipline has witnessed several significant changes, including: (1) the nearly complete automation of the cartographic process and a proliferation of maps produced by desktop mapping systems and GISs; (2) the inclusion of significant amounts of core cartographic research—such as terrain modeling, geographic data structures, generalization, and interpolation—within the growing discipline of GIS; and (3) the wide adoption of the term “geographic visualization” to describe the dynamic, interactive component of cartography. These developments and the migration of more and more cartographic interests into the newly created discipline of GIS have raised concern about whether our discipline would survive. These doubts are offset by growing recognition that research and education on representational issues in GIS is critical, and that research in map design, symbolization, and generalization cannot be neglected. Cartography remains an independent discipline. Our two journals, Cartography and Geographic Information Science (recently renamed with Science replacing Systems) and Cartographic Perspectives, are thriving. American cartographic researchers also publish their work in Cartographica, GeoInfo Systems, GIS World, and the International Journal of Geographic Information Science. The Mapping Science Committee of the National Academy of Sciences and the recently formed Committee on Geography represent our interests at the national level, as do the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (a member organization of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping), the North American Cartographic Information Society, the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, and the AAG’s Cartography Specialty Group. During the decade our educators, researchers, and essayists have published many textbooks and monographs, including the sixth edition of Elements of Cartography (Robinson et al. 1995); several new editions of Borden Dent’s Cartography: Thematic Map Design (most recently 1999); Terry Slocum’s Thematic Cartography and Visualization (1999); John Snyder’s (1993) seminal work on projections, Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections; Alan MacEachren’s How Maps Work (1995); Denis Wood’s (1992) social critique of cartography, The Power of Maps; and a series of books by Mark Monmonier, including Maps with the News: The Development of American Journalistic Cartography (1989b), How to Lie with Maps (1991, rev. 1996), Mapping it Out: Expository Cartography for the Humanities and Social Sciences (1993), Drawing the Line: Tales of Maps and Cartocontroversy (1995), Cartographies of Danger: Mapping Hazards in America (1997), and Air Apparent: How Meteorologists Learned to Map, Predict, and Dramatize the Weather (1999).

Abstract:
How did everyone become depressed? A depression needed to be created that could be applied to everyone. The drafters of the third edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) DSM series did this in 1980 by creating major depression. At the same time, the drafters completed the demolition of the nerve syndrome, which had been slowly unraveling. The analysts had removed neurotic depression from the nervous syndrome; psychiatry removed anxiety from the larger nervous picture with the diagnosis mixed anxiety-depression. And DSM-III completed the job by separating completely anxiety and depression, and fragmenting anxiety into a volley of meaningless microsyndromes. Fatigue was left completely out of the picture and ceased to be a psychiatric ailment. And obsessive thoughts had long vanished from the nervous picture into the vast anxiety basin, where they would tumble about with social anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and the like. Like moving pieces of furniture from the room, all the furniture was removed from the nervous room except depression. Of the unitary diagnosis of nerves, a disease of the entire body, nothing was left except major depression, an expandable diagnosis that could be applied to almost the entire population—and a series of minianxiety diagnoses pseudospecific for different settings in which anxiety might arise: parties (social anxiety disorder), trauma (posttraumatic stress disorder), public places (agoraphobia), and so forth. The shattering of the nervous syndrome was complete. In February 1973 the Board of the American Psychiatric Association decided that in the forthcoming edition of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, scheduled for 1979, some minor terminological clarifications were necessary in the input of American psychiatry, including issues such as “problem-oriented records” and how, exactly, to classify levels of disabilities. These were not big problems, but they would necessitate another edition of the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual , the second edition of which has appeared in 1968 ; the Board asked the APA’s Reference Committee to get cracking, and in April the Reference Committee asked the Council on Research and Development to appoint a Task Force to revise DSM-II.

Abstract:
Few biologists today have likely heard of cell biologist Alex Novikoff (1913–1987) (Figure 3.1). But the fruits of his science are well known. He helped discover the cell organelle called the lysosome. In 1955 he visualized what Christian de Duve had characterized only by chemical means. He documented the first known enzyme of the Golgi body, another cell organelle. He developed ways to stain lysosomes and peroxisomes (also cell organelles) that were critical to identifying them and studying them with the electron microscope. Novikoff also was targeted by the anti-Communist movement in the mid-twentieth century. In 1953 he was dismissed from the University of Vermont for declining to answer questions before a congressional committee. In 1974 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. His FBI file then contained 822 pages. Novikoff ’s fascinating case raises important issues about how science and political ideology relate. In 1982 the American Society for Cell Biology honored Novikoff with its prestigious E. B. Wilson Award for his foundational contributions to the emerging field. Yet much earlier, in the late 1930s, he was indeed a member of the Communist Party. For him, it expressed a quest for social justice and an appreciation of Karl Marx’s scientific posture toward society. While he researched experimental embryology as a PhD student at Columbia University, he also helped write and distribute the Communist newsletter at Brooklyn College, where he taught. When the college tried to disrupt the teachers’ union, Novikoff was secretly listed as a suspected Communist. When World War II began, Novikoff wanted to serve the nation. He applied for a medical commission in the military. He was twice denied, however, owing to doubts about his loyalty. He later consulted for the army on two biological films—until it found his vague Communist record. (One wonders: Did someone imagine that he could link enzymes and carbohydrate metabolism to the violent overthrow of the US government?) Later, Novikoff lost his faculty position—not for any political activity but for invoking the Fifth Amendment in anti-Communist hearings, and despite recommendations from fellow faculty describing his “tireless” research efforts.
