This book presents a comparative analysis of mental health policy in Western Europe and North America. It also considers how and why different policies have developed.
Simon Goodwin examines the transition from institutional to community-based models of care for people with mental health problems, identifying variations in the inception, pace and style in which community-based service provision has emerged in different countries. Goodwin also assesses the problems and issues that have arisen as a result of the shift towards more community-based systems of care and treatment, and argues...

In the past decade, our picture of star and cluster formation has changed hugely and we now believe that many — if not most — stars form in clusters, and the process of star and cluster formation is extremely rapid and dynamic. This book provides an overview of our current understanding of the formation and evolution of star clusters and it covers our understanding of how gas turns into stars and the structure and kinematics of very young star forming regions. The authors then describe how we think these young star forming regions evolve into clusters before destroying...

This volume contains the proceedings from the conference "The Labyrinth of Star Formation" that was held in Crete, Greece, in June 2012, to honour the contributions to the study of star formation made by Professor Anthony Whitworth of Cardiff University.
The book covers many aspects of theoretical and observational star formation: low-mass star formation; young circumstellar discs; computational methods; triggered star formation; the stellar initial mass function; high-mass star formation and stellar clusters. Each section starts with a review paper, followed by papers discussing...
