Modern Welfare States analyzes the political, economic, and social challenges facing three small, affluent, industrialized democracies: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The emphasis is contemporary, but the analysis covers political history, governmental institutions, policy making, parties, interest groups, political socialization and political culture. Advanced comparative politics and public policy researchers, readers interested in modern Scandinavia, or anyone interested in economic and political issues will find Modern Welfare States a source of stimulating ideas.The focus upon transfer payments, social welfare policy, economic planning, labor market measures, industrial relations, and measures to promote economic and industrial democracy comprise what the authors call the Scandinavian model. This model is the main source of foreign interest in Scandinavian politics, contemporary history, and social science. The comparative and interdisciplinary focus with Scandinavia (upon three countries, rather than a single one) sharpen the book's theme and, thus, will appeal to a broader audience than a single-country study.

Einhorn and Logue analyze the political, economic, and social challenges facing five small, affluent, and advanced industrial democracies in Scandinavia: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Updated and expanded from its successful predecessor, this edition emphasizes how global and European developments have affected democratic policymaking in areas such as:
• Social welfare policy
• Employment policy
• Labor relations
• Economic policy
• Social change
A comprehensive yet accessible survey of political history, governmental institutions, policymaking, political parties, interest groups, political culture, and foreign relations is also included. The comparative and interdisciplinary focus makes this a stimulating source of ideas for anyone interested in democracy and social justice in the global era.

At the Augusta National Golf Course, home of the U.S. Open, the grass is green and the world's most famous golfers are gathered.  It looks as if it's going to be another splendid tournament.  That is until Melvin Newton's body is found in Eisenhower Pond, the apparent victim of a suicide.  But what looks like suicide to most, looks like murder to Morris, a retired sportswriter, and his lady friend Sullivan.Melvin Newton, a wealthy businessman and elite member of the club, is the type of man to be killed, not the type to kill himself, Morris reflects.  He was a man with many enemies and few friends.  But the list of suspects is enormous enough for Morris to include himself.  Who didn't wish this man dead?Play at the tournament progresses normally as does Morris's search for a killer.  Then, Gerald Acton turns up dead in a Port-O-Let, stabbed through the heart.  Acton is another man with many enemies and Morris and Sullivan begin to whittle away at the possible suspects.  Together, they creep around the course looking for clues and searching their memories when the trail seems to lead to an old enemy who may just turn out to be an old friend.Set against the background of the famous tournament, Logue crafts a wonderfully inventive mystery, full of rich characters, good golf and enough plot twists to astonish.

But this year the wind and rains won't stop. And a corporate tycoon has dropped dead in The Lodge, crowded with celebrities.For jaded veteran golf writer John Morris and his beautiful globe-trotting lover, Julia Sullivan, it's more than a dramatic story: it's a black eye on golf's most stellar event. Now, as Morris and Sullivan try to solve the murder, they find a collision of ambition, talent, and greed that reaches from the golden days of Hollywood to the windswept Monterey Peninsula--where a killer's game has just begun...
