<p>The evolution of the welfare state in Europe can be seen as a major experiment in social organization. In this book a number of economists and sociologists set out the lessons that can be learned from the welfare state experiment, as evidenced by the Swedish case. The authors look at the welfare state from the perspective of distribution and redistribution and present a diverse and complex picture of its equality-generating capacities. This illuminating study will be of special value to sociologists, economists, and political scientists.</p>

Historically-oriented studies of the arms race tend to focus on major weapons and ignore the associated subsystems. In this book, the authors consider one subsystem--the navigation instruments and land-based transmitters--of the submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) system. Paying particular attention to the Loran-C and Omega navigational units, the authors are able to draw conclusions on the accuracy of submarine-launched missiles and the reliability of America's sea-based nuclear deterrent.
