This edition, published by Greenwood Press (1998, $22.95), has a new afterword. The book covers the social construction of pregnancy; prenatal testing procedures; genetic counseling from the counselors' and clients' perspective; choices and risk assessment in seeking prenatal testing; dealing with the consequences; and ethical and policy issues. The new Afterword addresses the spread of prenatal testing, the changing meanings of pregnancy, and the perils and promises of the Human Genome Project. Here is an excerpt from a British review of the hard-cover edition: "The literature the authors have drawn on reflects their own backgrounds in medical sociology, anthropology, and health policy. The breadth of analysis makes this book a significant addition to other acccounts of research into women's experiences of prenatal testing and is important reading for [health care providers and students]." You may order the book from Greenwood Press (tel. 203-226-3571, fax 203-222-1502). If you are teaching any of the above courses please contact me. I may be able to get you a free exam copy (but no guarantees).

The AIDS Crisis: A Documentary History. (Primary Documents in American History and Contemporary Issues). Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1998. "AIDS has grown in just two decades from a rare disease to one that has already killed millions of men, women, and children worldwide. To help high school and college students understand the history and current status of AIDS as a social, political, psychological, public health, and cultural phenomenon, this documentary history provides 228 short and highly readable selections from primary and secondary sources of information about AIDS and HIV. Its scope covers the entire history of the epidemic from its beginnings to early 1997. The documents, many of which cannot easily be found elsewhere, will help the reader to understand and debate the many perspectives and points of view on this controversial topic. "Douglas A. Feldman, one of the country's leading specialists in international and domestic AIDS social research, and Julia Wang Miller, a research consultant, have selected documents and provided explanatory introductions to them to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the sociocultural ramifications of AIDS. Following a narrative historical overview of the AIDS crisis, the work is organized into nine topical chapters: the history of HIV/AIDS; the impact of the epidemic in the United States and globally; HIV/AIDS within communities and populations; AIDS in the developing world; the human side of AIDS; the politics of AIDS; education and behavioral change; legal and ethical issues; and the future of AIDS. Each chapter contains an introductory narrative overview of the topic, brief explanatory introduction to each document, and list of suggested readings. A glossary of terms and an AIDS resource directory of organizations to contact for further information complete the work. This important documentary history belongs on the shelves of every public school and college and university library.

I was wondering if everyone could do me a favor and send me the pay information and amount of work require for GTA's and part-time instructors (PTI's) in your departments. For example, a PTI with a PhD (or ABD) at Georgia State University teaching a three credit course of 70 or less students makes $2,000 a semester, or about $500 a month (before taxes). Someone with their masters makes $1600. For that class you have to do all the lecturing, grading, photocopying, etc. Now a colleague of mine at a comparable state school in the West makes $1200 a month for the same amount of work in an into course for 50 students. FYI, we had a meeting yesterday at GA State to address adjunct faculty's concerns and forming a PTI/GTA association. The principle organizer was Tom Coffin (a sociologist), and I have to give a shout out and thank Tom for a great discussion. About 40% of all undergrad classes are taught by adjunct faculty at GA State, but the highest paid tem/pt instructor makes less than half of what the least paid full-time non-tenure track faculty member makes for doing an equivalent amount of work. In addition, adjuncts in the sociology department do not have direct access to computers, telephones, or adequate officer space and support services (four of us share a 12X10 office with one phone without voicemail and no computers). Personally, I would probably teach even if they did not pay me. I really enjoy it and since I am still relatively young (and ABD), I need the experience. Plus I have a full-time research position that I love and that pays the bills. The only ideological concern that I have is over equity. I do not like to feel unappreciated or that my work is not considered as valuable as someone else doing the same job. Now, I have a tremendous amount of respect for most of the faculty at the sociology department and certainly realize that they are far more experienced and credentialed than I. I am starting to feel, however, that perhaps I should switch my teaching approach to "canned" lectures and multiple choice scantron exams, rather than the essay questions and experiential assignments that I presently assign. The students certainly won't get as much out of it, but it would be a more efficient use of my time and there would be no disincentive for me not to. Also, starting next quarter I will be also teaching at a private college that is going to pay me pay me 150% of what GA State does for a class with one-third the students. Wouldn't it make more sense for me to devote my time and energy (essays and other assignments) to that class rather than those ar GA State? What do those of you older and wiser than me suggest?

It was narrated by Charlayne Hunter-Gault for PBS. It was, indeed, very powerful. I used it in the late 70s and 80s to introduce a medical sociology course that focused on uneven development and inequality within medicine. As Prof. Twaddle notes, the contrast between the public and private facility was striking, and I would organize the course around the question of "how is this possible?" Dale J.

It is the story of how they cope as a couple with Barbara's diagnosis and ultimately death from advanced stage breast cancer. Barbara was a sociologist and together she and Sandy documented aspects of the last three year of their life together on video. It's very moving. Throughout, you get sincere and deeply thoughtful expressions of how they are experiencing the illness socially, personally, and spiritually. Importantly, you get perspectives from both the person who is ill and that person's intimate partner. It is 43 minutes long, but you need to talk about it afterward. My students seemed to really appreciate it. The film is real gift. It was produced by Sandbar Productions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn A.
