While the gambling industry is indisputably large and powerful, it has received little attention from political scientists. Utilizing a variety of perspectives and techniques, von Herrmann analyzes gambling's recent expansion, finding public attitudes have been shaped both by government policies and the industry's attempts to create a family-friendly image. Von Herrmann examines the politics of state and federal gambling policy, particularly policies relating to casinos and state lotteries. She considers gambling policy from a variety of perspectives, including the politics of adoption, the state and federal governments' role in policy formation and implementation, and the broad economic and social impact questions related to gambling. The inclusion of several state case studies provides insight into the largely successful reshaping of Americans' image of gambling—from seedy, sinful, and corrupt behavior to a benign, pleasurable entertainment experience—which ultimately has led to widespread availability. While many have asserted that gambling policy fits well within the political models of morality politics, von Herrmann challenges this notion. Noting that true consensus has not been achieved in the area of gambling policy, she shows how supporters' economic arguments and opponents' moral concerns have effectively bifurcated the current debates on gambling policy; gambling is now viewed by many in two distinct and separate bodies of thought. As she observes, the challenge for the future of gambling policy is to find ways to bridge the gap. Of particular interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with public policy, particularly that relating to gambling.

Danny Castle, a young man of Greek-American ancestry, angers the mob after intercepting a payoff to crooked politicians. Safe for a few years in the last place he'd want to hide -- a Federal Prison camp, framed for somebody else's crime -- he's out now and on the run. Thinking to disappear in the land of his forefathers, a remote beach of southern Crete, he finds his enemies have cornered him. And these are serious bad guys: Herschel Jolly, L.A. mob boss; Sun and Moon, deadly Korean hit men; the Jaeger twins, fearsome gangsters; and Dr. Ilse Wilamowitz, who doesn't have a single living patient! Fortunately he has allies: Goomba, an enormous pro-football player turned private eye; Barbara, his tutor from prison; Manoli, owner of the best taverna in Kali Vrisi; and Yanni, the strongest man on the island. An action thriller that moves from the mean streets of Los Angeles to stark South Dakota plains, to the slums of Berlin, and mountains of sunny Crete for a nerve-wracking, terrifying climax. This novel of fast paced adventure, spiced with a dose of humor and romance, will appeal to all who enjoy the mystery/adventure genre, especially when set in international, exotic locales. Frost, former professor of Greek History and Archaeology, has also written a best-selling survey of Greek history, and thus is able to enliven Dead Philadelphians with a wealth of fascinating facts and details about Greece and the Southern Mediterranean.
