This little paperback book is a gem which may escape the attention of readers on this side of the Atlantic because it deals mainly with the state of contemporary pediatrics in Great Britain. For us not to be aware of this book would be a mistake; many of the problems and shortcomings which Drs. Joseph and MacKeith discuss are equally germane to the United States. The authors attempt to define in 11 chapters such elusive things as just what pediatrics really is, what are the crucial current problems, how the changing patterns of death and morbidity in childhood have altered the demands on pediatricians, and—throughout the book as a leitmotiv—how to make medical students and physicians more aware of preventive aspects of medicine.

By the 1960s, the failures of research and cooperative pragmatism to control Great Lakes pollution were becoming painfully evident. In 1972 Canada and the United States signed the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The agreement was groundbreaking in its focus on cleaning up existing pollution and preventing new pollutants, but the International Joint Commission has no authority to force the two nations to implement recommendations. Therefore, when Canada or the United States refuses to abide by the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (in its various revisions), very little happens in response—besides calls for more research.
