    An in-depth analysis of the nursing home industry in America -- its past, present, and future. It focuses on the business aspects of the industry, and provides a detailed examination of the main issues concerning all nursing homes -- trends in health care expenditures; the legislative history of the industry; growing demand for care and how to measure it; the present structure of the industry; funding and financing concerns; government regulation; inter-industry competition and opportunities for growth; global comparisons; and public policy considerations.

    Updating and nearly doubling the number of entries in the 1996 The History Highway identifies some 2,500 sites for historians. Begins with general topics for beginners, such as getting on the Internet, hardware, software, netiquette, and copyright. Then cites sites by topic of interest, among them ancient, European, history of science, military, psychohistory, genealogy, state historical societies, resources for history teachers, maps and images, discussion groups, and electronic journals.
