Book Description
Taking an in-depth look at the causes of homelessness in the United States, Joel Blau disproves the convenient myths that most homeless are crazy, drug addicts, or lazy misfits who brought their suffering upon themselves. He shows that the current crisis was an inevitable result of economic and political changes in recent decades, systematically reviewing the explanations offered by researchers, politicians and pundits, from the deinstitutionalization of mental patients in the 1960s to the gentrification of urban neighborhoods in the 1970s to the evisceration of federal spending on social welfare in the 1980s. Blau argues that current government policies at every level are mired in pointless headcounting and quick-fix solutions that only push the homeless out of sight without touching the underlying causes. He advocates social reforms ranging form a national standard for welfare benefits, a higher minimum wage, and establishment of a social sector for non-profit, affordable housing. A powerful contribution to public debate on homelessness, The Visible Poor must be read by concerned citizens as well as by policy-makers and advocates.

Book Description
The tomography problem considered in this volume of the Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series consists of finding an essential part of information about the internal structure of an unknown medium. More particularly, the contact boundaries between various materials in the medium are sought. This investigation is implemented by studying an appropriate mathematical model, which is represented as a transport equation (linear Boltzmann's equation) together with certain boundary conditions. Both theoretical and numerical methods have been used and the results consist of proved theorems, computer testing of the corresponding algorithms, together with a number of tables. This book may be considered as a continuation and application of Transport Equation and Tomography by D.S. Anikonov, A.E. Kovtanyuk and I.V. Prokhorov, previously published in this series.
