A wide-ranging meditation on belonging and citizenship through the story of two squirrel species in Britain. Squirrel Nation is a history of Britain's two species of squirrel over the past two hundred years: the much-loved, though rare, red squirrel and the less-desirable, though more populous, grey squirrel. A common resident of British gardens and parks, the grey squirrel was introduced from North America in the late nineteenth century and r...

Drawing on his experience of over 50 years of health care service the author has imagined how life would improve if mankind moved towards a more caring and loving society. While mankind has greatly benefited from the goods and services which have been delivered by capitalist societies, the excesses of capitalism and the selfishness which leads to inequity have ruined many lives. Love calls us to a caring capitalism in which competition deliver...

∗ A lively, accessible introduction to the history of nature and the environment. ∗ An outline of the major understandings of ′nature′ in the western world since classical times from nature as higher authority to its more recent meaning of a threatened form of life.

A systematic and comprehensive study of the early performance of New Labour in power. It brings together the results of a co-ordinated research initiative underway in the Department of Government at the University of Manchester, charting the developing relationship between election promise and government policy across the whole sweep of New Labour's manifesto agenda. Each chapter examines New Labour's initial comments, charts opening policy mo...

Takes a new approach to the study of rivers from the perspective of environmental history.

This second volume analyses the Maoist insurgency in India from 2009 to the present and analyses the impact on India's politics, military and socio-economic situation by detailing events during this period, the causes of the insurgency and its future prospects and effects for the survival of the present Indian establishment. In addition the volume also looks at India's internal political developments and internal insurgencies in the country an...

The Introduction draws attention to the emergence of the CPI-Maoist as a significant political, social and economic force that represents a growing challenge to the survival of the Indian state at present and a fore bearer of change to the status quo resulting from current political, social and economic policies pursued by the Indian governing elite now and in the future. The Prologue deals with the milestone formation of the CPI-Maoist in 200...

The main section investigates and assesses the...

The algebraic techniques developed by Kakde will almost certainly lead eventually to major progress in the study of congruences between automorphic forms and the main conjectures of non-commutative Iwasawa theory for many motives. Non-commutative Iwasawa theory has emerged dramatically over the last decade, culminating in the recent proof of the non-commutative main conjecture for the Tate motive over a totally real p-adic Lie extension of a n...

We live in an age of unprecedented environmental change: global, interconnected and universal. Yet though our lives are inextricably connected to global processes, and increasingly mobile, we still live in particular places. Our perceptions of change, and what kind of change might be for good or ill, are shaped by the interaction of localised experience and the wider forces of transformation. Local Places, Global Processes examines how these r...

This book describes the interaction between several key aspects of Galois theory based on Iwasawa theory, fundamental groups and automorphic forms. These ideas encompass a large portion of mainstream number theory and ramifications that are of interest to graduate students and researchers in number theory, algebraic geometry, topology and physics.
