This book is the first in-depth study of this crucial section of the Conservative Party. Drawing on new and revealing survey data, it paints a fascinating picture of the social make-up and political views of a grass roots membership who dislike Jacques Delors more than the European Community, and The Sun newspaper most of all. The book challenges the stereotypical view of the Conservative activist as an eccentric and politically irrelevant Tha...

Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Mill, Marx, and Foucault: what really links these and other 'classic' political theorists? Not, argues Terence Ball, their common status as 'dead, white, European males', but instead the exciting and compelling way in which they can speak to us today. Professor Ball begins by setting out his liberating view of the way we should approach 'classic' tests. Using an approach that is both 'problem-driven' and methodol...

The management of production is faced with ever greater challenges as global competition mounts. How do firms compete on price while responding quickly to market changes? How do firms develop new products quickly without compromising quality, and how do they increase quality while reducing costs? This study addresses these questions as they confront Britain's metalworking sector, focusing on the engineering/manufacturing interface in fifteen l...

The book clea...

This book clearly details the theory of groups of finite Morley rank--groups which arise in model theory and generalize the concept of algebraic groups over algebraically closed fields. Written especially for pure group theorists and graduate students embarking on research on the subject, the book develops the theory from the beginning and contains an algebraic and self-evident rather than a model-theoretic point of view. All necessary model a...

How and why do adults modify their language when they move to a new area? In this detailed study of rural dialect users who have moved to the Norwegian city of Bergen, Kerswill throws light on this widespread phenomenon. The book is concerned with the theory of language change through language and dialect contact, and with the theory and practice of sociolinguistics. While the approach is broadly quantitative, the author shows the importance o...

Her story provides powerful information about God's sovereignty in the universe toward those who believe in Him and seek Him.Base...
