active and improve their sport and exercise experiences? How can
instructors, coaches, athletes, and practitioners most effectively
communicate their messages to others? Persuasion and Communication

consider the applications of persuasion frameworks within
activity-related contexts, while also summarizing the major
developments relating to communication topics in these settings. It
provides a state of the art review of the key developments,
challenges, and opportunities within the field. It brings together
international experts from the fields of social, health, and sport
and exercise psychology, to give theoretical overviews, insights
into contemporary research themes and practical implications, as
well as agendas for future research. Covering topics such as
changing attitudes towards exercise, social influence, persuasive
leadership and communicating with people with physical
disabilities, this book provides a contemporary approach to
persuasion and communication in a sport, exercise and physical
activity setting. It is an important text for upper-level
undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics in

Margaret Thatcher was one of the most controversial figures of
modern times. Her governments inspired hatred and veneration in
equal measure, and her legacy remains fiercely contested. Yet
assessments of the Thatcher era are often divorced from any larger
historical perspective. This book draws together leading historians
to locate Thatcher and Thatcherism within the political, social,
cultural and economic history of modern Britain. It explores the
social and economic crises of the 1970s; Britain's relationships
with Europe, the Commonwealth and the United States; and the
different experiences of Thatcherism in Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. The book assesses the impact of the Thatcher era
on class and gender, and situates Thatcherism within the Cold War,
the end of Empire and the rise of an Anglo-American 'New Right'.
Drawing on the latest available sources, it opens a wide-ranging
debate about the Thatcher era and its place in modern British
history.
Scottish nationalism is a powerful movement in contemporary
politics, yet the goal of Scottish independence emerged
surprisingly recently into public debate. The origins of Scottish
nationalism lie not in the medieval battles for Scottish statehood,
the Acts of Union, the Scottish Enlightenment, or any other
traditional historical milestone. Instead, an influential
separatist Scottish nationalism began to take shape only in the
1970s and achieved its present ideological maturity in the course
of the 1980s and 1990s. The nationalism that emerged from this
testing period of Scottish history was unusual in that it demanded
independence not to defend a threatened ancestral culture but as
the most effective way to promote the agenda of the left. This
accessible and engaging account of the political thought of
Scottish nationalism explores how the arguments for Scottish
independence were crafted over some fifty years by intellectuals,
politicians and activists, and why these ideas had such a seismic
impact on Scottish and British politics in the 2014 independence
referendum.

Final adventure for the first incarnation of television's favourite
time traveller. The Doctor (William Hartnell), Ben and Polly arrive
at the South Pole Tracking station in 1986, just as a strange
satellite enters Earth's orbit, affecting the latest space mission.
The Doctor predicts that the new arrival is Mondas, Earth's
long-lost twin planet, and is proved correct when the base is
invaded by the Cybermen, the planet's ruthlessly logical and
seemingly invulnerable inhabitants.

From Anger to Action tells the stories of the citizens' movements
charting new paths to tackle the big global challenges that lie
behind the political upheavals of our times. Drawing on candid
insights from citizens, activists, and innovators, and their own
experiences as leaders of internationally recognized advocacy
organizations, the authors give an insider account of the battle
for change and how it can be won - as well as trenchant criticism
of where traditional civil society has lost its way and needs
renewal. While unflinching on the dangers of the current political
crises, the book offers hard-edged hope and a vision for
citizen-led change to reshape our fractured politics. We meet
communities in economically-battered US towns welcoming refugees,
and LGBTI activists celebrating the success of their campaign focus
on love. We hear from Syrian activists reaching across impossible
divides between jihadists and Assad supporters, and go behind the
scenes with Mongolian entrepreneurs preserving heritage skills by
selling ethically-traded Yak-fibre suits on London's Saville Row
(yes, that's really true). We go inside the international network
of frenzied tax justice campaigners breaking open the secrecy
enabling global elites to evade tax on an industrial scale, and
using social media to drive change. Lamb and Jackson explore how
citizens' movements are transforming our global politics,
refashioning internationalism and fighting back against narrow
nationalism. The book analyses why some movements secure lasting
change - and others fail. And they show how these insights could
shape a wider strategy for grassroots-up transformation. From Anger
to Action will be of interest to social activists and anyone
interested in social movements, global change, and civil society.
