'One of the best plays ever written about the First World War'
GUARDIAN 'To say that it leaves you emotionally shattered feels
like an insult to those bygone souls and the horrors the faced, but
quietly shattering it is, all the same' DAILY TELEGRAPH A battalion
of 1,000 young men raised in 1914 from volunteers in the Accrington
area of East Lancashire go to war. They are destined to see their
first real action on 1st July 1916 on the first day of the Battle
of the Somme, still regarded as the greatest British military
disaster with huge loss of life. Not many return to Accrington
alive or intact. Whelan's play traces these men's history through
individual stories, but his special interest lies in the lives of
the women left behind, battling with their own problems, deprived
of their relationships with husbands and lovers, undertaking
traditionally male roles, and kept in doubt by the misinformation
of wartime propaganda. Their moving stories interweave in scenes
that are often comic, but which reach a devastating climax as the
news of the disastrous battle finally reaches them. Commentary and
notes by John Davey.
Fundamentals of Clinical Psychopharmacology provides up-to-date,
evidence-based and unbiased information about psychopharmacology.
It spans the range of the discipline, from mode of action and side
effects of drugs to meta-analyses of clinical trials. It is
anchored to practice guidelines produced by the UK National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the British
Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP). Care has been taken to
provide an international perspective that makes it equally useful
to practitioners in the US and other countries. The book grew out
of BAP courses that set the standard for professional
psychopharmacological education in the UK. This latest edition is
fully updated and provides, in a concise and easy-to-read format,
key facts about currently used psychotropic drugs, set in the
context of the neuroscience of the disorders they treat. It also
includes a new chapter on the principles of psychiatric
prescribing. Key references, including the clinical studies
discussed, are provided at the end of the chapter along with
suggestions for further reading. Intended to be a frequently
updated, affordable, concise and practical resource, it meets the
needs of trainees and practitioners seeking to keep abreast of the
state of the art in psychopharmacology.
"The Accrington Pals" is a poignant and harrowing play set in
the early years of the First World War, as Britain's jingoistic
optimism starts to wane and the true terror of warfare gradually
becomes clear. The play looks at both the terrifying experiences of
the men at the front and the women who were left behind to face
social changes, deprivation and the lies of propaganda. While often
comic vignettes portray the everyday life of a town denuded of men,
the men face the terror that is the Battle of the Somme.
This compassionate play portrays the devastating effects of war on
a typical Lancashire mill town and the suffering of everyday
people.
This Modern Classic edition includes a new preface by the author,
plus a full introduction exploring the themes, social/historical
context and characters. The edition will also include a chronology
of key events mentioned in the play and classroom activities.
This books looks of the British Army's supply service, how it
developed, and how it failed - especially in the Crimea War - and
how reforms in the 19th century reformed it. It examines how the
lines of communication functioned during WW1 and the strains on it
during the March 1918 German offensive. The focus of the book looks
at the developments in the interwar years, and how it functioned
during the French Campaign of May/June 1940. The role of the LOC
after the German breakthrough in France has been underestimated and
under reported. This part of the British Army performed well in
difficult circumstances but individual efforts could not compensate
for the woeful lack of organisation, equipment and training, nor
that few if any senior officers had either experience or training
to carry out the posts they occupied. Only the fortuitous
mechanisation of the general transport system of the Army, not due
to doctrine or foresight but a dearth of horses in the civil
economy, enabled the Army to retreat faster and further than their
horse bound allies - the French - and enemies - the Germans. There
was bloody-mindedness on the part of the regimental officers and
rank and file soldiers to do their best in difficult circumstances.
In recent years, there has been a decentralisation of the
enforcement of the EU competition law provisions, Articles 101 and
102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
Consequently, the national application of these provisions has
become increasingly more common across the European Union. This
national application poses various challenges for those concerned
about the consistent application of EU competition law. This edited
collection provides an in-depth analysis of the most important
limitations of, and the challenges concerning, the applicability of
Articles 101 and 102 TFEU at national level. Divided into five
parts, the book starts out by examining how the consistent
enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU operates as a general EU
competition policy. It then discusses several recent landmark cases
of the European Court of Justice on Articles 101 and 102 TFEU,
before proceeding to analyse certain additional, unique
jurisdictional challenges to the uniform application of the EU
competition law provisions. Subsequently, it focuses on one of the
most important instruments that can help to achieve the uniform
application of EU competition law in cases handled by the national
courts: preliminary rulings. Finally, it provides selective
examples of how Articles 101 and 102 TFEU are effectively applied
at national level, thereby providing additional input into how
problematic the issue of consistent application of EU competition
law is in practice.

So you've got Col; he's a bit of a live wire, you never know what
you'll get with him. Then there are Jake and Ethel, and maybe they
should have just stayed clear in the first place, although you
could argue they did it to themselves - you keep the company of
thieves, you can't expect to be civilised. And Glory and Harvey
were just unlucky - you know, wrong place, wrong time...But this is
Harvey, prone to temptation, and Glory isn't exactly blessed. But
it's Ric you really feel for, he's the one with responsibilities.
Young copper, new to the job, and usually it's such a nice, quiet,
civilised sort of place, then boom Left all alone under slightly
suspicious circumstances, it's just his luck to be the one in
charge. As soon as the Sarge goes off sick, the town turns into
some sort of living nightmare and Ric needs help. Enter George, who
may or may not be what he seems, and Gavin, who isn't even a cop
and just wants to help his girlfriend get her dog back. From the
sublime to the ridiculous, via the downright terrifying, when it
happens in Brooksfield, it all happens. And all on Ric's shift.
A major new play, with its world premiere at London's Almeida
Theatre June 1871. William Morris spends summer in Kelmscott,
Oxfordshire in the company of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and their
beloved Janey - the wife of one and muse of the other.It seemed
that they had found their ideal, in harmony with nature, a garden
of earthly delights. But cynics whispered that the move from London
was to conceal the very Pre-Raphaelite affair between Janey and
Gabriel ...
The first collection of plays by one of Britain's most acclaimed
contemporary playwrights THE ACCRINGTON PALS The young men of a
Lancashire mill town leave their homes and lovers for the trenches
of the Somme. A moving and often comic evocation of the suffering
of the women they left behind. THE HERBAL BED Stratford-upon-Avon
in 1613, and Susannah, eldest daughter of William Shakespeare must
defend her good name when she is slandered by her husband's
servant. Whelan's entertaining exploration of morality and desire,
set in the post-Elizabethan era. THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT Charged with
treason and heresy Christopher Marlowe is on the run from the law.
As he sits in the Rose Theatre, hiding, and composing his greatest
lyric, Marlowe reflects upon the intrigues that have brought him to
the brink of ruin, and contemplates his escape from England before
the inevitable and mysterious bar-room brawl that will end his life
on 30 May 1593." I can't call to mind any male playwright since

and sufferings of women with such humour and poignancy" - New
Statesman "Whelan is a writer who gets more interesting with every
play" - Guardian
A new play from the award-winning playwright of The Herbal Bed
Amongst the ruins of post-war Berlin, a young soldier is sent for a
weekend to guard a deserted British army office. In the corrosive
atmosphere of Cold War power struggles, he innocently finds himself
caught up in a situation where his conscience is on trial.
Peter Whelan's fine play adaptation (with songs) of Hans Christian
Andersen's famous story is intelligent, funny and witty, ideal for
performance to children by adults or young people. A common soldier
meets varied fortunes as he gains and then loses a vast wealth, is
sorely tested by many evils and finally marries the King's daughter
and finds the peace and happiness he has sought.5 women, 5 men

In enforcing EU competition law, the Commission employs a unique
doctrine of parental antitrust liability: it imposes fines on the
parent company of an infringing subsidiary in cases where the
parent exercises decisive influence over the subsidiary's
commercial policy. Critics of this contentious aspect of EU
competition law believe that the doctrine is unfair, ineffective,
obscure, disproportionate, contrary to due process, and based upon
a dubious, if not extremely flimsy, justificatory foundation. Such
criticism raises serious and unanswered questions about the
legitimacy of the Commission's efforts to enforce competition law.
Parental Liability in EU Competition Law: A Legitimacy-Focused
Approach is the first monograph to be dedicated to this
controversial topic. Written by Professor Peter Whelan, the book
contends that, although the general concept of parental liability
can be justified in principle, the current EU-level doctrine of
parental antitrust liability in fact suffers from a distinct and
problematic lack of legitimacy. More specifically, the said
doctrine displays significant deficiencies with respect to
effectiveness, fairness, and legality. Given this undesirable state
of affairs, Parental Liability in EU Competition Law offers a
fully-rationalised, reformulated approach to parental antitrust
liability for EU competition law violations that is built around
the notion of parental fault. That approach provides a solid
normative account of how to impose parental antitrust liability in
a manner that is theoretically robust, effective in practice, fair
in substance, and legally sound.
