British industry isn't dead. Yet. ICI was Britain's biggest manufacturer and exporter, while GEC was its biggest employer and Morris Motors made over half of its cars; Courtaulds dominated global cloth production and produced the first man-made fibres; BSA was the world's biggest producer of motorbikes; De Havilland produced groundbreaking aeroplanes and some of the world's first jet engines. And yet, these companies have all collapsed, taking with them nearly 200 years of industrial pre-eminence. British industry is dead, killed off by 'Made in China' stickers and US market dominance. Or is it? Will Britain Make It? explores the rise, fall and future of British industry and all the complexities surrounding it. Who's to blame for its slow decline? What about Brexit? Can it be resurrected? If you've ever asked any of these questions, then this is the book for you.

Published in 1997, this text focuses on the conundrum between the academics ability to distinguish between failing and non-failing businesses with models of over 85.5per cent accuracy, and the reasons why credit agencies and the like do not act on such information. The author asks, are the models defective?

Parish churches have been at the heart of communities for more than a thousand years. But now, fewer than two in one hundred people regularly attend services in an Anglican church, and many have never been inside one. Since the idea of 'church' is its people, the buildings are becoming husks - staples of our landscapes, but without meaning or purpose. Some churches are finding vigorous community roles with which to carry on, but the institutional decline is widely seen as terminal. Yet for Richard Morris, post-war parsonages were the happy backdrop of his childhood. In Evensong he searches for what it was that drew his father and hundreds like him towards ordination as they came home from war in 1945. Along the way we meet all kinds of people - archbishops, chaplains, campaigners, bell-ringers, bureaucrats, archaeologists, gravediggers, architects, scroungers - and follow some of them to dark places. Part personal odyssey, part lyrical history, Evensong asks what churches stand for and what they can tell us; it explores why Anglicanism has often been fractious, and why it has become so diffuse. Spanning over two thousand years, it draws on new discoveries, reflects on the current state of the Church in England and ends amid the messy legacies of colonialism and empire.

'Restless, poetic, strange ... and the territory it describes deserves nothing less' Observer 'Glittering and energetic' Country Life Yorkshire is 'a continent unto itself', a region where mountain, plain, coast, downs, fen and heath lie close.

Higher education has embraced a period of increasingly rapid development due to the speed of technological advances, increased global competition, an ever more astute and savvier consumer base, and ethical planetary responsibilities. One such educational development is transnational education (TNE). The global pandemic has made TNE a timely topic because traditional international education, which relies on the mobility of staff and students, experienced unprecedented challenges, with borders closed and travel banned. This has presented the international education community with a unique opportunity to reassess the effectiveness and efficiency of transnational activities from a social, ethical, and environmental perspective. The Handbook of Research on Developments and Future Trends in Transnational Higher Education offers a perspective of what the future of TNE may look like, what models of TNE there are, its impact, and what institutions may have to do to be successful moving forward. Universities around the world are growing their TNE partnerships. This reference book explores the benefits TNE can offer universities, staff, and students, while increasing its global outlook and capabilities. It further provides concrete suggestions to readers considering this. Covering topics such as employability skill enhancement, formative assessment, and online higher education, this major reference work is an excellent resource for faculty and administrators of higher education, teacher educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, librarians, and academicians.
