Delivering a ground-breaking analysis of the EU’s diplomatic
meetings (or dialogues) with China, this book reveals how the
EU’s values rarely feature in exchanges, due to ingrained
cultures of complacency and self-censorship amongst EU officials.
Based on extensive interviews, and focusing on individual
perceptions and practices, the book also highlights how
intercultural misunderstanding and unreflective beliefs contribute
to this troubling status-quo with serious implications.
Furthermore, these dynamics run contrary to the Lisbon Treaty
(2009) - where the EU states that its values inform its external
relations - threatening the rules-based order that upholds the
universal values and international norms the EU shares. At a time
of flux in EU-China relations and geopolitical instability, this
book’s timely insights will be of great interest and value to
scholars and practitioners alike. This book will be of key interest
to scholars and students of European (Union) foreign policy and
diplomacy, EU-China relations, Chinese foreign policy, human rights
diplomacy, sustainable development, trade policy and more broadly
in European and Asian Studies, and International Relations.
Arnold-Baker on Local Council Administration, often referred to as
'the bible', is a complete statement of the law relating to parish
and community councils, in the form of an extensive though succinct
narrative accompanied by comprehensive statutory materials. Now in
its 13th edition, the ever-popular 'yellow book' remains the key
text for Parish Councils, Local Authorities, barristers, and
solicitors practicing in local government law and public and
administrative law.
Using case studies from around the world including India, Tanzania,
the UK and US, Transparency and the open society surveys the
adoption of transparency globally, providing an essential framework
for assessing its likely performance as a policy and the steps that
can be taken to make it more effective.
Rapid population growth in the Great Plains and the American West
after the Civil War was the result not only of railroad expansion
but of a collaboration among competing railroads to adopt a uniform
width for track. The American Railroad Network, 1861-1890 shows how
the consolidation of smaller railroads and the growth of capitalism
worked to unify the fragmented railroad industry through
standardization. George Rogers Taylor and Irene D. Neu cover the
emergence of railroads before and during the Civil War, their
expansions westward, the gradual adoption of a national rail gauge,
and the development of standardized equipment and car interchange
rules that set examples for American industry in general. A
pioneering work first published in 1956, The American Railroad
Network, 1861-1890 provides a framework for understanding how
advancements in technology are both impeded and fostered by
political processes and commercial pressures. This paperback
edition features three full-color fold-out maps and a new
introduction by Railroad History editor Mark Reutter.
An official publication, approved by the band. This book shows and
tells of a fantastically talented and popular group of musicians:
John Deacon Brian May, Roger Taylor and the late Freddie Mercury.
The book celebrates the band, its members, recordings and concerts
through images and the written word, as well as through the unique
pieces of memorabilia that are from the private collections of
Queen's members. As well as beautiful photography, some amazing
memorabilia is reproduced on the page: backstage passes,
handwritten lyrics, unpublished album art, ultra-rare posters,
original tour itineraries, postcards, limited-edition records,
invites to the now-legendary tour parties, and more!
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Interfaces, Quantum Wells and
Superlattices" was held from August 16th to 29th, 1987, in Banff,
Alberta, Canada. This volume contains most of the lectures that
were given at the Institute. A few of the lectures had already been
presented at an earlier meeting and appear instead in the
proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Physics and
Applications of Quantum Wells and Super lattices" held in Erice
from April 21st to May 1st earlier in the year and published by
Plenum Press. The study of semiconductor interfaces, quantum wells
and super lattices has come to represent a substantial proportion
of all work in condensed matter physics. In a sense the growth of
interest in this area, which began to accelerate about 10 years ago
and seems to be continuing, has been driven by technological
developments. While the older generation of semiconductor devices
was based on adjacent semiconductors with different properties (e.
g. different doping levels) separated by interfaces, modern
semiconductor devices tend to be based more and more on properties
of the interfaces themselves. This has led, as an example, to the
field of band-structure engineering. Improved understanding of the
fundamental physics of these systems has aided technological
developments and, in turn, technological developments have made
available systems which exhibit novel and fascinating phYSical
properties, such as the integer and fractional quantum Hall
effects."
Long before he published "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,"
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ("Lewis Carroll" to the world) took up
photography as a hobby. Unlike most of the other amateurs in his
circle, he persevered to become a dedicated, prolific, and
remarkably gifted photographer, creating approximately 3,000 images
during his twenty-five years of photographic activity. This
handsomely designed volume makes clear the remarkable extent and
complexity of Carroll's photographic art. It publishes for the
first time the world's finest and most extensive collection of
Carroll photographs, many of which have never been reproduced
before and are unknown even to committed Carroll enthusiasts.
Roger Taylor's thorough and sophisticated discussion of Carroll
as a photographic artist and as a prominent member of Victorian
society reveals the man as never before, illuminating his
relationships with the children he photographed in light of the
idealism and social conventions of the day. This text, illustrated
with exquisite tritone plates, is followed by Edward Wakeling's
fully illustrated and thoroughly annotated catalogue of the entire
Princeton University Library collection. It features, in addition
to a trove of loose prints, four rare albums made by Carroll
himself to showcase his work to friends, family, and potential
sitters. Reproduced in album order, these images offer new insight
into how Carroll thought about his work--and how he wanted it to be
seen.
Compelling portraits of Alice Liddell and other children are
presented alongside those of eminent Victorians such as Alfred
Tennyson and William Holman Hunt, as well as evocative landscapes,
narrative tableaux, and wonderfully strange studies of anatomical
skeletons. The catalogue is followed by a chronological register of
every known Carroll photograph--a remarkable resource for anyone
studying his career as a photographer.
This sumptuous volume is the definitive work on Carroll's
photography. All who admire Carroll and his writing, as well as
everyone interested in Victorian England or the history of
photography, will find it both essential and irresistible.
Bohemian Rhapsody: The Inside Story is the official book of the
Twentieth Century Fox and Queen epic movie Bohemian Rhapsody. The
author has interviewed key cast and crew members to reveal how
Freddie Mercury and Queen's incredible story was brought to the big

- including Live Aid and other key performances - and are described
and shown in this authorized book of the 2018 movie. Contents: The
book tells Queen's fascinating journey through the movie Bohemian
Rhapsody and includes photographs and biographies of band members
and their entourage, including Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger
Taylor, John Deacon, Jim Beach, Paul Prenter, Mary Austin, John
Reid and more. These larger-than-life characters were reproduced in
stunning detail for the big screen. Picture-heavy, Bohemian
Rhapsody: The Inside Story includes behind-the-scenes photographs
and movie stills as well as images of the band from the 1970s to
the 1990s. The author shares how the story, events, music, props
