This book aims to document and analyse the enduring involvement of
children in the commercial sex trade in twentieth-century England.
It uncovers new evidence to indicate the extent of under-age
prostitution over this period, a much-neglected subject despite the
increased visibility of children more generally. The authors argue
that child prostitution needs to be understood within a broader
context of child abuse, and that this provides one of the clearest
manifestations of the way in which 'deviant groups' can be
conceived of as both victims and threats. The picture of child
prostitution which emerges is one of exclusion from mainstream
society and the law, and remoteness from the agencies set up to
help young people in trouble, which were often reluctant to accept
the realities of child prostitution. The evidence provided in this
book indicates that the circumstances which have led young people
into prostitution over the last hundred years amount, at worst, to
physical or psychological abuse or neglect, and at best as the
result of limited choice.
This clear and intuitive introduction to care planning for nurses
explains the benefits of holistic, individualised care planning
from a professional and clinical perspective. Using the ASPIRE
model, it guides the reader step-by-step through a problem-solving
approach to care, from assessing patients and identifying their
needs, to planning goals and interventions, and evaluating
progress. The book is structured to explain the theory of care
planning in relation to a number of common nursing models and then
show how the theory can best be put into practice. It draws on
recent research to show how nurses can develop individualised care
plans from scratch or use and adapt a range of 'off-the-shelf'
tools. It is written in a clear, succinct and down-to-earth writing
style, which will put students immediately at their ease, and is
rich with pedagogic features, including: 'Stop and think' boxes to
check understanding; boxed 'Practice examples' to illustrate points
made; 'Research summary' boxes to highlight relevant and important
studies; 'What have you learnt so far?' features to recap on key
points of discussion; mini care plans; regular activities to
encourage the reader to apply what they have learnt to particular
practice scenarios. This is a go-to text for all pre-registration
nursing students taking courses on the theory and practice of
effective healthcare delivery.
Corruption takes many different forms and the systems that enable
it are complex and challenging. To best understand corruption, one
needs to examine how it operates in practice. Understanding
Corruption tells the story of how corruption happens in the real
world, illustrated through detailed case studies of the many
different types of corruption that span the globe. Each case study
follows a tried and tested analytical approach that provides key
insights into the workings of corruption and the measures best used
to tackle it. The case studies examined include examples of
corporate bribery, political corruption, facilitation payments,
cronyism, state capture, kleptocracy, asset recovery, offshore
secrecy, reputation laundering and unexplained wealth, and actors
include businesses, governments, politicians, governing bodies and
public servants.

'Equal is not Enough' is the title of a series of conferences that
has aimed, over the years, to generate a better understanding of
what shapes and reshapes inequalities by inviting and promoting
multi-disciplinary insights and reflection. One of the conferences
hosted at Antwerp University in February 2015 focused on
discrimination law. The conveners welcomed papers on the
relationship between social policy and discrimination law (or
closely related human rights issues), which investigate the
tensions and (in)compatibilities between the respective aims and
tools of social policy and discrimination law. They were
particularly interested in contributions that transcend legal
technicalities and reflect on the function of discrimination law as
part of a wider social policy in the European Union and its member
states. Following a very strict selection procedure conducted by
the editors and rigorous peer review, a collection of papers from
the conference now appears in this book, Equal is not Enough, which
takes its name from the title of the conference. In short, within
this volume, the reader will find a selection of high-quality
papers presented at this conference, organised by the Flemish
Policy Research Centre on Equality Policies (a consortium of the
Universities of Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven). This
publication is aimed at researchers, but it will also be of
interest to practitioners of discrimination law who would like to
enhance their scientific background.

The Story of the Masters is the first comprehensive year-by-year
history of the world's most famous golf tournament. Veteran golf
journalist David Barrett draws upon contemporaneous reporting and
other source material to offer dramatic accounts of each year the
tournament has been played, starting in 1934. The story of the
tournament progresses from the early years when it was founded by
golf great Bobby Jones and quickly established itself as an elite
event, to the post-World War II era when Sam Snead and Ben Hogan
dominated. The thrilling exploits of dashing hero Arnold Palmer
brought the tournament into the television age and the sustained
excellence of Jack Nicklaus helped to further the prestige of the
tournament. Nearly two full decades of European dominance of the
Masters heralded the international age of golf. Then Tiger Woods
came along and used the Augusta stage for his coming-out party in
1997 and then for his epic comeback in 2019. In Barrett's telling,
each year has its own story to tell as the Augusta National course
provides the perfect setting for tournament excitement, noted for
suspenseful back-and-forth action between multiple contenders -—
the norm at the Masters. The nature of the course's layout creates
opportunities for stirring charges and heroic shots to determine
the champion, while filled with enough danger to provoke monumental
collapses that also become part of Masters lore. Through the
decades, the game's greatest players have shined their brightest at
the Masters. Many golfing careers have been shaped and defined by
this tournament, and Barrett shares unknown and forgotten stories
of not only the sport's stars, but also the many others who
challenged them over the years at Augusta.

Marrying deft social commentary to a rich, earthy comedy, the three
comedies collected in Aristophanes' The Frogs and Other Plays
offers a unique insight into one of the most turbulent periods in
Ancient Greek history. This Penguin Classics edition is translated
by David Barrett with revisions, an introduction and notes by
Shomit Dutta. The master of ancient Greek comic drama, Aristophanes
combined slapstick, humour and cheerful vulgarity with acute
political observations. In The Frogs, written during the
Peloponnesian War, Dionysus descends to the Underworld to bring
back a poet who can help Athens in its darkest hour, and stages a
great debate to help him decide between the traditional wisdom of
Aeschylus and the brilliant modernity of Euripides. The clash of
generations and values is also the object of Aristophanes' satire
in Wasps, in which an old-fashioned father and his loose-living son
come to blows and end up in court. And in Women at the
Thesmophoria, the famous Greek tragedian Euripides, accused of
misogyny, persuades a relative to infiltrate an all-women festival
to find out whether revenge is being plotted against him. Shomit
Dutta's introduction discusses Aristophanes' life, the cultural
context of his work and conventions of Greek comedy. This updated
version of David Barrett's translation also includes extensive
notes and a preface for each play. Aristophanes (c.445-386 BC) was
probably born in Athens. Little is known about his life, but there
is a portrait of him in Plato's Symposium. He was twice threatened
with prosecution for his outspoken attacks on the prominent
politician Cleon, but in 405 he was publicly honoured and crowned
for promoting Athenian civic unity in The Frogs. Aristophanes had
his first comedy produced when he was about twenty-one, and wrote
forty plays in all. The eleven surviving plays of Aristophanes are
published in the Penguin Classics series as The Birds and Other
Plays, Lysistrata and Other Plays, The Wasps and Other Plays and
The Frogs and Other Plays. If you enjoyed The Frogs and Other
Plays, you might like Aristophanes' Lysistrata and Other Plays,
also available in Penguin Classics.
The Knights/Peace/The Birds/The Assemblywomen/Wealth ‘Oh wings are splendid things, make no mistake: they really help you rise in the world’ The plays collected in this volume, written at different times in Aristophanes’ forty-year career as a dramatist, all contain his trademark bawdy comedy and dazzling verbal agility. In The Birds, two frustrated Athenians join with the birds to build the utopian city of ‘Much Cuckoo in the Clouds’. The Knights is a venomous satire on Cleon, the prominent Athenian demagogue, while The Assemblywomen considers the war of the sexes, as the women of Athens infiltrate the all-male Assembly in disguise. The lengthy conflict with Sparta is the subject of Peace, inspired by the hope of a settlement in 421 BC, and Wealth reflects the economic catastrophe that hit Athens after the war, as the god of riches is depicted as a ragged, blind old man. The lively translations by David Barrett and Alan H. Sommerstein capture the full humour of the plays. The introduction examines Aristophanes’ life and times, and the comedy and poetry of his works. This volume also includes an introductory note for each play.
