The privately rented housing market has largely catered for young,
mobile people and students since it was deregulated in the UK. In
this volume, key writers provide timely insights into this rapidly
evolving market. This volume is based on new, original research
which brings together specialists in housing policy and legal
studies, with their common and increasingly interdependent
knowledge base about the privately rented sector and its future
direction. The collection opens with an overview of the historical
context and recent changes to the sector, such as the rapid and
continued expansion of the buy-to-let market, followed by a
discussion of the factors shaping the contemporary market. The
contributors show how the new regulatory environment is opening a
series of issues with significant potential to affect (and
potentially damage) the market. The volume will interest academics
and students in social and public policy, law and housing studies,
as well as law practices and housing authorities.

The Other Classical Musics offers challenging new perspectives on
classical music by presenting the history of fifteen parallel
traditions. Winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award
for Creative Communication 2015 There is a treasure trove of
underappreciated music out there; this book will convince many to
explore it. The Economist Whatis classical music? This book answers
the question in a manner never before attempted, by presenting the
history of fifteen parallel traditions, of which Western classical
music is just one. Each music is analysed in terms of itsmodes,
scales, and theory; its instruments, forms, and aesthetic goals;
its historical development, golden age, and condition today; and
the conventions governing its performance. The writers are leading
ethnomusicologists, and their approach is based on the belief that
music is best understood in the context of the culture which gave
rise to it. By including Mande and Uzbek-Tajik music - plus North
American jazz - in addition to the better-knownstyles of the Middle
East, the Indian sub-continent, the Far East, and South-East Asia,
this book offers challenging new perspectives on the word
'classical'. It shows the extent to which most classical traditions
are underpinnedby improvisation, and reveals the cognate origins of
seemingly unrelated musics; it reflects the multifarious ways in
which colonialism, migration, and new technology have affected
musical development, and continue to do today. With specialist
language kept to a minimum, it's designed to help both students and
general readers to appreciate musical traditions which may be
unfamiliar to them, and to encounter the reality which lies behind
that lazy adjective'exotic'. MICHAEL CHURCH has spent much of his
career in newspapers as a literary and arts editor; since 2010 he
has been the music and opera critic of The Independent. From 1992
to 2005 he reported on traditional musics all over the world for
the BBC World Service; in 2004, Topic Records released a CD of his
Kazakh field recordings and, in 2007, two further CDs of his
recordings in Georgia and Chechnya. Contributors: Michael Church,

This is a light-heated and very readable collection of twelve
stories, reflections and vignettes. The Flamingo Bar was the
liveliest social hub in the roadside township of Tonota from the
early 1990s until it closed around 2004."They were gathered
together" writes David Hughes, "as memories and scribbled notes
during the time I was a teacher in the bar's heyday when I lived
and worked in the local secondary school. I drank beer and ate
grilled meat, laughed and listened..." Hughes brings to life a
small community where the locals mixed with the teachers from other
parts of Africa and from England. He recalls a selection of
memorable characters - the footballer who missed his chance to play
for his country and ended up servicing fire extinguishers; the old
man whose bicycle pump could locate the thief who stole the bike;
the over-sexed "cock of the village"; reactions to the rise in the
price of beer; the education seminar that had a surprising
sequel...
Against a century-long trend of decline, the private rented sector
grew significantly during the 1990s. This book explores why and
looks at the consequences for tenants and landlords, as well as the
wider implications for housing policy. Written by legal and policy
experts, the book brings together, for the first time in over a
decade, leading-edge research on the newly deregulated private
rented sector. It provides background information about the recent
history and development of the private rented sector and explores
the changing nature of the sector. The book will be invaluable
reading for law, public policy, housing and social policy students.
Housing practitioners and policy makers will also find it a
stimulating read.

He comes each week to loosen his limbs, lose some weight, make the
heart beat stronger, longer. This is a skilful collection by a poet
well acquainted with relative place: wherever a poem lives, it
always remembers its place in the world. Indeed, juxtapositions and
connections – with place, culture, and among humans – are where
the poet flexes his muscle – ‘works out’ his ideas. The poet
gazes outward and inward with the same critical eye: he kindly
refuses to judge the humans in his poems, instead offering them up
as precise portraits, and even in dialect, never caricatures. The
poet is never far from the frame, sharing in our delight,
disappointment, upset, and wonder.
