This book examines the statecraft of former UK Prime Minister,
Theresa May as a means of deconstructing her leadership of the
United Kingdom. Alongside the inescapable issue of Brexit that
dominated her Premiership, it takes a wider view of her record in
government by looking at how and why she stood for the leadership
of the Conservative Party; scrutinizes her approach to economic,
social, and foreign policy; interrogates her attitudes towards
Northern Ireland and the DUP; and her longstanding records on race
relations, LGBT+ issues, and feminism, as well as more traditional
concerns such as faith, constitution, and Britishness. This volume
is the first of its kind to adopt such a systematic approach in its
evaluation of May’s leadership.

First published in 1979, the Usborne Book of the Future is a
fondly-remembered book from a time when people dreamed of the
future as a place filled with wonder and amazing new technology.
After more than 40 years of science fiction focussing on dystopias
and doom, it's time to remind readers young and old that, in fact,
the Future is STILL a place that holds hope and excitement. The
book is built in three sections. The first explores all kinds of
robots, the jobs they will do on land, sea and in space, and where
they will get power from. The second is all about cities of the
future, and how people will live, what new buildings they will
build, how computers will change the world, and what people will do
for fun. The final section is about the future of travel, from
planes, trains and cars on Earth, to Space shuttles and journeys to
colonise other planets. This re-issued book retains the original
text and stunning artwork, but now comes with a foreword by
renowned BBC Futurologist Tom Cheesewright, who was inspired into
his career by the original edition of the book. From outlining the
internet to asteroid mines to 3D printers and robot helpers, you'll
be surprised by how accurately this book predicted life in the 21st
Century. Long out of print, copies of the original printing of this
book fetch three figures on auction sites. Now at last people who
remember this book from their childhood can find it again, and
share it with the next generation, at normal bookshop prices!
Ask any trainee teacher, or indeed experienced teacher, which
aspect of teaching concerns them most and they will probably say
"getting pupils to behave." This book looks at the relationships
between teachers and pupils in the classroom. It explores ways of
using the ideas in Transactional Analysis to create win-win
situations in the classroom, making a more pleasant and productive
atmosphere for all concerned. It offers teachers practical examples
of how to model behavior, structure time, use contracts and praise
pupils in order to avoid or resolve conflict quickly and fairly so
that everyone feels OK and learning is put at the forefront. The
authors both have extensive experience of teaching and managing
behavior and have much to offer in terms of guidance for managing
your classes successfully. The book provides a simple introduction
to and explanations of aspects of the theory; lots of practical
examples, strategies and suggestions; reflections and activities;
and bullet-pointed summaries at the end of each chapter.
An Open Access edition of this book, supported by the LUP OA author
fund, is available on the Liverpool University Press website, the
OAPEN library and our Digital Collaboration Hub. In the 1968 local
elections the Liverpool Conservatives won 62 percent of the vote
and 78 percent of the seats on Liverpool City Council. By 1972 the
party had held a majority on Liverpool’s municipal government for
85 of the previous 100 years. But in 1983 they lost their last two
MPs, and in 1998 they lost their final councillor. The
Conservatives have not won an electoral contest in the city since.
Whatever happened to Tory Liverpool? Success, decline, and
irrelevance since 1945 explores the history of Conservative
electoral performance in Liverpool from the end of the Second World
War to the present day, and challenges a number of myths regarding
the city’s political history: Conservative post-war success was
not due to sectarian tensions or false consciousness, and neither
was Conservative decline due to Margaret Thatcher. The book takes a
multi-method approach to the study of Conservative Party history in
Liverpool. It proposes a tripartite framework, which separates the
periods of success (1945–1972), decline (1973–1986), and
irrelevance (1987 onwards), and argues that each period should be
explained by recourse to different phenomena. Only in this way can
the complex post-war history of the Conservative Party in Liverpool
truly be understood.
This collection examines the social and cultural legacy of
Thatcherism in the 21st century. Drawing upon perspectives from a
range of disciplines, it considers how Thatcherism manifests itself
today and how we can assess its long-term impact. The book is
divided into four sections, which offer different ways of
conceptualising and addressing questions of legacy: the ideological
impact of Thatcherism on the Conservative Party and on the country;
the long-term impact of Thatcherism across different parts of the
UK; how Thatcherism has altered social attitudes to everything from
welfare spending to Europe; and how popular historical accounts of
Thatcherism have become embedded in different parts of contemporary
British culture. The essays in this volume draw upon newly
available archival materials, oral histories, social attitudes
surveys and parliamentary debates to provide a well-rounded
perspective on Thatcherism today.

Before the Second World War, Petersfield was a small Hampshire
market town of around four thousand inhabitants. During the 1950s,
'60s and '70s, however, its population began to expand quite
rapidly, and major architectural changes took place. This book
traces this transformation of the postwar years with reference to
the political decisions.
In the 1968 local elections the Liverpool Conservatives won 62
percent of the vote and 78 percent of the seats on Liverpool City
Council. By 1972 the party had held a majority on Liverpool's
municipal government for 85 of the previous 100 years. But in 1983
they lost their last two MPs, and in 1998 they lost their final
councillor. The Conservatives have not won an electoral contest in
the city since. Whatever happened to Tory Liverpool? Success,
decline, and irrelevance since 1945 explores the history of
Conservative electoral performance in Liverpool from the end of the
Second World War to the present day, and challenges a number of
myths regarding the city's political history: Conservative post-war
success was not due to sectarian tensions or false consciousness,
and neither was Conservative decline due to Margaret Thatcher. The
book takes a multi-method approach to the study of Conservative
Party history in Liverpool. It proposes a tripartite framework,
which separates the periods of success (1945-1972), decline
(1973-1986), and irrelevance (1987 onwards), and argues that each
period should be explained by recourse to different phenomena. Only
in this way can the complex post-war history of the Conservative
Party in Liverpool truly be understood.
The market town of Petersfield lies on the edge of the beautiful
South Downs, and it has much to thank its idyllic location for.
From medieval origins it grew prosperous based on the rural economy
of sheep farming, hop growing and cottage industries. It was also
an important stage stop on the route from London to Portsmouth. But
otherwise it remained peaceful and was barely touched by the
violence and upheaval of the Civil War. Like many small towns, it
was transformed by the railway, which arrived in 1859 and brought
trade, industry and a surge in both people and buildings. Building
expansion in the Victorian era included the Corn Exchange, schools,
a courthouse, churches and a cottage hospital. Growth and change
has since continued unabated, as Petersfield adapts to the modern
world - and this magnificent collection of images captures it in
vibrant detail.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann

What is a big bang? How heavy is a white dwarf? What is it like to
be an astronaut? From aliens to astronauts, and mission control to
meteorites, space is exciting and full of drama, mystery and
discovery. This fantastic series also available in hardback takes a
look at space and all of it's fascinating properties and
possibilities. Each book contains a table of contents, glossary and
an index.
The small Hampshire town of Petersfield saw little direct conflict
during the Second World War, yet its story reflects all the
anxieties and concerns of Britain's inhabitants during that period:
food shortages, evacuees, blackout restrictions, family losses -
and the characteristically phlegmatic approach to these problems by
all concerned. David Jeffery's research has uncovered some
remarkable stories of individuals caught up in these world-changing
events, and a series of interviews with over fifty long-time
residents vividly brings back to life the everyday realities and
intense atmosphere of these troubled times. This evocative record
of the effect of the war will serve as a memorial to an exceptional
period in Petersfield's history.
