This timely and original book provides an exploration of the
factors that combine to determine the form of regulatory problems
and the overall success or failure of regulation. Using
environmental regulation as a basis for analysis, this book puts
forward a theoretical framework for the design of effective
regulation and demonstrates how businesses' compliance with
environmental regulation, in particular, could be improved. The
authors address previous shortcomings in regulatory explanations,
which have frequently overlooked the structural character of
regulation and underplayed how the factors involved work together
to determine regulatory shape and performance. In seeking to
address this deficit, the authors develop a compliance line to
demonstrate how different choices on how to regulate will affect
compliance outcomes. Chapters include a review of how regulation
has changed and sought to improve over the years, the relationship
between rule following and regulation, how regulation incorporates
and relies on necessary conditions, an identification of the
trade-offs involved in regulating, and a discussion of why
regulation is, by necessity and to a degree, unfair. Providing
theories for how regulation can be structured to improve
compliance, The Structure of Regulation will be a key resource for
students and academics in the fields of law and regulation,
environment studies, public policy and political science.
David Williamson's text paints a vivid and sensitive portrait of
each monarch, revealing the dramatic events and controversies that
surrounded them. With a rich selection of images, anecdotes,
comprehensive fact boxes and clear family trees, National Portrait
Gallery Kings & Queens will appeal to everyone with an interest
in history or the British monarchy. The book begins by charting
Celtic Britain before the Roman invasion to the Norman Conquest of
1066: the establishment of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the coming of
Christianity and the unification of England. The subsequent
dynastic struggles of the Angevins and Plantagenets heralded the
great age of English kingship under the Tudors and Stuarts, who
united the crowns of Scotland and England, before the Hanoverians
combined personal rule with parliamentary government, ushering in
the modern age and the royalty of today.

The revealing and candid memoir of Australia's legendary playwright
and screenwriter The definitive memoir of David Williamson, author
of iconic dramas such as The Removalists, The Club, Don's Party,
Emerald City and Travelling North, as well as more than fifty other
plays, explores the life of the writer and the true stories and
real lives that inspired his works. A powerful force in theatre
since the 1970s, Williamson's plays have uniquely explored the
pulse of our Australianness. After five decades of chronicling the
blunders, mishaps and messes that he and his fellow Australians got
themselves into, Williamson has penned his long-awaited memoir,
Home Truths. It reveals the story of the man behind the work: how a
childhood defined by marital discord sparked a lifelong fascination
with the power of drama to explore emotional conflict; how a
mechanical engineering student became our most successful
playwright; the anxiety that plagued him as he crafted his plays;
the joy of connecting with an audience and the enduring sting of
the critics; and the great love story that defined his personal
life. Fearless, candid and witty, Williamson also writes about the
plethora of odd, interesting, caustic and brilliant people -
actors, directors, writers, theatre critics, politicians - who have
intersected with his life and work: from a young Jacki Weaver and
Chris Haywood in the first Sydney production of The Removalists in
1971 to Nicole Kidman on the brink of stardom in the 1988 feature
film of Emerald City and lively dinners with political powerhouse
Paul Keating; and from Graham Kennedy in the 1976 film version of
Don's Party through eventful overseas travels with Gareth Evans,
Peter Carey and Tim Winton to a West End production of Up for Grabs
starring Madonna, and the satisfaction of seeing his sons Felix and
Rory tread the boards in several of his own plays. Praise for David
Williamson: 'Australia's most enduringly popular social comedy
writer ... keenly observant and satirical.' The Sydney Morning
Herald 'Williamson always keeps us engaged ... his words weave a
spellbinding course ... testament to the power of [his] language.'
The Daily Telegraph 'Our greatest dramatic entertainer.' Chris
Boyd, Financial Review 'His genius has been to define for us, in
advance of our own recognition, the qualities which make up the
Australian character.' Katharine Brisbane, The Australian 'It would
be impossible to fault Williamson for not being brutally honest.'
Jasper Lindell, Canberra Times 'Known for his sharp wit, brutal
dialogue and fierce politics, Williamson's book is savage, funny
and tender in equal parts. It's also first-class eyewitness
cultural history.' Filmink 'Home Truths unfurls a sweeping and
surprising life. It is a potpourri of Australian middle-class
mores, exiting cultural schisms in the nation's theatre fuelled by
young men and women who would go on to change the face of stage and
screen, the politics of the day, love trysts and betrayal,
backstage drama, fame and financial success, family, enemies made
and friends lost, marriage and divorce, all backdropped by
Williamson's remarkable work.' Matthew Condon, The Australian '...
the overall momentum is powerfully sustained. Home Truths is as
much a collective portrait as a self-portrait, and anyone who picks
it up is likely to be carried on by the surge and the propulsion.'
Peter Craven, Sydney Morning Herald 'Like so many of his plays, it
is name-dropping, gossipy and wonderfully entertaining.' Susan
Lever, Inside Story 'The book is packed with detail, personal and
professional, as he covers his life step by step, highs and lows,
plenty of each.' NZ Listener

In his latest play Australia's best known and multi-award winning
playwright David Williamson tackles the rise and rise of
ex-Australian citizen and one of the planets most powerful,
influential and feared men, Rupert Murdoch. Spanning most of
Murdochs lifetime -- from his early student days at Oxford to the

Williamson asks who the real Rupert Murdoch is and tries to uncover

process Williamson peels back the facade and we glimpse the
