It is the 1970s and Oxford's male institutions are finally opening
their doors to women. Sarah Addleshaw, young, spirited and keen to
prove her worth, begins term as the first female academic at her
college. She is in fact, her college's only female 'Fellow'.
Impulsive love affairs - with people, places and the ideas in her
head - beset Sarah throughout her first exhilarating year as a don,
but it is the Reading Party, that has the most dramatic impact.
Asked to accompany the first mixed group of students on the annual
college trip to Cornwall, Sarah finds herself illicitly drawn to
one of them, the suave American Tyler. Torn between professional
integrity and personal feelings she faces her biggest challenge to
date.
The Road to Wigan Pier is a book in two parts: the first half is Orwell’s description of working-class life in industrial communities of the north of England, the second examines his own political views.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Amelia Gentleman.
The Road to Wigan Pier is an insightful and powerful account of lives lived in poverty and deprivation in a time of low wages and meagre government support. Orwell describes dismal housing (including the lodging house where he stays), harsh working conditions and the devastating effects of unemployment. And he also vividly describes the courage and dignity of the people he meets. In the second half of the book, Orwell examines his own political and social affiliations with an impressive ability to provoke and to question. He defends middle-class values whilst critiquing the failures of his own class, he advocates socialism whilst criticizing the socialist movement in England.
Amelia Gentleman's exposé of the Windrush scandal shocked the nation, and led to the resignation of Amber Rudd as Home Secretary. Her tenacious reporting revealed how the government's 'hostile environment' immigration policy had led to thousands of law-abiding people being wrongly classified as illegal immigrants, with many being removed from the country, and many more losing their homes and their jobs.
In The Windrush Betrayal, Gentleman tells the full story of her investigation for the first time. Her writing shines a light on the people directly affected by the scandal and illustrates the devastating effect of politicians becoming so disconnected from the world outside Westminster that they become oblivious to the impact of their policy decisions. This is a vitally important account that exposes deeply disturbing truths about modern Britain.
This book explores contemporary developments in the Mexican
authoritarian political framework in light of the ruling party's
strategy of political liberalization and considers the performance
of the political system within the highly constrained economic
context. .

For more and more systems, software has moved from a peripheral to
a central role, replacing mechanical parts and hardware and giving
the product a competitive edge. Consequences of this trend are an
increase in: the size of software systems, the variability in
software artifacts, and the importance of software in achieving the
system-level properties. Software architecture provides the
necessary abstractions for managing the resulting complexity. We
here introduce the Third Working IEEFlIFIP Conference on Software
Architecture, WICSA3. That it is already the third such conference
is in itself a clear indication that software architecture
continues to be an important topic in industrial software
development and in software engineering research. However, becoming
an established field does not mean that software architecture
provides less opportunity for innovation and new directions. On the
contrary, one can identify a number of interesting trends within
software architecture research. The first trend is that the role of
the software architecture in all phases of software development is
more explicitly recognized. Whereas initially software architecture
was primarily associated with the architecture design phase, we now
see that the software architecture is treated explicitly during
development, product derivation in software product lines, at
run-time, and during system evolution. Software architecture as an
artifact has been decoupled from a particular lifecycle phase.
Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis
and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics
experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies
used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors
present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the
analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered
include: (1) import and preprocessing of data from various sources;
(2) statistical modeling of differential gene expression; (3)
biological metadata; (4) application of graphs and graph rendering;
(5) machine learning for clustering and classification problems;
(6) gene set enrichment analysis. Each chapter of this book
describes an analysis of real data using hands-on example driven
approaches. Short exercises help in the learning process and invite
more advanced considerations of key topics. The book is a dynamic
document. All the code shown can be executed on a local computer,
and readers are able to reproduce every computation, figure, and
table.
