English for Vocational Purposes provides a linguistic description
of English in the context of the trades and investigates how this
specialist language is used in real-world contexts. As the demand
for English-speaking workers in the trades grows internationally, a
major gap in the research on language in the trades is evident.
Based on courses in construction and engineering at a polytechnic
in New Zealand, this book offers an empirical response to this gap
in research. Features of this book include: new research on
linguistic features of written and spoken texts in trades
education, with a special focus on discourse, visual elements of
written texts and vocabulary; real-life examples of the language in
context, along with implications for teaching and learning and a
chapter devoted to putting research findings into practice;
qualitative and quantitative data to support examples and shed
light on the most complex aspects of English as a trades language;
supplementary material online which includes technical word lists
in areas of carpentry, plumbing, automotive technology and
fabrication (welding). Paving the way for a new research agenda in
the field of ESP, English for Vocational Purposes is key reading
for advanced students, researchers and practitioners in the areas
of ESP, trades education and vocational education.
The Politics of Expertise offers a challenging new interpretation
of politics in contemporary Britain, through an examination of
non-governmental organisations. Using specific case studies of the
homelessness, environment, and international aid and development
sectors, it demonstrates how politics and political activism has
changed over the last half century. NGOs have contributed
enormously to a professionalization and a privatization of
politics, emerging as a new form of expert knowledge and political
participation. They have been led by a new breed of non-party
politician, working in collaboration and in competition with
government. Skilful navigators of the modern technocratic state,
they have brought expertise to expertise and, in so doing, have
changed the nature of grassroots activism. As affluent citizens
have felt marginalised by the increasingly complex nature of many
policy solutions, they have made the rational calculation to
support NGOs, the professionalism and resources of which make them
better able to tackle complex problems. Yet in doing so, support
rather than participation becomes the more appropriate way to
describe the relationship of the public to NGOs. As voter turnout
has declined, membership and trust in NGOs has increased. But NGOs
are very different types of organisations from the classic
democratic institutions of political parties and the labour
movement. They maintain different and varied relationships with the
publics they seek to represent. Attracting mass support has
provided them with the resources and the legitimacy to speak to
power on a bewildering range of issues, yet perhaps the ultimate
victors in this new form of politics are the NGOs themselves.

With no formal training as an actor, Welsh-born Ray Milland
(1907-1986), a former trooper in the British Army's Household
Cavalry, enjoyed a half-century career working alongside some of
the great directors and stars from the Golden Age of cinema. He won
the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as the
alcoholic writer in The Lost Weekend (1946), a defining moment that
enabled him to break free from romantic leads and explore darker
shades of his debonair demeanor, such as the veiled menace of his
scheming husband in Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder (1954). A
consummate professional with wide range, Milland took the
directorial reins in several of his starring vehicles in the 1950s,
most notably in the intelligent Western A Man Alone (1955). He
comfortably slipped into most genres, from romantic comedy to
adventure to film noir. Later he turned to science fiction and
horror movies, including two with cult filmmaker Roger Corman. This
first complete filmography covers the actor's screen career, with a
concise introductory biography and an appendix listing his
extensive radio and television credits.
With his rugged features and earthy sex appeal, Victor Mature
ushered in a new breed of postwar Hollywood actor, far removed from
the debonair matinee idols of the 1930s. Following success as an
upbeat leading man in the early 1940s Fox musicals, opposite the
likes of Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, he went on deliver two of
his most powerful performances in My Darling Clementine (1946) and
Kiss of Death (1947). But it was in the biblical epics such as
Samson and Delilah (1949), The Robe (1953) and Demetrius and the
Gladiators (1954) that his heartfelt acting and statuesque, larger
than life screen presence finally secured his place as a Hollywood
icon.
