"Public Service on the Brink" describes the denigration,
unsuccessful reorganization, and general undermining of the public
service and the public service ethos over 30 or more years. It
attempts to explain how this has become a given in modern political
life in the UK.
This book is about being alone in our heads. It gives a rare
glimpse of what other people feel like: to read it is to reflect on
our own experience of being. People hide behind their appearance in
order to get by in the world. In this book men and women alike of
all ages reach beneath their skin to reveal their inner self. Am I
the same person day to day, year to year? Is there an essential
core as the layers of life are peeled away? And to what extent do
the different stages of life beg different kinds of answers to the
question "what it feels like to be me"? Readers will see how
similarly Julie aged 85 and Nina aged 14 address the questions and
how the themes thread through all the contributions. Brilliant
poems by Dannie Abse and Peter Phillips look back and forwards in
their lives. An Israeli artist looks at himself in two photographs.
Three commentators give their views: a professional counsellor, a
distinguished scientist and Dr Jonathan Miller.
