Evictions in the UK examines the relationships between tenants,
landlords, housing providers and government agencies and the
tensions and conflicts that characterise these relations. The book
shows how power dynamics are being reconfigured in the post-welfare
context of the first quarter of the 21st century, as evictions for
rent arrears are becoming one of the most significant threats to
both the wellbeing of the social housing sector and the welfare of
its tenants. Embracing both practical and critical approaches, this
book offers a comprehensive understanding of the contradictory and
thus controversial issue of evictions. It explores the range of
perspectives involved in the practice - landlords carrying out
evictions, those agencies providing legal assistance to evictees,
as well as academics and institutions charged with researching and
regulating the process. Drawing on three case studies relating to
evictions across Scotland and England, this book provides a
comprehensive look at the punitive consequences of poverty
(evictions for rent arrears) and status (evictions under
immigration law) that are applicable to social housing systems
worldwide. Based on original, primary-source data, this book will
be a key resource for academics and students as well as policy
makers and practitioners in the fields of housing studies,
planning, social welfare, and political sociology.

Tragic Sense of Life is a book of philosophical reflection which
considers the nature and transience of humanity, the trials -
physical, societal and emotional - of existence, together with
death and the afterlife. A superb treatise whereby the author's
intellect is unleashed upon a variety of questions, this text
combines the passionate liveliness found in Unamuno's fictional
efforts with a thought-provoking gravitas cast upon life and
living. The towering ambitions of man are shown to pale in the face
of limitations and reality: immortality, the greatest aspiration of
all, is but an impossibility. The title, in alluding to tragedy,
foretells the author's argument that life and human nature have a
strong streak of absurdity. In the final chapter, the author
compares the classic story of Don Quixote - the man whose mad
ambition led him to ride his horse in four directions at once -
with everyday human life.
