Tom is grieving for his girlfriend. Her powerful family, convinced
he is responsible for her death, place a bounty on his head. On the
run, Tom seeks refuge in the Bothy, a dilapidated moorland pub run
by ageing gangster Frank. Tom tries to keep the bounty a secret,
but news travels fast, even in the middle of nowhere. Trevor Mark
Thomas's first novel is a tense, violent drama involving desperate
characters with little to lose apart from their lives. Amid moments
of black humour and rare tenderness, buried fears and rivalries
rise to the surface, creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia that
builds to almost unbearable levels.
Evidence: Law and Context explains the key concepts of evidence law
in England and Wales clearly and concisely, set against the
backdrop of the broader political and theoretical contexts. The
book focuses on the essential topics commonly found on Evidence
courses covering both criminal evidence and civil evidence. It
takes a contextual approach discussing how wider policy debates and
societal trends have impacted upon the recent evolution of the law
in order to provide students with an explanation as to how and why
the law has developed. The fifth edition has been revised to
include: coverage of R v Hunter 2015 and its impact on good
character evidence; developments in procedures relating to young
and vulnerable witnesses; and more in-depth coverage of key cases.
Learning points summarise the major principles and rules covered
and practical examples are used throughout the text to give better
understanding as to how the technical rules are applied in
practice. Self-test questions are included in the book, helping
students to test their understanding and prepare for assessment.
Well written, clear and with a logical structure throughout, it
contains all the information necessary for any undergraduate
evidence law module.

to the effective communication of persuasive legal argument, are
essential for those seeking a career in law. The skills associated
with successful mooting, cover the entire range of the domains of

this analysis to develop a unique integrated model that informs the
process of coaching moot teams according to reliable principles.

of how a mooter's skills may be developed and improved. It is an
essential guide for moot coaches, law and advocacy students and
academics seeking to improve their skills, and new and existing

A Financial Times Book of the Year. A clear, readable analysis of
the inescapable fact that Generation Y (and subsequent generations)
will be poorer than their parents, and how we should pursue other
economic paths. If you are part of the 99% – and there is a 99%
chance that you are – then you are one of the first generation in
living memory who can expect to be poorer than your parents, even
as the economy continues to grow. And you could be quite a lot
poorer. If we continue as we are going, the civilisation we enjoy
today will not last until 2050. Buying their own house is a distant
dream for most young people; their wages are failing to keep pace
with inflation; and more and more people are having to rely on food
banks. Our age is one of chronic anxiety. If the economy is doing
so well, how can most people not be doing well? If the pie is
growing, why aren't we all getting bigger slices? This book shows
what we, the 99%, can do to end mass impoverishment and build a
society worth living in: an age of abundance, in which everyone
benefits.
Funny, provocative and moving, The Liar's Quartet includes the
scripts with brand new commentary from Mark Thomas' most acclaimed
comic, political theatre. Layered with political insight (and
insult), and peppered with anecdote, this is a bravura performance
in its own right. Each multi-award winning show examines Thomas'
obsession with the bonds that bind us, those of family, friends and
communities. Beginning with Bravo Figaro!, Mark puts on an opera in
his dying father's living room (with the help of Royal Opera House
singers) to explore their relationship. In Cuckooed, he unpicks the
betrayal of a friend and a fellow activist who was in fact employed
to spy for the UK's biggest arms company, BAE systems. And in The
Red Shed, Mark returns to his political roots to harness the power
of collective memory and celebrate the importance of working-class
struggles and narratives in a story he describes as 'a topical tale
about the miners' strike'.
These two volumes provide a range of perspectives on the collapse
of the world economy in the interwar period, a time when problems
of crisis and confrontation drastically affected world economic
performance. During this period, national and international
politics intruded upon global economic relations with more
intensity than before. Trade and finance became instruments of
government policy with the emergence of macroeconomic analyses of
domestic economic performance. While the volumes concentrate on the
major trends in the global economy as a whole, attention is also
paid to developments in particular economies. The editor's
introduction provides a thematic overview of the main questions
raised by this complex period. The Disintegration of the World
Economy Between the World Wars, with its focus upon the period's
newly developing concepts for understanding trade and the
macroeconomy, will be essential reading for understanding the
growth and development of the world economy.

Kevin Allen directs this erotic comedy adaptation of Dylan Thomas's
1954 radio play. Set in the fictional Welsh fishing village of

poetry, including two-time widow Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard (Buddug
Verona James), the music-obsessed Organ Morgan (Aneirin Hughes),
good-time girl Polly Garter (Charlotte Church) and the old, blind
seaman Captain Cat (Rhys Ifans).
In 50 Things About Us, Mark Thomas combines his trademark mix of
storytelling, stand-up, mischief and really, really well-researched
material to examine how we have come to inhabit this divided
wasteland that some of us call the United Kingdom. Based on his
latest show, 50 Things About Us, Mark picks through the myths,
historical facts and current figures of our national identities to
ask: who do we think we are?
Walter Lippmann was arguably the most recognized and respected
political journalist of the twentieth century. His "Today and
Tomorrow" columns attracted a global readership of well over ten
million. Lippmann was the author of numerous books, including the
best-selling A Preface to Morals (1929) and U.S. Foreign Policy
(1943). His Public Opinion (1922) remains a classic text within
American political philosophy and media studies. Lippmann coined or
popularized several keywords of the twentieth century, including
"stereotype," the "Cold War," and the "Great Society." Sought out
by U.S. Presidents and by America's allies and rivals around the
world, Lippmann remained one of liberalism's most faithful
proponents and harshest critics. Yet few people then or since
encountered the "real" Walter Lippmann. That was because he kept
crucial parts of himself hiding in plain sight. His extensive
commentary on politics and diplomacy was bounded by his sense that
America had to adjust to the loss of a common faith and morality in
a "post-Christian" era. Over the course of his life, Lippmann
traded in his fame as a happy secularist for the stardom of a
grumpy Western Christian intellectual. Yet he never committed
himself to any religious system, especially his own Jewish
heritage. Walter Lippmann: American Skeptic, American Pastor
considers the role of religions in Lippmann's life and thought,
prioritizing his affirmation and rejection of Christian
nationalisms of the left and right. It also yields fresh insights
into the philosophical origins of modern American liberalism,
including liberalism's blind spots in the areas of sex, race, and
class. But most importantly, this biography highlights the
constructive power of doubt. For Lippmann, the good life in the
good society was lived in irreconcilable tension: the struggle to
be free from yet loyal to a way of life; to recognize the dangers
yet also necessity of a civil religion; and to strive for a just
and enduring world order that can never be. In the end, Lippmann
manufactured himself as the prophet of limitation for an
extravagant American Century.

Mark Thomas has been touring the country for months, getting
audiences to come up with policies aimed at sorting out the
country's political chaos and taking back the power for the people.
Sick to death of bailing out bankers and subsidising MPs homes, the
audience vote on the best policy of the night to be included in the
brand new People's Manifesto. From the inspiring to the downright
hilarious, you'll wonder why these fantastic ideas aren't part of
the constitution already. For example: - All politicians will be
forced to wear the names and logos of the companies sponsor that
them or with whom they have financial links. - Anyone who supports
ID cards is banned from having curtains. - All models have to be
picked at random from the electoral register. - Anyone found guilty
of homophobic hate crime has to serve their sentence in drag. -
CEOs convicted of fraud will be made to dress as pirates in
whatever job they get in the future. The People's Manifesto will
outline 50 policies of the manifesto shouted out in bold type on a
page to themselves with Mark's commentary opposite. Mark has even
'road tested' some of them - like hosting a party in an MP's second
home (which clearly belongs to the taxpayer) and getting university
boffins to work out a way of SAT testing MPs to rank them by value.
And Mark's guerrilla antics won't end there... Power to the people
is really happening.
An analysis - and celebration - of the NHS as it turns 70. Based on
a series of interviews with leading experts in and on the NHS and
residencies in hospitals and surgeries and with director Nick Kent,
Thomas uses his own demise to explore the state we're in, and what
the future might hold for all of us.
More than almost any recent crime, the killing of two-year-old
James Bulger shocked and horrified all those who witnessed its
unfolding on security camera footage. The discovery that the
killers were but boys themselves forced a national (and
international) self-examination: what kind of society could breed
such a monstrous act? Reporter Mark Thomas tells the story of this
unthinkable crime and its aftermath. He asks the questions: How did
it happen? and How can we make sure it will never happen again?
Based on exclusive interviews with the Bulger family and many
others involved with the case, Mark Thomas writes a sensitive and
thought-provoking account of one of the most heartbreaking
tragedies of recent memory.
