(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This volume offers a much-needed analysis of police abuse and its implications for our understanding of democracy. Sometimes referred to as police violence or police repression, police abuse occurs in all democracies. It is not an exception or a stage of democratization. It is, this volume argues, a structural and conceptual dimension of extant democracies. The book draws our attention to how including the study of policing into our analyses strengthens our understanding of democracy, including the persistence of hybrid democracy and the decline of democracy. To this end, the book examines three key dimensions of democracy: citizenship, accountability, and socioeconomic (in)equality. Drawing from political theory, comparative politics, and political economy, the book explores cases from France, the US, India, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada, and reveals how integrating police abuse can contribute to a more robust study of democracy and government in general.

One day, when Mary Rose Callaghan was 13, her mother jumped into the freezing Irish Sea. Knowing that her mother was an asthmatic, the shock of seeing her dive into "the deep end" began Mary Rose's curiosity about her mother's life. That curiosity spawned the writing of this memoir, a coming-of-age tale focused on Mary Rose's relationship with her mother, which endured through economic hardship, and her mother's descent into mental illness and alcoholism. The Deep End begins by tracing her mother's arrival in Ireland in the 1930s, training to be a nurse, and marriage to Mary Rose's father, continues through Mary Rose's difficult childhood and later success as a writer, and culminates with her marriage to Robert Hogan and her mother's death.

The entrepreneur is involved in the dance of two questions - what is needed and what is possible. The interplay of these two questions is an ongoing process and innovation varies internationally and regionally, depending on differing legal and policy systems, variations in the development of education and skill development, in social processes and in knowledge transfer. This book explores innovation and networks in entrepreneurship with an interdisciplinary approach, focusing on how old and new knowledge can be combined to produce radical innovation. These chapters combine themes of entrepreneurship, innovation and networks with a specifically European focus, highlighting the wide variations at the national, regional and business level. These variations suggest the need to break with traditional stereotypes about Southern and Northern Europe. The book takes a Schumpeterian perspective, emphasising the importance of looking at the history of entrepreneurship and innovation, paying particular attention to the neglected area of innovation in services within firms.

When you're living with a loved one who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease you must be able to survive one emotional upheaval after another. What is most important during this difficult time is that you not only survive the physical demands placed on you as the primary caregiver, but that you learn to cope effectively with the emotional turmoil and preserve the quality of your own life in the process. Caregivers have been known to put their own lives on hold and become entirely devoted to caregiving-making this difficult role even harder, and often compromising their own health. This needn't happen. The caregivers you will meet in this book, with whom you have much in common, have learned how to deal with the frustration, anger, and grief that come naturally to any person in this role. Through their poignant stories and personal experiences you will find the strength that you need to care for your loved one while remaining emotionally committed as the mutuality of your partnership fades. Loving and nurturing while letting go is the paradox of Alzheimer's caregiving. You can learn from the caregivers in this book what you need to do to create a satisfying life that meshes with your role as caregiver. You will ultimately be able to make the right decisions and minimize the chaos that can overwhelm you. Within are the tools you need to manage the stressors of your changing and challenging world.

This internationally comparative volume contains the results of important new research on family-owned businesses over three centuries and on three continents. Family firms have often been regarded as forces for conservatism and backwardness. Recent research has questioned this interpretation, pointing rather to the advantages of family ownership in certain contexts. The essays in this collection provide considerable support to this revisionist literature. They include studies of family firms in eighteenth-century India, of Quaker firms during the British industrial revolution, and of small firms in Victorian Edinburgh. Leading American historian of family firms, Philip Scranton, provides an important new study of family firms in Philadelphia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. There are essays by prominent Dutch and French business historians which survey the structure and performance of family firms in twentieth-century France and the Netherlands. Much of their information has never been published previously in English. Finally, Roy Church contributes a wide-ranging comparative study of the family firm in the United States, Britain, Germany and Japan over the last century. The overall conclusion of this book is that the behaviour and performance of family firms is explained by their environment rather than by their ownership structures. Family firms can provide the most effective corporate form in one culture, region, industry and time period - and they can be a competitive liability in other contexts. On the way to reaching this conclusion, the contributors to this volume paint a rich and colourful portrait of the diversity and complexity of the family firm experience over thelast three hundred years.
