The rapid expansion of higher education provision, particularly
in Europe and North America during the 1960s opened up for the
first time the question whether everyone should have the
opportunity to experience the benefits of higher university and
other institutions. The contributors are economists, sociologists
and politicians and all have different assumptions, commitments and
postures.
This series of edited papers, originally published in 1982,
examines Britain's industrial and commercial performance in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries against the background of the
development of state education. The performance of certain key
nineteenth-century manufacturing industries is analysed and the
reasons for their relative decline in the face of foreign
competition is assessed. Further, the title examines the present
and future of British industry contending that the British Malaise
is a disease of industrial dyslexia, the inability to match the
industrial problems of the real world with variable industrial
objectives and performance.
First published in 1988, this book is built around the trio of
interrelated themes of 'The State', 'Culture', and 'Education'. The
essays look at a variety of institutions, including the BBC, The
British Library and the Arts Council, and discuss the educational
roles that they adopt and how they set the national cultural
agenda. They also explor

The second edition of An Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery builds on
the success of the first, with an international selection of expert
contributors to represent the current practice of foot and ankle
surgery throughout the world. The material in this atlas is
presented according to how foot and ankle pathology is encountered
by most orthopaedic surgeons in their practice. Some chapters deal
with individual common procedures, such as the soft tissue
procedure for hallux valgus: in these, technical details and
variations of technique are presented. Other chapters deal with
diagnoses, such as metatarsalgia or cavus foot, and a number of
different surgical treatment options are described. The scope of
each chapter exceeds surgical instructions alone: the respective
pathology is detailed, as are diagnostic techniques and alternative
methods of treatment. The Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery should be
of interest not only to inexperienced specialist surgeons, but also
to the general orthopaedists and surgeon in training with an
interest in disorders of the foot and ankle.
As the UK enters a period of intense public introspection in the
wake of Brexit, this book takes on one of the key questions
emerging from the divisive process: what is Britain's place in the
world? The Middle East is one of the regions the UK has been most
engaged in historically. This book assesses the drivers of foreign
policy successes and failures and asks if there is a way to
revitalise British influence in the region, and if this is even
desirable. The book analyses the values, trade and security
concerns that drive the UK's foreign policy. There are separate
chapters on the non- Arab powers - Israel, Turkey and Iran - as
well as chapters on the Middle Eastern Arab states and regions
including the Gulf, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria and the Levant. The
contributions are from leading specialists in the field: Rosemary
Hollis, Michael Clarke, Ian Black, Bill Park, Christopher Phillips,
Sanam Vakil, Michael Stephens and Louise Kettle. They each explain
and re-assess the declining western influence and continued
instability in the region and what this means for the UK's
priorities and strategy towards the MENA. This is an essential book
for policy makers, journalists and researchers focused on foreign
policy towards the Middle East.
