Surveys show a lack of trust in political actors and institutions across much of the democratic world. Populist politicians and parties attempt to capitalise on this political disaffection. Commentators worry about our current 'age of anti-politics'. Focusing on the United Kingdom, using responses to public opinion surveys alongside diaries and letters collected by Mass Observation, this book takes a long view of anti-politics going back to the 1940s. This historical perspective reveals how anti-politics has grown in scope and intensity over the last half-century. Such growth is explained by citizens' changing images of 'the good politician' and changing modes of political interaction between politicians and citizens. Current efforts to reform and improve democracy will benefit greatly from the new evidence and conceptual framework set out in this important study.

Description

In this marvellous book Nick Clark enlightens us with many an insightful thought. 'Love in the Prison of Psychosis' is an incredibly detailed account on what it's like to live with schizophrenia; Nick leads us through the corridors of his sophisticated mind with a richness of language that's hard to ignore and a pleasure to read. This is a strongly written and cathartic book, one that surprises and informs at every juncture. Interesting, enjoyable and eloquent, it is a pleasure to add this book to Chipmunka's expanding roster.

In his busy studio or in the quiet of the Hertfordshire countryside, ace photographer Brian Lipman is never without a luscious model in tow, and sometimes he even takes a few pictures after the pretty girl has shed all her inhibitions along with her clothes. For this is life in swinging London of the mid-1960s and Brian's friend, young Ivor Belling of Cable Publicity, finds himself called upon to lend a hand when asked to help satisfy the demands of Lipman's lustful females. Soon they're invited to Glasgow by a bevy of uninhibited Scottish beauties and find themselves participants in some thrillingly uninhibited Highland Games. And Ivor and Brian must also take into account the needs of the Churchmill Model Agency girls -- but is their equipment up to the challenge? This is the latest installment in the sexy Swingers series.
