The era of post-colonialism and globalisation has brought new
intensities of debate concerning the existence of diversity and
plurality, and the need to work in partnerships to resolve major
problems of injustice and marginalisation now facing local and
global communities. The Church is struggling to connect with the
significant economic, political and cultural changes impacting on
all types of urban context but especially city centres, inner rings
and outer estates and the new ex-urban communities being developed
beyond the suburbs. This book argues that theology and the church
need to engage more seriously with post-modern reality and thought
if points of connection (both theologically and pastorally) are
going to be created. The author proposes a sustained engagement
with a key concept to emerge from post-modern experience - namely
the concept of the Third Space. Drawing on case studies from Europe
and the USA primarily, this book examines examples of Third Space
methodologies to ask questions about hybrid identities and methods
churches might adopt to effectively connect with post-modern cities
and civil society. Particular areas of focus by the author include:
the role and identity of church in post-modern urban space; the
role of public theology in addressing key issues of marginalisation
and urbanisation as they impact in the 21st century; the nature and
role of local civil society as a local response to globalised
patterns of urban, economic, social and cultural change.
'If you want to read a book that moves you both at the level of
sentence and the quality of language and with the emotional depth
of its subject matter, then A Fortunate Woman is definitely the
book you should be reading' Samanth Subramanian, Baillie Gifford
Judge When Polly Morland is clearing out her mother's house she
finds a book that will lead her to a remarkable figure living on
her own doorstep: the country doctor who works in the same remote,
wooded valley she has lived in for many years. This doctor is a
rarity in contemporary medicine, she knows her patients inside out,
and their stories are deeply entwined with her own. In A Fortunate
Woman, with its beautiful photographs by Richard Baker, Polly
Morland has written a profoundly moving love letter to a landscape,
a community and, above all, to what it means to be a good doctor.
'Morland writes about nature and the changing landscape with such
lyrical precision that her prose sometimes seems close to poetry'
Christina Patterson, The Sunday Times 'Timely . . . compelling . .
. a delicately drawn miniature' The Financial Times 'This book
deepens our understanding of the life and thoughts of a modern
doctor, and the modern NHS, and it expands movingly to chronicle a
community and a landscape' Kathleen Jamie, The New Statesman

This latest volume of Studies in the Development of Accounting
Thought, edited by Martin E. Persson, contains ten manuscripts,
seven being previously unpublished, authored by C. Richard Baker
during an academic career that spans four decades. Historical
Developments in the Accountancy Profession, Financial Reporting,
and Accounting Theory is divided into two thematic sections. The
first covers developments in accounting thought on financial
reporting and the accountancy profession, whereas the second
section covers developments related to accounting measurements and
theory. The historical examination of the development of accounting
thought serves as a unifying theme throughout this edited volume,
which attempts to pick up on various understudied threads of
academic and professional initiatives over the past several hundred
years. The material is of value to anyone interested in the
intellectual history of the accounting discipline.

ethics.
Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting is
devoted to publishing high-quality research and cases that focus on
the professional responsibilities of accountants and how they deal
with the ethical issues they face. The series features articles on
a broad range of important and timely topics, including
professionalism, social responsibility, corporate responsibility,
ethical judgments, and accountability. The professional
responsibilities of accountants are broad-based; they must serve
clients and user groups whose needs, incentives, and goals may be
in conflict. Further, accountants must interpret and apply codes of
conduct, accounting and auditing principles, and securities
regulations. Compliance with professional guidelines is
judgment-based, and characteristics of the individual, the culture,
and situation affect how these guidelines are interpreted and
applied, as well as when they might be violated. Interactions
between accountants, regulators, standard setters, and industries
also have ethical components. Research into the nature of these
interactions, resulting dilemmas, and how and why accountants
resolve them is the focus of this journal.
