Young people who come into contact with police officers on the
streets today have little idea of the significance of the stabbing
to death of Stephen Lawrence in a racist attack in 1993. Only their
parents or grandparents remember the daily exposures of police
incompetence and indirect racism which were given high profile in
the media for six months. The repercussions of the case are still
ongoing with the long overdue conviction in 2012 of two of the
original suspects, and in the same year a number of racist assaults
by police. This accessible and engaging book includes analysis of
hitherto inaccessible transcripts. These dramatically show how the
Inquiry was undermined to the point of failure to produce the
desired results. Dr Stone also discusses contemporary issues and
the relevance of the Inquiry today. This paperback edition is
updated with a new Afterword, including revelations about police
surveillance on members of the public who attended the Lawrence
Inquiry, Dr Stone's meeting with Mark Ellison QC prior to the
release of his report on possible corruption and the role of
undercover policing in the Stephen Lawrence case, and proposals for
action on implementation of the agenda set by the Lawrence Inquiry.
Hard-hitting and full of insightful detail, this book makes
essential reading for academics, students, researchers and anyone
interested in institutional racism, particularly in the police.
Recent discussions of self-realization have devolved into
unscientific theories of self-help. However, this vague and often
misused concept is connected to many important individual and
social problems. As long as its meaning remains unclear, it can be
abused for social, political, and commercial malpractices. To
combat this issue, this book shares perspectives from scholars of
various philosophical traditions. Each chapter takes new steps in
asking what the meaning of self-realization is-both in terms of
what it means to understand who or what one is, and also in terms
of how one can, or should, fulfilll oneself. The conceptual
elucidations achieved from both theoretical and practical
perspectives allow for a more mature awareness of how to deal with
discourses on self-realization and, in any case, can help to
demystify the subject.

First published in 1951, and originally delivered as the Newmarch
Lectures for 1948 9, this book examines the role of measurement in
obtaining and applying economic knowledge. Esteemed economist
Richard Stone, who went on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics,
divides his topic into four sections: questions of fact and
empirical constructs; the truth or falsity of a hypothesis; the
estimation of parameters; and questions of prediction. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in economics and the
development of the discipline.
These lectures focus on twelve pioneers of economic, demographic
and social statistics ranging from the seventeenth century to the
end of the nineteenth century. The first lecture discusses the work
of the political arithmeticians including William Petty, Founding
Fellow of the Royal Society. The second lecture considers three
steps in the development of quantitative economics in the form of
Bishop Fleetwood, Arthur Young and Patrick Colquhoun. In the third
lecture Stone turns to demography, and to John Graunt, Edmond
Halley and William Farr. The fourth lecture deals with social
statistics in the persons of Frederick Morton Eden, Florence
Nightingale and Charles Booth.
This book contains a full translation of a major but little-known
Soviet work on Soviet national income accounts for a crucial stage
in the social and economic transformation of the Soviet economy
from 1928 to 1930. These were years of mass collectivisation and
the launching of the Soviet industrialisation drive. The USSR was
perhaps unique in having a well-developed statistical service able
to record the detailed changes in economic relationships that were
taking place at this time. The translation is accompanied by three
introductory articles which explain the structure and contents of
these materials, what new light these materials throw on the
development of the Soviet economy in this period and describe the
significance of these materials for the history of Soviet
statistics and planning. Amongst other questions this evidence
casts some doubt on recent attempts to show that Soviet
industrialisation resulted in a change in the net flow of goods
between industry and agriculture, in favour of agriculture. It also
shows that considerable attempts were made by some influential
statisticians and planners in the early 1930s to analyse the
relationship between different branches and sectors of the economy.
In a foreword Professor Sir Richard Stone sets the achievement of
the construction of these materials in the context of the history
of Western works on national income accounts.

19th century. The first lecture discusses the work of the political

The Newport Medieval Ship is the most important late-medieval
merchant vessel yet recovered. Built c.1450 in northern Spain, it
foundered at Newport twenty years later while undergoing repairs.
Since its discovery in 2002, further investigations have
transformed historians' understanding of fifteenth-century ship
technology. With plans in place to make the ship the centrepiece
for a permanent exhibition in Newport, this volume interprets the
vessel, to enable visitors, students and researchers to understand
the ship and the world from which it came. The volume contains
eleven chapters, written by leading maritime archaeologists and
historians. Together, they consider its significance and locate the
vessel within its commercial, political and social environment.
