Straddling the counties of Somerset and Devon, Exmoor is a place
which never fails to stir the imagination, thanks to the coastline
of stark cliffs lining the Bristol channel, the wooded valleys,
tumbling streams and wild moorland. Designation as a national park
in 1954 has helped Exmoor's villages and small towns keep their
character and, although the moorland can undoubtedly be austere,
this unassuming corner of England has an overriding softness and
beguiling, timeless charm. The 40 walks in this guide make the most
of more than 1000km of public rights of way and the many
long-distance walks which criss-cross the landscape, offering
something for every kind of walker.

Geodemographics is the analysis of people by where they live, using
profiling, mapping and GIS software to display and analyse
geodemographic information. It focuses on the complex geographies
of consumption, behaviour, attitude, affluence and deprivation that
shape our socio-economic landscape. With an extensive range of
applications, geodemographic methods are widely used to aid
marketing, customer targeting, service delivery and strategic
decision-making in both the public and private sectors.
"Geodemographics, GIS and Neighbourhood Targeting" provides an
introduction to the methods, theories and classification techniques
that form the foundation of neighbourhood analysis and commercial
geodemographic products. It examines best practice when using
geodemographic methods, software and systems, to balance academic
theories with the realities of the business world. Theory is
presented in a user-friendly style and is supported by relevant
contributed case studies and short vignettes. Applied 'how to'
sections will appeal to those who work in business and service
planning. Features specially commissioned case studies written by
expert users of geodemographics. Focuses on presenting and using
neighbourhood classification in GIS. Considers the relevance,
strengths and limitations of the geodemographic idea for public and
private sector decision-making. Includes information of the recent
UK and US Census products and resulting classifications. Part of
the "Mastering GIS: Technology, Applications and Management"
Series, this book will appeal to professionals working with
geodemographics or neighbourhood data in marketing, retail
planning, service delivery and the public sector. It will bean
excellent introduction for upper-level undergraduate and Masters
students taking geodemographics or related modules as part of
degrees in GIS, Geography, Marketing or Business.
Regarded by many critics as Britain's best sitcom, Porridge is set
to become even more popular following the sad death of Ronnie
Barker in October 2005. His portrayal of Fletch, the experienced,
cynical old lag, won the nation's heart when the series first hit
our screens in 1973. This complete companion is the only book to
tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the series came to be made
and is packed full of never-before-published photographs and
interviews with the cast and crew. It is also the only book to
bring together the original scripts from all three series, making
this the essential souvenir for all the millions of Porridge fans.
Regarded by many critics as Britain's best sitcom, Dick Clement and
Ian La Frenais' tales of life inside Slade Prison first hit the
screens in 1973 and ran until 1977. But it has never faded from the
nation's consciousness. Ronnie Barker as Fletch the old lag and
Richard Beckinsale as Godber the naive first-time offender are
comic creations as fine as any in the history of television. Now,
for the first time, Richard Webber has brought together the
original scripts from all three series of Porridge to make this the
essential souvenir for all the many fans of this much-loved classic
comedy.
It is not lost on commercial organisations that where we live
colours how we view ourselves and others. That is why so many now
place us into social groups on the basis of the type of postcode in
which we live. Social scientists call this practice "commercial
sociology". Richard Webber originated Acorn and Mosaic, the two
most successful geodemographic classifications. Roger Burrows is a
critical interdisciplinary social scientist. Together they chart
the origins of this practice and explain the challenges it poses to
long-established social scientific beliefs such as: the role of the
questionnaire in an era of "big data" the primacy of theory the
relationship between qualitative and quantitative modes of
understanding the relevance of visual clues to lay understanding.
To help readers evaluate the validity of this form of
classification, the book assesses how well geodemographic
categories track the emergence of new types of residential
neighbourhood and subject a number of key contemporary issues to
geodemographic modes of analysis.

In August 1958, the opening scenes of a low-budget black and white
film flickered onto cinema screens up and down the country. No one
could have foreseen what impact Carry on Sergeant would have then
and in the future. Not only did it become one of the top three
grossing films for that year, it also kick started the longest
running and most successful comedy series of all time. Here, for
the very first time, is the essential biography of this most
treasured institution in the world of British cinema. Complete with
exclusive interviews with cast and crew, and the debut publication
of Vince Powell's script of Carry On Down Under, Fifty Years of
Carry On is a must for any fan of the unique and ever hilarious
spectacle that is Carry On.
