than the best-selling Harry Hole series, and this tenth outing for
the Norwegian detective is the best yet' Sunday Mirror on POLICE
Almost 117 million passengers flew on Europe's low cost airlines
in 2006. This statistic would have seemed beyond belief in the
mid-1980s when air transport was a heavily regulated sphere.
This book examines the deregulation which has taken place since
then and in particular looks at the single most important
reprurcussion of the deregulation of Europe's skies - the rise of
the low cost airline. Sean Barret has been involved in the debates
surrounding this right from the start and is well placed to provide
a scholarly study of the issue. The book spends much time looking
at the success of Ryanair in this period - this provides the
perfect case study given the dominant role that the company has
taken up over recent years.
Over the past twenty years air fares in Europe have fallen
steadily. New entrant airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet have
become the largest passenger airlines in Europe, old national
airlines have become commercialised and staff productivity of
airlines and airports now compete. The reason behind these changes
was the change in policy from protecting national airlines to
market competition. This book documents a dramatic change in the
economic policy surrounding the low-cost airlines and the airport
industry as a whole. In this fascinating monograph, Dr Barrett
provides a full deregulation case study from market control by
national airlines through regulatory capture of governments to the
transformed competitive market today. The topics covered include
the deregulation of Europe's busiest route - London to Dublin, the
market entry of Ryanair and its sustainability, the outlook for
full service airlines, the commercialisation of national airlines
and the impact of airports on competing airlines. Through a
discussion of controversial issues such as the regulation capture
of government by protected airlines, the dominance of producers
over consumers in protected markets and the costs of protectionism
in aviation to the wider economy, Dr Barrett's book will be of
interest to anyone involved in the airline business, as well as to
wider public or competition policy-makers.

Young, rich widow Diana Porteous has inherited a vast collection of
paintings, but she feels without purpose again. Then her beloved
stepgrandson comes up with the idea for an exhibition of portraits
with the title 'A Question of Guilt'. It starts as a joke, but soon
they are preparing the huge wine cellar of the old schoolhouse by
the sea, in spite of those with misgivings as to its suitability.
Soon Di has plenty to occupy her: a mysterious woman encourages Di
and her friend Sarah Fortune, both natural thieves, to steal from a

the cellar. A novel of conundrums, paintings, moral uncertainties
and family relationships, A Painted Smile continues the adventures
of two of Frances Fyfield's most beloved characters and will win
over many more fans of quality fiction.
