In this book, leading experts in the field examine the effects of
the recent growth in concentration in the European food retailing
sector. In particular, the book develops a number of buyer power
propositions and builds on the previous work of several of the
authors, to consider how the growth of large supermarket chains
affects competition in food retailing. The authors outline the
theoretical and policy analysis underpinning the work and assess
evidence on the size and growth of supermarket chains across the
EU. Whilst not entirely critical, they suggest that there is strong
evidence in some countries that supermarkets use their buying power
to impose unfair terms and conditions on suppliers, particularly
affecting small suppliers. The authors use case studies, to provide
an in-depth analysis of four European countries, namely France,
Germany, Spain and the UK. The book ends with a discussion of
policy issues against a backdrop of likely future trends in
concentration in this area. Academics working in the areas of
microeconomics and industrial economics as well as those involved
in European competition policy more generally, such as lawyers,
civil servants and consultancy groups, will find this volume
enlightening.

Stephen Davis's brilliantly written personal account of
criss-crossing America with Led Zeppelin on their 1975 tour. A
warts-and-all snapshot of the world's biggest hard-rock band at
their peak. As a young rock writer Stephen Davis landed the
ultimate commission - touring America with Led Zeppelin. This is a
personal account by Davis of his journey, which saw him crossing
the country with the band on board the Starship, their famous
Boeing passenger jet, complete with deep shag purple carpet,
electric pianos, girlfriends and star-struck hangers-on. This is
also the story of one of the hardest-living bands in the world at
their peak. For Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John
Bonham, the most beautiful women in America tear their spangled
jackets from them and riots start outside their gigs. LZ-'75
captures a few perfect months in rock, when Led Zeppelin epitomised
the free-living rock dream, but, like Icarus, their wings were
already beginning to melt. It wouldn't be long before John Bonham
died of a vodka overdose, and punk killed their brand of monumental
rock. With it's up-close-and-personal accounts of band members,
managers, groupies, fans and drug-dealers, there's a lot of Almost
Famous about this book - Led Zep's 1975 tour is in fact the very
one on which Cameron Crowe's film was based. Stephen Davis was
barely twenty in 1975, but now he is recognised as one of the best
rock writers in the world. He is the author of the mega-selling
Hammer of the Gods - a biography of Led Zeppelin. He recently
unearthed his notebooks of the 1975 tour - which he didn't use for
Hammer of the Gods - to write LZ-'75. LZ-'75: Across America with
Led Zeppelin is a wonderful and unique thing - a beautifully
succinct account of a single moment in rock, when no lyric was too
far-fetched, no drink went undrunk and no expense was ever, ever
spared. It's a moment that will never be repeated.
