For punk rockers, music and art have often been used as tools for resisting and accommodating the interests of society’s dominant classes. During the late 1970s, a predominantly white, male working/middle-class counterculture began to develop what is now known as punk rock. This book shows how punk rock serves to both subvert and accommodate the interest of late-capitalist American society by looking at the trends in the ideas, values, and beliefs transmitted through punk lyrical messages, specifically through the content of three punk record labels and how they have evolved over time.

This groundbreaking book uses the possibility that Shakespeare began his theatrical career in Lancashire to open up a range of new contexts for reading the plays, and introduces readers to the non-metropolitan theater spaces which formed a vital part of early modern dramatic activity. Essays give a detailed picture of the contexts in which the apprentice dramatist would have worked, providing new insights into regional performance, touring theatre, the patronage of the Earls of Derby, and the purpose-built theater at Prescot.

This important collection of essays focuses on the place of Roman Catholicism in early modern England, bringing new perspectives to bear on the question of whether Shakespeare himself was Catholic. Among the many topics discussed are the nature of Elizabethan Catholicism, Jesuit drama in the period, individual plays in the light of these questions, and the possible influence of religious conflicts on the publication of the Shakespeare First Folio.

"Strategic Investment Decision Making" is based upon a study of strategic investment decisions in a wide range of UK and international companies. The authors examine these decisions from the perspective of organizational decision-making theory. They find that investments are not made only by the application of formal quantitative procedures but also involve the more qualitative processes of judgement, negotiation and inspiration. The concept of decision effectiveness is examined and two primary factors identified. These are: the "objectives-attainment" factor and the "learning factor". A numbe
