In the increasingly questioning world of the 1990s, the role of the monarchy in a democracy is again coming under scrutiny. Its critics argue that the monarchy is a profoundly conservative institution which serves to inhibit social change; that it has outlived its usefulness; that it symbolizes and reinforces deference and hierarchy; and that its radical reform is therefore long overdue. Rejecting these arguments, Vernon Bogdanor makes a powerful case for the positive role that monarchy plays in modern democratic politics. Ranging across law, politics, and history he argues that far from un

These essays analyze "joined-up government", consider its history, and evaluate the consequences for British institutions such as the Cabinet, the civil service and local authorities. The Labour government, first elected in 1997, decided that intractable problems such as social exclusion, drug addiction and crime could not be resolved by a single department of government. Instead, such problems had to be made the object of a concerted attack using all the arms of government--central and local government and public agencies, as well as the private and voluntary sectors. This volume brings toget

Throughout its long and colourful history, St. Augustine, Florida has been home to pirates and villains, marauders and despots. But it wasn’t until the late 1980s that the city’s red-light district, known locally as Crack Head Corner, became the hunting ground for a serial killer whose brutality knew no bounds. On November 29, 1988, Anita Stevens, 27, climbed into a stranger’s vehicle, thinking to turn a quick trick to fund her drug habit. She was the first to die. Over the next six years, six more prostitutes would fall victim to the same phantom killer, slain by gun, blunt

In this fully revised and updated book, an internationally known neurosurgeon and researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital outlines the latest treatments that help reverse memory loss: New forms of memory recently discovered by rese
