Sensations presents a radically new story of British art. It connects the artists of today with British culture more than three hundred years ago as it finds an unexpected thread that links William Hogarth and Tracey Emin, Thomas Gainsborough and Lucian Freud. What they share is an eye for the real world. Jonathan Jones hopes this book will change how you see Britain, and its art.

Pervez Tahir (SE 1984)

This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in how the history of economic thought can inform and progress development economics.
Joan Robinson was a member of the famous Keynes Circus of young economists at Cambridge in the 1930's. She was a theorist par excellence, making outstanding contributions to the understanding of competition, aggregate demand and capital. At the same time, she developed an interest in underdeveloped economies and alternatives to capitalism that eventually produced a long list of writings on China between the 1950s to the 1970s.

Whitty-Collins sets out the psychology of gender diversity from the perspective of real personal experience.The book tackles the burning questions: if women have equal leadership ability, why are they so under-represented at the top of organisations both in the private and public sector and in society as a whole? Why are we still living in a man’s world where virtually all the top jobs are occupied by men? And why do we accept it?
