The Architecture of Privacy
Annotation Technology's influence on privacy has become a matter of everyday concern for millions of people, from software architects designing new products to political leaders and consumer groups.

Explaining local government
Explaining local government, available at last in paperback, uniquely presents a history of local government in Britain from 1800 until the present day.

The book is accessible to A level and undergraduate students as an introduction to the development of local government in Britain but also balances values and political practice to provide a unique explanation, using primary research, of the evolution of the system.
