A collection of 27 paintings of the Great Western Railway by Don Breckon accompanied by detailed commentaries, and an extensive introductory text with its own range of illustrations. The works incorporate features such as junction connections, double-headed expresses, depots and wayside stations.
Detailed commentaries of the Great Western Railway accompany 27 full-color finished paintings; 30 drawings show the artist's work in progress.
These paintings commemorate the links that flourished with the transportation of coal, milk and mail as well as passengers. They record the trains, fast and slow; the stations, viaducts, cuttings and embankments that sprang up; and the men who operated and maintained the railway. A spectacular gallery of over 20 full-page colour reproductions is complemented by detailed captions describing the background to each picture and texts from several contributing authors, recounting their first-hand experiences on the country railway - as passengers, employees and enthusiasts, Preliminary sketches and enlarged details show the development of the paintings and help to illustrate the artist's meticulous technique.

The last decade has seen a growing focus on producing evidence-based policy and practice in governments around the world - with a specific focus on causal evidence of the impacts of a particular policy on outcomes for citizens. The UK is a key example of this, with the establishment of 14 What Works Centres which collate, create and translate evidence in different policy and practice domains. In this book, leaders, researchers and practitioners from these institutions share insights to help understand what has worked so far in the Centres, and what could be done better in future. It offers guidance to policy makers and funders looking to establish new centres, and for academics looking to create similar institutions that can have a practical impact on the improvement of the world around us.
