Look Up, Look Back
The English idiom picks up on virtually every corner of our life, as this third book in he series will demonstrate. In the first there were the symbols of roses, garden paths, flowers and fruit, leading to the wilder country beyond, thence rivers, bridges, sea and ocean until finally back to the home and the roof over one's head. Better than being 'between a rock and a hard place' .'Heart and Soul, when the actions of the body reveal more than one might suspect, took up all of Book 2. Here, in Book 3, there are two sections, Weather and Time:- Weather because this is perhaps the greatest talking point in Britain, and Time because we are always needing it, looking at our watches but, otherwis...

Hetty Wainthropp Investigates
The Wainthropp Detective Agency is bustling. No longer the new kid on the crime-fighting block, late-blooming gumshoe Hetty Wainthropp (Patricia Routledge, Keeping Up Appearances) gets the really tough jobs that require a head and a heart. Her uncanny ability to blend in with her surroundings brings her into contact with people from all walks of life, from marauding holigans to high society brides. Even Detective Chief Inspector Adams relies on her for sensitive cases that require her special blend of tenacity and kindness. Hetty is flattered, but clearly states her limits: "No sex scandals, no divorce, no drug running, and no industrial espionage." Still, she finds plenty of excitement in these nine new cases solved with the help of her trusty young assistant, Geoffrey (Dominic Monaghan, ABC's Lost), and devoted hubby, Robert (Derek Benfield)

Examples are introduced from all parts of the world, capturing the explosion of research on tourist behaviour, to produce a text that is strong both on theory and practical application. This is the go-to text for students and academics interested in tourist behaviour both from within the tourism field and from other fields and disciplines.
Changing the Game
How a visionary university and foundation president tackled some of the thorniest problems facing higher education As provost and then president of Princeton University, William G. Bowen (1933–2016) took on the biggest and most complex challenges confronting higher education: cost disease, inclusion, affirmative action, college access, and college completion. Later, as president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, he took his vision for higher education—and the strategies for accomplishing that vision—to a larger arena. Along the way, he wrote a series of influential books, including the widely read The Shape of the River (coauthored with Derek Bok), which documented the success of pol...

English Idiom
Part 8 in this series on the English idiom concludes my attempt to arrange expressions that are linked in some way and to see how well they dance together. How far such a metaphor can be extended is up to the reader, yet my comparison is hopefully human enough. On the dance floor a large man wheeling a small lady will appear awkward and the reverse hilarious. Literary matching may also misfire. Have I learnt anything in the process? Mostly how much of our daily speech is ironical, Take,for example, what I was so often told as a child (and since!) 'You're a great help!' - meaning, in fact, the opposite? Just catch the tone of the speaker. The joke is always precariously on oneself in the colloquial if never in standard 'received English', so called:-- fine in itself but not something one can have fun with... and, oh dear, I shall be in trouble now with someone for ending my sentence with a preposition...so, for any who insist, something with which one can have fun. Get it right! Enjoy the dance.
