What Works Now?
Building substantially on the earlier, landmark text, What Works? (Policy Press, 2000), this book brings together key thinkers and researchers to provide a contemporary review of the aspirations and realities of evidence-informed policy and practice. The text is clearly structured and provides sector-by-sector analysis of evidence use in policy-making and service delivery. It considers some cross-cutting themes, including a section of international commentaries, and concludes by looking at lessons from the past and prospects for the future. This book will be of interest to a wide range of social science researchers, students and practitioners as well as those interested in supporting more evidence-informed policy and practice.

Spying for Wellington
Intelligence is often the critical factor in a successful military campaign. This was certainly the case for Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, in the Peninsular War. In this book, author Huw J. Davies offers the first full account of the scope, complexity, and importance of Wellington’s intelligence department, describing a highly organized, multifaceted series of networks of agents and spies throughout Spain and Portugal—an organization that was at once a microcosm of British intelligence at the time and a sophisticated forebear to intelligence developments in the twentieth century. Spying for Wellington shows us an organization that was, in effect, two parallel networks: one ma...

Introductory Immunobiology
Why immunobiology? Immunology is the study of the immune system - the internal defence reactions that protect the body from invading microorganisms and the diseases they cause. Spectacular advances have been made over the last few decades in understanding how the immune system works. There is no doubt that these advances have been made possible by concentrating research on a few species of animals, most notably mouse and man. The main motiva tion for studying the human system, for example, has been to further the cause of medicine. Indeed, the roots of modern immunology can be traced back to pioneering studies of vaccines against viruses and bacteria. The vaccine n. a mouse has become the fa...
The Shadow of the Mine
No one personified the age of industry more than the miners. The Shadow of the Mine tells the story of King Coal in its heyday – and what happened to mining communities after the last pits closed.
