Ha'way the Lad
Paul Gascoigne is one of England's most talented footballers. The success or failure of the England team has much to do with whether Gascoigne is present and fit - sadly, not always the case in recent games. His most recent injury, a broken leg sustained during practice in April 1994, has been another bitter blow to English football. local club, Newcastle United. His precocious talent marked him out for attention from the big league clubs, and in 1988 struggling Newcastle sold him to Tottenham Hotspur for #2 million. Soon Spurs were themselves struggling, financial problems having precipitated a boardroom battle. Gascoigne was again sold, this time to the Italian club Lazio for a record breaking #5.25 million.

Science in the Service of Empire
Joseph Banks is one of the most significant figures of the English Enlightenment. This book places his work in promoting 'imperial science', in the context of the consolidation of the British State during a time of extraordinary upheaval. The American, French and Industrial Revolutions unleashed intense and dramatic change, placing growing pressure on the British state and increasing its need for expert advice on scientific matters. This was largely provided by Banks, who used his personal networks and systems of patronage to integrate scientific concerns with the complex machinery of government. In this book, originally published in 1998, Gascoigne skilfully draws out the rich detail of Banks' life within the broader political framework, and shows how imperial concerns prompted interest in the possible uses of science for economic and strategic gain. This is an important examination of the British State during a time of change and upheaval.
