The Collected Writings of Jon Thompson
This volume brings together the collected writings of British artist, writer and professor Jon Thompson. As a teacher of artists, Thompson is credited as one of the most influential of his generation. He began writing in the late 1970s, and unlike much of the previous critical writings on academic art history, Thompson's careful research, depth of historical knowledge and insight into an artist's work and approach was quickly recognised as authoritative, fresh and exciting. Thompson taught at Goldsmiths College, London, Middlesex University and Jan van Eyck Academie, The Netherlands, writing influential essays on a wide range of artists including his former students Richard Deacon, Steve McQueen and Mark Wallinger.

No Debate
During 2008-2009, Israel lobby organizations made concerted efforts to block a planned conference on statehood for Israel and Palestine at Toronto's York University. This book is a report of an independent investigation by author Jon Thompson for the Canadian Association of University Teachers, an organization that has been active in the defence of free speech and academic freedoms which have been challenged on Canadian campuses. Controversy began at York soon after the Israel-Palestine conference was advertised, and intensified over the following months. The event was repeatedly denounced, and university administrators were deluged by irate e-mails and phone calls. York, as the host univers...
Mat Collishaw
This is the most comprehensive publication on Mat Collishaw's career to date. It features an essay by Sue Hubbard, an interview by Rachel Campbell-Johnston and over 250 colour images spanning more than two decades of work. The artist is a key figure in the important generation of British artists (YBAs) who emerged from Goldsmith's College in the late 1980s. Collishaw's art envelops us in a twilight world poised between the alluring and the revolting, the familiar and the shocking, the poetic and the morbid. With a visual language embracing diverse media, the beauty of Collishaw's work draws us in - seductive, captivating, hypnotic - only to more forcefully repel us as we perceive the darker ...

Providing the UK's carrier strike capability
When the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) had started, the Department had contracts for two carriers with an estimated cost of £5.24 billion and delivery dates of 2016 and 2018. Decisions taken in the Review mean the UK will have no carrier aircraft capability from 2011-2020. While two carriers are still being built, only one will be converted to launch the planes that have now been selected, and the other will be mothballed. The UK will only have one operational carrier with a significantly reduced availability at sea when Carrier Strike capability is reintroduced in 2020. That carrier is being built according to the old design and will have to be modified to make it compa...
House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts: Carrier Strike: The 2012 Reversion Decision - HC 113
The Carrier strike u-turn will cost the taxpayer at least £74 million. When this programme got the green light in 2007, we were supposed to get two aircraft carriers, available from 2016 and 2018, at a cost to the taxpayer of £3.65 billion. We are now on course to spend £5.5 billion and have no aircraft carrier capability for nearly a decade. The MOD rushed into a decision in the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review. Just 18 months later they were forced to admit they had got it wrong and revert to the original choice of aircraft. At the time of the SDSR the Department believed the cost of converting the carriers for the new aircraft would be between £500 million and £800 million....
