Sir Peter Scott
Describes the life of the artist, sportsman, and champion for wildlife who became the founder of the World Wide Fund for Nature and made many people aware of the need for conservation.
Peter Scott
Peter Scott: Collected Writings, 1933-1989 brings together some of Peter Scott's most inspiring, perceptive and entertaining writings, with a foreword by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. From rocket-netting wild geese to an address to the Pope, Scott's writings show the energy and passion that underpinned his commitment to nature conservation. Produced for a range of publications over more than fifty years, many of the nearly forty pieces in this volume have never been published in book format before.
Triumph of the South
This book provides a scholarly but accessible account of British regional development during the twentieth century, focusing on the emergence and development of the 'North-South' divide. Beginning with regional imbalance in the Victorian and Edwardian economies, the book goes on to discuss the effects on the First World War and its aftermath, which created a discernible split between the depressed North and West, and the relatively prosperous South. Attention is also paid to the impact of government policy on regional development during the interwar years and beyond, and factors affecting industrial location in this period.
Peter Scott, Painter and Naturalist
From the author of The Flame Trees of Thika comes the intriguing biography of Peter Scott, the "father of conservation", and cofounder of the World Wildlife Fund. Behiind Scott's charm and single-minded devotopn to his chosen causes Huxley reveals a complex character. Illustrations.
Governing Universities
The governance of higher education in the UK was regarded until recently as the 'dignified' element within the constitution of the academy. University councils were trustees rather than directors. But governance is now a contested area and, in particular, lay governors are seen as key change agents, responsible for reforming the old donnish culture of elite higher education. Governing Universities explores who governors are, how they conceive of their new roles, and what they think about higher education policy. It examines whether governing bodies have become more actively engaged in setting institutional policies; and whether governors have changed the old culture or gone 'native'. It sets university governance in the large context of the massification and 'marketization' of higher education; and draws comparisons both with other parts of the public sector and the private sector, and with governance in North America and the rest of Europe.
