When George W. Bush screamed, Youre either with us or you're against us in the war on terror. He eradicated the right of anyone to question his logic or challenge his list of terrorist organisation. Through sharing refreshment and discussion with terrorists the author discovers the human story behind the hooded caricature.
This is the first full-length study of a Welsh family of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries who were not drawn from the princely class. Though they were of obscure and modest origins, the patronage of great lords of the March – such as the Mortimers of Wigmore or the de Bohun earls of Hereford – helped them to become prominent in Wales and the March, and increasingly in England. They helped to bring down anyone opposed by their patrons – like Llywelyn, prince of Wales in the thirteenth century, or Edward II in the 1320s. In the process, they sometimes faced great danger but they contrived to prosper, and unusually for Welshmen one branch became Marcher lords themselves. Another was prominent in Welsh and English government, becoming diplomats and courtiers of English kings, and over some five generations many achieved knighthood. Their fascinating careers perhaps hint at a more open society than is sometimes envisaged.
Seeks to understand what motivates the 'terrorist' or 'freedom fighter' and to weigh this against the world events and the sweeping power of US military might. Based on research, this book tries to discover the human story behind the faceless, hooded caricature, and to test our preconceptions of just what the word terrorist actually means.
Although the human population growth rate of the world has been declining since peaking in the early 1960s, the populations of individual countries are changing at different rates. Population dynamics at national level are partly determined by levels of fertility and mortality, but the impact of international migration is playing an increasingly important role. Moreover, internal migration plays a major part in population change at the sub-national level. This fourth volume in the series “Understanding Population Trends and Processes” is a celebration of the work of Professor Philip Rees. It contains chapters by contributors who have collaborated with Phil Rees on research or consultancy projects or as postgraduate students. Several chapters demonstrate the technical nature of population projection modelling and simulation methods while others illustrate issues relating to data availability and estimation. This book demonstrates the application of theoretical and modelling methods and addresses key issues relating to contemporary demographic patterns and trends.

The report Ready For Ageing? (HL 140) investigates the outcomes of a 50% rise in the number of people aged over 65, and a 100% increase in those aged over 85, expected to occur in England between 2010 and 2030. An ageing society will greatly increase the number of people with long-term health conditions, and health and social care services will need a radically different model of care to support them. The Committee recommends that the Government publish a White Paper before the next general election setting out how our society needs to prepare for a longer life, and establish two cross-party commissions to respond to the ageing society. One would work with employers and financial services providers to improve pensions, savings and equity release; the other would analyse how the health and social care system and its funding should change to serve the needs of our ageing population. To help address a worsening of the problem of insufficient savings and pensi
