Raised Embroidery
Raised embroidery - a craft form incorporating surface stitchery, needlelace and several other embroidery techniques - was enormously popular in the 17th century and has since enjoyed a revival. Compared with other types of embroidery which lend themselves to geometric patterns or to conveying nature, raised embroidery offers a medium for depicting human life.

These essays focus on the global impact of legal policies on levels of poverty.
A Study of the Parallels between Visual Art and Music
Standard surveys of 20th century visual art imply that there is a continuity between, say, Rembrandt and Koons, between Caravaggio and Hirst. Even the sharp critics of artists who dominate the contemporary art scene, such as Warhol, Hirst, Ai Weiwei and countless others, imply such a continuity. They are all wrong. There is no such continuity, or, more precisely, it is only very weak, at best. This book explains why and how the claims regarding this continuity are false, and how we arrived at this point of great confusion about the arts.

Strikes in Politicisation
First published in 1998, this book, through a combination of theoretical and empirical research, tries to advance beyond the available literature to an understanding of the links between strike activity and the political process. Although its primary focus is upon the long-term impact of the 1984/85 Miners’ Strike, it discusses other industrial settings and ‘political’ disputes. By linking the political socialisation process with strike activity in a refreshing and thought-provoking manner, this book provides an insight into why some people are more interested and involved in political activity in comparison with the population at large.
