The Transformation of British Welfare Policy
Since 2010 the UK has enacted radical welfare reforms that have led to greater poverty, homelessness, indebtedness, and foodbank use. It has diverged from other European countries experiencing similar economic and social trends, who have not enacted such dramatic cuts and reforms.

Halfway around the world a barely-alive child is placed in an orphanage under the care of Sister Christiana, a Catholic nun whose unselfish dedication to children is shaken by her desire for something more.Can Patrick find his way past his instinct to control the world around him and open his heart again?

And as these uncharted journeys move forward they reveal to us that there is always a “gift” waiting somewhere in our lives if we are willing to recognize and embrace it.

The Language Dynamic
"The Language Dynamic identifies a number of mechanisms that enable the meaning potential of language from the phoneme through grammar and discourse and onto ideological systems. This book, which underpins functional theories of language with concepts from biological and cultural evolution, social semiotics and systems theory, is relevant to all who are interested in how and why we can mean and what it means for us as humans to be semiotic agents"--
