After returning from Vietnam, the author follows his wife's lead, leaving the tumult of Boston for quiet woods on the spine of the Green Mountains. As they are learning to manage the challenges of life 14 miles from the nearest store and stoplight, they turn to each other. As parents, kids and grandkids return to live on an old farm, they gather what they need from each other. Nature is their constant companion, in the driving cold of winter, the green rush of spring, summer's soft bounty and autumn's foreboding. Animals interfere unpredictably. This book is one story, stretching over the seasons and over 40 years. But it is composed of very short stories in the form of poems about events that make the family grow and adapt. In such a small setting, growth occurs in small steps. Death arrives without disguise. Each poem is matched with a photograph of places on the farm where those events occurred. The photos give readers clear pictures of astounding but sometimes harsh beauty. Living Mountain shows how one family came to treasure relative isolation, even as the young take jobs in towns and cities and return daily to live among each other.

Changing Welfare, Changing States: New Directions in Social Policy

Changing Welfare, Changing States invites us to think differently about the remaking of the relationships between welfare, state and nation. Informed by the ′cultural turn′ in the social sciences, the book reflects a commitment to the importance of rethinking social policy at a time when social, political, and intellectual certainties have been profoundly unsettled.

The Managerial State: Power, Politics and Ideology in the Remaking of Social Welfare

This original analysis of the creation of new state forms critically examines the political forces that enabled `more and better management′ to be presented as a solution to the problems of the welfare state in Britain. Examining the micro-politics within public service, the authors draw links between politics, policies and organizational power to present an incisive and dynamic account of the restructuring of social welfare. Clarke and Newman expose the tensions and contradictions in the managerial state and trace the emergence of new dilemmas in the provision of public services. They show that these problems are connected to the recurring difficulties in defining `the public′ that receives these services. In partic

Creating Citizen-Consumers: Changing Publics and Changing Public Services

Political, popular and academic debates have swirled around the notion of citizen as a consumer of public services, with public service reform increasingly geared towards a consumer society. This innovative book draws on original research with those people in the front-line of the reforms -staff, managers and users of public services - to explore their responses to this turn to consumerism. Focusing on health, policing and social care, it vividly brings to life the contentious and troubled relationships between government, services and users. Creating Citizen Consumers explores a range of theoretical, political, policy and practice issues that arise in the shift towards consumerism.It draws on recent controversies about choice in public services to bring them in line with the experiences and expectations of a consumer society. It offers a fresh and challenging use of popular understandings of the relationships between people and services to argue for a model of publicness based on interdependence, respect and partnership rather than choice.

Publics, Politics and Power: Remaking the Public in Public Services

Publics, Politics and Power explores the emergence of new forms, sites, and practices of publicness and the implications for public services. It examines the remaking of the public in the context of new formations of the nation, where issues of migration, diversity, and faith challenge traditional forms of solidarity and citizenship. It traces the emergence of hybrid organizational forms and new strategies for governing publics and public services. It suggests some of the ways in which the public domain is being recast around notions of civil society, community, and populist participatory politics.
