The product of detailed empirical research into the politics of the electronics industry in Britain, France, and Germany, this book applies the Weberian theory of social closure to analyze competitive struggles in the industry. It shows how different combinations of market closure and competition arise from variations in technology, economic structure, and political regime and how general processes such as trade liberalization and technological change produce very different outcomes according to the specific features of the industry in its national context.

The plight of Catholics in Elizabethan England has long attracted the interest of historians and it has long been appreciated that the key to understanding their position lies partly in the voluminous polemical literature which they published. Nearly three hundred tracts were printed in English and Latin and more circulated in manuscript. The purpose of this book is to use such material as a source for understanding the political ideas of this religious minority in the age of the Wars of Religion. Dr Holmes concentrates on the two principal dilemmas which faced Catholics: whether they should remain loyal to the Queen or might resist her government and how far, if loyal, they might accommodate themselves to the religious laws she imposed on all Englishmen. He sees the Catholic response to both these problems as being in essence an interplay between the desire to resist and the need to find compromise or some means of peaceful accommodation with the political and religious status quo.

The cheque's in the post. I'm still at the office. That looks great on you. Lies make the world go round. And in this book theWould I Lie To You? team celebrates the fine art of the everyday fib.Like the deliriously funny contributions of Rob Brydon, Lee Mack and David Mitchell in the hugely successful panel game, here is a delightful collection of 100 fibs that all of us can recognise. Lies like: I didn't even notice she was pretty; I'm working from home tomorrow; and wow, your tattoo looks really... interesting. Written in the same warm, witty and inspired tone that's made the TV show such a hit, the book uncovers the littledeceptions that strike a chord with all of us. There are the lies we tell others, the lies people tell us and the lies we tell ourselves. Each entry in the book is laugh-out-loud funny, and filled with more than a little bit of painful truth. If you're a fan of the show, a lover of spot-on observational comedy, or have ever told a porky,Would I Lie To You? Presents the 100 Most Popular Lies of All Time is the book you've been waiting for.
