The Greening of British Party Politics (Issues in Environmental Politics)

Politics & Social Sciences

Social Sciences

Manchester Univ Pr

This work, based on over 60 interviews (between 1986 and 1990) with politicians from each of the major British political parties, is concerned with an examination of the environmentalism/politics interface and how the major parties are responding in real terms to the environmental challenge. In order to supplement the interviews and party policy statements, the author looks at "green" briefing documents, speeches and key articles connected with the major parties. In particular, the author is interested in how early 70s stated concerns of the various parties and their spokespersons have translated into late 80s and early 90s commitment and action. The thesis that underlies this book is that environmentalism has manoeuvred itself into the position of being a major force for change in British society and that, as such, it needs to be examined in the context of a peculiarly British social movement operating in a political culture which specializes in accommodation and reform rather than in challenges and conflicts.

The Battle of Quatre Bras 1815

Quatre Bras was the battle that turned a campaign - a tale of triumph and disaster. The Battle of Quatre Bras 1815 is not only a significant addition to the written history of the Napoleonic Wars, it is also the first English language account to focus solely on this crucial battle of the Waterloo campaign. Mike Robinson's compelling account is based on extensive original research and includes many unpublished personal accounts from all the participating nations. The author combines this testimony with an unparalleled study of the topography of the battlefield and deep knowledge of Napoleonic warfare to tell the story of a battle where commanders made errors of omission and commission and where cowardice rubbed shoulders with heroism. Above all, it is the story of the intense human experience of those who participated in the events of those two fateful days in June 1815. A work of impressive scholarship - meticulously but not excessively referenced - well-mapped and beautifully illustrated . 'The book deserves a place on the shelves with the great historians of the battle of the first rank which followed it' - "The Spectator."

<li>Control the business logic of your applications</li> <li>Design the view for JavaServer Pages</li> <li>Validate data</li> <li>Use tiles to dynamically create pages</li> <li>Secure and troubleshoot your applications, and more</li> </ul>
Jakarta Struts saves you coding time and helps you create an extensible development environment. Jakarta Struts For Dummies provides the information you need when you need it, and even lets you get your feet wet right away by creating a special “jump start” application in Part I. Jakarta Struts For Dummies helps you <ul>
<li>Understand and apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern</li> <li>Integrate Struts into a Web application environment</li> <li>Use tag libraries to simplify your JSP pages</li> <li>Maintain control with effective security features</li> <li>Internationalize Web applications with a feature that creates easy-to-update text content, so international viewers can see pages in their own languages</li> <li>Represent all types of data, from one or two items to a huge and complex database</li> <li>Extend Jakarta’s functionality with plug-ins</li> <li>Use logging to help you troubleshoot an application</li> </ul>

There are three traps in humanity which bind you to the suffering and chaos of this planet. If you knew what these traps were and you had the tools to free yourself from the demands that they make on you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, your perception of life would change, and fear would no longer have control over you. To read this book you are going to need a passion for the truth. Mike Robinson uses words as a trigger to take you on an inner journey to realise this truth for yourself. He leaves nothing hidden, and the forces that govern this planet and all material life are revealed. These three traps are responsible for all the wars, greed and separation between one human and another. It is said that we only learn through suffering, but this statement must be a lie, because the human race has suffered for thousands of years and still we have learnt nothing. Humanity needs to know the truth of what is really going on because the illusion is killing us. This book has the potential to change the world, and it puts 'You' at the heart of that change.
