Modernise Or Decline

Policies to Maintain the Universal Postal Service in the United Kingdom : an Independent Review of the UK Postal Services Sector

By: Richard Hooper,Deirdre Hutton,Ian R. Smith

This review (Cm. 7529, ISBN 9780102958393) was established to maintain the universal postal service, that is the collection, sorting, transportation and delivery of letters to all 28 million businesses and residential addresses. It sets out a number of conclusions and recommendations on how the universal service can be maintained. The postal service is seen as having a strong social and economic rationale. Customers place a high value on the affordability of the service, on a uniform tariff, and deliveries on six days per week. The Review states that the post offices provide a vital point of access for residential consumers and small businesses. The universal service is under threat though, with the explosion of digital media - the internet, email, mobile text and broadcasting - which has prompted an unprecedented decline in the letters market. The Review does see a positive future for the postal service, provided that postal companies are able to respond quickly to the changing needs of customers and embrace the opportunities which new technology brings. Although the Royal Mail is the only company currently capable of providing the universal service in the UK, it is much less efficient than many of its European peers and faces severe difficulties. Therefore a radical reform of the Royal Mail's network is inevitable, and the organisation needs to modernise faster. To sustain the universal service, the Royal Mail needs to tackle inefficiency, the pension deficit, and the difficult relationships between the company, unions and regulator. The Review sees two distinct phases to modernisation: (i) Transformation: that is, changing the culture of the organisation, by improving efficiency and reducing costs; (ii) Diversify: that is, finding new sources of revenue either by providing related products or expanding to cover a wider geographical area. The Review believes that the Royal Mail urgently needs commercial confidence, capital and corporate experience to modernise quickly and effectively, and recommends a strategic partnership with one or more private sector companies with demonstrable experience of transforming a major business, ideally a major network business, but that Post Office Ltd should remain wholly within public sector ownership.

Fieldwork for Human Geography

By: Richard Phillips,Jennifer Johns

A highly readable and superbly fun guide to the why and how of doing fieldwork in human geography... I recommend it highly to any geographer-wannabes and practicing-geographers. The latter group, including myself, might well rediscover the fun of doing geography." - Professor Henry Yeung, National University of Singapore "An excellent introduction to the art and science of fieldwork. It makes clear that fieldwork is not just about getting out of the classroom and gaining first-hand experience of places, it is about instilling passion about those places." - Professor Stuart C. Aitken, San Diego State University "An indispensible guide to fieldwork that will enrich the practice of geography in a myriad of different ways. In particular, the diverse materials presented here will encourage students and academics alike to pursue new approaches to their work and instil a greater understanding of the conceptual and methodological breadth of their discipline." - Professor Matthew Gandy, University College London "If fieldwork is an indispensable component of geographical education then this book is equally essential to making the most of fieldwork...This book gives students the tools to realise the full potential of what, for many, is the highlight of their geography degree." - Professor Noel Castree, Manchester University Fieldwork is a core component of Human Geography degree courses. In this lively and engaging book, Richard Phillips and Jennifer Johns provide a practical guide to help every student get the most out of their fieldwork. This book: Encourages students to engage with fieldwork critically and imaginatively Explains methods and contexts Links the fieldwork with wider academic topics. It looks beyond the contents of research projects and field visits to address the broader experiences of fieldwork: working in groups, understanding your ethical position, developing skills for learning and employment and opening your eyes, ears and minds to the wider possibilities of your trip. Throughout the book, the authors present first person descriptions of field experiences and predicaments, written by fieldtrip leaders and students from around the world including the UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia and Africa.

Implied Terms in English Contract Law

By: Richard Austen-Baker

This book is the leading account of contract law in England and Wales in relation to implied terms. Implied terms are not only frequently of great importance in litigation, but can assist business parties in planning contracts effectively by allowing them to identify issues over which they do not need to negotiate because they would be content with the terms the law would imply. Distinct commercial advantages of this approach can include savings of management time in negotiating and avoiding trade-off costs demanded by counterparties in exchange for agreeing an express term.

Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #3

By: Ben Aaronovitch ,Andrew Cartmel,Richard Dinnick

Australia, 1967. The Doctor, Ace and Group Captain Gilmore’s Counter-Measures Group investigate after members Allison Williams and Rachel Jensen discover an alien spaceship at a nuclear test site. Meanwhile, in 2029, Group Captain Gilmore is found in space, in suspended animation… Back in 1967, Gilmore’s assistant, Delafield, kills a strange snake-like entity attached to civil servant Pendry – killing Pendry in the process. When a severe storm hits the ICMG’s camp, Delafield and Jonquil Sharrow kidnap Allison and Rachel, leaving the others behind – but the Doctor engineers a speedy escape. With Ace’s assistance, he makes contact with the “snakes” – in reality, friendly aliens on the hunt for deadly-but-beautiful adversaries who have secretly engineered human history of their own ends for millennia. Now, with Allison and Rachel in danger, can they and their allies prevent a global nuclear disaster?

Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1

By: Andrew Cartmel,Richard Dinnick

Operation Volcano – Part One The Seventh Doctor and Ace have long travelled through space and time in the Doctor’s TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), facing all manner of deadly alien intelligences, and witnessing countless unique wonders. Most recently, they defeated the war-like Kla-Shi-Kel – without firing a shot! Afterwards, while witnessing the Kepler Alignment – in the company of some marshmallows and a roaring fire – the TARDIS alerted them pair to an urgent request for assistance from an old friend: Group Captain Gilmore… Hill of Beans – Part One Not so long ago, the Doctor and Ace arrived at the Psychic Circus – aka The Greatest Show in the Galaxy – on the planet Segonax, where they encountered a diverse group of performers and visitors, including an explorer incongruously named Captain Cook, his companion Mags – later revealed to be an alien werewolf from the planet Vulpana – and a biker known as Nord. The circus was dominated by a troupe of sinister and deadly robot clowns, exerting their control under a strange family, the only audience to the Circus’ talent show. The Doctor and Ace eventually uncovered the terrible secret of the Circus – that the family were really the Gods of Ragnarok, powerful creatures with an insatiable craving for entertainment. With Ace’s help, the Doctor ended the god’s reign of terror, and returned the circus to the control of its original owners. This is what Mags did next…

The Three Ghosts of Tesla

By: Richard Marazano

Strange tales abound across the city that never sleeps. Mysterious lights in the depths of the river. German U-Boats sneaking inland to torpedo the Brooklyn Bridge. A spate of murders seemingly committed by clockwork contraptions. When Travis and his mother move into a dusty old New York hotel, little do they know that the strange old man at the end of the hall has all the answers. Or that he’s the greatest inventor of all time. From the award-winning Richard Marazano comes a rollicking alt-history story of science, rivalry, and genius – all leading back to the man himself, Nikola Tesla.

A Moving Image of Eternity

Timaeus and Creation

By: Richard E. Ford

Plato’s Timaeus is the most comprehensive argument in history for a universe devised and created by God; yet, paradoxically, it is probably the least understood of all the creation stories. No doubt this is because much of the argument is composed in mathematical and geometric terms that are cryptic and extremely difficult to follow. Still, Timaeus has been widely read and is much admired to this day, though it is still fraught with considerable difficulties of interpretation and understanding. In this book, the author provides detailed insights into Timaeus’s mathematics and geometry, and finds in them a unified plan that underlies all of creation. This plan not only provides for the design of the universe, but it also guides its operations to this day. Thus, the plan is eternal and fundamental to the continued functioning of the universe, and it is something that can readily be discerned in our daily lives, from our measures of time and distance to our concepts of harmony and beauty—all of which have their roots in mathematics and geometry.
