Problem-oriented Policing and Partnerships

By: Karen Bullock,Rosie Erol,Nick Tilley

This book makes an important contribution to the literature on problem-oriented policing, aiming to distill the British experience of problem-oriented policing. Drawing upon over 500 entries to the Tilley Award since its inception in 1999, the book examines what can be achieved by problem-oriented policing, what conditions are required for its successful implementation and what has been learned about resolving crime and disorder issues. Examples of problem-oriented policing examined in this book include specific police and partnership initiatives targeting a wide spectrum of individual problems (such as road safety, graffiti and alcohol-related violence), as well as organisational efforts to embed problem-oriented work as a routine way of working (such as improving training and interagency problem solving along with more specific challenges like improving the way that identity parades are conducted. This book will be of particular interest to those working in the field of crime reduction and community safety in the police, local government and other agencies, as well as students taking courses in policing, criminal justice and criminology.

A Small Fortune

By: Rosie Dastgir

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Small Fortune

By: Rosie Dastgir

A smart debut novel that explores the complexities of cultural differences, family loyalties, and what is lost in translation. Harris, the patriarch of his large extended family in both England and Pakistan, has unexpectedly received a “small fortune” from his divorce settlement with an English woman. As a devout Muslim, Harris views this sum as a “burden of riches” that he must unload on someone else as quickly as possible. But deciding which relative to give it to proves to be a burden of its own, and soon he has promised it both to his extremely poor cousins in Pakistan and to his Westernized, college student daughter. In a rash bout of guilt and misunderstanding, Harris signs the entire sum away to the least deserving, most prosperous cousin of all, exacerbating a tricky web of familial debt and obligation on two sides of the world. With insight, affection, and a great gift for character and story, Rosie Dastgir immerses us in a rich, beautifully drawn immigrant community and a complex extended family. She considers the challenges between relatives of different cultural backgrounds, generations, and experiences—and the things they have to teach one another. A Small Fortune offers an affecting look at class, culture, and the heartbreak of misinterpretation.

Television Comedy and Femininity

Queering Gender

By: Rosie White

Can comedy on television harbour elements of gender transgression or subversion? If a man is permitted to be 'funny peculiar' – playing the underdog or misfit – does a woman seem stranger in his place? Mapping examples from British and American comedy television over the past 60 years, from I Love Lucy to The Big Bang Theory and Smack the Pony to Waiting For God, this book asks: are particular forms of television comedy gendered in specific ways? Paying attention to series which have not been addressed in academic work, as well as more established shows, White offers fresh insights for the fields of television studies, gender and women's studies, cultural history and comedy.

All My Sins Remembered

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

From the acclaimed author of Sun at Midnight comes a saga of family, love, and betrayal set against the backdrop of two world wars. Cousins Clio Hirsh and Grace Stretton were born within hours of each other and raised as sisters in the innocent days before the Great War. But as they grow up, Grace is the one who enchants all those who meet her, leaving shy and quiet Clio to fade into the background. Even as time, ambition, and the winds of war take their lives in different directions—Grace into the arms of a dependable stockbroker and Clio into the literary world of Paris and Berlin—jealousy and bitterness simmer beneath their friendship. Decades later, Clio recounts the story of her family to her biographer. She tells of her brother Jake’s wartime experiences and medical career; Clio and Grace’s early years in bohemian London; younger brother Julius’s career as a concert violinist. But for herself, Clio remembers a different story―one of tragedy, heartbreak, and secrets. And above all, the surprising truth about her mesmerizing cousin Grace. “A master storyteller.” —Cosmopolitan

They thought their parents couldn’t be more embarrassing – then they got worse! And what could be worse than having a temperamental mother who is expecting a baby (and by Melvyn), like Laura? Perhaps having a father who is a ‘wannabe’ chef and a mother who writes about you in the local paper, like Chelsea? What about Jemma’s parents, who tell her she’s too young for a boyfriend in front of her boyfriend? Or Sumitha’s who won’t stop telling her boyfriend how suitable he is?

Lovers and Newcomers

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

“One of the best storytellers around . . . turns her attention to the trials and tribulations of turning 60 . . . A sure-fire winner” (Daily Express). Rosie Thomas, beloved by readers for her brilliantly realized characters and twisting, page-turning plots, turns her “sharp nib” to a group of older friends in this evocative story of camaraderie and its challenges (The Washington Post Book World). Miranda Meadowe decides a lonely widowhood in her crumbling country house is not for her. Reviving a university dream, she invites five of her oldest friends to come live with her, and to stave off the prospect of old age. All have their own reasons for accepting. To begin with, the omens are good. They laugh, dance, drink, and behave badly as they cling to the legacy they thought was theirs forever: power, health, stability. They are the baby boomers; the world is theirs to change. But as old attractions resurface alongside new tensions, they discover the clock can’t be put back. When building work reveals an Iron Age burial site of a tribal queen, the outside world descends on their idyllic retreat, and the isolation of the group is breached. The past is revealed—and the future that beckons is very different from the one they imagined. “A truly heart-warming story of the value of friendship and the beauty of life. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.” —The Bookbag “A wonderful story that explores relationships, history and change.” —She magazine “An evocatively told story of friendship, families and relationships, sharpened by the arrival of the outside world into their idyllic country retreat.” —Choice

Liguria

By: Rosie Whitehouse

This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt’s award-winning guide to Liguria is the essential companion to getting the most out of a visit to this beguiling Italian region. Author Rosie Whitehouse has spent over thirty years exploring Liguria. In her wide-ranging guide, she introduces you to not just the glitz of the Riviera but also to the charm of the little-known, wild hinterland and mountain valleys, including in-depth coverage of local gastronomic delights – a key element of any Ligurian visit. Liguria is a rugged region of dizzy passes and breathtaking views, where mountains plunge into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The coastal strip includes the world-famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the resort of Portofino, the charming Cinque Terre, and more Blue Flag beaches than any other Italian region. In the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists – perfect for adventurous travellers who want a taste of the real Italy. This fourth edition covers new, high-class hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants that reflect Liguria’s rising status as a luxury destination – but, blessedly, one that doesn’t always come with an expensive price tag. Also new in this edition is information on the new marina Ventimiglia (which coincides with the growth in superyachts locally), wildlife (including whale- and dolphin-spotting, and the return of wolves), travel infrastructure (including new Nightjet trains to Munich and Vienna plus a high-speed train to Naples, and up-to-date advice on car parking, which can be tricky in parts of Liguria) and Genoa’s new Museum of Emigration. With its mild climate, Liguria is a fabulous year-round destination with a strong regional identity of its own. Whether you’re a gourmet traveller in search of pesto, trofie and freshly baked focaccia, a history buff on the hunt for Roman remains, a culture addict dazzled by Genoa’s glittering palazzi and top-class museums, a hiker seeking a mountain escape, or a family heading for a well-earned beach-based break, Bradt’s Liguria is the ideal guide for travellers of all ages and all budgets.

Other People's Marriages

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

Five married couples are about to have their lives upended in this “hugely enjoyable” novel by the bestselling author of Daughter of the House (The Times, London). Rosie Thomas, “a master storyteller” has been enrapturing readers, earning awards, and garnering critical praise for more than three decades (Cosmopolitan). In Other People’s Marriages, she offers a breathtaking look at marriage and relationships, with “the five families”—the pleasantly hospitable Frosts, the brash and sexy Cleggs, flirtatious Jimmy Rose and aloof Star, maternal Vicky and reliable Gordon Ransome, Michael Wickham and his perfect wife, Marcelle. Old friends, their lives are interwoven in a comfortable pattern of school runs and Sunday golf, barbecues, and shared holidays. Until Nina Cort returns to the cathedral city of her childhood. Rich sophisticated and newly widowed, Nina is an exotic thread in the pattern, whose intrusion reveals a web of hidden flaws. In the course of a year from which none will emerge unscathed, the five families and Nina discover that you can never truly know the fabric of other people’s marriages. Perhaps not even of your own . . . “Bestselling author Thomas traces an insightful and touching tale of love found and sustained in her latest novel of contemporary domestic mores . . . A book filled with major pleasures, the foremost of which is Thomas’s vivid and realistic depiction of men and women struggling to sustain romantic and erotic love amid the draining demands of family life.” —Publishers Weekly

The Sectarian Myth in Scotland

Of Bitter Memory and Bigotry

By: M. Rosie

The question of sectarianism in Scotland belongs within a wider framework than it has hitherto been placed. It offers insights into continuing, indeed pressing, debates about religious identity and civil and political society in the modern world. This book questions the view that religion and politics do not, and cannot, mix in pluralistic, tolerant and increasingly secular societies, and reveals that memories - bitter memories - can outlive, and obscure, the demise of actual conflict.

Coach

The Pat Burns Story

By: Rosie DiManno

Pat Burns was one of the great NHL coaches. He worked with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils, and seemed always to enjoy instant success. He capped his extraordinary career by coaching the New Jersey Devils to a Stanley Cup victory in 2003. Cancer--his third bout--finally claimed him in 2010, aged 58. Rosie DiManno, who knew Burns well, has written a revealing, exhilarating and heartfelt account of his life: his childhood as a fatherless, solitary male surrounded by many women, his years as a police officer, his glorious coaching career and his long and characteristically valiant ending. Coach is both the first major biography of Burns and one that, with its revelations, personal insights and riveting prose, is--like the man himself--sure to be both controversial and hard to beat. Rosie DiManno knew, liked and admired Burns, and in the writing of this book has interviewed many, many people from every stage of his life. She is not blind to his less endearing qualities, but seeks to explain them. DiManno reveals a man of contradictions--gruff and crude, bullying and sentimental, and easily wounded. She shows, moreover, a man of hockey. The Burns who rode motorcycles, dressed like a cowboy, and sweet-talked the ladies was, says DiManno, a self-creation. His one indisputable, true talent was for coaching hockey. He was a pure coach. DiManno tells a compelling story and helps us to understand a complex man, one who gave little of himself to the public and yet whose funeral was a spectacle. How did that happen? Who was Pat Burns? Rosie DiManno, who witnessed much of the story, has the answers.

Fighter Aces

Knights of the Skies

By: John Sadler,Rosie Serdiville

A readable and entertaining introduction to aerial combat in the series that “would be excellent for someone with an early interest in military history” (Army Rumour Service). Just over a decade after the first successful powered flight, fearless pioneers were flying over the battlefields of France in flimsy biplanes. Though the infantry in their muddy trenches might see aerial combat as glorious and chivalric, the reality was very different and undeniably deadly: new Royal Flying Corps subalterns in 1917 had a life expectancy of eleven days. In 1915 the term “ace” was coined to denote a pilot adept at downing enemy aircraft, and top aces like the Red Baron, René Fonck, and Billy Bishop became household names. The idea of the ace continued after the 1918 Armistice, but as the size of air forces increased, the prominence of the ace diminished. But still, the pilots who swirled and danced in Hurricanes and Spitfires over southern England in 1940 were, and remain, feted as “the Few” who stood between Britain and invasion. Flying aircraft advanced beyond the wildest dreams of Great War pilots, the “top” fighter aces of World War II would accrue hundreds of kills, though their life expectancy was still measured in weeks, not years. World War II cemented the vital role of air power, and postwar innovation gave fighter pilots jet-powered fighters, enabling them to pursue duels over huge areas above modern battlefields. This entertaining introduction explores the history and cult of the fighter ace from the first pilots through late twentieth-century conflicts, which leads to discussion of whether the era of the fighter ace is at an end.

Twins Tanwen and Donna Evans are as different as chalk and cheese. Tanwen is pretty, pert, a bubbly extrovert but very selfish and as slim and sharp as a needle. Donna is plain, placid and shy, although very warm-hearted and as sturdy and useful as a pin. In 1924, when the girls are fourteen, their mother Gwyneth insists both become apprentices at The Cardiff Drapers, where she once worked. Her dressmaking pays little and the girls' wages will help bring more money in. Tanwen is in great demand when she becomes the store model, but much to both girls' dismay, Gwyneth insists Donna goes along with her sister when she has a date. Donna ends up playing gooseberry or in the company of a boy she doesn't like - until she meets tall, handsome Dylan Wallis and falls in love. But Tanwen sets her heart on Dylan with disastrous consequences for them all...

Research Methods for Early Childhood Education

By: Rosie Flewitt,Lynn Ang

Research Methods for Early Childhood Education takes an international perspective on research design, and illustrates how research methods are inextricably linked to cultural and theoretical understandings of early childhood, young children's competences and the purposes of education. The book offers a critical and reflective approach to established and innovative research methods in early childhood education, making links between diverse methodologies, methods and theory, with illustrative examples of research in practice. Each chapter addresses a specific methodological approach, linking the methodology to early childhood education with vignettes as examples of research practice in the global north, south, east and west, offering practical examples and critical thinking around new theoretical understandings of early childhood across geographical and cultural contexts. The book critically examines: - the role of the researcher - conceptualisations of how research is undertaken; - the often sensitive nature of conducting research with young children; - how early childhood education is understood; - how young children can be included as active research participants. Throughout, the book emphasises ethical and methodological issues that arise from undertaking research in mono-cultural and cross-cultural contexts. Annotated further reading lists provide a selection of seminal and recent studies that have adopted each methodological approach.

Whatever Love Is

By: Rosie Rushton

What would happen if Jane Austen's MANSFIELD PARK was set in the twenty-first century? When Frankie Price goes to live with her wealthy cousins, she finds herself part of a social scene that she'd only read about in magazines. Shy and overwhelmed, she retreats into her own passion: writing - pouring out her feelings into her short stories. But when the entire family is rocked by scandal, and her mate Ned comes under the spell of the beautiful but manipulative Alice, Frankie realises that she has to fight for the life she wants.

Do Your Worst

By: Rosie Danan

USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Sparks fly when an occult expert and a disgraced archeologist become enemies-with-benefits in this steamy romance from "go-to author" Rosie Danan (The New York Times Book Review). Riley Rhodes finally has the chance to turn her family’s knack for the supernatural into a legitimate business when she’s hired to break the curse on an infamous Scottish castle. Used to working alone in her alienating occupation, she's pleasantly surprised to meet a handsome stranger upon arrival—until he tries to get her fired. Fresh off a professional scandal, Clark Edgeware can’t allow a self-proclaimed “curse breaker” to threaten his last chance for redemption. After he fails to get Riley kicked off his survey site, he vows to avoid her. Unfortunately for him, she vows to get even. Riley expects the curse to do her dirty work by driving Clark away, but instead, they keep finding themselves in close proximity. Too close. Turns out, the only thing they do better than fight is fool around. If they’re not careful, by the end of all this, more than the castle will end up in ruins.
