Clad in the black robe of his priestly order and armed only with a crucifix, for more than a quarter of a century Father De Smet relentlessly tramped the American frontier to bring peace and religion to the tribes of the Pacific Northwest and the upper Missouri River country.In this biography, Robert Carriker describes De Smet's love for the great American West and the native tribes who lived there, the Potawatomis, Flatheads, Coeur d'Alenes, Kalispels, Blackfeet, Yankton Sioux, and others to whom the Jesuit father carried Christianity. Soon the man called Black Robe became known throughout the mountains and plains as a man of peace and a friend of all Indians.

On November 13, 2011, Capricious Publishing celebrated the release of artist K8 Hardy’s latest book, Frank Peter John Dick. Hardy’s work riffs on pop culture and all the images we encounter as consumers. The art she exhibits are photographs and sculptures, but part of her process is gathering masses of images from disparate sources and obsessively collaging them together. In a sense, these collages are edits of photos torn from magazines, printed advertisements, and other visual imagery that Hardy finds compelling. Yet they also include her darkroom test strips and snapshots found at the junk store. These collages were never originally intended for exhibition or print, but merely research for the artist’s work. It was only after a few people saw them in her studio that she was encouraged to show them. For this reason, the collages are powerful and weighty; each is it’s own essay. Hardy has made visual examinations that deal with complicated ideas, issues of representation, phenomenon in style, and playful contemplations of fashion.

- What caused the increased turbulence of British Politics in recent - How do policy blunders occur and why? - Why did Brexit happen, and what is the future of the UK-EU relationship? - How powerful are political parties in British Politics? - How is British politics shaped by variation and differentiation, especially across the nations of the UK? British Politics answers these fundamental questions, putting political science and public policy at its core to provide an analytical approach to British politics. The book's three-part structure is designed to help students make sense of the British political system. Part A covers constitutional and institutional foundations: the formal set of politics, laws, procedures, and customs which make up the distinctive features of the political system. In Part B, political behaviour and citizenship is explored, looking at politics from the view of the everyday citizen by examining political parties and the media. Finally, part C looks at how power and authority is dispersed through agencies, devolved powers, and international bodies. Overall, this gives students a thorough and rigorous introduction to the nature of British democracy in the twenty-first century. British Politics has a unique, sophisticated style, bringing together case studies, cutting-edge analysis, and comparative insights to make it essential reading for all students of British Politics. Digital formats and resources British Politics is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources. · The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with hyperlinks to multiple-choice questions, to help you test your knowledge and understanding of British politics: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks · Student resources: Multiple choice questions, web links to media sources and datasets, and biannual online updates organised by chapter are available online. Lecturer resources: Adaptable PowerPoint slides for each chapter are available online.
Many tools are on offer to politicians and other policy-makers when they seek to change policy outcomes. Often they choose to concentrate on one set of tools, but fail to see the costs as well as the benefits – and may not consider the available evidence regarding their effectiveness. This innovative new textbook clearly sets out the main tools of government, and provides an analysis of their efficacy when applied to public problems. Each chapter examines the relative benefits and costs of using a key tool that is available to improve policy outcomes, drawing on a diverse literature, a large number of empirical studies and a range of contexts. Areas covered include: governments and policy outcomeslaw and regulation public spending and taxation bureaucracy and public management institutionsinformation, persuasion and deliberation networks and governance.Offering a clear and comprehensive evaluation, and highlighting the set of powerful tools commonly available, this text encourages students to consider the most effective combination in order to manage key issues successfully. Including a useful glossary of key terms, this book will be of great interest to all students of public policy, administration and management.

The fully revised and updated new edition of this textbook continues to provide the most accessible overview of the main approaches in the study of public policy. It seeks to review the most common and widely used frameworks in the study of policy analysis: institutionsgroups and networkssociety and the economyindividual interestsideas.The book explains each one, offers constructive criticisms and explores their claims in the light of a variety of American, British and European examples. Arguing that no one framework offers a comprehensive explanation of public policy; John suggests a synthesis based on different aspects of the approaches, introducing concepts/approaches of advocacy coalitions, punctuated equilibrium and evolution as more effective ways to understand public policy. Combining both a clear summary of debates in public policy and a new and original approach to the subject, this book remains essential reading for students of public policy and policy analysis.

`Its strength lies in combining theoretical insights with an impressive range of empirical material. The analysis is subtle and multi-layered.... This is a timely and important book' - Political Studies `Local governance have gained massive attention among scholars and practitioners during the past several years. Peter John's book fills a void in the literature by tracing the historical roots of local governance and by placing his findings in a comparative perspective' - Professor Jon Pierre, University of Gothenburg, Sweden `Peter John has produced a fascinating and stimulating book in which he assesses current developments in urban politics and local government in Europe and suggests how these changes are leading to different patterns of sub-national territorial politics in the EU today. What he has to say is of important interest to all students of local government; comparative politics and of territorial politics more generally' - Michael Goldsmith, University of Salford `this book offers a fascinating comparative analysis... themes such as New Public Management, globalisation, regionalism and privatisation will be relevant to numerous courses in government, politics, public administration and public policy' - West European Politics This text provides a comprehensive introduction to local government and urban politics in contemporary Western Europe. It is the first book to map and explain the change in local political systems and to place these in comparative context. The book introduces students to the traditional structures and institutions of local government and shows how these have been transformed in response to increased economic and political competition, new ideas, institutional reform and the Europeanization of public policy. At the book's core is the perceived transition from local government to local governance. The book traces this key development thematically across a wide range of West European states including: Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.

When recently divorced Muslim mother Zeenat books a five-day safari in South Africa's wilderness, she's seeking an escape from her carefully ordered life-not a whirlwind romance with her ruggedly handsome Afrikaner guide, Andries. But fate has other plans. Their cautious attraction explodes into desperate survival when a bull elephant in musth attacks their camp. As dawn breaks over the African bush, Zeenat must find courage she never knew she had: performing emergency medical procedures, handling a high-powered rifle, and facing down one of nature's most dangerous creatures. All while trying to ignore the growing realization that she's falling for a man who represents everything her traditional community warns against. Set against the raw beauty of the African wilderness, this cross-cultural love story challenges preconceptions about faith, family, and finding love in unexpected places. As Zeenat navigates between her religious convictions and her heart's desires, she discovers that sometimes the greatest journeys are the ones that lead us back to ourselves. Perfect for readers who loved "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" and "Out of Africa," this debut novel weaves together thrilling wildlife encounters, tender romance, and one woman's quest to define herself beyond the boundaries others have set for her.
Field experiments -- randomized controlled trials -- have become ever more popular in political science, as well as in other disciplines, such as economics, social policy and development. Policy-makers have also increasingly used randomization to evaluate public policies, designing trials of tax reminders, welfare policies and international aid programs to name just a few of the interventions tested in this way. Field experiments have become successful because they assess causal claims in ways that other methods of evaluation find hard to emulate.Social scientists and evaluators have rediscovered how to design and analyze field experiments, but they have paid much less attention to the challenges of organizing and managing them. Field experiments pose unique challenges and opportunities for the researcher and evaluator which come from working in the field. The research experience can be challenging and at times hard to predict. This book aims to help researchers and evaluators plan and manage their field experiments so they can avoid common pitfalls. It is also intended to open up discussion about the context and backdrop to trials so that these practical aspects of field experiments are better understood.The book sets out ten steps researchers can use to plan their field experiments, then nine threats to watch out for when they implement them. There are cases studies of voting and political participation, elites, welfare and employment, nudging citizens, and developing countries.
