"Det finns böcker man vill läsa om för att de är lika roliga och underhållande som lärorika och tankeväckande. Detta är en sådan, inte bara för konstvänner utan alla som någon gång har ägt en tavla eller uppskattar en god historia." Sundsvalls Tidning "Förutom spännande beskrivningar av olika kriminalfall visar Lloyd prov på goda konsthistoriska kunskaper som han delar med sig av ... 'Förfalskad konst' är en av de där böckerna som är både roande och folkbildande på samma gång." OpulensFalska målningar av folkkära svenska konstnärer som Albin Amelin, Bengt Lindström och Madeleine Pyk dyker ständigt upp för försäljning. Även verk av internationella stjärnor som Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso och Jean-Michel Basquiat kopieras ofta. Plagiatkonstmarknaden omsätter mångmiljonbelopp årligen. Men hur avslöjas egentligen bedragarna och hur går polisens utredningar till? Vad händer med tavlorna sedan? Följ med polisen Peter Lloyd, som har många års erfarenhet av att utreda konstförfalskningar, och ta del av metoderna för att avslöja bedragarnas trick. Lär känna mästerförfalskarna Han van Meegeren, som lurade Herman Göring, Elmyr de Hory, som blev sur när man började plagiera hans förfalskningar och Mark Landis, som skänkte bort sin förfalskade konst till museer. Här finns också tips och råd för den som vill lära sig hur man identifierar ett förfalskat verk och vad man ska se upp med vid konstköp. Boken är rikt illustrerad med äkta falsk konst. Konstnären Ernst Billgren, som själv blivit utsatt för plagieringsförsök, har skrivit ett förord till boken. PETER LLOYD är Sveriges enda polis som utreder konstbedrägerier på heltid. LEONE MILTON har tidigare skrivit en rad böcker, bland andra Till mina torskar tillsammans med Hanna Widerstedt.

The book highlights the lack of a clear division between the role of the state and the role of the individual in our modern democracy, and argues that it is necessary to have such a division in order to limit state power. It describes the erosion of liberties and the alteration of rights and tries to explain the reasons for such unprecedented changes The book offers a two pronged solution designed to force governments to acknowledge the rights of citizens and to create a division between the realm and responsibility of the State and that of individual citizens by adopting a "Charter of Principles" and a written constitution.

Open Learning Units offer a very flexible approach to the teaching of psychology. They are designed to be more than sufficient for the purposes of A/S and A-Level psychology, and the applied emphasis will appeal to various vocational courses such as those offered by BTEC and also to mature students on Access courses. Their primary use will be in the classroom with a tutor's guidance, but the interactive style makes them equally appropriate for the purposes of self-study. More advanced students might want to use the Units to learn at their own pace, and in all cases, the careful structure of the writing and the extensive use of Examples, Open Questions and Self-Assessment Questions make them ideal revision guides.

The pueblos jóvenes or 'young towns' of Lima, capital of Peru, are one of the most spectacular phenomena of Latin American urbanization. They were originally formed when poor migrants from the sierra invaded vacant land within the city, initially erecting matting shelters; but latterly governments encouraged the upgrading of these settlements, through the self-help of their residents, and in consequence many older pueblos jóvenes developed into poor working-class suburbs with solidly built houses. In this book, which was originally published in 1980 as part of the Urbanization in Developing Countries series, Professor Lloyd outlines the processes that led to the formation of the pueblos jóvenes. First, the author shows that the settlement is a strongly cohesive community; and second that the term 'marginal', which is applied to both the settlement and its people, is in many senses inappropriate. He also critically examines government policies between the middle class and the poor.
