An examination of the modernization of the English and Welsh police during the interwar years, focusing upon the increasing professionalization of the police, the Federation, forensic work and the growth of traffic policing. The authors challenge the established viewpoint by arguing that this period saw significant changes in policing.

The book looks at the development of policing in a town noted for its high levels of crime. Through a detailed study of policing and police work over the period c. 1840-1914 it shows how the turbulent community of the early Victorian years was turned into a policed society by the end of the century.

During the course of the developnent of most areas of scien- tific research certain events occur that serve to bring a particular area into focus. We feel that this symposilHll volume serves that role with regard to the study of the reproductive biology of amphib- ians. The collection of vnrks contained in this volume provides an excellent review of a diversity of past contributions to this field of investigation and brings together in one volume the major ap- proaches that have been utilized to study amphibian reproductive biology. The work emphasizes recently-completed studies and therefore can be considered to be an up-to-date account of the field. Equally signif icant, however, the contributors to this volume have excelled in pointing out directions for future research that will be of im- mense value in integrating the component parts of reproductive bi- ology, i.e., genetics, developnental biology, physiology, behavior, and ecology, into an eVOlutionary framework.

This book contains over 30 action-oriented case studies from leading companies operating in Europe, Asia, USA, Australia and Africa including Brother International, Nike Europe, Fiat Auto Spa, Pepsi Cola International, Zimbabwe Dairy Marketing Board, Almarai Ltd., Eastman Kodak Singapore and The US Department of Environment. It meets the growing demand for cases in logistics and supply chain management that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Each case takes a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to business and will be highly relevant to students taking courses in logistics and supply chain management, distribution, purchasing and supplies management, marketing, manufacturing operations, business policy, international business and organisational behaviour.
