Matthew Elliott - Böcker

A special release for Big Finish's Doctor Who range, containing four single-episode stories! YOU ARE THE DOCTOR (by John Dorney). YOU are the Doctor, a mysterious traveller in time and space. Will YOU succeed in foiling the ghastly plans of the horrible Porcians, the most inept invaders in all the cosmos? Or will you get yourself killed, over and over again? COME DIE WITH ME (by Jamie Anderson). A spooky old house. A body in the library. A killer on the loose. The Doctor accepts the challenge laid down by the sinister Mr Norris: to solve a murder mystery that's defeated 1,868 of the greatest intellects in the universe...and counting. THE GRAND BETELGEUSE HOTEL (by Christopher Cooper). The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Ace to the most opulent casino hotel in the cosmos - a haunt of the rich, the famous and the unutterably corrupt. There's a robbery in progress - but is the Doctor really in on the plan? DEAD TO THE WORLD (by Matthew J Elliott). Tourist spaceship the Daedalus hangs suspended in space, all but three of its passengers having fallen victim to a bizarre infection. But if the Doctor saves those last survivors, he risks destroying the entire human race.Sylvester McCoy originally played the Doctor in 1987 - 1989, (then again in 1996) while his other work includes Radagast the Brown in Peter Jackson's epic The Hobbit films. Sophie Aldred's Ace companion is often viewed as Doctor Who's first contemporary young friend for the Doctor, setting out the template followed in later years by Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman). Jon Culshaw is not only a famous face from British television, but an even more famous voice: one of Britain's best impressionists on shows including Dead Ringers, The Impressionable Jon Culshaw and Horrible Histories. Writer Jamie Anderson is the son of Thunderbirds-creator Gerry. Jamie has not only produced a new series of Terrahawks audio adventures for Big Finish, but is working on a new Firestorm action adventure series coming soon to screens near you!

ProsperityThrough Growth is aprimer for reviving the UK economy, co-authored by some of our finest economicminds: celebrated US economist Dr Arthur B. Laffer, inventor of the Laffercurve; policy campaigner Matthew Elliott; businessman Michael Hintze; andfounder of the Centre for Economics and Business Research Douglas McWilliams.Itbegins by setting out the principles of ideal economic policy - the 'NorthStar' of prosperity through growth - and applies them to the UK's currentposition. The thinking takes account of the age of autocracy and AI, in whichpolitical decisions in democracies are constrained and talented andentrepreneurial people are increasingly mobile, making economic incentives evenmore important.Thefinal section draws on interviews with more than thirty economicdecision-makers from the worlds of business, politics and the civil service,including five Prime Ministers and nine Chancellors. The interviews giveinsights into the economic and political causes of low growth and provide astrategy for implementing a pro-growth agenda.Speciallycommissioned research shows how the UK is forecast to slide down the league tableof GDP per capita over the next twenty-five years. The book argues that such aslide is not inevitable and outlines a fully costed and modelled '24/7 GrowthPlan' to show how the decline can be averted.

The 2016 Brexit referendum caused a political earthquake,with aftershocks that are still being felt a decade after the vote. For many,including many who voted to leave, the result came as a shock. But for one manit was not; it was what he had been working to achieve for twenty years. You may not have heard of Matthew Elliott, but you shouldhave. Born and brought up in Leeds, he is one of Britain’s most successfulpolitical campaigners – a reserved and thoughtful strategist who in histwenties launched a movement to force national and local government to confrontwasteful public spending and cut taxes. In 2014, he staved off an attempt tochange our voting system, before steering the Vote Leave campaign to victorytwo years later as its chief executive. In an extraordinary memoir of his time in politics,Matthew reveals what it’s like working side-by-side with Boris Johnson andDominic Cummings, their dealings with Nigel Farage and the tricks of the tradethat campaigners use to shape the news. Here, ten years on from the EU referendum, is thedefinitive story of Brexit: the build-up from the 1990s, what really went onduring the campaign, its bitter aftermath, how the early post-Brexitopportunities were squandered and the moves now to take Britain back into theEU by stealth.

Everything we do, say and think is, in some sense, emotional. We describe ourselves and our experiences in terms of how we feel.In the New Testament, Jesus and Paul displayed a wide range of emotions in their lives and teaching. Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and others have recognized the vital importance of emotion in Christian experience. However, in recent times, many preachers and theologians have pushed emotion to the sidelines. The relationship between reason and emotion can be confused or obscure in much of our thinking. We need to look afresh at the causes, nature and role of felt experience in Christian living.In this significant new study, Matthew Elliott asks 'What is an emotion?', and applies recent studies of emotion to the New Testament. While he discusses the vocabulary of emotion - love, joy, hope, jealousy, fear, sorrow, anger - his primary concern is with emotion itself, how it was perceived by the New Testament writers in their cultural context, and what role they thought it should play in the lives of Christian believers. He argues that our feelings play an essential role in Christian faith, theology and ethics.
