A Critical Difference is a valuable study of perhaps the most intriguing and important critical debate of the 1920s. The book offers a detailed introduction to the unjustly neglected criticism of Murry and sheds new light on T. S. Eliot's role as a polemicist and controversialist in the conflicts of literary-critical culture in the 1920s.

Focusing on forests and trees, this book investigates how relations between society and nature change over time. It traces historical perceptions and woodland management practices, explores the rise of scientific forestry methods, discusses in depth the organizational culture of the Forestry Commission, and considers the claim that present-day forestry has become a postmodern phenomenon.

This book offers the first systematic treatment of the idea of a critical theory of world society. Malte Frøslee Ibsen develops a reconstruction of the Frankfurt School tradition as four paradigms of critical theory, in original interpretations of the work of notable theorists.

In this book, Dow and Saville expound a theory of monetary policy, and examine how it has worked in the UK. Writing from personal experience of working in a central bank, they analyse the behaviour of the banking system and the difficulties of central bank control. In a clearly written account they explain the changes that are taking place in monetary policy, and challenge some of the accepted wisdoms of our time.

First published in 1950, A Critique of Welfare Economics was enormously influential. It was concerned with the exposition, criticism, and appreciation of the theory of economic welfare as it had been developed to that date. Now reissued to coincide with the publication of Professor Little's new volume, Ethics, Economics, and Politics. The Critique benefits from a new preface in which the author assesses the contribution that it made in the light of subsequent literature in the area.

A Cultural Psychology of Music Education explores the ways in which the discipline of cultural psychology can contribute to our understanding of how music learning and development occurs in a range of cultural settings, and the subsequent implications of such understanding for the theory and practice of music education.
