        Investigating British television police series

        by Ben Lamb

        You're nicked is the first comprehensive study of television police series in the UK. It reveals how British television's most popular genre has developed stylistically, politically and philosophically from 1955 to the present. Each chapter focuses on a particular decade, investigating how the most-watched series represent the inner workings of the police station, the civilian life of criminals and the private lives of police officers. This new approach unearths the complex ideology underpinning each series and discerns the key insights the genre can provide into the breakdown of the post-war settlement. Offering insightful readings of police series from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley via The Sweeney, The Bill and Cracker, the book is a must-read for crime-drama enthusiasts worldwide. This new paperback edition features an extensive epilogue on Line of Duty and other Jed Mercurio creations.

        Milli and the Sugar Dragons

        by Deborah Spence, Nina Habermann, Nils Kiefer

        Milli and her friend Lotte are looking forward to a school trip to Hohenstein Castle. As Lotte has not been in Milli’s class for long, she does not yet know that Milli has diabetes. Milli explains her condition to her with sugar dragons and insulin knights. But neither of Milli’s parents has time to come on the trip with them and they don’t believe Milli can do it alone. Lotte and Milli think about how they can convince her parents, but all their attempts fail. Then Milli has the idea of inviting her godmother, who agrees to travel with them. This means that the trip is saved and Milli begins the eagerly anticipated adventure. Milli learns that she can do anything, but even knights need help sometimes. Diabetes is not only a physical impairment; it also has an effect on the everyday life and situation of the affected child. Milli’s story illustrates the problems faced by a child with diabetes and how to find a positive way to cope with the condition. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12 years) who sufferfrom diabetes mellitus• parents and relatives• therapists

        The elephant and the dragon in contemporary life sciences

        A call for decolonising global governance

        by Joy Y. Zhang, Saheli Datta Burton

        This book provides a powerful diagnosis of why the global governance of science struggles in the face of emerging powers. Through unpacking critical events in China and India over the past twenty years, it demonstrates that the 'subversiveness' assumed in the two countries' rise in the life sciences reflects many of the regulatory challenges that are shared worldwide. It points to a decolonial imperative for science governance to be responsive and effective in a cosmopolitan world. By highlighting epistemic injustice within contemporary science, the book extends theories of decolonisation.
