ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Finally a word of thanks to students on various politics and public
sector management and public relations courses at Plymouth, Exeter
and Bournemouth universities, and with the Workers’ Educational
Association (WEA), for their comments and suggestions on this
material.
In addition to the help from colleagues and friends acknowledged
in earlier editions, this latest edition has also benefited from useful
comments and suggestions from a number of readers, and the work of
our editor at Routledge, Craig Fowlie and production editor Abigail
Humphries has been much appreciated. The blame for infelicities and
errors remains, of course, with us.
