The book not only celebrates a publishing landmark in the history of the journal but also reflects the incredible richness of Canada's contemporary literary scene. The collection features the work of outstanding new writers as well as poems and essays written especially for this issue by Canada's most famous poets, novelists, dramatists, and essayists. Among the 29 essayists are Matt Cohen, Timothy Findley, Naim Kattan, Irving Layton, Dorothy Livesay, Eli Mandel, Jane Rule, Aritha Van Herk, and George Woodcock. The writings exhibit a diversity of styles and themes: Margaret Laurence on war and peace, Eric Nicol on commercial writing, Marian Engel on starting a new novel, James Reaney on regionalism, David Watmough on places, and David Helwig on arguing with God. The poets comprise a virtual "Who's Who" in Canadian poetry today: Margaret Atwood, Bill Bissett, Barry Dempster, Joy Kogawa, Dennis Lee, George McWhirter, Susan Musgrave, Michael Ondaatje, Al Purdy, Robin Skelton, Raymond Souster, and Tom Wayman are among over 60 of the poets represented.

While there has been plenty of rhetoric and policy initiatives around devolution of power to local authorities in recent decades, continuing recently with the English Devolution Bill, there has been far less attention paid to how these endeavours will be practically delivered and, most importantly, funded. In this context, the motivation in this book is to consider how local government in England could be funded differently. How can the continual hand to mouth existence of local authorities, and those that work to support them, be improved? Drawing on a system-based analysis of international local government practice, the authors develop a new theory of embedded autonomy to help understand and frame how local government can be funded effectively in England. Kevin Muldoon-Smith is an Associate Professor in Strategic Public Sector Finance and Urban Adaptation at Northumbria University, UK. He is an established author and policy advisor investigating local government finance systems, regularly via international comparison and intersecting issues of governance, taxation, land, and property markets. Mark Sandford is an Honorary Professor at the University of Bristol where he specialises in local government, devolution, local government finance and territorial identity. He has also been a research fellow at the Constitution Unit, University College London, and head of research at the Electoral Commission. Greg Stride is a Researcher at the Local Democracy Research Centre at the Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) where he has led projects on local government finance and electoral administration. Before joining the LGIU, Greg completed a PhD at the University of Exeter on electoral administration in England. Andrew Walker is the Head of Research at the Local Democracy Research Centre at the Local Government Information Unit (LGIU). Andrew leads LGIU's research programme and directs the activity of the Local Democracy Research Centre. .Political sciencePolitical planningFinance, PublicHuman geographyGovernance and GovernmentPublic PolicyPublic FinanceHuman GeographyPolitical science.Political planning.Finance, Public.Human geography.Governance and Government.Public Policy.Public Finance.Human Geography.336.01442Muldoon-Smith Kevin1779153Sandford Mark1779154Stride Greg1779155Walker Andrew75412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910917196403321Embedded Autonomy4302407UNINA
