Cameron on Cameron: Conversations with Dylan Jones

Just who does David Cameron think he is? In an engaging series of landmark interviews—that will define the would-be prime minister ahead of the next election—Dylan Jones finds out. David Cameron is asking the British people for the keys to Number Ten—but is he a smartly-dressed smoothie with all the right lines, or a gifted politician who instinctively understands the country's priorities? A throwback to the age when privilege brought power, or a dynamic alternative to a Labor party that has run out of ideas? This series of wide-ranging and candid interviews will define David Cameron ahead of the next election—and for years to come. A book about a politician for people who don't buy books about politicians, this book will for many settle the question of whether David Cameron has got what it takes to lead the country.

‘The political memoir of the decade’ Sunday Times\nThe #1 Sunday Times Bestseller 
What was it like to lead the Conservative Party back to power and form a coalition government? How does a Prime Minister turn around an economy, handle a migration crisis and respond to a rapidly changing Europe? Why call a referendum on Britain’s EU membership? 
David Cameron answers these questions and more with a candour that extends beyond the events he faced to the people he encountered and, fascinatingly, to the things he got right and wrong. 
He talks too about what has happened in the four years since that momentous vote in what is the frankest insight yet into the inner workings of politics and the mind of one man who was at the heart of it.

For the Record: THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND ‘THE POLITICAL MEMOIR OF THE DECADE’

William Collins

David Cameron was elected Conservative leader in 2005, promising to modernize the party following its three successive electoral defeats. He became Prime Minister in 2010, forming Britain’s first coalition government in 70 years, at a moment of economic crisis, and went on to win the first outright Conservative majority for 23 years at the 2015 general election.
In For the Record, he will explain how the governments he led transformed the UK economy while implementing a modern, compassionate agenda that included reforming education and welfare, legalizing gay marriage, honoring the UK’s commitment to overseas aid and spearheading environmental policies. He will shed light on the seminal world events of his premiership—the Arab Spring; the rise of ISIS; the invasion of Ukraine; the conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria—as well as events at home, from the Olympic Games in 2012 to the Scottish referendum. He will provide, for the first time, his perspective on the EU referendum and his views on the future of Britain’s place in the world following Brexit.
Revealing the battles and achievements of his life and career in intimate and frank detail, For the Record will be an important assessment of the significant political events of the last decade, the nature of power and the role of leadership at a time of profound global change.

Most Australian have heard of Lone Pine. Too few know why. Over four days in August 1915, Australians and Turks were thrown into some of the fiercest fighting of the war, on a small plateau in Gallipoli known as Lone Pine. Thousands of lives were lost. Seven of Australia's nine Gallipoli VCs were earned during brutal hand-to-hand combat in dark tunnels and in trenches just meters apart, bombarded by terrifying volleys of grenades. The Battle for Lone Pine is the first book devoted to this cornerstone of the Anzac legend, drawing on unforgettable first-hand accounts scratched into diaries and letters home. The stories of the diggers, as well as the engineers, nurses, sappers, commanders, and more, provide an invaluable record of the battle and serve as moving testimony to their courage in appalling conditions. Today, pine trees are planted in remembrance around Australia. In Gallipoli, the Lone Pine Cemetery and Memorial attracts large crowds to commemorate Anzac Day. David W. Cameron's absorbing history reveals the fate of those who fought on the ground where they gather.

All modern democratic states have fashioned policies and programs in response to the needs of persons with disabilities. These vary from nation to nation and in Disability and Federalism the authors examine the impact of the federal regimes of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States on disability policy and programs and evaluate whether disablement - including its international, organizational, political, and attitudinal dimensions - has affected the operation of federalism in the five countries studied. The conclusion that emerges is that neither federalism nor the specific type of federal regime makes much difference to the philosophy of government, the values that underlie policy-making, or the general policy orientation to disabled people at any given historical moment. Individual federal realities, however, are at the heart of the formation of disability policy and the striking variations in program design and delivery that occur between states. Contributors include David Cameron, Linda Hancock (Deakin University, Australia), Ursula Muench (Universität der Bunderswehr Muenchen), Stephen L.Percy (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Johanne Poirier (Université Libre de Bruxelles and University of Cambridge), Sherri Torjman (Caledon Institute of Social Policy, Ottawa), and Fraser Valentine.

Since the first edition was published in 2008, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has emerged as a powerful, and sometimes preferred, deposition technology. The new edition of this groundbreaking monograph is the first text to review the subject of ALD comprehensively from a practical perspective. It covers ALD's application to microelectronics (MEMS) and nanotechnology; many important new and emerging applications; thermal processes for ALD growth of nanometer thick films of semiconductors, oxides, metals and nitrides; and the formation of organic and hybrid materials.
