The county of Worcestershire in the West Midlands is characterised by its beautiful cathedral city of Worcester, attractive market towns and villages and its industrial heritage, particularly in the north-east of the county. The Malvern Hills, Clent Hills and the Cotswolds stand out from the rural and man-made landscape, including the traditional orchards in the Vale of Evesham, particularly around Pershore, and the county is also shaped by the River Severn and River Avon.Photographer Steven Hamilton has captured Worcestershire's essence in this collection of stunning images, displaying the county at its best. For those who are proud to live in the county, as well as those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this corner of England has such enduring appeal.

Grave failings meant we escaped the pandemic many months after we should have and were plunged into unnecessary lockdowns. Failings that led to loss of life and economic and human damage.In Australia' s Pandemic Exceptionalism, internationally acclaimed economists Steven Hamilton and Richard Holden explore the public health and economic responses to the pandemic. By analysing the many successes - and startling failures - of Australia' s pandemic response Australia' s Pandemic Exceptionalism provides crucial lessons for future crises.
