Poverty and inequality have gained a new public presence in the United Kingdom. At a time of social cuts, new austerity measures and a rhetoric about 'broken Britain', poverty is present in the public imagination, and it is visible in the streets of British cities. Literature can (re-)configure how people think, feel and behave in relation to poverty. This study investigates life-writing, fiction and non-fiction with a poverty theme, produced in Britain from the mid-1990s to the present and contributes to the new transdisciplinary field of poverty studies.

Poverty and inequality have gained a new public presence in the United Kingdom. Literature, and particularly narrative literature, (re-)configures how people think, feel and behave in relation to poverty. This makes the analysis of poverty-themed fiction an important aspect in the new transdisciplinary field of poverty studies.

<p>This comprehensive textbook on combinatorial optimization puts special emphasis on theoretical results and algorithms with provably good per formance, in contrast to heuristics. It has arisen as the basis of sev eral courses on combinatorial optimization and more special topics at graduate level. Since the complete book contains enough material for a t least four semesters (4 hours a week), one usually selects material in a suitable way. The book contains complete (but concise) proofs, al so for many deep results, some of which did not appear in a book befor e. Many very recent topics are covered as well, and many references ar e provided. Thus this book represents the state-of-the-art of combinat orial optimization.</p>
