<p>The coclass project (1980-1994) provided a new and powerful way to classify finite p-groups. This monograph gives a coherent account of the thinking out of which developed the philosophy that lead to this classification. The authors provide a careful summary and explanation of the many and difficult original research papers on the coclass conjecture and the structure theorem, thus elucidating the background research for those new to the area as well as for experienced researchers. The classification philosophy has lead to many new and challenging problems. Amongst those considered are problems about pro-p-groups, the Grigorchuk group, the Nottingham group as well as linear pro-p-groups. Throughout the book the authors have used a wide range of algebraic techniques and have developed from first principles, or from basic and well known results, the cohomology of groups, spectral sequences, and representation theory. This comprehensive and long-awaited survey of the recent and current research on the structure of finite p-groups will be an important reference for all group theorists.<br></p>

A comprehensive socio-legal evaluation of the 2000 statutory recognition procedure over ten years of its operation, in the context of UK labour law, changing work relationships, the dissipation of collective bargaining and union membership decline. The authors of this volume consider how far it has provided a template for the incursion of the law into industrial relations, with voluntarism no longer a dominant model in UK industrial relations, and how far it has encouraged a more limited form of joint regulation. They also reflect on how the procedure has shaped union strategies and on whether it creates the conditions for worker mobilisation. The central trend has been the decline in applications and whilst the design and operation of the procedure may discourage unions from submitting claims and permit employers to undermine the process, its impact is also influenced by union capacity to generate cases, something defined by wider economic, social and political relationships.

A comprehensive socio-legal evaluation of the 2000 statutory recognition procedure over ten years of its operation. Whilst exploring its implications for the so-called UK 'voluntarist' approach to regulating industrial relations, the authors argue that the effectiveness of the procedure was constrained by its design.
