Dictionary of British Politics
My friend Bill Jones has just published another title in the series he edits on UK politics today. His Dictionary of British Politics is a reference book which offers potted biographies of prominent members of parliament (including bits of gossip); explanations and definitions of key terms, offices of state, and political events; and explanations of some of the arcane parliamentary rules. Woven in as a sort of sub-text are sketches of the other institutions such as pressure groups and media companies who have an influence on political life in the UK today. For those interested, he's also just started a blog on the same subject at SKIPPER.

Just to say that I think this is a book which it should be illegal not to have in every house, subject to a week in the slammer.

How do you know I'm not that same person? This is a dangerous author. Oh Yes.
