paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 2nd Reprint. Paperback. Slight browning to spine. Couple of small creases to corner cover. Peter Kellner, political editor of the New Statesman, and Lord Crowther-Hunt, a member of the Fulton Committee of Inquiry into the Civil Service, have written a challenging and wide-ranging book which gives the… first full modern account of how Whitehall works. Britian's top civil servants, they argue, are the real ruling class. Their power is substantial, and invariably deployed with skill and subtlety. And like ruling classes in the past, the Civil Service has constructed an elaborate system of defences to protect that power from erosion. In a modern asociety the bureaucracy inevitably wields considerable poer. The important issues raised here by the authors concer what sort of people wield this power, how they wield it, and whether they are subject to sufficient democratic control. The authors' conclusions on these issues provide a disturbing insight into the hidden machinery of government controlled by britain's new ruling class. 352 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
