For the last few Christmases I have sent friends and colleagues a skit on the year’s public events, to blow off steam and to keep in touch without the cost of a card or provoking scorn with a round robin full of smug boasts and banal domestic calamities.  Every year a few nice recipients say I should publish them.  So here they are.

Reviews of books – many I think significant and interesting, some wonderful, some rotten. Orginally published in journals including Town and Country Planning, EG, Ecos, Political Quarterly, some of them slightly edited. 

Some occasional pieces celebrating people, organisations, books and experiences.
