'For you, voting Conservative would be just like adultery and you won't know what a pleasure that is until you've tried it!' Lucy tires of her husband, Barry, and his serial infidelities. She begins an affair with their mutual friend Tom, who responds willingly. Complicities, deceits and manipulations inevitably follow in a reflective story set amongst the chattering classes of South London during the months leading up to the General Election of 2005.

As improved texts and translations of Philodemus' writings have become available since the 1970s, scholars have taken a keen interest in his relations...

In this fully updated and revised edition, the authors explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context.

Set in south London, Making It Rain is a satirical dissection of office life and politics.
We’ve all been there – workplaces made dysfunctional by inflated egos and competing ambitions – not to mention petty jealousies, imprudent liaisons, bullying and harassment. We may have variously enjoyed, ridiculed, challenged, lamented or simply endured the resulting disruption. Now, Making It Rain lifts the lid on some of our more squalid transgressions and spills the all-too-familiar beans with frankness and wit.
