Governments face new challenges in an era marked by globalization, shifting economic and national security policies, pervasive electronic media, and policy reform. Steering from the Centre details how chief executives in ten Western democracies have responded to governance challenges in the wake of reform ideas such as the New Public Management which stress deregulation and decentralization. This volume analyzes the extent to which the centre of government can retain political and administrative control when delivery of public services is increasingly done through networks, contacts, partnerships, and a host of other devolved arrangements. International in scope, Steering from the Centre covers the experiences of diverse countries and examines how various centralization/decentralization strategies have played out in these differing national and institutional contexts.

A Practical Approach to Motor Vehicle Engineering explains the fundamental principles for each system found in the motor vehicle, including engines, brakes, electrical systems and transmission. This core information is then set in the relevant context of health and safety, customer relations and the testing and replacement of engines enabling the student to gain a wider understanding of motor vehicle engineering. The authors make the text accessible to a broad range of abilities by preparing a basic foundation of theory and exercises before including more taxing problems as knowledge is built up. Practical exercises are included to demonstrate the theory and these can be used in schools, colleges and garage workshops to assess understanding as each task is undertaken. This up-to-date text, based on the Institute of the Motor Industry's 600 series NVQ syllabus, is essential reading for students and keen amateurs in the field of motor vehicle engineering and maintenance.
