Your Glasses Are on Top of Your Head: Tales of Life, Longevity, and Laughter

"Berkeley Hill’s Understanding the Common Agricultural Policy fills a gap in the agricultural policy literature with his comprehensive approach to the policy process and his deep understanding of its past and present. The book combines the up-to-date factual developments of the CAP with the critical views of the author. It is an essential reading for scholars, the policy community and the general public interested to understand why and how Europe transfer public money to farmers."– Sophia Davidova, Professor of European Agricultural Policy, School of Economics, University of Kent 
"Books on the CAP typically set out to explain what the CAP is. This book instead addresses what is meant by 'policy' and 'policy process', in order to demonstrate why there is a policy and why it is the way it is. It provides a novel analysis of the CAP as an example of a complex public policy and is thus an important complement to works that provide only a description of the CAP and its instruments."– Professor Rob Ackrill, Nottingham Trent University, UK 
"The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a complicated set of measures used to pursue a range of policy objectives. Its complexity has increased over time as EU policymakers have sought to respond to an expanding array of issues facing food, agriculture and rural areas. It is extremely difficult to provide a comprehensive, integrated and understandable analysis of the whys and wherefores of the CAP. Berkeley Hill’s volume succeeds admirably in this task. It is essential reading for those who want to understand a policy that remains central to the identity of the European Union." – David Blandford, Professor of Agricultural and Environmental Economics, The Pennsylvania State University
"This comprehensive and understandable analysis by Emeritus Professor of Policy Analysis at Imperial College London goes behind the Pillar I & II modulation and agri-environment schemes of current reform, to explain the problems that the CAP is intended to address. It looks at the conflicts, trade offs and unintended consequences involved, before putting the present policy in its historical perspective." – SD, Food Ethics, the magazine of the Food Ethics Council

'...In an ideal world, everyone that has even a remote relation to policy and decision making would keep a well-worn copy of this book always at hand.' - British Journal of Sociology

'Both those who try to understand policy failures and those who intend to advise policy makers should take its argument about clumsiness seriously According to Verweij, Thompson and Engel, clumsiness is the new norm to craft policies suited to our complex world through the acknowledgement of plural logics. The message is convincingly conveyed here.'
- Political Geography

'Casual observers might think 'clumsiness' comes naturally to government and public policy-making. If so, they might be surprised by how often it is carefully suppressed - often with disastrous consequences, as this book shows. We need to develop the methodology for the important angle of vision this book represents.' - Christopher Hood, Gladstone Professor of Government, University of Oxford, UK

'This study is a clever and important assault on the precepts 'drummed into the heads of those who aspire to be policy analysts' - that there is a single mindset in which a problem must be defined, facts and values distinguished and simple evaluative metrics deployed to achieve optimisation. The authors demonstrate the tragedies perpetrated by this dangerous approach. They show that plural voices - as identified by cultural theory - are necessary for clumsy, but safe, constructively engaged and politically feasible policy-making.' - Tony Allan, Kings College and SOAS, University of London, UK

Boldly and elegantly, Architecture Depends asserts that architecture is absolutely dependent upon the 'contingent', difficult and perverse factors that architects have long tried to ignore in an effort to be pure, self-important and professional...What Till's book achieves is to set out with great clarity the territory in which the debate around future action must take place.&#8212;Robert Mull , Architects' Journal&mdash;Architecture Depends is an attempt to save the profession from itself and a manifesto for an architecture that acknowledges its relationship with the world and its duty to others...This is a brave, enjoyable, affirming and important book and I actually felt sad to have finished it.&#8212;Flora Samuel, Times Higher Education (Book of the Week)&mdash;The book performs a wonderful contextualizing function, making architectural intervention, from idea to event, depend on the wide range of human habits and spheres of influence that we normally sum up as 'the world'.&#8212;Lucas Freeman, Scapegoat&mdash;Thought-provoking and important...Architecture Depends raises the question of the relationship of architecture and life to a new level.&#8212;Anni Vartola, Arkkitehti (Finland)&mdash;Till's book is about the world he knows and how one conveys ideas behind architecture. It is a superbly written, frequently fascinating set of arguments that will support architects who wish to use the messy stuff of life for their own advantage.&#8212;Tim Abrahams , Blueprint&mdash;
