Description
The place of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in the British political system is of great importance. This text provides an account for 'A' Level and undergraduate students and their teachers. It begins by examining the development of the Cabinet system and the evolution of the Premiership from the monarch's chief adviser to head of the executive. The Prime Ministerial versus Cabinet government controversy is then examined, along with the process of gaining and losing the Premiership. Further chapters look at the role and structure of the Cabinet, the PM's functions, his or her role as a chief policy maker, relations with the party, Parliament and the public and the impact of the media.

Description
In one of the first monographs of its kind to focus on the aesthetic and emotional impact of lighting in cinema, Lara Thompson looks at the way light informs the cinematic experience, from constructing star identities, sculpting natural light and creating imaginary worlds, to the seductive power of darkness, fading representations of the past and arresting twilight encounters.
This groundbreaking and accessible introductory study offers a unique insight into the way illumination has transcended its diffuse functional boundaries and been elevated to a position of narrative and emotional importance, transforming it from an unobtrusive element of film style to an expressive and essential component. It includes analyses of over fifty renowned international films, discussed in inventive and illuminating combinations, from cinema's earliest moments to its most recent digital manifestations, and is essential reading for all those who want to understand what film light means and how it makes us feel. -- .
