***************************
The Policy Press has just published a new book: ‘Evidence, policy and practice’, edited by Jon Glasby. I am sure that it will be of interest to members of this list.
This edited book provides a hard-hitting and deliberately provocative overview of the relationship between evidence, policy and practice, how policy is implemented and how research can and should influence the policy process.
For more information please see:
