The referendum on Britain's EU membership is a pivotal political event, and for the first time, the man who initiated that vote shares insights into its origins and his experiences at the pinnacle of British politics. As Conservative Party leader during a significant financial crash, David Cameron faced numerous challenges, including the Arab Spring and the Eurozone crisis, which unfolded in his first year as prime minister. He navigated a rapidly changing EU landscape, confronting issues like the rise of ISIS and surging migration. Cameron discusses his efforts to modernize a party that had faced three electoral defeats and to establish the first coalition government in seventy years. He outlines his role in revitalizing Britain's economy through a compassionate agenda, which encompassed education and welfare reform, the legalization of gay marriage, the Scottish independence referendum, and innovative environmental policies. He candidly reflects on key political figures and his own successes and failures, sharing personal insights, including the tragic loss of his son. Cameron also details his commitment to overseas aid, the decision to deploy British troops in conflicts, and the events leading to the EU referendum, including the renegotiation and campaign. This memoir offers a compelling glimpse into the complexities of modern leadership and life behind the iconic door of 10 Downing Street.

Climate change is often portrayed as an overwhelming threat requiring significant sacrifices for a sustainable lifestyle. However, this book challenges that notion, presenting a collective vision from prominent figures who believe that living well doesn't have to come at such a cost. It explores diverse areas, including architecture, politics, food, and happiness, aiming to reshape perceptions of climate change and personal responsibility. Rather than focusing on despair, contributors argue that this crisis offers a unique opportunity to tackle various interconnected issues with creativity and optimism. If approached correctly, we could transition from an environmental catastrophe to a scenario where we enjoy fulfilling lives while effectively addressing pressing challenges. Notable contributions include insights on love and happiness from Phillip Pullman, A. C. Grayling, and Oliver James; discussions on design by Kevin McCloud and Nic Marks; sustainable food perspectives from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Colin Tudge; political insights from David Cameron and Caroline Lucas; and reflections on enjoyment from Tom Hodgkinson and David Boyle. Additionally, perspectives on ethical business practices are provided by Anita Roddick, Adair Turner, and others, emphasizing that a better future is possible without compromising our quality of life.

Since the first edition was published in 2008, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has emerged as a powerful, and sometimes preferred, deposition technology. The new edition of this groundbreaking monograph is the first text to review the subject of ALD comprehensively from a practical perspective. It covers ALD's application to microelectronics (MEMS) and nanotechnology; many important new and emerging applications; thermal processes for ALD growth of nanometer thick films of semiconductors, oxides, metals and nitrides; and the formation of organic and hybrid materials.
