Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As citizens, why do we care about the everyday life of ministers and civil servants? We care because the decisions of the great and the good affect all our lives, for good or ill. For all their personal, political, and policy failings and foibles, they make a difference. So, we want to know what ministers and bureaucrats do, why, and how. We are interested in their beliefs and practices. In his fascinating piece of political anthropology, Rod Rhodes uncovers exactly how the British political elite thinks and acts. Drawing on unprecedented access to ministers and senior civil servants in three government departments, he answers a simple question: 'what do they do?' On the basis of extensive fieldwork, supplemented by revealing interviews, he tries to capture the essence of their everyday life. He describes the ministers' and permanent secretaries' world through their own eyes, and explores how their beliefs and practices serve to create meaning in politics, policy making, and public-service delivery. He goes on to analyze how such beliefs and practices are embedded in traditions; in webs of protocols, rituals, and languages. The story he has to tell is dramatized through in-depth accounts of specific events to show ministers and civil servants 'in action'. He challenges the conventional constitutional, institutional, and managerial views of British governance. Instead, he describes a storytelling political-administrative elite, with beliefs and practices rooted in the Westminster model, which uses protocols and rituals to domesticate rude surprises and cope with recurrent dilemmas.

Books include: The Polar Bear's Fake Mate The Lion's Fake Wife The Tiger's Fake Date 1 - The Polar Bear's Fake Mate One bear. One human. One big, fat lie. Justin You'd think that with a backstory like mine, the idea of taking a mate is unbelievable. You'd be right. The only reason I'm agreeing to this entire "mates" thing is so that my mother gets off my back, my shareholders are happy, and I continue moving forward in my career. I'm the face of a multi-billion dollar company. I don't need any scandals in my midst. Rebecca The offer is for one year. One year of pretending to be this guy's mate, and then we can have a quiet divorce. He just needs his shareholders off of his back, and me? Well, I'd like to not starve to death. Only, there's more than meets the eye when it comes to Justin. He might have money and brains and incredibly good looks, but there's a secret that lurks behind those beautiful eyes. And I intend to find out what it is. 2 - The Lion's Fake Wife One lion. One human. One important lie. Melinda I don't have much going for me until I see an ad in the local newspaper. Wanted: one bride. It seems like a total scam except for the fact that it'll get me out of Kansas. After dealing with my past, I'm more than happy to claim this Get Out of Kansas Free card. After spending a year in prison, staying married to a CEO for half of a year doesn't seem too bad, now does it? Yeah, some weird things seem to happen in Rawr County and the people there aren't exactly welcoming to outsiders, but it can't be all bad...can it? Basil I'll do whatever it takes to improve my image at the company. Apparently, my shareholders don't look too fondly on the fact that I've been something of a playboy in recent years. All that's about to change, though, because I'm getting married. The moment I see Melinda, I know that she's the one. My inner-lion knows, too. She's not just the woman I'm going to marry for the sake of improving my personal image. She's the one I'm going to marry because she's my fated mate. Only, Melinda doesn't know I'm a shifter, and she's got a few secrets of her own. When an enemy from her past resurfaces in Rawr County, we're going to have some hard decisions to make. We're going to have to fight for what we believe in, and we're going to have to fight for her safety. Luckily for Melinda, I love a good challenge. 3 - The Tiger's Fake Date One date. One wedding. One enormous lie. Ivy If Susan wasn't so uptight, none of this would be a problem. It wouldn't. Not really. As it is, she's the biggest Bridezilla I've ever seen, which is why I'm stuck interviewing actors to play my boyfriend at her upcoming nuptials. The guy I choose is tall, hot as hell, and...nerdy. Like, ultra-nerdy. He plays video games and reads comics, and he's seen more anime than me, which is no easy task. Lincoln has a secret, though. It's something beyond the normal nerdiness. It's something that he doesn't want anyone to know about. I want to know about it, though. What is this guy hiding? And why do I have a feeling that it'll change everything? Lincoln When I started running my fake date service, I didn't expect to meet someone like Ivy. I didn't expect to want more than just a single date. I couldn't have possibly planned any of this. That's exactly what's happening, though. Just one date, and my inner-tiger lets me know that yeah, she's our mate. Unfortunately for me, she doesn't know I'm a tiger shifter, and she doesn't know I think she's my one true love. Is Ivy strong enough to handle the truth? Am I?
