    Looks forward as it mentions long term implications:

    Synopsis
    "The New Progressive Dilemma" documents the international diffusion, ideological meaning and long-term political implications of the 'ideas' that informed the late twentieth-century revolution in thinking inside the British Labour Party - a revolution that had important antecedents in Australia.

    Pub. Date: September 2007
    Synopsis


    Analyzing the last 10 years of British parliament, contributors examine the age of Tony Blair as Prime Minister and the time of Labour Party dominance as it comes to an end. Comparing previous Labour Party governments to the current, scholars reflect on the past, present, and future of British politics and whether a Labour dominated government will outlast Blair’s period in office. Offering opinions and political forecasting from some of the most respected experts in their fields, Blair’s political history is examined and critiqued, contemplating the outcome and effects of his decisions and policies as Prime Minister since 1997.

    Biography

    Gerry Hassan is a writer, researcher, and editor of Scotland 2020: Hopeful Stories for a Northern Nation.

    ok, my 'source' has a different suggestions for the two books connecting bob dylan with the ashes:

    10/Bob Dylan behind the shades (Clinton Heylin)
    and : Behind the Shades (Duncan Fletcher) (who coached england to their ashes victory in 2005)!

    Personally I think they have it right - it is a connection between the two books that seems very obvious (the title) one about Bob Dylan, one about cricket.

    What do you all think?

    Now I feel really stupid. I had those this afternoon and didn't manage to get the connection. Its so bl...y obvious too now.
    Doh!!!!

    I've invited my 'source' to join us here as they have been a runner up on the Times Literary quiz once and their brother won the Times Art Quiz last year using their answers! I told them we are all very nice here and share everything - unlike the board I bumped into them on - they were helping other people and nothing was being shared in return :)

    They were struggling with number 1 as well though.
