Bisexual Horizons:
Politics, Histories, Lives
 Through its diversity, bisexuality challenges notions
of fixed sexual identity and its very existence as a chosen identification raises
interesting contradictions for both straight society and lesbian and gay groups. This
encyclopaedic book offers a multifaceted, multicultural survey of bisexuality and the
bisexual movement. It is divided into four sections. Theory and Representation, which
argues for flexibility in all theories of sexual identity; Personal Stories where
bisexuals from many countries and backgrounds tell their stories and share their thoughts;
HIV, AIDS and Safer Sex which looks beyond the myths and examines bisexual safer-sex
practices; and Bisexual Politics, which documents the development of the bisexual movement
and its relationships to other political groups. The essays of experience and analysis in
Bisexual Horizons have been edited by the Off Pink Collective, a group of bisexual
activists who have pioneered the documentation of bisexual experience. This book marks an
important stage in the coming of age of the bisexual community and is an essential read
for anyone interested in the politics of sexuality.

300 Billion: Your Guide to Government Spending
 While working in the Treasury Richard Cocks
developed a passion to make detailed government spending plans readily available to the
citizens that fund them. This book is the result. Data derived from government reports and
unpublished Treasury sources are presented attractively and with clarity. The text
explains and discusses each area of spending. With the
widening credibility gap between the government and the people, and an election
approaching, this book could not be more timely. • The
only systematic analysis of public sector spending ever published in one volume • Puts into financial perspective all areas of government activity in
the 1990s • An invaluable reference for anyone
interested in informed political debate • Pie charts and
graphs present most of the data; selected "Matt" cartoons prompt a few smiles
Everyone with a stake in British democracy should have access to
this book.
