Re-thinking the Way Cultural Value is Conceptualised for Cultural Music Festivals, Undertaken Through a Digital Approach
The overarching purpose of this thesis is to provide an improved understanding of the 'cultural values' that are derived by the different visitor types attending the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod (LIME). Many academics have tried to measure the value of different elements of culture and the arts in monetary terms, yet not much work has been undertaken on how cultural values link to brand values.

With the changes over the past forty years in the way people die and in the ways they are cared for when ill, the attitudes toward death have changed. When death seemed a metaphysical event, it commanded a kind of respect. Today, with the process of dying protracted--sometimes for years--it seems an evidence of failure
The Struggle for Responsible Government in the North-West Territories 1870–97 (2nd Edition)
The establishment of responsible government in western Canada is still in process in Canada’s northern territories, and in this new edition Professor Thomas discusses the implications of the western experience for present political and constitutional questions.
