/Boydell Press, (1999), . ::This work is described by the RHS as: "This detailed case-study offers a penetrating analysis of the changing political culture in Cornwall up to and after the introduction of the 1832 electoral system. It spans a century in which the country’s parliamentary over-representation and notorious political corruption was replaced by a politicised electorate for whom issues and principles were usually paramount. Several modes of electoral behaviour are tested; in particular, the continuous political activism of Cornwall’s farmers stands out. Despite remnants of the unreformed electoral system lingering into the mid-Victorian era, Cornwall developed a powerful Liberal tradition, built upon distinctive patterns of non-conformity; the Conservatives, split by dissension, saw their pre-reform ascendancy disappear." * "Managers and Agents: Conservative Party Organisation in the 1850s" in ''Parliamentary History'' 27 (1), 7–18 (2008) *''Between the Flags: One Hundred Summers of Australian Surf Lifesaving'', UNSW Press, (2006), , (edited).
