A Nation of Shopkeepers by Bill Evans

A Nation of Shopkeepers by Bill Evans

In the last decade or so, English towns and villages have been altered almost beyond recognition, and the small specialist shops, run by families who have taken a fierce pride in their traditions of quality and service, are in danger of disappearing forever. A Nation of Shopkeepers is a photographic tribute to these bastions of personal enterprise while they still survive. Bill Evans and Andrew Lawson have combed England to record the strong feeling of period and design that these small shops encompass, whether through style and decoration of their frontages and interiors, their signs, displays of wares or the craftsmanship they offer their customers.

Dr Lawson is Professor of Biostatistics in the Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Department of Public Health Sciences, College of Medicine, MUSC and is an MUSC Distinguished Professor Emeritus and ASA Fellow. His PhD was in Spatial Statistics from the University of St. Andrews, UK.

He has over 190 journal papers on the subject of spatial epidemiology, spatial statistics and related areas. In addition to a number of book chapters, he is the author of 10 books in areas related to spatial epidemiology and health surveillance. The most recent of these is Lawson, A.B. et al (eds) (2016) Handbook of Spatial Epidemiology. CRC Press, New York, and in 2018 a 3rd edition of Bayesian Disease Mapping: Hierarchical Modeling in Spatial Epidemiology CRC Press. He has acted as an advisor in disease mapping and risk assessment for the World Health Organization (WHO) and is the founding editor of the Elsevier journal Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology. Dr Lawson has delivered many short courses in different locations over the last 20 years on Bayesian Disease Mapping with OpenBUGS, INLA, and Nimble, and more general spatial epidemiology topics.
