He also accumulated nearly two decades leading the planning team of the most significant planning department in the country.         With behind-the-scenes anecdotes of numerous leadership and other battles at the most important local authority in the country, this book also includes numerous amusing stories of incidents that have, until now, remained untold.         His year as Lord Mayor of Westminster is told with fascinating insights into life in the Establishment. Added to this are the stories of how he met his husband, Sir Simon Milton, and how they were outed by a full front page of the Evening Standard. The book also deals with Simon’s battle with leukaemia and his rise to become the senior Deputy Mayor of London in Boris Johnson’s mayoralty and describes anecdotes of Simon’s close relationship with Boris Johnson.         Amusing, interesting, revealing and absorbing, this book gives a colourful insight into the way central London is governed as well as Robert’s life in the fast lane.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554537840913,"sku":"GOR013733873","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52718697775377,"sku":"NGR9781839524554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839524553.jpg?v=1751123160"},{"product_id":"speed-is-life-book-robert-j-davis-9780385501361","title":"Speed Is Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe interest in human polyomaviruses (HPyV) has seen a renaissance because of new species that have been isolated and their previously unknown association with diseases. Likewise, the increasing evidence for the association of human papillomaviruses (HPV) with oropharyngeal cancer has sparked the attention of researchers and clinicians. The Special Issue Human Polyomaviruses and Papillomaviruses presents studies describing the nuclear egress of BK polyomavirus mediated by the viral agnoprotein and the cellular a-SNAP protein. In addition, a study examines the promoter activity of two different variants of human polyomavirus 9 in different cell lines. This Special Issue offers an interesting perspective on the epidemiology of HR-HPV in different cancers and on the mechanisms by which these viruses target host cell proteins to replicate their genome, express their genes, interfere with autophagy, and induce cancer. Other topics that are highlighted include the role of co-factors, such as smoking and co-infection, novel therapeutic strategies, and surface immunoregulatory proteins, chemokines, and cytokines as possible biomarkers to determine the stage of a tumor and to predict clinical outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49629209231633,"sku":"GOR002934199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49725698900241,"sku":"CIN0385501366G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51329859617041,"sku":"CIN0385501366VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385501366.jpg?v=1751038581"},{"product_id":"coffee-is-good-for-you-book-robert-j-davis-9780399537257","title":"Coffee is Good for You","description":"Though food is supposed to be one of life's simple pleasures, few things cause more angst and confusion.
