Has anybody heard of a book called "Current Research Interests in Britain", or a book with a similar title? does anyone know how i can get a hold of it? Thanks

There is a series of books known as Current Research in Britain (CRIB) which was published by a company called 'Cartermill International'. This is probably what you are looking for. CD Rom versions are available in most university libraries. From what we can gather however there have been no new editions for a number of years (the 13th edition is the most recent). Unfortunately we can't put a date to this as 'Cartermill International' (a subsidiary of the Financial Times) appears to no longer exist. The most recent editions we could find on Amazon are from 1998 and would probably be of little use to you.
