Understanding the “Tap Gap”
Since the 1970s, how people drink water in the USA has changed dramatically. Bottled water and home-filtered water have made intense market advances, with only 25% of people now reporting that tap water is their primary drinking source. This is despite billions of dollars of government funds being poured into maintaining, refurbishing, and promoting local water systems. This article helps explain the social contours of the “tap gap,” that is, why…
How Homeownership, Race, and Social Connections Influence Flood Preparedness Measures
Climate change and changing built environments are changing flooding regimes. Since flood management policies often rely on household preparedness, understanding what factors shape household flood preparedness measures is imperative. We focus on three dimensions: race, participation in local organizations, and homeownership as moderated by flood experience. With survey data from two small riverside cities in the northeastern United States, we exa…
Different Hazards, Different Responses
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and extreme flooding events have recently taken enormous tolls. Drawing on research into differential risk responses across hazards, the authors examine how different social processes surrounding risk from flooding and COVID-19 shape how people respond to each hazard. Data from a household survey of 498 residents in two cities in the northeastern United States reveal that levels of concern and prot…

Black Utopia
Ritual on the Threshold
This article examines the mezuzah’s role in the construction of social spaces in antiquity. Located on the threshold, the mezuzah could be associated with a house’s interior or exterior. Philo and the tannaitic rabbis envisioned different social constituencies engaging the mezuzah on different sides of the threshold. Philo imagines a broad public including Jews and gentiles interacting with the mezuzah, such that the mezuzah adds a distinctively …
Sexual Nostalgia
Sexual intercourse began in 1963, famously too late for Philip Larkin. His timing was precise, ‘Between the end of the Chatterley ban/ And the Beatles’ first LP ...’ , Up till then there’d only been A sort of bargaining, A wrangle for a ring, A shame that started at sixteen And spread to everything. Larkin’s ‘wrangle’ and ‘shame’ cling tenaciously in popular memory. Recent historiography likewise reads sexual experience before the pill through th…

History's Value
This issue of HWJ carries two features which spring directly or indirectly from the work of two founding editors, Tim Mason and Gareth Stedman Jones. Together these show how the study of British and European history has changed in the past forty or so years. On German and Italian fascism and modern British history respectively, they remind us of the value of historical thinking as a means to comprehend political and cultural change. The questions…
Digital Sources, Access and 'History of a Nation
Every ten years a frisson passes through the diasporic world of British family history when the manuscript census forms compiled a hundred years earlier become available to the modern historian. The 1911 manuscript census was released unexpectedly early – and online – in January 2009. Overnight, and with relative ease, family historians could take the next step along the trail of their own micro-history. For other historians too the release of th…

The poor have the right to be beautiful
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in hospitals that offer cosmetic surgery to the poor, this article examines the causes of a rapid growth in plastic surgery rates in Brazil over the past two decades. It argues that problems with diverse social origins manifest themselves as aesthetic defects, which are diagnosed and treated by the beauty industry. But plastic surgery also incites the consumer desires of people on the margins of the market econom…

The Great Tower
The Great Tower is an extremely large bronze sculpture, standing 10 metres high beside the lake at Rutland Water, near Leicester, England. The following describes how it was conceived and created, with reference to some of the problems caused by its large scale. The relationship between sculpture and environment is also discussed
A Model of Population Change with New and Return Migration
A model of population change is applied to the analysis of new and return migration in a two-region system. The structure of the model is examined analytically given various assumptions about constancy in numbers of migrants and in migration rates. The model is applied to the numerical example of birthplace-specific movement between Great Britain and the rest of the world
