Monitoring and perception of allergenic pollen in urban park environments
Parallel pollen monitorings and a park visitors’ survey on park use and allergy symptoms were conducted. • ’Despite high pollen concentrations, most of the allergy sufferers did not change their park visitation routine. • Respondents with allergies rather seemed to regulate the pollen-related allergic symptoms through the use of medication. • Survey participants recommended urban green space planning should consider planting more non-allergenic t…
Toxic torts as compensation
Residents living in close proximity to contaminated sites may experience adverse effects from financial losses and property devaluation, leading to poor mental health and physical illnesses-effects that may require compensation. The most common legal process of seeking compensation is the toxic tort-litigation pressed on the basis that contamination has harmed the victims. Several recent toxic tort class actions in Australia brought by residents …
The North Atlantic Fish Revolution (ca. AD 1500)
We propose the concept of the “Fish Revolution” to demarcate the dramatic increase in North Atlantic fisheries after AD 1500, which led to a 15-fold increase of cod ( Gadus morhua ) catch volumes and likely a tripling of fish protein to the European market. We consider three key questions: (1) What were the environmental parameters of the Fish Revolution? (2) What were the globalising effects of the Fish Revolution? (3) What were the consequences…
A legal geography of the regulation of contaminated land in Williamtown, New South Wales
Legal geographers have recently been interested in interlegality: the interactions between different legal orders governing one particular space. Contaminated land is one such space governed by multiple legal orders; however, it is yet to receive great attention in legal geography. In Australia, different authorities and bodies cooperate together in a responsive regulatory framework to prevent contamination and then manage cases where contaminati…

Learners’ perceptions of daily singing in a school community severely affected by earthquakes
This article describes learners’ perceptions of daily singing in a school community severely affected by earthquakes, and considers whether and how their experiences might contribute towards well-being. The findings are drawn from Action Research led by a core team of two university researchers and the deputy principal of the school. Learners’ perceptions of singing were linked to indicators of well-being drawn from three models of well-being tha…
Coffeehouses And The Art Of Social Engagement
Coffeehouses have been a part of America's cultural landscape since the seventeenth century. Their fortunes have risen and fallen with the changing demand for coffee and consumer preferences. This paper examines their historic function of promoting social engagement as so‐called third places among independently owned coffeehouses in the city of Portland, Oregon. Individual coffeehouses were evaluated to determine the extent to which they provided…
