  • Interpersonal Connections and Career Mobility in Bureaucratic Labor Markets

    Open AccessDanilo Cardoso, Flavio Cireno et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2026Referencias: 26

    Interpersonal networks are pervasive in state bureaucracies around the world. To what extent do they explain bureaucratic career trajectories? And are they driven more by political patronage and connections to influential bosses, or by information‐sharing and trust‐building among peers? We address these questions by constructing measures of the stock of interpersonal connections for the universe of over 440,000 Brazilian federal civil servants fo…

    Martin A J Williams, Martin WilliamsARTICLEScottish Geographical Journal2023

    Paul Bishop began his undergraduate studies in the School of Earth Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia at a time when plate tectonics had begun to revolutionize our understanding of landscape evolution. His doctoral research on the late Cenozoic evolution of the upper Lachlan Valley in the Eastern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, required an integrated study of the combined impacts of Cenozoic tectonism, vulcanism and er…

This roundtable is intended to spark additional discourse on the role of institutions in how they parameterize behaviors within or how indi…

  • Holocene Environments in Northeast Africa

    Martin WilliamsCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    This chapter provides an overview of the geography, hydrology, and climate of NE Africa, with particular reference to the complex interactions between river regime, climate, the biota, and human settlement. During the Early (11.7–8.2 ka) and Middle Holocene (8.2–4.2 ka) the climate was far less arid than today across the Nile basin, including Nubia, albeit with sporadic dry phases. Climatic desiccation set in during the Late Holocene (4.2 ka to p…

  • When the Sahara Was Green

    Martin A J Williams, Martin WilliamsBOOKWhen the Sahara Was Green2021

    The little-known history of how the Sahara transformed from a green and fertile land into the largest hot desert in the worldThe Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, equal in size to China or the United States. Yet, this arid expanse was once a verdant, pleasant land, populated by rivers and lakes. The Sahara sustained abundant plant and animal life, such as Nile perch, turtles, crocodiles, and hippos, and attracted prehistoric hunters …

  • The Nile Basin

    Open AccessMartin A J Williams, Martin WilliamsBOOKNile Basin2018

    The Nile Basin contains a record of human activities spanning the last million years. However, the interactions between prehistoric humans and environmental changes in this area are complex and often poorly understood. This comprehensive book explains in clear, non-technical terms how prehistoric environments can be reconstructed, with examples drawn from every part of the Nile Basin. Adopting a source-to-sink approach, the book integrates events…

  • Should Australian Psychology Consider Enhancing Psychotherapeutic Interventions with Psychedelic Drugs? A Call for Research

    Open AccessStephen J Bright, Stephen Bright et al.ARTICLEAustralian Psychologist2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 2

    International research is increasingly demonstrating that psychedelic‐assisted psychotherapy can enhance psychotherapeutic outcomes and be effective for some treatment‐refractory mental illnesses; however, there is an absence of any such research in Australia. A review of psychedelic science has been conducted with a focus on psychedelic‐assisted psychotherapy to highlight the degree to which such research is occurring overseas. While some studie…

  • Modelling individual preferences for environmental policy drivers

    Open AccessEva Valeri, Valerio Gatta et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2016Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

    Degraded air quality severely affects the health of citizens worldwide. The design of effective policies requires exploring public preferences for environmental and air quality policy instruments. Within the EC-FP7 SEFIRA project, using a choice experiment that stresses the trade-offs between attributes, this study investigates public preferences for environmental policy drivers in Italy. The main objective is to investigate the role played by se…

  • Argo and Other Excitements Around Iran's Islamic Revolution

    Martin WilliamsARTICLEAsian Affairs2014

    Ben Affleck's film ARGO is a good film, but not all the details are accurate. This article is by Martin Williams, the British diplomat who, contrary to the picture painted in the film, personally escorted to safety the Americans who had escaped when the Iranian Revolutionary guards took over the US Embassy. He sets that episode in the broader context of his personal experience of working during a complicated period during which initially there we…

  • Simultaneously Mitigating Near-Term Climate Change and Improving Human Health and Food Security

    Open AccessDrew Shindell, Johan C I Kuylenstierna et al.ARTICLEScience2012

    Why Wait? Tropospheric ozone can be dangerous to human health, can be harmful to vegetation, and is a major contributor to climate warming. Black carbon also has significant negative effects on health and air quality and causes warming of the atmosphere. Shindell et al. (p. 183 ) present results of an analysis of emissions, atmospheric processes, and impacts for each of these pollutants. Seven measures were identified that, if rapidly implemented…

    Secteur minier, décentralisation et pouvoir étatique au Sénégal : un modèle de gouvernance? Cet article analyse l'économie politique du secteur minier et du processus de décentralisation au Sénégal. Dans les deux cas, l'État a confié sa responsabilité en matière de développement aux acteurs locaux, sans leur transférer ni les ressources matérielles ni l'autorité nécessaires. Cette contradiction se résout dans la mise en place de connexions entre …

    A series of late Quaternary dunes are located in the vicinity of Port Augusta in the mid-north of South Australia. Observations of deflating archaeological material were first recorded by Norman B. Tindale during the 1939 Harvard- Adelaide University Anthropological Expedition (Tindale 1939:827).        A mile & 3/4 beyond the Port Augusta Bridge on the side of the road to Iron Knob, we hunted over a site where we had on a previous occasi…
