Recent UK government policy on climate change, and wider policy movement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, emphasise the building of adaptive capacity.

The authors synthesise theory from social learning and institutional aspects of multilevel environmental governance to help unpack the patterns of individual and collecti…

It is relatively rare today for the work of engineers to feature in contemporary fiction. But it was not always so. Nineteenth-century novelists frequently mentioned actual or invented fictional engineers in their writing. For example, Charles Dickens in his book, The Uncommercial Traveller, describes a meeting with a young person at Chatham Dockyard in Kent and relates a conversation he had with ‘The Wise Boy’ of whom Dickens said

Diplomacy of Fear: Canada and the Cold War 1941–1948
Smith’s clam reassessment of post-war history sheds considerable light on the roots of East-West relations in the later 1980s, and should assist current efforts to see these relations with renewed realism and good sense
