Modern Slavery in Agrarian Settings
This chapter explores the drivers behind the perpetuation of slavery within agricultural systems, and the nature and impact of victimisation by enslavement. Modern slavery, like its historic predecessor, exploits labour from the farm fields to the processor. Whilst financial gain is at the heart of this exploitation, it is perpetuated through a combination of downward cost pressure in the supply chain and the involvement of transnational organise…
Towards understanding the design of bodily integration
Horizon scanning rural crime in England
Dangerous Liaisons
Beliefs, attitudes and behaviour can be influenced in myriad ways. History has consistently demonstrated the struggle between protagonist and antagonist to win over ‘the people’, often through the simultaneous promotion and destruction of places, icons, myths, symbols and stories. Neil Verrall, Mark Dunkley and Toby Gane, three army reserve officers, and Richard Byrne, an independent geographer, describe four interconnected ways in which hostile …
Building partnerships
Water is generally plentiful in the United Kingdom; however, there is an emerging water quality issue driven by agricultural intensification. Poor land management over generations has contributed to the degradation of upland peat deposits leading to discolouration of potable water and the loss of valuable habitats. Employing agri-environmental schemes operated by the UK Government and private Capital One water company in the North West of England…
Modern slavery and agriculture
Trafficking and slavery is big business and is rooted in organised crime, both at a national and international level. Modern agriculture, for all its high-tech image, is still very much an industry based upon people power. For many people, especially the media, the face of modern slavery is overwhelmingly dominated by images of the sex industry, where predominately women and children are trafficked. The Act builds on previous legislation outlawin…
Spatio‐temporal complexity of chimpanzee food
Ecological complexity has been proposed to play a crucial role in primate brain-size evolution. However, detailed quantification of ecological complexity is still limited. Here we assess the spatio-temporal distribution of tropical fruits and young leaves, two primary chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) foods, focusing on the predictability of their availability in individual trees. Using up to 20 years of information on monthly availability of young le…
A Nod to Ned Ludd
Balkan Bottom Line
Tree of Origin
How did we become the linguistic, cultured, and successful apes we are? Our closest relatives offer tantalizing clues. In this volume top primate experts read these clues and compose an extensive picture of what the behaviour of monkeys and apes can tellus about our own evolution as a species

Introduction: the limits of fossil evidence 1. Taxonomy and the reconstruction of evolution 2. What is intelligence and what is it for? 3. How animals learn 4. Why animals learn better in social groups 5. Imitative behaviour in animals 6. Understanding how things work 7. Understanding minds: doing and seeing, knowing and thinking 8.

Dialects in wild chimpanzees
Chimpanzees emit a loud, species‐typical long distance call known as the pant hoot. Geographic variation between the pant hoots of chimpanzees living in two neighboring populations, the Mahale Mountains and Gombe Stream National Parks, Tanzania, was examined. Analysis of six acoustic features revealed subtle differences in the way chimpanzees from the two populations called. Individuals from the Mahale study site uttered one section of their pant…
