Ten new insights in climate science 2025
Non-Technical Summary This review highlights 10 recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, spanning diverse topics: (1) the global temperature jump of 2023–2024; (2) sea surface warming and marine heatwaves; (3) land carbon sinks; (4) interactions between climate change and biodiversity loss; (5) accelerated groundwater decline; (6) global dengue incidence; (7) income and labour productivity loss; (8) strategic conside…

The more mundane and ubiquitous objects are, the easier they are to overlook in cultural and political life. The bicycle has often suffered this fate of invisibility.1 With consistent and dedicated

The Emergence of Bicycling and Automobility in Britain
Vélomobility is to degrowth as automobility is to growth
At the end of the nineteenth century, the autonomous mobility provided by bicycles and tricycles created a mobile imaginary that paved the way for automobility. Through the course of the twentieth century, the growth and decline of cycling mobilities was inseparably entangled with the rise of a range of motor-mobilities (two and four wheeled). Yet cycling persists and is championed widely as a contender for future mobility in post-growth societie…
Cycling and the British
Reviewed by: Cycling and the British: A Modern History by Neil Carter Peter Cox (bio) Cycling and the British: A Modern History By Neil Carter. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2020. Pp. 368. For about a decade, I've had a pet project jotted down in the back of my notebook that I thought of as "Britons on Bikes." Finally, I can "park" this project, as Neil Carter has ensured it is no longer needed. It is peculiar, and perhaps telling, that British hi…
From the Murray to the Mekong
This article presents glimpses of the life and fieldwork of Grant Evans, the foremost anthropologist and historian to work on Laos in recent decades. It explores his youth in rural Australia, his tumultuous student years, and the challenges he faced as a professional scholar negotiating the Lao PDR bureaucracy. It draws insights from some of his early writing for alternative publications in Australia, as well as extensive discussions and correspo…

The Ambonese Connection
The opening articles in this issue address themes previously explored in Perfect Beat v2n3 'Traffic' - which examined the complexity of cultural flows between the Western Pacific region and the North Atlantic axis of Western culture. In the case of Casch, the movement was from Indonesia to Australia (as the nearest periphery of Western culture). In particular, it analyses how Casch's part in the local history of rock and roll has been 'whited out…
Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (Aimes)
The IGBP Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES) project has developed the notion of Earth System Science (ESS). ESS studies how the planet operates as a coupled system of interacting components, which produce emergent behaviors over and beyond the dynamics of the individual components. Many climate models used in the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5) include representations of the physical climate system and the biologica…
Personalised learning
Personalised learning is now broadly endorsed as a key strategy to improve student curricular engagement and academic attainment, but there is also strong critique of this construct. We review claims made for this approach, as well as concerns about its conceptual coherence and effects on different learner cohorts. Drawing on literature around differentiation of the curriculum, self‐regulated learning, and ‘relational agency’ we propose a framewo…
Social and cultural construction of obesity among Pakistani Muslim women in North West England
Objective The present qualitative study explored health perceptions, diet and the social construction of obesity and how this relates to the initiation and maintenance of a healthier diet in UK Pakistani women. Design Pakistani women in Greater Manchester participated in focus group and one-to-one discussions. Semi-structured interviews employing fictional vignettes and body shape images were used to explore the participants’ beliefs and practice…

Regions of Strong Coupling Between Soil Moisture and Precipitation
Previous estimates of land-atmosphere interaction (the impact of soil moisture on precipitation) have been limited by a lack of observational data and by the model dependence of computational estimates. To counter the second limitation, a dozen climate-modeling groups have recently performed the same highly controlled numerical experiment as part of a coordinated comparison project. This allows a multimodel estimation of the regions on Earth wher…
Re-evaluating Gandhi
Gandhian contributions to the development of the green movement have been generally under-explored. This article seeks to re-examine key Gandhian themes in order to indicate their potential contribution to some contemporary debates. The emphasis on place-centred knowledge, tempered by a ‘post-relativistic ethic’, is highlighted as a valuable resource for interpreting contemporary ‘environmental’ activism. It is suggested that such a framework can…

International Variations in The Relative Ages of Brides and Grooms
Data showing the relative ages of husbands and wives at marriage in one post-war year are available for many countries, and show that the age distribution of wives for men of a given age varies appreciably from country to country. So also does the age distribution of husbands for a given age of bride. The range of the average ages of marriage partners, from country to country within Europe, is about 2 years for either sex. The first part of the p…
Sex differences in age at marriage
The subject of this talk is the ages of brides and grooms and how the relativity of the ages of such marriage partners has changed in England and Wales over the years. It is a well-documented subject in the sense that square tables showing the combinations of ages of marrying couples have been published annually since the middle of the nineteenth century. It is not well-documented in the sense that these plentiful data have attracted the research…

Studies in the recent marriage and fertility data of England and Wales
Indexes of the marriage rates for the years 1921-47 and of the fertility experience since the Population (Statistics) Act, 1938, came into force are set out in a series of tables. The first-marriage rates for each sex are analysed by calendar year and age and also by a generation approach; the relative merits of the various methods of their presentation are discussed. Fluctuations in the sizes of male and female marriage rates in each age-group a…
