First published in 1991. The connection between housing and work is
one of the most discussed yet least understood aspects of modern
society. Housing and Labour Markets explores the different ways in
which housing and labour are linked and examines their central
significance in many of the key changes in society today. It
provides a wide-ranging analysis of the relationships between
housing and labour markets, with accounts of the different forms of
work, paid and unpaid, in which various types of households are
engaged. This edited collection addresses the varied impact of
restructuring in both housing and labour markets in different
localities and regions, including contributions from the USA and
Australia. By making an important input into the growing debate
over the inks between home and work, this book shows the direction
in which the debate should go, draws out the principal lines of
connection and suggests a way forward. The issues addressed in
Housing and Labour Markets will be of interest to a wide range of
social science disciplines, especially urban studies, economics,
sociology, geography and planning. Local government officers in
housing and planning will also find it makes an invaluable
contribution to developing links between housing and the workplace.

Recent excavations at Taplow Court have revealed a long sequence of
activity stretching from the Mesolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period.
Mesolithic struck flints and charred hazelnuts, and early Neolithic
flints, were found in a small number of tree-throw holes. A group
of inter-cutting hollows or shallow pits of Early Bronze Age date
included sherds of Collared Urn and worked flint, rare evidence of
domestic activity of this period. There were also finds of the
middle Bronze Age, although no features of that phase were
confirmed. In the late Bronze Age, a defensible hilltop enclosure
about 1.2 ha was constructed on the site. The enclosure, probably
first established in the 11th century cal BC, had a complex
sequence of defences including a pair of post-rows possibly
indicating a timber palisade backed by a raised walkway, a
trench-built palisade, a ditch and rampart and further
posthole-lines outside the ditch. Only a limited area of the
interior was examined, but includes a series of parallel fence
lines, one probable roundhouse and up to five possible four-post
structures, with occupation extending into the 9th century cal BC.
Following a probable hiatus in activity represented by a standstill
deposit in the upper part of the ditch, a larger U-profiled
hillfort ditch was constructed in the Early Iron Age, probably in
the 5th century cal BC, the spoil being dumped over the previous
ditch to form a timber-laced rampart, which was soon after
destroyed in places by fire. The remains of the charred timbers
within the rampart have revealed some details of its construction.
The ditch however remained open into the Saxon period, and another
internal roundhouse may be Middle Iron Age. A third and even larger
V-profiled ditch was found outside the second ditch. Although the
date of construction of this outer ditch is uncertain, it too
remained open into the Saxon period, suggesting that the hillfort
had many ditches its later stages. Price is approximate.

This book investigates the theoretical and practical implications
of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies for
democratic decision making. What new structures of democracy does
blockchain technology enable? A cryptodemocracy is
cryptographically-secured collective choice infrastructure on which
individuals coordinate their voting property rights. Drawing on
economic and political theory, a cryptodemocracy is a more fluid
and emergent form of collective choice. This book examines these
theoretical characteristics before exploring specific applications
of a cryptodemocracy in labor bargaining and corporate governance.
The analysis of the characteristics of a more emergent and
contractual democratic process has implications for a wide range of
collective choice.
This book offers a detailed account of the legal issues concerning
the British Indian Ocean Territory (Chagos Islands) by leading

Sea, to the UK government's creation of a Marine Protected Area
around the Chagos Archipelago. This book, produced in response to
the 50th anniversary of the BIOT's founding, also assesses the
impact of the decisions taken in respect of the Territory against a
wider background of decolonization while addressing important
questions about the lawfulness of maintaining Overseas Territories
in the post-colonial era.The chapter 'Anachronistic As Colonial
