This book discusses the role and impact of ‘Public
Criminology’. It brings together a collection of key
scholars who have been at the fore of empirical and practice work
in relation to understanding how ‘Public Criminology’ can
engender academic activism. Split into two parts, it focusses
on academic activism and research methodologies, and public
criminology and pedagogical practice. It includes chapters on a
range of topics including Inside-Out teaching, it discusses
the role of social scientists and stepping outside of
established research practices, and how students, the public
and children can be engaged in criminological learning and issues
to become agents of social change. It includes a reflection
on how ‘Public Criminology’ has developed both in the UK and
USA. It speaks to students, researchers and academics
alike involved in teaching and learning within the discipline of
Criminology and those who wish to evaluate practice and
ensure their interventions have impact on commissioners and
policymakers.
Coastal communities depend on the marine environment for their
livelihoods, but the common property nature of marine resources
poses major challenges for the governance of such resources.
Through detailed cases and consideration of broader global trends,
this volume examines how coastal communities are adapting to
environmental change, and the attributes of governance that foster
deliberate transformations and help to build resilience of social
and ecological systems. Governance here reflects how communities,
societies and organisations (e.g. fisher cooperatives, government
agencies) choose to organise themselves to make decisions about
important issues, such as the use and protection of coastal commons
(e.g. fishery resources). The book shows how a governance approach
generates insights into the specific forms and arrangements that
enable coastal communities to steer away from unsustainable
pathways. It also provides an analytical lens to consider important
questions of power, knowledge and legitimacy in linked
social-ecological systems. Chapters highlight examples in which
communities are engaging in deliberative transformations to build
resilience and enhance their well-being. These transformations and
efforts to build resilience are emerging through multi-level
collaboration, shared learning, innovative policies and
institutional arrangements (such as new property rights regimes and
co-management), methodologies that engage with indigenous cultural
practices, and entrepreneurial activities, including income and
livelihood diversification. Case studies are included from a range
of countries including Canada, Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico,
South Africa, Thailand, the South Pacific and Europe. The authors
integrate theory with practical examples to improve coastal marine
policy and governance, and draw upon emerging concepts from
social-ecological resilience and transformations, adaptive
governance and the scholarship on the commons.

Small-scale fisheries make up a large proportion of world's
fisheries, both by catch and participation. Effective management is
essential to ensure access to fish for food and income. Covering
social and economic aspects of the fishery management and
governance challenge, this book provides guidance on innovative and
alternative management measures and methods for small-scale
fisheries. The book covers key topics such as rights, policy,
co-management, communications and trade, and is an important
reference for researchers and students in fisheries science and
management as well as fisheries research organizations and
policymakers.
This book, by a leading thinker with 30 years experience in the
field, is the first devoted to fibrous composites in biology. It
tackles a major unsolved problem in developmental biology - how
does chemistry create architecture outside cells? Fibrous
composites occur in all skeletal systems including plant cell
walls, insect cuticles, moth eggshells, bone and cornea. They
function like man-made fibreglass, with fibres set in a matrix. The
fibrous molecules are long, extracellular and water-insoluble and
to be effective they must be orientated strategically. The
underlying hypothesis of this book is that the fibres are
orientated by self-assembly just outside the cells during a mobile
liquid crystalline phase prior to stabilization. The commonest
orientations of the fibres are plywood laminates (orthogonal and
helicoidal), and as parallel fibres. These may be imitated in vitro
by liquid crystalline chemicals. The book takes an
interdisciplinary approach and will be relevant to biologists,
biochemists, biophysicists, material scientists and to liquid
crystals chemists.
SUSTAINABLE FISHERY SYSTEMS An up-to-date and interdisciplinary
guide to sustainable fisheries Fisheries, whether small-scale or
large-scale, are filled with complexity and uncertainty. Making the
right decisions to successfully manage fisheries for sustainability
and resilience requires a systems approach — including both
natural and human elements, and their many interactions. To
understand fisheries, and how they change over time, a diverse
range of fishery knowledge must be brought together. Sustainable
Fishery Systems, 2nd edition meets these needs. The new edition
provides essential information that can be readily applied within
government, community, industrial, academic and research settings.
Sustainable Fishery Systems, 2nd edition retains the first
edition’s emphasis on themes such as sustainability, resilience,
uncertainty, complexity, and conflict, and expands its treatment of
topics that have, since the first edition’s publication, become
crucial to consider in the field of fisheries. As a result, readers
will find: Updated and expanded coverage of topics including
coastal conservation, ecosystem-based management, co-management,
community-based management, and more New chapters covering
connections between fisheries and marine protected areas,
biodiversity conservation, climate and fisheries, and
multi-sectoral management A more detailed introduction to the
“systems†perspective of fisheries, reflecting the substantial
growth in that subject’s importance, and covering in detail the
natural, human and governance aspects of fisheries. Sustainable
Fishery Systems, 2nd edition is an indispensable interdisciplinary
resource for educators, researchers, government agencies, and
fisheries managers.
With marine ecosystems endangered by a warming climate and
exploding human population growth, a critical transformation is
taking place in the way the world's ocean resources are managed.
Marine Ecosystem-Based Management presents a state-of-the-art
synopsis of the conservation approaches that are currently being
translated from theory to action on a global scale. With
contributions from an international team of experts, this volume
synthesizes the scientific literature of holistic practices in
ecosystem-based management (EBM), focusing on protecting the marine
ecologies that humans and countless other organisms vitally depend
upon. Human uses of ocean ecosystems have usually been divided into
separate sectors--fisheries, transportation, tourism, and
recreation, for example--and ecosystem boundaries defined as much
by politics as geography. This approach is giving way to a broader
strategy based on integrated management of human activities in
scientifically identified regions of the marine environment.
Spanning a range of issues from the tropics to the poles, the
authors present analyses of open ocean systems and high-impact
regions such as coastlines, coral reefs, and estuaries. Methods of
modeling and evaluating marine EBM are explored, as well as the
role of governmental and other regulatory frameworks in ocean
management and the lessons to be learned from past ecological
interventions. It is now widely recognized that any viable strategy
for sustaining the world's oceans must reflect the relationships
among all ecosystem components, human and nonhuman species
included. Marine Ecosystem-Based Management is an in-depth report
of new advances in the rapidly evolving discipline of coupled
Human-Ecological Systems.
This book seeks to contribute to a better understanding of coastal
fisheries in the Latin American and the Caribbean region, as well
as to generate discussion about ways to move towards sustainable
fisheries. The book includes three main components. First, an
introductory chapter provides an overview of general trends in the
fisheries of the LAC countries. Second, a set of twelve chapters
each reporting on the coastal fisheries of one country in Latin
America and the Caribbean. Third, the final component of the book
contains a synthesis of information from the countries examined, an
analysis of the main issues and challenges faced by the various
fisheries, an outline of policy directions to improve fisheries
management systems in the LAC region, identification of routes
toward more integrated approaches for coastal fisheries management,
and recommendations for ways forward in dealing with fishery
assessment and governance issues in the region.
This book is an abridged version of the Cyclopaedia published by
Ephraim Chambers (1680 - 1740), in two volumes in 1728. A few
additional entries have been added from the four volume set
published by Abraham Rees (1743 - 1825), in 1774, to round out some
of the sparser articles. The abridgement consists of those entries
referring to heraldry and the military arts, thus providing an
insight into the state of warfare in the seventeenth century.
