This thought-provoking Research Handbook offers a critical survey of the law and governance issues facing the world's oceans and coasts in this era of Anthropocentric climate change. It discusses the biophysical impacts that climate change is having upon our oceans and coasts, as well as the various ways that international, national and sub-national laws have sought to respond. With contributions from scientists and lawyers, this comprehensive Research Handbook provides cutting edge analysis of the marine governance responses to climate change and how this will need to adapt in a rapidly changing world. It reflects on the interaction of climate change with regional marine governance regimes and analyses the likely impacts on maritime and national security. Illustrating the up-to-date treatment of interactions between climate and oceans regimes, this incisive Research Handbook examines the possible adaptation options to address specific issues for our oceans and coasts. The Research Handbook on Climate Change, Oceans and Coasts will be a key resource for students, scholars and practitioners of climate change, water law and environmental law and policy, while also being of benefit to researchers in the cross-cutting fields of human rights and disaster law.

Announcing the third in the Mike Travis paranormal investigator series A longer pause and then a lowered tone. ""Jesus Christ, Josh. What have you found?"" An even longer pause. ""The Ark of the Covenant."" When paranormal investigator Mike Travis answers a call for help, he doesn't anticipate being flung headlong into Ancient Egyptian secrets in "The Sacred Ark." An old acquaintance needs his help in his search for proof that his controversial theories are correct, theories which have resulted in him being ridiculed by the world of archaeology. Mike finds himself in the heart of the Sinai desert pursued by government and Vatican hit men, all desperate to find the same thing, the Ark of the Covenant. What secrets does it hide and where will it take him? Praise for Jan McDonald This is, without a doubt, the best Paranormal / Occult book I have read in a long time. This book has mystery, paranormal, occult, and a bit of romance all rolled into one book. The book is well written, easy to read, all parts of the book fit together nicely. The characters are well written, believable, and as far as the story will allow, well detailed. "Review from The Crowsmoor Curse" About Jan McDonald Jan lives close to the Welsh borders which have their own mystical quality and provide endless resources in the way of legends and folklore surrounding paranormal experiences. She loves all things paranormal and has read the best: Dennis Wheatley, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and all those authors that excel in the creepy or downright scary world of paranormal events. When she embarked on the Mike Travis series ("The Crowsmoor Curse, Long Shadows" and "The Sacred Ark") she realised that the field of paranormal investigation is more than we see on the popular TV programmes. So in order to provide compelling ghost hunting tales but with the greatest accuracy, Jan trained as a Paranormal Investigator and has studied parapsychology.

Beth soon discovers the fear and superstition in Crowsmoor are well founded and together with Mike fights for her own sanity and her life.
