The debates on regionalism have been polarized between European
Union (EU) scholars and non-EU scholars, with the assumption being
that regionalism within the EU and other regions of the world are
quite distinct, with little to be learnt from dialogue with each
other. This book challenges such assumptions and calls for a
genuine debate between scholars of regionalism. This book
demonstrates that more can and needs to be learned about regional
integration all over the world through comparison and reflection on
specific regional trends. Beginning with a theoretically driven
introduction, leading experts in the field are brought together to
offer a series of case studies on regional integration within Latin
America, Africa, Asia, North America and Europe. In Part III the
authors investigate the links between the EU and selected other
regional organisations and processes, exploring the dynamics
through which these interregional relations are developing and the
implications they have for the study of contemporary
regionalism/regionalisation both inside and beyond the continent of
Europe. The conclusions set out a challenging research agenda for
comparative studies in the field. Addressing one of the
under-explored aspects of EU studies, the EU's coexistence with
other pan-continental/regional organisations in the European
continent, this book will be of interest to students and scholars
of regionalism, IPE, European Studies and international politics.

Fourth instalment in the blockbusting dinosaur series. 22 years
after the events of 'Jurassic Park' (1993), Isla Nublar, located
off the Pacific Coast of Central America, has been reopened as a
dinosaur theme park. In order to boost attendance, operations
manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) asks the park's
geneticists to create genetically modified hybrid dinosaurs - the
latest product of their experimentation being the Indominus rex.
But when the Indominus rex escapes and begins killing other
dinosaurs for sport, it's left to park staff member and behavioural
researcher Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) to clean up the mess. The
supporting cast includes Vincent D'Onofrio, Jake Johnson, Nick
Robinson, Ty Simpkins and Irrfan Khan.

Journalism has the vital function to defend and promote truth in
public discourse. And yet, at a time when seeking and finding the
truth is at a premium, journalism has never been under so much
pressure to move away from this critical role into more partial
campaigns or commercial public relations exercises. In The Power of
Journalists four of the UK's foremost journalists - Nick Robinson,
Barbara Speed, Charlie Beckett and Gary Gibbon - introduce us to
the role of the journalist as truth-teller and protector of
impartiality as well as interpreter of controversial facts and
trusted source of public opinion. The authors draw from their own
fieldwork - including coverage of the Scottish independence
referendum and the Brexit campaigns - to reflect on the necessity
of maintaining an impartial and independent public information
service and protecting quality information from the mounting
pressure exerted by political parties and the business world. The
role of new technology is also taken into consideration. While the
explosion of social media has generated trends that threaten good
quality journalism and contribute to the collapse of its
traditional business model, the information silos caused by
algorithms are simultaneously threatening democratic understanding
and undermining the adequacy and effectiveness of journalism. The
Power of Journalists is a mindful, rigorous and discerning
examination of the role of journalism today and the reasons why
journalists are conventionally regarded as powerful and tied to the
establishment, yet often feel anything but.

Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The
Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text
on landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains
one of the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect
and educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished
plantsman, and which deals with the application of planting design
on a large scale in landscape architecture and urban design
projects. The Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its
elegant integration of an ecological approach with an understanding
of visual and spatial composition. It emphasizes the role of
vegetation layers and designed plant communities in complex and
diverse plant assemblages for all kinds of sites and uses. This
expanded and comprehensively updated third edition still provides a
complete examination of principles and practice of design for
public, institutional and private landscapes. It takes account of
developments in theory and practice, especially in the use of
perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches current
in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been
revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new
references have been added. Many new photographs of planting and
projects around the world have been included, with examples of
current professional drawings to illustrate the design process. It
is generously illustrated, including a colour section and the
beautifully detailed line drawings of the Chinese architect and
painter Jia-Hua Wu.
