Examining fisheries, Brexit, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement
(TCA) and its consequences for the Fishing Industry in the UK and
the EU, this book explores key issues within the complex topic of
fisheries after Brexit. Assessing the new fishing relationship
between the UK and the EU, which will continue to develop over the
next decade, it provides an important study of the state of
fisheries post-Brexit. Taking a cross-cutting economic, legal and
policy approach, the book outlines the social and economic impacts
of Brexit on the UK and EU fishing industries. It critically
analyses the provisions relevant to fisheries in the TCA, reflects
on the bilateral fishing negotiations between the EU, UK and
Norway, providing inferences as to what the "new and special
relationship" might be in fisheries. It then focuses on the 2020
Fisheries Act and explores internal divergences in the nations of
the UK because of devolution. Taking an international approach, the
work offers an exploration of cooperation in fisheries enforcement,
international and regional obligations in marine conservation, and
the new horizons for the UK in international fisheries
organizations and arrangements now it is no longer a member of the
EU. It offers an overview of expert opinion on fisheries
post-Brexit, highlighting lessons learned and future developments
for fisheries in a post-Brexit world. Having finally signed the
Trade and Cooperation Agreement on 31 December 2020 after tense
negotiations, the United Kingdom and European Union have found
themselves in a new fisheries relationship. This book maps the
complex social, economic, legal and policy issues of fisheries in a
post-Brexit world and will be of interest to stakeholders and
scholars.

This reissued biography of Adam Smith, first published in 1982,
presents both an intellectual and personal portrait of the man. It
is not intended as a full-scale scholarly biography burdened with
heavy footnotes. Although written by two of the world's foremost
authorities on Adam Smith, the book is intended as an accessible
study of a great thinker and philosopher which will help to
introduce the reader to both his ideas and his period.
This volume explores options for a sustainable maritime domain,
including maritime transportation, such as, Maritime Spatial
Planning (MSP), maritime education and training, maritime traffic
and advisory systems, maritime security. Other activities in the
maritime domain covered in the book include small-scale fisheries
and sustainable fisheries, and greening the blue economy. The book
aims to provide the building blocks needed for a framework for good
ocean governance; a framework that will serve through the next
decade and, and hopefully, well beyond the 2030 milepost of the UN
Agenda for Sustainable Development. In short, this book brings
together the problems of the current world and sustainable
solutions that are in the development process and will eventually
materialize in the not so distant future. Additionally, the book
presents a trans-disciplinary analysis of integral sustainable
maritime transportation solutions and crucial issues relevant to
good ocean governance that have recently been discussed at
different national, regional and international fora, highlighting
ongoing work to develop and support governance systems that
facilitate industry requirements, and meet the needs of coastal
states and indigenous peoples, of researchers, of spatial planners,
and of other sectors dependent on the oceans. The book will be of
interest to researchers across many disciplines, especially those
that are engaged in cross-sectoral research and developments in the
maritime transport sector and across the wider maritime domain. To
this end, the book covers areas including natural and social
sciences, geographical studies, spatial planning, maritime security
and gender studies, as they relate to transport and the wider
maritime sector. In addition, the book explores frameworks for
sustainable ocean governance being developed under the UN's Agenda
for Sustainable Development to 2030. It will also look beyond the
2030 milepost under that Agenda, and will be of use to national and
international policymakers and practitioners, government actors at
the EU and other regional and national levels and to researchers of
ocean governance, sustainability and management, and maritime
transport.

This book traces the development of coping from birth to emerging
adulthood by building a conceptual and empirical bridge between
coping and the development of regulation and resilience. It offers
a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing the developmental
study of coping, including the history of the concept, critiques of
current coping theories and research, and reviews of age
differences and changes in coping during childhood and adolescence.
It integrates multiple strands of cutting-edge theory and research,
including work on the development of stress neurophysiology,
attachment, emotion regulation, and executive functions. In
addition, chapters track how coping develops, starting from birth
and following its progress across multiple qualitative shifts
during childhood and adolescence. The book identifies factors that
shape the development of coping, focusing on the effects of
underlying neurobiological changes, social relationships, and
stressful experiences. Qualitative shifts are emphasized and
explanatory factors highlight multiple entry points for the
diagnosis of problems and implementation of remedial and preventive
interventions. Topics featured in this text include: Developmental
conceptualizations of coping, such as action regulation under
stress. Neurophysiological developments that underlie age-related
shifts in coping. How coping is shaped by early adversity,
temperament, and attachment. How parenting and family factors
affect the development of coping. The role of coping in the
development of psychopathology and resilience. The Development of
Coping is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and
graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals
in developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, public
health, counseling, personality and social psychology, and
neurophysiological psychology as well as prevention and
intervention science.

This innovative textbook takes advanced undergraduate and graduate
students "behind the curtain" of standard developmental science, so
they can begin to appreciate the generative value and
methodological challenges of a lifespan developmental systems
perspective. It envisions applied developmental science as focused
on ways to use knowledge about human development to help solve
societal problems in real-life contexts, and considers applied
developmental research to be purpose driven, field based, community
engaged, and oriented toward efforts to optimize development. Based
on the authors' more than 25 years of teaching, this text is
designed to help researchers and their students intentionally
create a cooperative learning community, full of arguments, doubts,
and insights, that can facilitate their own internal paradigm
shifts, one student at a time. With the aid of extensive online
supplementary materials, students of developmental psychology as
well as students in other psychological subdisciplines (such as
industrial-organizational, social, and community psychology) and
applied professions that rely on developmental training (such as
education, social work, counseling, nursing, health care, and
business) will find this to be an invaluable guidebook and toolbox
for conceptualizing and studying applied problems from a lifespan
developmental systems perspective.
This first-of-its-kind incisive and interdisciplinary volume spears
through law and governance implications in relation to maritime
autonomous surface ships (MASS). The book focuses on a wide array
of timely, topical and thorny issues under four distinct parts:
setting the scene; naval warfare and security; safety,
seaworthiness and techno-regulatory assessments; global
environmental change; autonomous passenger transportation;
liability and insurance; selected national and regional
developments; and tying the threads. Thus, the main themes will
stress on topics including evolution, environment, safety and
security, society, insurance, liability, human element, design
solutions and procedures, and selected national case studies. At
the outset, the book commences with an insight into the role of
innovation-diplomacy as the driving force that could expedite the
transition from autonomation to autonomy, and a commentary from the
Chair of IMO's MASS. After navigating through the complex law and
governance landscape, the book concludes with a chapter that
captures the essence of the paradigm shift and ties all critical
findings for further consideration.Chapter 11 and Chapter 18 are

First published in 1776, the year in which the American Revolution
officially began, Smith's "Wealth of Nations" sparked a revolution
of its own. In it Smith analyzes the major elements of political
economy, from market pricing and the division of labor to monetary,
tax, trade, and other government policies that affect economic
behavior. Throughout he offers seminal arguments for free trade,
free markets, and limited government. Criticising mercantilists who
sought to use the state to increase their nations' supply of
precious metals, Smith points out that a nation's wealth should be
measured by the well-being of its people.Prosperity in turn
requires voluntary exchange of goods in a peaceful, well-ordered
market. How to establish and maintain such markets? For Smith the
answer lay in man's social instincts, which government may
encourage by upholding social standards of decency, honesty, and
virtue, but which government undermines when it unduly interferes
with the intrinsically private functions of production and
exchange. Social and economic order arise from the natural desires
to better one's (and one's family's) lot and to gain the praise and
avoid the censure of one's neighbors and business associates.
Individuals behave decently and honestly because it gives them a
clear conscience as well as the good reputation necessary for
public approbation and sustained, profitable business relations.
Despite broad interest in how children and youth cope with stress
and how others can support their coping, this is the first Handbook
to consolidate the many theories and large bodies of research that
contribute to the study of the development of coping. The
Handbook's goal is field building - it brings together theory and
research from across the spectrum of psychological, developmental,
and related sciences to inform our understanding of coping and its
development across the lifespan. Hence, it is of interest not only
to psychologists, but also to neuroscientists, sociologists, and
public health experts. Moreover, work on stress and coping touches
many areas of applied social science, including prevention and
intervention science, education, clinical practice, and youth
development, making this Handbook a vital interdisciplinary
resource for parents, teachers, clinical practitioners, social
workers, and anyone interested in improving the lives of children.
Everything you always wanted to know about theories, meta-theories,
methods, and interventions but didn't realize you needed to ask.

A middle grade paranormal adventure from author Sharon Skinner (The
Nelig Stones, The Healer's Legacy) "Something hissed and a wet
chill wrapped around Mirabella's wrist and crawled toward her
shoulder. She whipped around and glimpsed the outline of someone
sitting on the edge of her bed. But as she stared, the image faded
to a blur." When twelve-year old Mirabella and her mother move into
Great Aunt Clovinia's old house, Mirabella discovers they aren't
the only ones living there. A mysterious faded specter haunts the
place. When the house is scheduled for demolition, Mirabella must
unravel the mystery of the ghost's identity, and free it from the
old house before it's too late.
