The conflict between England and France in the 14th and 15th
centuries never ceases to fascinate. This stimulating edited
collection, inspired by the Problems in Focus volume originally
published in 1971, provides a fresh and accessible insight into the
key aspects of The Hundred Years War. With chapters written by
leading experts in the field, based on new methodologies and recent
advances in scholarship, this book places the Anglo-French wars
into a range of wider contexts, such as politics, the home front,
the church, and chivalry. Adopting a sustained comparative
approach, with attention paid to both England and France, The
Hundred Years War Revisited provides a clear and comprehensive
synthesis of the major trends in research on the Hundred Years War.
Concise and thought-provoking, this is essential reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate students of medieval history.
"I'm fat," I hear myself saying. I look in the mirror. My face has
gone hot and red; I feel like I'm going to explode. "I'm fat." It
sizzles under my skin, puffing me up, pushing me out, making me
massive.
Weight has always been a big issue in Carmen's life. How could
it not? Her mom is obsessed with the idea that thin equals
beautiful, thin equals successful, thin equals the way to get what
you want. Carmen knows that as far as her mom is concerned, there
is only one option: be thin.
When her mother sweeps her off to live in the city, Carmen finds
that her old world is disappearing. As her life spirals out of
control Carmen begins to take charge of the only thing she can --
what she eats. If she were thin, very thin, could it all be
different?
Many of the world's fisheries are in trouble - they no longer yield
the catches, and potential profits, they once did. The habitats
that support fisheries have been damaged by pollution and other
irresponsible use of coastal land. Destructive fishing methods like
trawling and blast fishing have also changed fish habitats
resulting in support of fewer fish.
The authors draw on more than 1000 scientific papers covering 11
groups/species of marine invertebrates. From this large literature,
they distill 20 lessons for assessing and guiding the use of
restocking and stock enhancement in the management of invertebrate
fisheries.
- Written by 7 expert authors
- Covers 11 groups/species of marine invertebrates
- Reviews over 1000 scientific papers
- Identifies 20 lessons that can be learned from past restocking
and stock enhancement initiatives
- Proposes a new approach to assess the potential value of hatchery
releases to
complement other forms of management
- Assesses progress of disciple against the blueprint for a
responsible approach

Age, Period and Cohort Effects: Statistical Analysis and the
Identification Problem gives a number of perspectives from top
methodologists and applied researchers on the best ways to attempt
to answer Age-Period-Cohort related questions about society.
Age-Period-Cohort (APC) analysis is a fundamental topic for any
quantitative social scientist studying individuals over time. At
the same time, it is also one of the most misunderstood and
underestimated topics in quantitative methods. As such, this book
is key reference material for researchers wanting to know how to
deal with APC issues appropriately in their statistical modelling.
It deals with the identification problem caused by the co-linearity
of the three variables, considers why some currently used methods
are problematic and suggests ideas for what applied researchers
interested in APC analysis should do. Whilst the perspectives are
varied, the book provides a unified view of the subject in a
reader-friendly way that will be accessible to social scientists
with a moderate level of quantitative understanding, across the
social and health sciences.
