The current geography of north-west Europe, from the perspective of
long-term Pleistocene climate change, is temporary. The seaways
that separate southern Britain from northern France comprise a
flooded landscape open to occupation by hunter-gatherers for large
parts of the 0.5 million years since the English Channel’s
formation. While much of this record is now inaccessible to
systematic archaeological investigation it is critical that we
consider past human societies in the region in terms of access to,
inhabitation in, and exploitation of this landscape. This latest
volume of the acclaimed Prehistoric Society Research Papers
provides a starting point for approaching the Middle Palaeolithic
record of the English Channel region and considering the ecological
opportunities and behavioural constraints this landscape offered to
Neanderthal groups in north-west Europe. The volume reviews the
Middle Palaeolithic archaeological record along the fringes of La
Manche in northern France and southern Britain. It examines this
record in light of recent advances in quaternary stratigraphy,
science-based dating, and palaeoecology and explores how
Palaeolithic archaeology in the region has developed in an
interdisciplinary way to transform our understanding of Neanderthal
behaviour. Focusing in detail on a particular sub-region of this
landscape, the Normano-Breton Gulf, the volume presents the results
of recent research focused on exceptionally productive coastal
capture points for Neanderthal archaeology. In turn the long-term
behavioural record of La Cotte de St Brelade is presented and
explored, offering a key to changing Neanderthal behaviour. Aspects
of movement into and through these landscapes, changing
technological and raw material procurement strategies, hunting
patterns and site structures, are presented as accessible
behaviours that change at site and landscape scales in response to
changing climate, sea level and ecology over the last 250,000
years.

This monograph is concerned with understanding the behaviours and
land use practices associated with earlier Palaeolithic hominins in
Syria, through consideration of key archaeological assemblages from
two important regions: the Orontes and Euphrates Valleys. The focus
here is on three temporal bands - Earliest occupations (1.50 mya -
0.80 mya); the Lower Palaeolithic (800 kya - 350 kya); the Middle
Palaeolithic (350 kya - 50 kya. The areas of the Orontes and
Euphrates Valleys possess some of the most significant artefact
collections from Syria, and indeed, the wider Near East. This is
due to the fact that fluvial archives
At the grand old age of 41 Shaw, still playing veterans soccer,
suffered a routine hip injury which required invasive surgey for a
new hip. Shortly after the operation caused by a post operative
blood clot he suffered a massive stroke leaving him with paralysis
of the left side, loss of speech and partial blindness. Weather the
Storm is Shaw's account of how he dealt with the devastation of the
sudden and unexpected tempest, how he climbed back onto his feet
whilst the storm was raging and how he eventually managed to
negotiate his way back to normal life via a series of small
victories so that he could tell the world that a devastating life
event need not be an end to one's life but merely a punctuation

The United States, like many countries, depends heavily on science
and technology to maintain a robust economy and defend its
democracy. However, many scientists are nearing retirement, many
are returning to or remaining in their home countries (especially
since 9/11), and the number in the pipeline preparing to become
scientists is increasingly inadequate to sustain the necessary
technological growth. All too frequently, students choose early on
not to pursue a career in science, or they drop out along the way.
This qualitative study primarily investigates how high school
science-related experiences (e.g., personal relationships with
teachers, pedagogical practices, access to technology and other
support structures, and activities and internships) influenced some
practicing scientists to persist in their pursuit of a career in
science. It also sheds light on those practices and experiences
that impeded that pursuit. This is accomplished by interviewing and
surveying 32 practicing scientists about their science related
experiences growing up, especially as they related to their formal
high school education.
Jade is often thought of as something ancient and gathering dust in
museums, but in China it is a vibrant part of modern life. More
jade has been carved this century than in the rest of human history
combined. For Chinese people, jade represents everything that is
pure and noble, and Andrew Shaw gave up his life in England to
embrace it, and became the only foreign master jade carver in
China. Jade Life tells his story and also the story of jade itself.
His description of the jade industry today provides insights into
the hearts of Chinese people and also into how they have managed to
turn a backwater state into a world superpower in less than three
decades.
