This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
provides an original and challenging analysis of one of the most
pressing social issues of our times: intergenerational inequality.
Based on recent mixed-method research, it explores the extent and
scope of generational divides through an up-to-date analysis of the
changing opportunities for young people in Britain across different
life domains. A central question addressed is whether current
changes are best understood as growing inequalities within and
across age groups, or whether we face a genuine intergenerational
decline over the life course of this and future generations of
youth. Andy Green's controversial manifesto for intergenerational
equity includes replacing higher education fees with a tax on
graduates of all ages; the introduction of capital gains tax on
sales of first homes; voting at 16, and a new charter of rights for
private tenants.
Modern agriculture faces many challenges, most crucially food
security and the need for sustainable farming systems. Decisions
and actions in the agricultural sector come from government and
stakeholder policies and on-farm decision-making. This
comprehensive monograph provides a perspective on the current state
of agri-environmental management in Europe from both a policy and
practical perspective. Some of the issues in agriculture discussed
are climate change and air pollution, biodiversity, water use and
quality, pesticides, pathogens, flooding and drought, energy
resources, land use, soil composition, nutrients, livestock,
cropping, habitat management and cultural considerations. These
important issues form the framework of the book, with each issue
discussed in the context of its history, and asking the questions
'why is it an issue', 'what is the current scientific understanding
regarding it' and 'how has policy shaped it'. The book takes an
integrated approach by not just examining these issues separately,
but examining the whole system in which these problems are
manifested. At the end, technologies and solutions which are
currently being developed and could be used in the future are
discussed and the horizon scanned for future environmental
challenges. Agri-environmental Management in Europe is an
authoritative source for both undergraduate and post-graduate
studies that consider the agri-environmental challenges society
faces.

A major contribution to current debates about the future of skill formation in a context of economic globalization, rapid technological innovation, and change within education, training, and the labour market. It represents a major theoretical advance in its holistic approach to the political economy of high skills, and has implications that stand at the core of firm strategies and government policy in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Creative input is inevitably required of the PR practitioner and
yet there is a lack of real understanding of the mechanics of the
processes involved. "Creativity in Public Relations" seeks to
address this situation and explores: the five 'Is' of the creative
process; techniques for stimulating ideas; brainstorming;
evaluating ideas; obstacles to creativity; the creative individual;
the creative organization. There are practical examples and
research carried out by those in the PR industry who are regarded
by their peers as 'creative'. The reader is guided through methods
of using and managing a range of techniques and tips to generate
creative ideas, as described by the five 'Is' of the creative
process: information, incubation, illumination, integration and
illustration. By clearly establishing a definition of 'creativity',
this third edition will help PR practitioners and general readers
to get 'under the skin' of the creative process and use it to
greater effect in their work.
