This book examines the diversity of practice in regional research
and its contribution to local, national and global issues. Three
themes are advanced here: Place and change, Transition and
resilience, and Challenges for the future. Contributors embrace
frameworks of co-design and transdisciplinary practice to build
communities of practice in response to lived experience in regional
contexts. Their work highlights the strategic importance of a
regional focus at a time when global connectivity and mobility is
increasing and the complexity of 'wicked' problems demands more
than one approach or solution. Such complex problems require
nuanced, and at times 'bespoke' methodological approaches to better
understand and support not just regional adaptation, resilience and
transformation, but to manage all these things at a time when
change is everywhere.

The USA TODAY bestseller! Book 2 in The Psychic Detectives series
All homicide detective Dylan Collins wants is a few hours of
pleasure to take his mind off of the case haunting him. A serial
killer is stalking the streets of Charleston, SC - a killer who
calls himself The Grim Reaper. When the woman he'd just spent the
night with turns up and offers her services as a psychic consultant
on the case, his ardor quickly cools. Last thing he needs is to get
tangled up with a con artist. It doesn't take long for Dylan to
realize Alexandra King is the real deal - and the killer's next
target. Dylan's protective instincts battle his reluctance to get
too involved with a woman he isn't sure he can trust. As they get
closer to finding the killer, they also grow closer to one another,
but will Alexandra's secret agenda destroy their chance at
happiness - if the killer doesn't strike first?
Did she choose that?' Or, more normatively, 'Why would she choose
that?' This book critiques and offers an alternative to these
questions, which have traditionally framed law and policy
discussions circulating around controversial genderized practices.
It examines the simplicity and incompleteness of choice-based
rhetoric and of presumptions that women's conduct is shaped, in an
absolute way, either by choice or by coercion. This book develops
an analytical framework that aims to discern the meaning and value
that women may ascribe to morally ambiguous practices. An analysis
of law's approach to polygamy, surrogacy and sex work, particularly
in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, provides a basis for
evaluating the choice-coercion binary and for contemplating
alternate modes for assessing, from a law and policy standpoint,
the palatability of social practices that appear pernicious to
women. Weaving together interdisciplinary research, an innovative
analytical framework for assessing choices ostensibly harmful to
women, and a critique of the legal rules governing such choices,
this book bears relevance for students, scholars, practicing
jurists and policymakers seeking a richer understanding of conduct
that moves women to the margins of law and society.
