This volume provides a close look at the ways in which LGBTQ2
people form familial bonds. It brings together stories from
non-binary families across continents and cultures and recenters
care as a foundational value for creating familial ties. This
volume therefore addresses a gap in the literature concerning
non-binary family configurations by going beyond the legal battle
for non-binary partnership rights. In recent discussions on
marriage equality, the notion of familial bonds, which was
important in early discussions on non-binary family research, has
been decentered in favor of legal and homonormative understandings
of individual rights. This volume centers familial bonds as the
first step toward reimagining how to do research on the family and
adds to research on family studies as well as gender studies.
Students and researchers of sociology, anthropology, social work,
gender studies, family research, well-being research, and anyone
else working on or with non-binary families will find this book
highly topical and interesting.
This book critically engages with how the conservation of tropical
coral reefs is financed. Beginning with the context of tropical
coral reef degradation and loss, alongside an overview of tropical
ecology, global environmental policy and finance, the book reviews
several conservation financing instruments. These include
ecotourism, debt-for-nature swaps, impact investments, and
government domestic budgetary expenditures. From the Great Barrier
Reef, to the Coral Triangle, to the Mesoamerican Reef, tropical
coral reef degradation and loss are serious global environmental
issues, contributing to loss revenue and food insecurity for
coastal communities, and species extinction. Yet, many leading
companies, individuals, and governments are making a positive
impact on tropical coral reef conservation through the use of
conservation finance. Conservation of Tropical Coral Reefs, using
30 case studies which span 23 countries and 6 continents, tells the
history of international conservation finance and provides a
variety of options for individuals, businesses, and governments to
support conservation financing projects.
This book investigates morpho-syntactic convergences that
characterize the languages of the Balkan Sprachbund: Balkan Slavic,
Greek, Romanian, Albanian, Balkan Romani. Apart from new data, the
volume features contributions within different theoretical
frameworks (contact linguistics, functional linguistics, typology,
areal linguistics, and generative grammar).
This book presents the most comprehensive coverage of the field of
Indo-European Linguistics in a century, focusing on the entire
Indo-European family and treating each major branch and most minor
languages. The collaborative work of 120 scholars from 22
countries, Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European
Linguistics combines the exhaustive coverage of an encyclopedia
with the in-depth treatment of individual monographic studies.
This book critically engages with how the conservation of tropical
rainforests is financed. Beginning with the context of tropical
deforestation, alongside an overview of tropical ecology, global
environmental policy and finance, the book reviews several
conservation financing instruments. These include ecotourism and
private reserves, debt-for-nature swaps and government domestic
budgetary expenditures for state and national parks. Tropical
deforestation and forest degradation are serious global
environmental issues, contributing to global climate change,
species extinction, and threatening the livelihoods of
forest-dependent communities. Yet, many leading companies,
individuals and governments are making a positive impact on
tropical forest conservation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions
through the use of conservation finance. Conservation of Tropical
Rainforests tells the history of international conservation finance
and provides a variety of options for individuals, businesses, and
governments to support conservation financing projects.

This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the correlates
and consequences of residential relocation. Drawing on multiple
nationally representative data sets, the book explores historic
patterns and current trends in household mobility; individuals'
mobility-related decisions; and the individual, family, and
community outcomes associated with moving. These sections inform
later discussions of mobility-related policy, practice, and
directions for future research.
