This book re-considers property law for a future of environmental
disruption. As slogans such as "build the wall" or "stop the boats"
affect public policy, there are counter-questions as to whether
positivist or statist notions of property are fit for purpose in a
time of human mobility and environmental disruption. State-centric
property laws construct legal fictions of sovereign control over
land, notwithstanding the persistent reality of informal
settlements in many parts of the Global South. In a world affected
by catastrophic disasters, this book develops a vision of adaptive
governance for property in land based on a critical re-assessment
of state-centric property law. This book will appeal to a broad
readership with interests in legal theory, property law, adaptive
governance, international development, refugee studies,
postcolonial studies, and natural disasters.

Peace-building in a number of contemporary contexts involves
fragile states, influential customary systems and histories of land
conflict arising from mass population displacement. This book is a
timely response to the increased international focus on
peace-building problems arising from population displacement and
post-conflict state fragility. It considers the relationship
between property and resilient customary systems in
conflict-affected East Timor. The chapters include micro-studies of
customary land and population displacement during the periods of
Portuguese colonization and Indonesian military occupation. There
is also analysis of the development of laws relating to customary
land in independent East Timor (Timor Leste). The book fills a gap
in socio-legal literature on property, custom and peace-building
and is of interest to property scholars, anthropologists, and
academics and practitioners in the emerging field of peace and
conflict studies.

This book explores the discourse of regulatory crisis in the UK and
examines why, despite the increasing contestation of the principles
underpinning the regulatory state, its institutions and practices
continue to be firmly embedded within the governance of the British
state. It considers its implications for our understanding of the
contemporary nature of the British state, and to the study of
regulation which is no longer confined to the domain of low
politics, populated by technocrats, but is scrutinised by elected
politicians, and the subject of the front pages rather than the
financial pages. The author sets the British regulatory tradition
in a wider context, both spatially, in terms of the challenges
presented by Europeanisation, and temporally, critically analysing
the process of crisis construction in the narratives of
neoliberalism and participatory democracy in the contemporary era.
Are you interested in a three-dimensional approach to helping your
high school physics students learn the practices of science,
including constructing explanations and engaging in argument from
evidence? By using argument-driven inquiry (ADI) for high school
physics lab instruction, you can do just that. Student Lab Manual
for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 2 provides the lab
safety information and student materials you need to guide your
students through the investigations in the teacher book,
Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 2. The manual contains a
well-organized series of 17 field-tested labs that are designed to
be much more authentic for instruction than traditional laboratory
activities. The labs cover a variety of topics, including
electrostatics; electric current, capacitors, resistors, and
circuits; and magnetic fields and electromagnetism. Introduction
labs acquaint students with new content. Application labs encourage
deeper exploration of the use of a theory, law, or unifying
concept. ADI in Physics, Volume 2 is a follow-up to ADI in Physics,
Volume 1: Mechanics Lab Investigations for Grades 9–12. Both are
part of the NSTA Press series for ADI in biology, chemistry, Earth
and space science, life science, and physical science. The labs
also support three-dimensional instruction, helping students learn
the science practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas found
in the Next Generation Science Standards. The labs also support
student learning of standards in both algebra- and calculus-based
AP Physics courses. In addition, they offer ways for students to
develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State
Standards. Many of today’s high school teachers—like you—are
seeking new ways to engage students in science practices and help
students learn more from lab activities. ADI in Physics, Volume 2
and its companion lab manual do all of this while also giving your
students the chance to practice reading, writing, speaking, and
using math in the context of science.
Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry for high school
lab instruction but just aren't sure how to do it? Argument-Driven
Inquiry in Physics, Volume 1 is a one-stop source of expertise,
advice, and investigations to help physics students work the way
scientists do. The book includes a well-organized series of 23
field-tested labs that cover a variety of topics related to
mechanics, including forces and interactions, energy, work, and
power. You can use the introduction labs to acquaint students with
new content or the application labs for deeper exploration of the
use of a theory, law, or unifying concept. The labs will also help
your students learn the science practices, crosscutting concepts,
and core ideas found in the Next Generation Science Standards and
develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State
Standards. Student Lab Manual for Argument-Driven Inquiry in
Physics, Volume 1 provides the student materials you need to guide
your students through these investigations. With lab details,
safety information, and handouts, your students will be ready to
start investigating.
