A unique resource that describes the ingredients included in an
aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to
environment and industry, and more! Aquaculture is and will remain
a major food producing sector in the future. To become more
efficient and successful in the aquaculture industry, operations
need to provide good nutrition. Alternative Protein Sources in
Aquaculture Diets is a unique source describing the ingredients
included in fish and crustacean diets, their nutrient compositions,
species profiles, suitability for species, processing methods, and
impacts of alternative ingredients on the environment and to the
aquaculture industry. World-renowned nutritionists and feed
technologists explore practical ways for the aquaculture industry
to expand and remain competitive, and discuss ways to develop less
expensive alternative sources or protein. Diet costs take up a huge
chunk of operating expenditures, with fish meal being one of the
most expensive ingredients in the aquaculture diet. Alternative
Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets provides detailed knowledge on
the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering
opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal.
This comprehensive, up-to-date text discusses the most widely used
ingredients as well as various previously under-utilized
ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future.
The book is extensively referenced and includes numerous helpful
tables to clearly present data. Topics discussed in Alternative
Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets (for finfish and crustacean
species) include: * farmed fish diet requirements * reduction of
waste through diet formulation * poultry by-product meal * meat
packing by-products * soybean protein foodstuffs * cottonseed meal
* lupins * unconventional plant protein supplements * and much,
much more! Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is an
essential resource for aquaculturists, nutritionists, feed
formulators, feed mill operators, extension specialists, fish
farmers and producers, ingredient suppliers, and policymakers.
Originally published in 1982, this book covers the unique spatial
structure of society which was South Africa under apartheid. It
brings together a cohesive set of research-based contributions to
the understanding of this system which was without contemporary
parallels. The book considers issues such as industrial location
and migrant labour at a national scale. The case studies, which are
fully illustrated, deal with problems associated with work and
housing for blacks, set in the 3 major metropolitan areas of Cape
Town, the Witwatersrand and Durban. Of particular importance is the
emphasis given to so-called ‘spontaneous’ (or ‘squatter’)
settlement and to informal-sector work for blacks in the emerging
apartheid city – something which links directly with central
issues of development studies.

This specially commissioned volume of original essays, first
published in 1990, provides a unique view of conflict, territorial
behaviour and reconciliation between groups - social, racial,
religious and nationalist - within states in both the developed and
the developing worlds. The volume as a whole shows the wide range
of geographical solutions which have been adopted in attempts to
limit conflict and foster stability. This title underlines the
importance of a geographical perspective on intergroup conflict and
reconciliation, and provides a broad range of real-world experience
in carefully chosen case studies. Shared Space: Divided Space will
be of interest students of the social sciences as well as to
general readers, who will find this title to be accessible and

Combining historical and policy study with empirical research from
a qualitative study of regional elites this book offers an original
and timely insight into the progress of devolution of governance in
England. With particular interest in how governments have tried and
continue to engage English people in sub-national democratic
processes while dealing with the realities of governance it uses
in-depth interviews with key figures from three English regions to
get the 'inside view' of how these processes are seen by the
regional and local political, administrative, business and
voluntary sector elites who have to make policies work in practice.
Tracing the development of decentralisation policies through
regional policies up to and including the general election in 2010
and the radical shift away from regionalism to localism by the new
Coalition Government thereafter the authors look in detail at some
of the key policies of the incumbent Coalition Government such as
City Regions and Localism and their implementation. Finally they
consider the implications of the existing situation and speculate
on possible issues for the future.
This book represents a landmark exploration of the common terrain of geography and ethics. Drawing together specially commissioned contributions from distinguished geographers across the UK, North America and Australasia, the place of geography in ethics and of ethics in geography is examined through wide-ranging, thematic chapters. Geography and Ethics is divided into four sections for discussion and exploration of ideas: Ethics and Space; Ethics and Place; Ethics and Nature and Ethics and knowledge, all of which point to the rich interplay between geography and moral philosophy or ethics.

A study of apartheid and the changes which have taken place in
South Africa since 1981. The author argues that vested interests
and ideologies existing behind the pattern of property ownership
survive the abolition of apartheid laws and that beyond race, class
and ethnicity continue to divide urban life. Apartheid as
legislated racial separation substantially changed the South
African urban scene. Race "group areas" remodelled the cities,
while the creation of "homelands" mini-states and the "pass laws"
controlling population migration constrained urbanization itself.
In the mid-1980s the old system - having proved economically
inefficient and politically divisive - was replaced by a new policy
of "orderly urbanization". This sought to accelerate
industrialization and cultural change by relaxing the constraints
on urbanization imposed by state planning. The result was further
political instability and quarter of the black (or African)
population housed in shanty towns. Negotiations between the
Nationalist government and the African National Congress are
working towards the end of the old apartheid system. Yet the
negation of apartheid is only the beginning of the creation of a
new
This original and timely text is the first published research from
the UK to address the neglected topic of the increasing (and
largely enforced) settlement of Gypsies and Travellers in
conventional housing. It highlights the complex and emergent
tensions and dynamics inherent when policy and popular discourse
combine to frame ethnic populations within a narrative of movement.
The authors have extensive knowledge of the communities and
experience as policy practitioners and researchers and consider the
changing culture and dynamics experienced by ethnic Gypsies and
Travellers. They explore the gendered social, health and economic
impacts of settlement and demonstrate the tenacity of cultural
formations and their adaptability in the face of policy-driven
constraints that are antithetical to traditional lifestyles. The
groundbreaking book is essential reading for policy makers;
professionals and practitioners working with housed Gypsies and
Travellers. It will also be of interest to sociologists,
anthropologists, social policy and housing specialists and anybody
interested in the experiences and responses of marginalized
communities in urban and rural settings. Royalties for this book
are to be divided equally between the Gypsy Council and Travellers
Aid Trust.
Originally published in 2008, this final volume of the Heads of
Religious Houses: England and Wales series takes the lists of
monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic
houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering
six hundred years of monastic history. In addition to surviving
monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by
episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court
records, private, family and estate collections. Full references
are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of
each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are
arranged by order: the Benedictine houses; the Cluniacs; the
Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian
canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the
Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An introduction
discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically
the sources on which they are based.

Apartheid, as legislated racial separation, brought dramatic change
to the South African urban scene. Race "group areas" remodelled
South African cities, while the creation of "homelands,"
mini-states, and the "pass laws" controlling population migration
constrained the process of urbanization itself.
In the mid 1980s, the old system was replaced by a new policy of
"orderly urbanization," intended to accelerate the process of
industrialization and cultural change by relaxing the constraints
on urbanization imposed by state planning. The result was hardly an
improvement: political instability rose, and a quarter of the black
population were being housed in shanty towns. Today, negotiations
between the nationalist government and the African National
Congress are working to dissolve the old apartheid system. Yet the
end of apartheid will only be the beginning of the creation of a
new society.
"The Apartheid City and Beyond" contains a series of original
contributions on apartheid as it affected housing, community life,
settlement forms, and the servicing of the cities. Ranging from
broad overviews of particular issues to local case studies, the
contributors turn away from a past that is best forgotten,
explaining how the cities of South Africa came to be as they are:
the locus of people's present lives and a major constraint on urban
forms.
Looking ahead to the post-apartheid city, they show that if the
cities of South Africa are to serve the people as a whole, the
accelerating process of urbanization must be brought under control
and harnessed to a new purpose.
On the Margins of Inclusion starts from the premise that
understanding the nature of contemporary work and exclusion from
employment is central to understanding the experience of social
exclusion in our society today. Through close ethnographic study of
people living on a South London housing estate, the book highlights
collective strategies and responses to labor market and welfare
changes, and considers how these responses can, in themselves,
contribute to patterns of community-based exclusion. The book
provides a compelling and vivid portrait of lives at the insecure,
low-paid end of the labor market, and offers a fascinating account
of how different groups of economically marginal people have
adapted to, and negotiate, the offerings of a post-industrial labor
market and a welfare system geared towards reintegrating them into
formal employment.

The diocese of Lincoln was the largest in medieval England,
extending over nine counties, and the early thirteenth century saw
considerable development in episcopal government and evident
concern over Church reform in the aftermath of the Fourth Lateran
Council of 1215. Hugh of Wells brought to his diocese his
experience as a royal official in the chancery of King John, and
his tenure of the see was marked by transition and innovation, with
particular emphasis on pastoral responsibilities at local level.
This edition of his collected acta - over 450 - assembled from
cathedral, monastic, and governmental archives, supplements the
surviving summary enrolments and reveals Hugh as an active and
innovative diocesan at an important point in the history of the
English Church.DAVID M. SMITH is Director of the Borthwick
