Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology

Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphology

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas they are of enormous importance to humans and understanding how they are shaped and change is crucial to our future. Introduction to Coastal Processes and Geomorphologybegins by discussing coastal systems and shows how these systems link to the processes examined in detail throughout the book. These include the morphodynamic paradigm tides waves and sediment transport. Later chapters explore fluvial deltas estuaries beaches and barriers coastal sand dunes and geologically-influenced coasts such as cliffs coral reefs and atolls. A new chapter addresses the forward-facing aspect of coastal morphodynamics including the ways in which coasts respond to rapid climate changes such as present day global warming. Also new to this second edition is a chapter on future coasts which considers the wider effects of coastal change on other important aspects of coastal systems including ecology management socio-cultural activities built and natural heritage and archaeology. Case studies using examples from around the world illustrate theory in practice and bring the subject to life. Each chapter starts by outlining the 'aims' and questions at the end allow you to track your progress.

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

The English Novel Volume II: Smollett to Austen collects a series of previously-published essays on the early eighteenth-century novel in a single volume reflecting the proliferation of theoretical approaches since the 1970s. The novel has been the object of some of the most exciting and important critical speculations and the eighteenth-century novel has been at the centre of new approaches both to the novel and to the period between 1750 and 1800. Richard Kroll's introduction seeks to frame the contributions by reference to the most significant critical discussions. These include: the general importance of 'sentimentalism' as a cultural movement after 1750; its relationship to the emergence of the Gothic novel as a specific genre or mode; the rapid rise in the number of women novelists in the later eighteenth century; the relationship between the novel as mediator of social relations and the idea of the 'public sphere'; the relationship between novelistic codes and the massive growth of a consumerist society; the class conflicts of writers like Smollett; the effect on the novel of the new 'British' nation; and the effects of the French Revolution and the subsequent political debates on writers like Wollstonecraft Godwin and Austen. This collection will be of interest to students of the later enlightenment and also to all who are interested in late eighteenth-century radicalism and the general relationship between literature history and politics. | English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

As fast-evolving technologies transform everyday communication and literacy practices many young children find themselves immersed in multiple digital media from birth. Such rapid technological change has consequences for the development of early literacy and the ways in which parents and educators are able to equip today’s young citizens for a digital future. This seminal Handbook fulfils an urgent need to consider how digital technologies are impacting the lives and learning of young children; and how childhood experiences of using digital resources can serve as the foundation for present and future development. Considering children aged 0–8 years chapters explore the diversity of young children’s literacy skills practices and expertise across digital tools technologies and media in varied contexts settings and countries. The Handbook explores six significant areas: Part I presents an overview of research into young children’s digital literacy practices touching on a range of theoretical methodological and ethical approaches. Part II considers young children’s reading writing and meaning-making when using digital media at home and in the wider community. Part III offers an overview of key challenges for early childhood education presented by digital literacy and discusses political positioning and curricula. Part IV focuses on the multimodal and multi-sensory textual landscape of contemporary literary practices and how children learn to read and write with and across media. Part V considers how digital technologies both influence and are influenced by children’s online and offline social relationships. Part VI draws together themes from across the Handbook to propose an agenda for future research into digital literacies in early childhood.

The Routledge Handbook of US Foreign Policy in the Indo-Pacific

The Routledge Handbook of US Foreign Policy in the Indo-Pacific

This handbook provides a comprehensive survey of US foreign policy throughout the Indo-Pacific. Home to around 60 percent of the world’s population; most of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies; around half of the world’s states with full nuclear capabilities; and a complicated web of unresolved tensions disputes and conflicts the Indo-Pacific is arguably the most diverse dynamic and contested region on Earth. US strategy there has evolved over centuries with its physical presence going broadly unchallenged since at least the middle of the last century. However the rapid development and expanding influence of China – alongside the growth of India Indonesia Vietnam the Philippines and others – as well as political and economic crises and disruptions within the United States itself mean that in recent times the US has come to occupy a newly uncertain position and perceive a range of highly unfamiliar challenges. To explore how the US has managed and continues to manage its regional history and how it approaches the modern-day landscape of an Indo-Pacific only recently normalised within international political discourse the book contains 33 newly commissioned chapters from leading experts in the field. It does so partly with help from the more traditional realms of International Relations theory as well as more critical realms. It also unpacks US policy and strategy as it pertains to regional governments states and multilateral institutions as well as to pressing issues including inter-state security human rights trade artificial intelligence and cyber strategy. It does so in four parts: History of the US in the Indo-Pacific Theorising US Policy and Presence in the Indo-Pacific The US and Indo-Pacific States and Institutions The US and Indo-Pacific Issues The book is designed to be of interest to students and scholars of the US in the Indo-/Asia Pacific; the international relations of the Indo-/Asia Pacific; and US foreign policy. | The Routledge Handbook of US Foreign Policy in the Indo-Pacific
