The authors explain the geological foundations of the landscape and the raw materials it provides. They show how this geology has been made use of by society and by individuals in creative acts of the imagination. The reader will discover how regional environments and interests have been tackled by geologists in endeavours as diverse as mining, quarrying, architecture, literature and the visual arts. This is a book which puts a modern interpretation of the geological history of Britain into its historic, social and artistic contexts. 978-1-78046-060-4 HB 2016 c.332pp £24.99/€35.00/US$40.00 FEBRUARY Volcanoes of Europe  (Second edition) Dougal Jerram, Alwyn Scarth and Jean-Claude Tanguy This thoroughly revised and updated edition reflects modern research and is now illustrated in colour throughout. It presents the volcanoes of Europe, as they are today and tells how they have shaped our past. The volcanic systems of the Mediterranean basin, the Atlantic, and of mainland Europe are introduced and described in clear prose with a minimum of technical jargon. 978-1-78046-054-3 HB 2016 c.288pp col. illus. £60.00/€72.00/US$80.00 978-1-78046-042-0 PB 2016 c.288pp col. illus. £29.99/€42.00/US$45.00 MAY Terrestrial Conservation Lagerstätten  Edited by Nicholas Fraser & Hans-Dieter Sues Evolutionary biologists have long been concerned by the incompleteness of the fossil record. Although our knowledge of the diversity of life in ‘deep time’ has improved, many lineages of extant animals and plants still have only sparse fossil documentation. Even groups with ‘hard parts’ that render them suitable for fossilization often only have a limited record. Thus, although the fossil record is viewed as critical to the reconstruction of the evolutionary history of life, many biologists question its utility. Fortunately discoveries of occurrences of exceptionally preserved fossils, known as conservation Lagerstätten (Konservat- Lagerstätten), shed much light on the past diversity of life. This volume reviews selected conservation Lagerstätten for terrestrial animals and plants throughout the Phanerozoic worldwide and includes sites in Asia, Europe and North and South America. Each chapter is as comprehensive as possible. The volume is edited by Nicholas C. Fraser of the National Museum of Scotland and Hans-Dieter Sues of the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Contents: Introduction to conservation Lagerstätten; 1. Rhynie Chert (Early Devonian, Scotland); 2. East Kirkton (Early Carboniferous, Scotland); 3. Madygen Formation (Middle or Late Triassic, Kyrgyzstan); 4. Solite Quarry (Late Triassic, USA); 5. Daohugou Biota (Late Jurassic, Inner Mongolia); 6. Jehol Group (Early Cretaceous, China); 7.

What are their views about the child protection system? How can we measure if we have made a difference in ending violence against children? These questions and others are at the forefront of policy, practice and research debates internationally. This book explores the ethical, methodological, and practical challenges in conducting child protection research with deaf and disabled children and young people. This edited volume draws upon examples of research and translating research to policy and practice from international leaders in both child protection and disability fields. 978-1-78046-050-5 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 MAY Housing and Housing Management: Balancing the two key contracts  Nigel Sprigings Policy & Practice in Health and Social Care (No. 23) Housing been described as the “wobbly pillar” of the welfare state on account of it never achieving universal coverage as did health and education. This does not diminish its importance for individuals, households, communities and social stability. Adequate and affordable housing provision is one of the key elements of a functioning democracy. Often characterised as the routine undertaking of simple tasks, housing management never established itself as a key profession in the public sector during the twentieth century. The author challenges that characterisation of housing management by arguing that, from its inception, ‘housing management’ involves complex tasks. 978-1-78046-061-1 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 MAY Socialising Transgender: Support in transition  Kate Norman Policy & Practice in Health and Social Care (No. 25) The author seeks to counterbalance the prevailing medicalised approach to statutory support for transgender people which tends to focus on the physical processes of transition rather than on subsequent social role adjustment. The book explores the potential for improved social support to transgender people and also to partners, children and other family members. It concludes by proposing a combination of advocacy and social care support to further the legal and social status of transgender people. 978-1-78046-065-9 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 JUNE Coal Mining in the East Neuk of Fife John McManus Coal-mining provided a crucial driver to industrial development in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland, from medieval times until the late twentieth century. In the early days of the industry, the coals were recovered on the shoreline or from valley slopes, where their excavation was relatively simple. As the easily accessible seams were exhausted it became necessary to dig deeper and thus a need for a detailed understanding of the rocks beneath the surface became essential. John McManus surveys the geology and social history of the mines in the East Neuk and of the people who explored, owned and laboured in the area. Coal-mining in the East Neuk was an industry which began many centuries ago, flourished all too briefly and ultimately declined. 978-1-78046-072-7 HB c.256pp col. illus. £24.99/ €38.00/ US$40.00 4 D U N E D I N JUNE Excursion Guide to the Geomorphology of the Howgill Fells  Adrian Harvey The Howgill Fells in Cumbria, represent one of the most erosionally active landscapes in Britain. The Holocene sequence of hillslope gully erosion, alluvial fan deposition, and stream terrace aggradation and dissection is exceptionally well exhibited by numerous exposed sections through the sedimentary sequences. The modern active gully systems have been monitored for more than thirty years. The results of this long-term study illustrate two fundamental aspects of process geomorphology: first, the importance of coupling, i.e. linkages, within the geomorphic system, and secondly, the significance of magnitude/ frequency relationships. The book is organised in two sections. A series of thematic chapters is followed by chapters dealing with details of recommended field excursions. The first excursion is a car-based excursion around the margins of the Howgills but the other excursions are all hiking excursions into the interior of the Howgills. This is an indispensable field guide for the many earth science students who explore the Howgills on field trips. 978-1-78046-070-3 PB c. 128pp col. illus. £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 JULY The Western Highlands of Scotland   Con Gillen Classic Geology in Europe 9 This guide is for those who wish to understand the interplay between rocks and scenery in a truly classic geology in Europe. Nowhere else in Britain is this link to be more clearly observed. The key localities that make the Scottish Highlands unique are explained in a series of excursions. The book is divided into seven areas, starting from the north coast between Tongue and Cape Wrath, then south towards Scourie, Lochinver, Stoer, Ullapool, Assynt, Gairloch, Torridon, Applecross, Kyle of Lochalsh, Glenelg, Ardnamurchan, Mallaig, Fort William, Glen Roy, Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Glen Nevis and finishing at Oban. Excursions are easily accessible, along footpaths and the coast, with a few more challenging options, including Ben Nevis, Scotland’s highest mountain. 978-1-78046-040-6 PB c.192pp col. illus. £24.99/€35.00/$40.00 JULY Introducing Climate Science   John Mason, Rob Painting and Glenn Tamblyn Introducing Earth and Environmental Sciences series Climate science, more particularly climate change, is a much-debated concept at all levels from governments to the individuals but what is climate? What is the difference between weather and climate? The weather outside today is not the climate; climate is averages over long periods of time. The climate of the Earth is changing and has changed constantly over the billions of years that the planet has existed. In Introducing Climate Science, the authors describe the main components of the climate system: the Atmosphere, the Hydrosphere (oceans), the Lithosphere (land), the Cryosphere (ice) and the Biosphere (life). They demonstrate how climate science is a fusion of many other sciences including thermodynamics, physics, chemistry, oceanography, geology, biology and ecosystem science. They discuss climate time-scales and differentiate between regional and global climates. 978-1-78046-069-7 PB PB 2017 c.160pp col. illus. £9.99/ € 14.95/ US$16.50 THE HOWGILL FELLS Adrian Harvey EXCURSION GUIDE TO THE GEOMORPHOLOGY OF D U N E D I N RECENT AND FORTHCOMING 2017 PUBLICATIONS 5 D U N E D I NEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES FORTHCOMING FEBRUARY Volcanoes of Europe (Second edition)  Dougal Jerram, Alwyn Scarth and Jean-Claude Tanguy This thoroughly revised and updated edition reflects modern research and is now illustrated in colour throughout.

It is a concept that remains controversial and unacceptable to many people. Paul Lyle examines how our fascination with time has developed. He considers the passage of time as a series of non-repeatable events, Time’s Arrow, in contrast to time as a series of repeated processes, Time’s Cycle. The author argues for a greater understanding of geological or ‘deep time’ as society becomes more aware of the vulnerability of the Earth’s resources to over-exploitation by an expanding consumer society. This debate and the controversy surrounding global warming emphasises the importance of geological time to the process of economic and political decision-making. ‘…for anyone like me who finds the immensity of geological time (‘deep time’) both fascinating and fundamentally difficult – both emotionally and intellectually – this is a great book.’ Deposits 978-1-78046-039-0 HB 2016 204pp col. illus. £24.99/€35.00/US$36.95 Volcanoes and the Making of Scotland  (Second edition) Brian Upton In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, with fresh text and illustrations, Brian Upton explores Scotland’s volcanoes from the most recent examples to volcanoes of the obscure Precambrian times which left their signature in the ancient rocks of the far north-west. Geographically the book ranges across all of Scotland from Shetland to the Borders. Reflecting current research into Scotland’s geology, the author also speculates as to the climate, geography and ecology of the long- gone landscapes in which the volcanoes of differing ages were created and destroyed. ‘I defy anyone not to be infected by Upton’s enthusiasm. This book should be a constant companion on field trips to Scotland’s rich volcanic heritage.’ Jnl Volc. & Geotherm. Research 978-1-78046-056-7 HB 2015 255pp col. illus. £24.99/€42.00/US$45.00 The Making of Europe: A geological history  Graham Park Graham Park relates how Europe has been assembled through geological time by the accretion of various distinct geological components, some of which have travelled a considerable distance across the globe to reach their present positions. The Making of Europe is a book for all those curious about the origins, variety and geological history of the continent of Europe. Why are there such distinct regions and landscapes, ranging from the wide plains of Northern Europe to the mountains of the South? Although some previous knowledge of geology will be useful, important geological concepts are explained in the Introduction, technical terms are kept to a minimum and a comprehensive glossary is provided in addition to an index. ‘Graham Park is an excellent communicator as well as a very well-travelled and scholarly geologist. Only someone like Graham could write a book like this, much of it from personal knowledge of the geology made by field observations… Today, much of Europe is a geopolitical entity born out of the single piece of crust that we sit on. That has only been the case for the past 20 million years or so. In this book, Graham takes us back to a time when what is now Europe was different pieces of ancient crust. He traces the various orogenies that have shaped and finally brought Europe together… It’s a story about immense tectonic processes that have acted over the past 3 billion years from the fragments of the Archaean through to the products of the Alpine Orogeny. In this overview, Graham takes us through the ‘building blocks’ of Europe that have been assembled to make the landmass we now live on… Such an epic journey only makes sense with a good guide, aided by excellent maps, diagrams and photographs. Graham guides the reader with the minimum of terminology and keeps you focussed on the ‘big picture’ without getting bogged down in the detail.’ Down to Earth 978-1-78046-043-7 HB 2014 171pp col. illus. £50.00/€74.00/$79.99 978-1-78046-023-9 PB 2014 171pp col. illus. £24.99/€36.00/$40.00 SHORT-LISTED FOR THE ASE SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016/17 SH ORTLISTED ASE Science Book of t he Year Award 2016/17 7 D U N E D I NEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Death of an Ocean ~ A Geological Borders Ballad  Euan Clarkson & Brian Upton ‘This is a splendidly produced book, beautifully illustrated and eloquently written. The plot and the main characters are meticulously developed through the clear and didactic narrative. It focuses the most modern of concepts and investigative techniques on the buried history of one of the bonniest parts of Europe.” European Geologist 978-1-78046-034-5 PB 2013 (first published in HB in2009) 223pp col. illus. £25.00/€40.00/US$45.00 Edinburgh Rock ~ The Geology of Lothian  Euan Clarkson & Brian Upton ‘this is an excellent book; it is authoritative yet entertaining and a thoroughly good read... the authors have taken their description of Edinburgh Rock as a starting point and created a text that is somehow more than the sum of the parts.’ Geological Magazine 978-1-78046-033-8 PB 2013 (first published in HB in 2006) 253pp col. illus. £25.00/€40.00/US$45.00 Geology and landscapes of Scotland (Second Edition)  Con Gillen ‘…the book is a reasonably comprehensive and generally excellent account of Scotland’s geodiversity, explaining and promoting both its rich geology and varied scenery and landforms. It is written for and should appeal to a wide audience and, given my previous ignorance of the modern interpretation of the Hebridean Volcanoes (Chapter 7), is easily readable and enjoyable... His narrative also makes the reader aware of the historical beginnings of the science of geology in the late 18th century with James Hutton, and other later historic figures such as Ben Peach and John Horne. It also shows how Scotland’s geodiversity continues to be at the heart of modern research as it spreads from the detail contained in the basic topics of geology, geomorphology etc. into the modern cross-discipline (environmental) themes relating to climate change, changing sea levels and the low carbon economy. I have no hesitation in recommending a trip to the bookshop for this one…’ The Edinburgh Geologist 978-1-78046-009-3 PB 2013 256pp col. illus. £25.00/€35.00/US$45.00 Vesuvius ~ A biography Alwyn Scarth Vesuvius is one of the most dangerous volcanoes on Earth. Its story is fascinating – not only its rich geological and geographical history, but also the changing social, religious and intellectual impact that the volcano has always had upon the people living around it.

Combining extensive use of imagery, the results of laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling, this comprehensively updated second edition of Planetary Geology presents fresh evidence that, to quote the first edition, planetary geology now embraces conventional geology and vice versa. ‘This is a good introductory textbook for anyone with a solid background in geological sciences to the field of planetary geology. This book is the second edition and the authors have done an excellent job in making all the materials bang up-to-date; they even include information that must have been released just prior to the book going to press. The illustrations and figures are outstanding, and, used in addition to the data tables, make a handy reference for those wanting to quickly extract basic facts (e.g. gravitational acceleration, internal structure) about the planets or other solar system bodies.’ Geological Magazine 978-1-780460-38-3 HB 2014 176pp col. illus. £50.00/€65.00/US$73.95 978-1-780460-15-4 PB 2013 176pp col. illus. £25.00/€42.00/US$45.00 Excursion Guide to the Geology of East Sutherland and Caithness (Second Edition) Edited by Nigel Trewin and Andrew Hurst ‘This is a lovely book, easy to read, but a mine of information, and beautifully produced.

The authors chart the fifty-year history of petroleum exploration in Ireland, from early drilling onshore to the present frontier exploration in the deep water Atlantic basins. In discussing the regional geological framework the book outlines the evolution of our understanding of basin development in the Irish offshore. The Pre-Permian to Cenozoic stratigraphy of the region is explained in five chapters, each illustrated by palaeogeographic maps that are based both on onshore geology and on the results of offshore drilling. The four major regional groups of basins are then considered and for each there is analysis of basin development and petroleum systems, together with a review of their exploration history, plays and prospects. 978-1-906716-13-4 HB 2010 272pp col. illus. £150.00/€150.00/US$164.00 Glacial Geology and Geomorphology ~ The Landscapes of Ireland A. Marshall McCabe ‘…a landmark contribution to glacial geology… McCabe provides an unparalleled description of Ireland’s glacial geology.

This book is a tour-de-force and will become a benchmark of how to do glacial geology for years to come.” Quaternary Science Reviews 978-1903765-87-6 HB 2008 288pp col. illus. £40.00/€49.00/US$64.00 Sedimentary Structures (Third Edition) John Collinson, Nigel Mountney and David Thompson Sedimentary Structures introduces undergraduate students to depositional and also post-depositional sedimentary processes across a wide range of scales and shows how sedimentary structures can be interpreted in terms of those processes. Sedimentary structures produced by erosion, deposition and post-depositional change are all clearly explained and related to the processes that formed them. Hydrodynamic and aerodynamic controls on the development of sub- aqueous and aeolian bedforms are discussed, as are the styles of deformation to which sediments can be subjected after deposition. 978-1-903544-19-8 PB 2006 302pp b&w illus. £24.95/€36.00/US$39.50 10 D U N E D I NEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES A Systems Approach to Environmental Management: It’s not easy being Green  Tim O’Higgins with Mohammed Saif Al-Kalbani Human activities increasingly dominate the global environment. Effective environmental management, to use, conserve and maintain natural capital is a major challenge worldwide. Managing the environment involves juggling a complex set of ecological economic and social objectives and priorities which differ nationally locally and regionally. Tim O’Higgins defines and describes a systems approach to environmental management. He explains a framework for analysis of environmental problems as social/ecological systems using fascinating examples from around the globe.

It is a practical ‘how to’ manual and guide aimed at managers in business, civil protection officers, civil security officials, civil defence commanders, neighbourhood leaders and disaster managers who have been tasked with writing, reviewing or preparing emergency plans for all kinds of emergency, disaster or catastrophe. He takes the reader through the process of writing an emergency plan, step by step, starting with the rationale and context, before moving on through the stages of writing and activating a basic, generic emergency plan and concludes with information on specific kinds of plan, for example, for hospitals and cultural heritage sites. This practical guide also provides a core for postgraduate training in emergency management and has been written in such a way that it is not tied to the legal constraints of any particular jurisdiction. 978-1-78046-12-3 HB 2016 268pp £50.00/€69.00/US$88.00 978-1-78046-13-0 PB 2016 268pp £29.99/€38.00/US$48.00 Principles of Emergency Planning and Management David Alexander David Alexander provides a concise yet comprehensive and systematic primer on how to prepare for a disaster. The book introduces the methods, procedures, protocols and strategies of emergency planning, with an emphasis on situations within industrialized countries. It is designed to be a reference source and manual from which emergency mangers can extract ideas, suggestions and pro-forma methodologies to help them design and implement emergency plans. 978-1-903544-10-5 PB 2002 £24.95/€35.00 (this edition is not for sale in North America) Confronting Catastrophe David Alexander Confronting Catastrophe addresses natural disasters in terms of the issues arising from globalization, technological development and consumer culture. These factors have profoundly altered social and economic values, and international relations have responded to a new balance of forces and ideologies. Beginning by examining the theoretical underpinnings of academic and applied work the author then considers cultural, economic and historical changes in relation to the impact of disasters on human societies. Special attention is given to the effects of new technologies on vulnerability to natural catastrophe and to the difference in impacts between industrialized nations and developing countries. It is argued that, far from being exceptional events, disasters are a normal part of life and a substantial influence on most human cultures. 978-1-903544-01-3 PB 2000 288pp £19.95/€28.50 (this edition is not for sale in North America) 12 D U N E D I NEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES — INTRODUCING SERIES… INTRODUCING... A series of highly illustrated books intended as a first readers for university students and for adults seeking a concise but scientifically well-grounded introduction to earth and environmental science topics. All the books in the series contain a Glossary of the scientific terms used in the text. FORTHCOMING JULY Introducing Climate Science   John Mason, Rob Painting and Glenn Tamblyn Introducing Earth and Environmental Sciences series Climate science, more particularly climate change, is a much-debated concept at all levels from governments to the individuals but what is climate? What is the difference between weather and climate? The weather outside today is not the climate; climate is averages over long periods of time. The climate of the Earth is changing and has changed constantly over the billions of years that the planet has existed. In Introducing Climate Science, the authors describe the main components of the climate system: the Atmosphere, the Hydrosphere (oceans), the Lithosphere (land), the Cryosphere (ice) and the Biosphere (life). They demonstrate how climate science is a fusion of many other sciences including thermodynamics, physics, chemistry, oceanography, geology, biology and ecosystem science. They discuss climate time-scales and differentiate between regional and global climates. Copiously illustrated and written for those who wish to gain a clear understanding of what the debate is all about, Introducing Climate Science is designed to make the science intelligible to its readers. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary. CONTENTS Foreword and acknowledgements. 1. Introduction – What is Climate? HOW CLIMATE WORKS: 2.

The book begins with the basic chemistry of minerals and the way in which the mineral kingdom is classified. It then considers mineral occurrences, both typical, such as the minerals that largely make up common rocks like granite, and atypical, such as concentrations of rare metals in ore-deposits. The ways in which minerals are studied using microscopes and the importance of careful observation and interpretation are discussed and the topics of mineral collecting and related issues are addressed. The final chapters explore the uses of minerals, both industrial and scientific, and take a look at environmental issues associated with mineral extraction and usage. 978-1-78046-028-4 PB 2015 128pp col. illus. £14.99/€22.00/US$24.50 Introducing Sedimentology  Stuart J Jones Introducing Sedimentology explains the key concepts of this core earth science discipline to students and to the interested non-specialist. In a wide-ranging survey of sedimentology, the authors consider sedimentary processes, the types of sedimentary rock, sedimentary structures and the environments, both marine and non-marine, where sedimentation occurs. Sedimentology is a critical element of the fossil record while sedimentary basins provide the structures now exploited for natural resources including oil, gas and coal. 978-1-78046-017-8 PB 2015 96pp col. illus. £14.99/€22.00/US$24.50 Introducing Astronomy: A Guide to the Universe  Iain Nicholson We live on a small planet that revolves round an unexceptional star – the Sun – which is one of the hundred billion stars that populate our galaxy. Of the many billions of galaxies that lie within range of our most powerful telescopes, some are so remote that their light has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us. Iain Nicolson takes the reader on a journey from planet Earth to the boundaries of the observable Universe. He explains the nature of stars, planets and galaxies, what makes them shine and how they are born, evolve and eventually die. He explores the origin of the Universe as a whole and considers whether life may exist on other worlds. 978-1-78046-025-3 PB 2014 176pp col. illus. £9.99/€14.95/US$16.50 14 D U N E D I NEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES — INTRODUCING SERIES… Introducing Geology: A Guide to the World of Rocks    Second Edition Graham Park ‘This remains a key resource for both amateur and professional geologists alike, remarkably squeezing virtually all the basics of our subject into some 135 pages with many informative illustrations.’ European Geologist 978-1-906716-21-9 PB 144pp col. illus. £9.99/€14.95/US$16.50 Introducing Geomorphology: A Guide to Landforms and Processes Adrian Harvey ‘An introduction, not a textbook: “The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the science of geomorphology. The book is not intended as a textbook; there are many of these” (p. xi). This attractive publication is indeed footnote-free and well-produced in colour.

I most certainly do.’ Down to Earth 978-1-906716-26-4 PB 2012 144pp col. illus. £14.99/€22.00/US$24.50 Introducing Volcanology: A Guide to Hot Rocks    Dougal Jerram ‘This is the third in a series of earth science books published by Dunedin, the previous two of which (on palaeontology and geology) have been reviewed in this magazine. I said of those books that they were excellent little volumes for the beginner and the amateur, and the current book is no different.Written by the ubiquitous volcano specialist, Dougal Jerram (aka Dr Volcano), who was recently on television in the BBC’s ‘The hottest place on Earth’, a film about an expedition to the lava lake of Erta Ale in Ethiopia… it is a nice little summary of the basics of the science of volcanology. The subject matter inevitably cries out for good illustrations, and the explanatory diagrams and photographs in this guide are extremely good and certainly as good as the previous two volumes. In addition, the writing is easy to understand (there is also a glossary) and fluent. More importantly, the reader cannot be unaffected by the author’s obvious enthusiasm, which comes through on every page.’ Deposits 978-1-906716-22-6 PB 2011 128pp col. illus. £9.99/€14.95/US$16.50 16 D U N E D I NCLASSIC GEOLOGY IN EUROPE (GGE) SERIES A series of concise and authoritative introductory field guides to the exceptional geological areas of Europe.

(CGE 9) 978-1-78046-040-6 PB c.192pp col. illus. £24.99/€35.00/$40.00 Almeria Adrian Harvey and Anne Mather Almeria exhibits superb structural geology (especially the fault system), a complete Neogene sedimentary sequence (itself rare) involving an enormous range of sedimentary environments, and classic dryland geomorphology. Exposure of the sedimentary sequences is excellent. The area is spectacular and the landform assemblage includes a wide range of erosional and depositional landscapes. Furthermore, the region enables linkages to be made between the several disciplines of geodynamics. GPS coordinates are provided to the locations mentioned in the text. ‘The present book deals with Almeria (a province in SE Spain), which is a classical area for Mediterranean Neogene and Quaternary geology, also because of the interaction between the European and the African plates. The consequent initial compression resulted in the Betic Cordilleras, but during the late Tertiary the compressional regime was replaced by lateral shear, resulting in a basin-and- range terrain. Basins preserve the evaporites related to the so-called Messinian salinity crisis, when the Mediterranean desiccated. And the above aspects are only a few of those that make this region a classic! The book is well illustrated in full colour, with maps, field sketches and abundant photographs. The text is well written and easily readable.

FORTHCOMING MAY Child Protection and Disability: Practical challenges for research  Edited by Deborah Fry, Patricia Lannen, Audrey Cameron, Jennifer Vanderminden and Tabitha Casey Protecting Children and Young People series What are the child protection concerns for deaf and disabled children and young people? What are their views about the child protection system? How can we measure if we have made a difference in ending violence against children? These questions and others are at the forefront of policy, practice and research debates internationally. This book explores the ethical, methodological, and practical challenges in conducting child protection research with deaf and disabled children and young people. This edited volume draws upon examples of research and translating research to policy and practice from international leaders in both child protection and disability fields. 978-1-78046-050-5 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 Child Protection, Public Health and Nursing  Edited by Jane Appleton & Sue Peckover Highlights and examines the vital role of nurses in protecting children from maltreatment. It explores the input of nurses from different disciplines to the work in protecting children and young people. It draws on relevant theoretical, research and policy literature but focuses in particular on the evidence base for the value of their work. While orientated towards the UK practice, the book includes some comparative material to add a wider European perspective. The text includes discussion of specialist public health nursing roles such as health visiting and school nursing, as well as the contribution of those who have more general nursing roles but whose work brings them into contact with children, young people and their families. 978-178046-045-1 PB 2015 c.112pp £19.95/€28.00/US$32.00 Early Intervention: Supporting and strengthening families  Edited by Sharon Vincent Early investment in vulnerable families, both in terms of the timing of early support or at the onset of issues, is more effective and cheaper than specialist support which is offered only once problems become complex. One of the best ways to keep children safe is to develop innovative ways of enhancing the quality of help received by families, to redesign services around children and families’ needs, and to provide an early help through better inter-agency working. This book examines early intervention policy across the UK and promising practice initiatives which have been designed to support vulnerable families. 978-1-78046-036-9 PB 2015 c.112pp £19.95/€28.00/US$32.00 19 D U N E D I NCHILD PROTECTION & PUBLIC HEALTH Trauma Informed Care in the Perinatal Period   Edited by Julia Seng & Julie Taylor This edited collection addresses the issues of intergenerational cycles of childhood maltreatment and psychiatric vulnerability.

Its physical effects may last for days and may result in actual physical injury. It is not accidental. Although physical abuse can occur in any family, it is prevalent in particular sectors of society, where families may be vulnerable to a combination of complex risk factors such as domestic abuse, alcohol and drug (mis)use, and mental health issues. The authors provide an increased understanding of risk, analysis, impact, learning and the current landscape of service delivery. 978-1-78046-031-4 PB 2014 150pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE SERIES: Preventing Child Deaths – Learning from Review  Sharon Vincent 978-1-78046-011-6 PB 2012 160pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 Children and Organised Sport Kate Alexander and Anne Stafford 978-1-906716-24-0 PB 2011 102pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 Learning from Child Deaths and Serious Abuse in Scotland Sharon Vincent 978-1-903765-96-8 PB 2009 143pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 Child Protection Reform across the UK Edited by Anne Stafford, Sharon Vincent and Nigel Partington 978-1-903765-97-5 PB 2010 110pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 20 D U N E D I NHEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE POLICY & PRACTICE IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SERIES ISSN 1750-1407 Series Editors: Professor Charlotte Clarke and Dr Charlotte Pearson.

FORTHCOMING MAY Housing and Housing Management: Balancing the two key contracts  Nigel Sprigings Policy & Practice in Health and Social Care (No. 23) Housing been described as the “wobbly pillar” of the welfare state on account of it never achieving universal coverage as did health and education. This does not diminish its importance for individuals, households, communities and social stability. Adequate and affordable housing provision is one of the key elements of a functioning democracy. Often characterised as the routine undertaking of simple tasks, housing management never established itself as a key profession in the public sector during the twentieth century. The author challenges that characterisation of housing management by arguing that, from its inception, ‘housing management’ involves complex tasks. Housing managers engage with some of the most difficult situations, including homelessness, racial harassment, domestic violence and anti-social behaviour. In continually responding to changing emphases in housing and welfare policy, housing management has established itself as a pragmatic and humane profession. However, this characterisation is itself challenged by the systematic erosion of welfare provision and the disciplinary nature of ‘welfare reform’ that requires housing managers to have an ‘enforcement’ role in respect of those people that they have traditionally sought to help. Housing management practice in the social sector has always had a complex role as it negotiates the contracts that exist both between tenants and landlords and the wider contract between the welfare state and its tenant citizens. This role faces new challenges as housing is placed at the heart of both welfare reform and an increasingly disciplinary state. The book will be of particular interest to students of the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and to policy makers and housing managers more widely 978-1-78046-061-1 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 FORTHCOMING MAY Socialising Transgender: Support in transition  Kate Norman Policy & Practice in Health and Social Care (No. 25) The author seeks to counterbalance the prevailing medicalised approach to statutory support for transgender people which tends to focus on the physical processes of transition rather than on subsequent social role adjustment. The book explores the potential for improved social support to transgender people and also to partners, children and other family members. It concludes by proposing a combination of advocacy and social care support to further the legal and social status of transgender people. 978-1-78046-065-9 PB 2017 c.120pp £19.95/€ 29.00/US$32.00 21 D U N E D I NHEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE Asset-based Approaches: their rise, role and reality  Fiona Garven, Jennifer McLean and Lisa Pattoni To achieve a fair and just society with positive outcomes for all, there is an imperative to examine both the structural causes of poverty and inequality and the role that public services play in mitigating and reducing their impacts. A ‘deficit approach’ to the provision of public services has evolved in which services are designed to fill gaps and fix problems. An alternative lies in asset-based approaches. These change the relationship between the citizen and the state; between those supported by services and those doing the supporting. In providing a critical overview of the evidence for asset-based approaches, including the background and rationale for the approach; the current policy, political and economic context; and the implications and opportunities for the workforce, this book will be of interest and use to all those seeking change and improvement in the provision of public services.

Philomena de Lima provides a contemporary understanding of migrants and migration processes and trends. She reviews the trends in international migration and theoretical discourses on making sense of migrant experiences with a particular focus on issues related to the wellbeing of migrants and their access to services, including health and social care services. The book will inform and educate social science students, policy-makers and those wrestling on a practical level with the implications of migration.

Support for this shift was initiated by the disabled peoples’ movement, both in the UK and globally. Policies introducing direct payments in lieu of provided services have been secured gradually as a central plank of the campaign for independent living. The authors examine some of the key themes and debates emerging from the implementation of this policy. These include a look at the evolution of this concept and its development within the wider personalisation agenda, as well as a focus on the new language that is emerging and the changing roles for users, carers, local authorities and service providers. ‘Overall, therefore, this book comes highly recommended both for an academic and (perhaps particularly) for a professional audience. It is important that anybody involved in the development of social care is able both to accept the need for service users to be enabled to exercise increased levels of choice and control, and to understand the extent to which financial shortfalls might inevitably compromise this. The book’s insistence on this point helps to ensure its significance in the literature.’ Critical Social Policy (PPHSC 19) 978-1-78046-024-6 PB 2014 107pp £18.95/€28.00/US$32.00 Social Work with Fathers: Positive Practice  Gary Clapton ‘The book explores topics such as maleness and being able to express a view from a male perspective. Each of chapters dovetails nicely into the one following. At times, case studies are used to exemplify points and throughout, the reader is signposted to key research. The book is a journey that begins with thoughts around finding fathers and ends with practice advice for workers. At just over 100 pages this volume is very accessible and easy to read. The introduction considers the importance of parenting to men and that fathers are important to their children. It promotes the idea of father inclusive practice, suggesting that fathers have been overlooked in the past by professionals.’ Journal of Social Work (PPHSC 18) 978-1-906716-12-7 PB 2013 128pp £18.95/€28.00/US$32.00 Residential Child Care  Graham Connelly and Ian Milligan ‘If you are new to looked-after children’s care or looking for policy directions you will learn how a well-ordered system could be structured.

Administrations wrestle constantly with the balance of need, cost and aspiration as they provide the services that their citizens demand. Important reforms are taking place in Scotland as welfare services are underpinned by concepts of integration, partnership, social justice, independence and choice. Following devolution significant differences in policy and practice in these areas have emerged between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. This series provides an accessible introduction to these topics from a Scottish perspective and contrasts the Scottish approach to that adopted elsewhere. Every volume explores policy, practice and debate in a key area of health and social care. The series is written at a level that will stimulate those wrestling with these themes from a professional perspective as well as providing essential reading for those studying health and social policy. The book About 1,700 Scottish children and young people are in residential care. Several hundred others, including those with significant learning, physical and communication disabilities, receive regular periods of respite care in residential units. Residential child care has been the focus of a considerable amount of government policy-making. There have been changes in the average size and location of residential units, changes in staffing structures and repeated attempts to better train the workforce. Scotland’s government plays a major role, particularly for the most disadvantaged or ‘troubled and troublesome’ children. Scotland does not have a separate juvenile justice ‘detention’ sector and has only a tiny in-patient child and adolescent mental health service. A significant number of Scottish children’s homes remain under local government control, while there has been a decline in voluntary sector provision and growth, from a low base, of private provision. This is the first dedicated study of the Scottish children’s residential care sector with appropriate comparison to parallel provision elsewhere. The result is a text of great interest and utility.

School leadership is set in its social context. Is leadership associated with function within a bureaucratically ordered hierarchy, is it widely shared across communities or is it both? The school is considered both as an institution of the state and as an agency of democratic values. Ideas as to who the leaders are and what leadership involves are recast. The authors’ recent experience with Headship preparation and development is discussed and analysed. Set in the Scottish experience this book provides examples of general issues facing many schools and school leaders across the world. This is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of a book that has been a key resource for School Leadership programmes since publication of the first edition in 2003. 978-1-78046-051-2 PB 2016 264pp £24.95/€38.00/$39.95 Professional School Leadership: Dealing with Dilemmas (Second edition)  Daniel Murphy ‘I found this book very interesting and inspiring and the additions to the first edition ensure that the concepts explored have received in-depth treatment, allowing the inclusion of a range of views and literature. School leaders, especially those finding themselves grappling with dilemmas, would find may useful insights here, but my concern relates to an observation made by Murphy himself. School leaders are more often reactive than reflective, due either to their perception or the pressures of their role. To gain the full benefit of the insights offered, they would need to take time to work through and reflect upon the theory and examples discussed in Part A. Used as part of leadership training this book provides rich and thought-provoking material to promote deep reflection within aspiring leaders. The book makes a timely and useful contribution to the profession at a time when schools and school leaders face huge change and challenges.’ Educational Management Administration & Leadership 978-1-78046-018-5 PB 2013 196pp £19.95/€29.00/US$32.00 Democratic Citizenship in Schools: Teaching Controversial Issues, Traditions and Accountability Jane Brown, Hamish Ross and Pamela Munn (Eds) In recent years a greater emphasis has been placed on how nation states socialise and prepare the next generation of citizens.

It is therefore appropriate that a book on the singing voice be filled with passion – and this book is. Singing: Personal and performance values in Training is not for the faint hearted or those looking for a middle road. It is not a follow-by-numbers instruction book or a scientifically based explanation of the singing voice. It is a bold and decisive statement in which Peter Harrison puts pen to a deeply personal manifesto – an unashamed call to arms of what he feels should be occurring in the psyche, the mind, the heart and the life of every singing pedagogue. ln every page there is a heartfelt claim about the singing voice: the condition and needs of the singer; the appetites of the listening public that shape the singing landscape; the common science that informs and can mislead, the singing teachers and institutions; or, the meaning of what it is to sing.’ Communicating Voice (British Voice Association) 978-1-78046-006-2 PB 2013 286pp £25.00/€37.00/US$40.00 The Human Nature of the Singing Voice – Exploring a Holistic Basis for Sound Teaching and Learning  Peter T Harrison ‘Harrison manages to successfully combine thought-provoking ideas on how to liberate and enjoy our voice while at the same time offering practical advice for the care and maintenance of the voice...required reading for the singing professional.’ The Singer 978-1-903765-54-8 PB 2006 256pp £22.00/€32.00/US$35.000 The Student Voice – An Introduction to Developing the Singing Voice  Colin Baldy ‘Colin Baldy has been clear and concise and throughout he speaks directly to the reader and provides examples wherever he can.

Understanding Jainism  Lawrence A. Babb Jainism is Buddhism’s often overlooked cousin. As the only surviving examples of ancient India’s non-Vedic religious traditions, the two religions are often grouped together as ‘heterodoxies’, but this is to ignore deep differences between Jain and Buddhist beliefs and practices. Unlike Buddhism, Jainism has hardly spread beyond the Indian subcontinent but unlike Buddhism, Jainism has survived in India where it is a prominent element in the mix of Indian religions today. Although relatively few in numbers, the Jains are a wealthy community and exercise great influence in Indian economic and political life. 978-1-78046-032-1 PB 2015 c.176pp £12.50/€18.50/US$19.95 Understanding Chinese Religions  Joachim Gentz Chinese religions are often presented as a unity with each tradition possessing features typical of a Chinese religious system.
