The result of the United Kingdom referendum in June 2016 on membership of the European Union had immediate repercussions across the UK, the EU and internationally. As the dust begins to settle, attention is now naturally drawn to understanding why this momentous decision came about and how and when the UK will leave the EU. What are the options for the new legal settlements between the UK and the EU? What will happen to the current political landscape within the UK in the time up to and including its exit from the EU? What about legal and political life after Brexit? Within a series of short essays, Brexit Time explores and contextualises each stage of Brexit in turn: pre-referendum; the result; the process of withdrawal; rethinking EU relations; and post-Brexit. During a time of intense speculation and commentary, this book offers an indispensable guide to the key issues surrounding a historic event and its uncertain aftermath.

The Urban Climate Change Research Network's Second Assessment Report on Climate Change in Cities (ARC3.2) is the second in a series of global, science–based reports to examine climate risk, adaptation, and mitigation efforts in cities. The book explicitly seeks to explore the implications of changing climatic conditions on critical urban physical and social infrastructure sectors and intersectoral concerns. The primary purpose of ARC3.2 is to inform the development and implementation of effective urban climate change policies, leveraging ongoing and planned investments for populations in cities of developing, emerging, and developed countries. This volume, like its predecessor, will be invaluable for a range of audiences involved with climate change and cities: mayors, city officials and policymakers; urban planners; policymakers charged with developing climate change mitigation and adaptation programs; and a broad spectrum of researchers and advanced students in the environmental sciences.
KEY FEATURES
• Contains double the number of chapters as the First ARC3 Report, based on feedback from numerous climate conferences around the world and a survey of city experts and practitioners
• Includes many new topics, including urban ecology and biodiversity, environmental equity and justice, economics, finance, and the private sector, urban planning and design, urban solid waste, urban coastal zones, mitigation and adaptation, and housing and informal settlements
Climate Change and CitiesSecond Assessment Report of the Urban Climate Change Research Network Edited by David A. Keith, Cynthia Rosenzweig, William D. Solecki, Patricia Romero-Lankao, Shagun Mehrotra, Shobhakar Dhakal and Somayya Ali Ibrahim
FEATURED TITLES
Praise for Climate Change and Cities
'With the international community now galvanized to put the world on a climate safe pathway, the evidence is stacking up that cities have a key role to play. The second edition of the ARC3 report from the Urban Climate Change Research Network provides a critical knowledge base for global cities as they respond to climate change challenges and seize the economic opportunities of low carbon, climate resilient development. Leading mayors, through networks such as the C40, are learning from each other, exchanging ideas and thereby accelerating local action on the ground.'

Why in some parts of the world do parents rarely play with their babies and never with toddlers? Why in some cultures are children not fully recognised as individuals until they are older? How are routine habits of etiquette and hygiene taught—or not—to children in other societies? Drawing on a lifetime's experience as an anthropologist, David F. Lancy takes us on a journey across the globe to show how children are raised differently in different cultures. Intriguing, and sometimes shocking, his discoveries demonstrate that our ideas about children are recent, untested, and often contrast starkly with those in other parts of the world. Lancy argues that we are, by historical standards, guilty of over-parenting, of micro-managing our children's lives. Challenging many of our accepted truths, his book will encourage parents to think differently about children, and by doing so to feel more relaxed about their own parenting skills.
KEY FEATURES
• Uses an archive of anthropological information on childhood as a lens to critically examine contemporary childhood
• Argues that many ideas we have about children are very modern, untested, and often run contrary to what we've learned about childhood in other cultures and earlier time periods
• Reflects on why parents experience so much uncertainty and doubt, and demonstrates what parents can do to lessen anxiety and, at the same time, improve their child's chances

Praise for Raising Children
'David F. Lancy's fascinating and comprehensive work on the anthropology of childhood puts modern Western parenting into much needed historical and cultural context, calling into question all that we assume to be best practice or most 'natural'. In an age of unprecedentedly high parental anxiety, Lancy's work offers compelling, welcome evidence that there truly are many ways to raise a thriving child.'

David F. Lancy, is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Utah State University. He is author/editor of several books on childhood and culture, including Cross-Cultural Studies in Cognition and Mathematics (1983), Studying Children and Schools (2001), Playing on the Mother Ground: Cultural Routines for Children's Learning (1996), The Anthropology of Learning in Childhood (2011) and The Anthropology of Childhood: Cherubs, Chattel, Changelings (Cambridge, 2015).

In this compelling examination of the intersection of smart technology and the law, Joshua A. T. Fairfield explains the crisis of digital ownership—how and why we no longer control our smartphones or software-enable devices, which are effectively owned by software and content companies. In two years we will not own our 'smart' televisions which will also be used by advertisers to listen in to our living rooms. In the coming decade, if we do not take back our ownership rights, the same will be said of our self-driving cars and software-enabled homes. We risk becoming digital peasants, owned by software and advertising companies, not to mention overreaching governments. Owned should be read by anyone wanting to know more about the loss of our property rights, the implications for our privacy rights and how we can regain control of both.
KEY FEATURES
• Engaging and exhaustively researched, with clear and copious examples which explain complex legal problems with accessible stories
• Proposes a new theory of property-as-information, explaining how to make traditional property rules work online
• Makes property theory accessible to a general audience, helping readers understand the reach and role of the institution of property in society

Praise for Owned
'Property in the digital age is getting strange. You can own things you can't see or touch, like Bitcoins. But your ownership of things you can, like your car and your phone, has never been less secure. Owned is an essential guide to how not to get owned by the things you think you own.

This volume of the Official History of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations recounts the activities of Australia’s military forces in response to overseas natural disasters. The military’s involvement in overseas emergency management has focused primarily on the period immediately after disaster strikes: transporting relief supplies, providing medical assistance, restoring basic services and communications and other logistical support. Beginning with the 1917-18 influenza epidemic that ravaged the Pacific and culminating with the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, this book covers Australia’s response to some of the most catastrophic natural events of the twentieth century. In Their Time of Need is richly detailed, as Steven Bullard weaves together official government records and archival images with the personal narratives and photographs of those who served. This volume is an authoritative and compelling history of Australia’s efforts to help their neighbours.
KEY FEATURES
• This text is the official history of the activities of Australia’s military in response to overseas natural disasters
• Official government records, archival images and personal narratives and photographs are expertly woven together to give the reader a comprehensive understanding of the topic
• This volume explores an aspect of Australian history that is little understood and rarely analysed in depth

Based around the Pacific Islands Regiment, the Australian Army’s units in Papua New Guinea had a dual identity: integral to Australia’s defence, but also part of its largest colony, and viewed as a foreign people. The Australian Army in PNG defended Australia from threats to its north and west, while also managing the force’s place within Australian colonial rule in PNG, occasionally resulting in a tense relationship with the Australian colonial government during a period of significant change. In Guarding the Periphery: The Australian Army in Papua New Guinea, 1951–75, Tristan Moss explores the operational, social and racial aspects of this unique force during the height of the colonial era in PNG and during the progression to independence. Combining the rich detail of both archival material and oral histories, Guarding the Periphery recounts a part of Australian military history that is often overlooked by studies of Australia’s military past.
KEY FEATURES
• Richly detailed, drawing on archival material and oral histories
• Explores an area of Australia’s military and colonial history that is often overlooked
• Introduces readers to the social, cultural and linguistic diversity of the Australian Army
