Stroma
Stroma is a microcosm of humanity's fleeting struggle with the planet and still has huge relevance for how we forge our energy future and our relationship with the environment; a small island, a big story.

The Farm Boy
Monty Bryden’s story spans almost a century and takes him from his childhood idyll within the farming community of Argyll, in Scotland, through the precarious world of commodities trading, import and export. At times, his life story reads like an epic action movie escaping hired killers in the dark underbelly of Central Africa, facing years in jail for international fraud and battling two separate life-threatening cancers. The book details his life from the beginning, from meeting his great love to farm management, from leading a family life to adventures abroad in Venezuela to Europe and deepest Africa where he traded in commodities and beyond. As a young man, he came face-to-face with de...
Political Thought and International Relations
Political realism dominated the field of International Relations during the Cold War. Since then, however, its fortunes have been mixed: pushed onto the backfoot during 1990s, it has in recent years retuned to the centre of scholarly debate. Despite its prominence in International Relations, however, realism plays only a marginal role in contemporary international political theory. It is often associated with a form of crude realpolitik that ignores the ethical dimensions of political life. The contributors to this book explore alternative understandings of realism, seeing it as a diverse and complex mode of political and ethical theorising rather than simply a "value-neutral" social scienti...

Primal Magic
When academies start to die… …The future of druid-kind hangs in the balance. Is Dragondale next? The students have something else on their mind. The Four Nations Cup is coming, and it’s all anyone can talk about. Lyssa wants nothing to do with it – humiliation on an international scale isn’t how she rolls. But when her friends convince her to try out, who knows where it will lead? And what it will cost her. There are new students at Dragondale – and they’re not even druids. Refugees from a cursed academy, the newcomers have their work cut out fitting in. Lyssa’s attempts to reach out to them fall flat, and most of the other students aren’t even trying. Are old prejudices rising to the surface, or are the students right not to trust the newcomers? The pressure is piling up on Lyssa and her friends to make the decisions that will shape their future. But one wrong choice, and there may not be a future left to worry about. Will this final year prove one too many for Lyssa, and for Dragondale itself? You’ll love this Academy fantasy because of the twists, turns, and magical surprises. Get it now.
Ageing Populations and Changing Labour Markets
Talk of a demographic time bomb is not new. The notion first entered public consciousness some time ago, but there is a lack of clarity about what such talk is really all about. Ageing populations are seen both as a threat and an opportunity. There is concern about discrimination against older workers, at the same time as there is concern about a shortage of labour. Migration of labour from places with young populations to places with ageing populations is sometimes seen in a positive light and sometimes quite differently. With chapters reflecting different perspectives from around the world, this book constitutes a major contribution to serious, informed debate on issues that all too often ...
