The Cannabis Social Club
As cannabis legalization reforms are underway, there is some concern that non-profit, ‘middle ground’ options may remain under-researched and thus less visible. This book offers an in-depth account of one of the possible ‘middle ground’ models for the supply of cannabis: the Cannabis Social Club. Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs) are typically formal, non-profit associations of adult cannabis users who produce and distribute that substance close to or at cost price among themselves. They constitute an user-driven model for the supply of cannabis. In most jurisdictions, CSCs remain a grass roots, unregulated initiative of groups of users, but the model has been legalized in Uruguay and Mal...

Illegal Markets and the Economics of Organized Crime
This book showcases recent advances in the theoretical and empirical understanding of the economic aspects of organised crime and illegal markets. It provides new insights into defining and quantifying the influence of organised crime by drawing on innovative approaches to studying criminal networks and organisations such as the Hells Angels. The book includes analysis of the structure of illegal drug markets from international leaders in the field. Finally the text includes empirical case studies of the diverse markets where organised crime is currently active including the illegal market for crystal methamphetamine in Australia, tiger products in China and the falcon and fur trades in Russia. This book was based on a special issue of Global Crime.
World Wide Weed
For the majority of its history, the cultivation of cannabis did not stand out, at least compared to the cultivation of other illegal plants. Cannabis plantations, like coca bush or opium poppy plantations, were typically large in size, grown by local farmers in a handful of developing (producing) countries, processed and then exported to industrial (consuming) nations. While cocaine and heroin are still produced in a handful of developing countries, cannabis cultivation is increasingly universal. From Europe to the Americas and Oceania, import substitution in cannabis markets has been noticed in almost every developed country around the world, with a notable aversion for discrimination.

Sea Mammals
Mammals originated on land. Millions of years ago, some of them adapted to life in the sea. They were the ancestors of today's sea mammals: whales, manatees, seals, otters, and more. Sea Mammals explores the origins and history of marine mammals, then looks at the many varieties that exist today, from the blue whale-the largest animal that has ever lived-to the vaquita, the world's smallest and most endangered sea mammal. It also focuses on the role of sea mammals in human life, the questions that fascinate marine mammal researchers, and the future of these creatures that share the oceans with fish and reptiles but are biologically closer to bears and elephants.

Edwin Smith: A Life in Derbyshire Cricket
Edwin Smith will almost certainly be the last Derbyshire bowler to take over a thousand first-class wickets. For 20 summers between 1951 and 1971, he provided the county with a reliable spin option when conditions didn’t favour their succession of outstanding seam bowlers. In the course of those summers, he took 1,217 wickets and scored almost 7,000 runs, taking five or more wickets in an innings on 51 occasions. Only five men in the club’s 145-year history have taken more wickets for the county. Now in retirement in the Grassmoor village where he was born, Edwin’s story is that of a man who gave his life to Derbyshire cricket. As well as playing, he coached the county side and took thousands of wickets in local league cricket. He played his last match at the age of 74, almost 60 years after his first appearance for his village side. A respected coach in and around Chesterfield, this is the story of one of cricket’s unsung heroes and one of the most popular men to wear the county colours. The book captures the period in which he played the game and features many of its greatest characters.
