Investigating SME resilience and their adaptive capacities to extreme weather events: A literature review and synthesis (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Ingirige, B., Jones, K., & Proverbs, D. (2008, January). Investigating SME resilience and their adaptive capacities to extreme weather events: A literature review and synthesis. Presented at Building Resilience BEAR 2008, Kandalama, Sri Lanka

In the UK, extreme weather events (EWEs) such as floods, heat waves and storms are increasing in frequency and severity. The ability of local communities to cope with the immediate impact and recover from the aftermath is critical to the continued we...

Are textbook references to Darwin close to extinction? (2008)
Journal Article
Rees, P. (2008). Are textbook references to Darwin close to extinction?. School science review, 331, 43-48

The textbooks used to teach GCE A-level biology 30 years ago tended to concentrate on
traditional zoology and botany, with just a passing reference to evolution. As biology established
itself as a new discipline, books (and syllabuses) began to tak... Read More about Are textbook references to Darwin close to extinction?.
