As Tony Blair has said,"Technology has revolutionised the way we work and is now set to transform education. Children cannot be effective in tomorrow''s world if they are trained in yesterday''s skills."Cyberkids draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children''s experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children''s identities and friendships in on-line and off-line worlds and their relationships with families and teachers. It counters contemporary moral panics about children''s risk from dangerous strangers on-line, about corruption and lost innocence from adult-centred material on the web and about the addiction to life on the screen. Instead, by showing how children use ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways, the book draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology and the ways in which children''s local experiences are embedded within, and in part, constitute the global.

If your company has an ambitious set of sustainability goals, you’ll already know that they can’t be achieved from the safety of global headquarters. What you need is a network: a small army of people from across the business who know their department, country or brand inside out, and who can find the right way to embed sustainability.

Change, when it happens, is usually driven locally, taking into account the priorities, environment and culture of each business area. If you’ve spent a long time persuading senior management that the sustainability agenda is business-critical, it’s difficult to place the delivery of your precious goals in the hands of others. But you can’t be everywhere at once!

Networks for Sustainability gives you the tools to review and improve your sustainability network, whether you’re revitalizing a group of champions or setting up your network from scratch.

"This book clearly outlines key concepts that all geographers should readily be able to explain. It does so in a highly accessible way. It is likely to be a text that my students will return to throughout their degree."- Dr Karen Parkhill, Bangor University

"The editors have done a fantastic job. This second edition is really accessible to the student and provides the key literature in the key geographical terms of scale, space, time, place and landscape."- Dr Elias Symeonakis, Manchester Metropolitan University

"An excellent introductory text for accessible overviews of key concepts across human and physical geography."- Professor Patrick Devine-Wright, Exeter University

Key Concepts in Geography explains the key terms - space, time, place, scale, landscape - that define the language of geography. It is unique in the reference literature as it provides in one volume concepts from both human geography and physical geography.

Four introductory chapters on different intellectual traditions in geography situate and introduce the entries on the key concepts. Each entry then comprises a short definition, a summary of the principal arguments, a substantive 5,000-word discussion, the use of real-life examples, and annotated notes for further reading.

Written in an accessible way by established figures in the discipline, the definitions provide thorough explanations of all the core concepts that undergraduates of geography must understand to complete their degree.
