A succession of crises from the Norman Conquest to the English Revolution were causal links and chains of collective memory in a unique, vernacular, popu...

Restoring Lands - Coordinating Science, Politics and Action: Complexities of Climate and Governance
In the late 19th century, the Progressive Era laid the foundations for "scientific management" of lands and natural resources. Yet scientific management, often lauded in concept, is elusive.
