Introduction : an age of rights -- Decent citizens and agitators : civil liberties activism in the 1930s -- From civil liberties to human rights : british civil liberties activism and universal human rights -- The progressive professionals : civil liberties and the politics of activism in the 1960s -- From progressive to radical : the 1970s and a crisis of civil liberties -- The road to freedom? Civil liberties, Human rights and the evolution of the NGO in the age of Thatcher -- The politics of vigilance : human rights and civil liberties activism during and beyond the Age of New Labour.

Sommario/riassunto

The National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) was formed in the 1930s against a backdrop of fascism and 'popular front' movements. In this volatile political atmosphere, the aim of the NCCL was to ensure that civil liberties were a central component of political discourse. Chris Moores's new study shows how the NCCL - now Liberty - had to balance the interests of extremist allies with the desire to become a respectable force campaigning for human rights and civil liberties. From new social movements of the 1960s and 1970s to the formation of the Human Rights Act in 1998, this study traces the NCCL's development over the last eighty years. It enables us to observe shifts and continuities in forms of political mobilisation throughout the twentieth century, changes in discourse about extensions and retreats of freedoms, as well as the theoretical conceptualisation and practical protection of rights and liberties.

Nota di contenuto

Introduction to tectonic geomorphology --  Geomorphic markers--  Establishing timing in the landscape : dating methods --  Stress, faults, and folds --  Short-term deformation : geodesy --  Paleoseismology : ruptures and slip rates --  Rates of erosion and uplift --  Holocene deformation and landscape responses --  Deformation and geomorphology at intermediate time scales -- Tectonic geomorphology at late Cenozoic time scales -- Numerical modeling of landscape evolution.

Sommario/riassunto

Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years. Over the past decade, recent advances in the quantification of both rates and the physical basis of tectonic and surface processes have underpinned an explosion of new research in the field of tectonic geomorphology. Modern tectonic geomorphology is an exceptionally integrative field that utilizes techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology, seismology, geochronology, structure
