Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book draws on qualitative interviews with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people regarding whether and how they came to have children. With their stories at the heart of the analysis, it reveals the challenges posed by homophobia and discrimination and showcases the creative strategies, resilience, and resourcefulness that LGB people use as they build families (with or without children) after coming out. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Special Issue presents the work of 30 scientists from 11 countries. It confirms that the impacts of global change, resulting from both climate change and increasing anthropogenic pressure, are huge on worldwide coastal areas (and critically so on some islands in the Pacific Ocean), with highly negative effects on coastal groundwater resources, which are widely affected by seawater intrusion. Some improved research methods are proposed in the contributions: using innovative hydrogeological, geophysical, and geochemical monitoring; assessing impacts of the changing environment on the coastal groundwater resources in terms of quantity and quality; and using modelling, especially to improve management approaches. The scientific research needed to face these challenges must continue to be deployed by different approaches based on the monitoring, modelling and management of groundwater resources. Novel and more efficient methods must be developed to keep up with the accelerating pace of global change. |
