By providing state-of-the-art spatially disaggregated information regarding the historical, current, and possible future climate within the region, the contributors assess the risks and susceptibility of the critical socio-economic and environmental systems. Key sectors discussed are agriculture, human health, water, energy and infrastructure, and the vulnerabilities that may be amplified under current climate trajectories.

How should communities deal with in-migrants and immigrants who might have made only the lightest contribution to the economic and social lives of those communities? What basket of welfare rights ought to be attached to the status of citizen? How might people prove, maintain and pass on a sense of "belonging" to a place?Poor lawsEnglandPoor lawsWalesPoor lawsPoor laws344.420325Jones PeterKing StevenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807436703321Obligation, entitlement and dispute under the English Poor Laws4120677UNINA
