‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

The Origins of the Human Rights Act: A ‘British Bill of Rights’ the First Time Around

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reconstructs the first initiatives for a British Bill of Rights from the late 1960s to the mid‐1980s and argues that their failure shaped the eventual form of the Human Rights Act. Proposals for a Bill of Rights emerged across the political spectrum, but commanded most support on the right as a means of restraining trade unions ...

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract ‘Dent was probably an amateur and nothing is known of his life’, state Bryant and Heneage. Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

The Asynchronous Installation Effect on the Embedment Performance and Dynamic Response of a Novel Group-Drag-Anchor System in a Soft Clay Seabed

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A novel group-drag-anchor system (GDAS), comprising a Delta anchor and a four-tooth anchor, was developed to enhance mooring capacity for floating offshore wind turbines in soft clay seabeds. This study focuses on the influence of the installation method
