Climate change will change the
relationships between the British Isles and the rest
of the world, between the nations of the Isles, and
between the north and south of Britain. Precisely
because the British Isles will be sheltered from the
physical extremes of climate change, they offer an
opportunity to think about just how profound and
pervasive the effects of a disrupted Earth system on
human societies will be.

science as a source of authority.

Moral panics broke out during
and after the First World War as reports emerged of
drug use on the streets and in the clubs of London's
West End. They expressed a traumatised society's
fears about modernity and change - especially the
rapidly changing lives of young women.
'The best, most perceptive and
most authoritative account of the British drug scene
ever.' Will Self

How panics about drugs express
