From burgers to biodiversity? The McDonaldization of on-farm nature conservation in the UK (2007)
Journal Article

This paper uses George Ritzer's account of McDonaldization - the socially transformative process of rationalization - to undertake a critical analysis of agri-environment schemes, the dominant form of on-farm nature conservation in England. Drawing o... Read More about From burgers to biodiversity? The McDonaldization of on-farm nature conservation in the UK.

From uncertainty to risk?: Scientific and news media portrayals of nanoparticle safety (2007)
Journal Article

This article examines how nanotechnology has been portrayed in the British newspaper press over an extended period (from April 1, 2003 to July 1, 2006) and the views of scientists involved in nanotechnology research and journalists who wrote news sto...

Brownfield development: Are we using the right targets? Evidence from England and Germany (2007)
Journal Article

Urban brownfield sites are a major planning concern across Europe, and most European countries have strategies to reuse them. In England and Germany, quantified targets for brownfield development have been set at the national level, with the twin obj... Read More about Brownfield development: Are we using the right targets?

Individuals and the dynamics of policy learning: The case of the third battle of Newbury (2007)
Journal Article

In recent years, the phenomenon whereby key individuals introduce effective ideas into policy processes has been identified as a vital agent in the redefinition of policy issues. In turn, this raises the basic question of how these individuals themse... Read More about Individuals and the dynamics of policy learning: The case of the third battle of Newbury.

Voltammetric behaviour of DNA bases at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its application to a simple and rapid voltammetric method for the determination of oxidative damage in double stranded DNA (2007)
Journal Article

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been investigated as possible sensors to identify γ-irradiation induced oxidative damage in double stranded (ds) DNA. Studies were undertaken to explore the possibility of using both cyclic voltammetry an...
