An overview of Journal of Land Use Science by the Editor, Richard AspinallThe study of the nature of land use and land cover, their changes over space and time, and the processes that produce these patterns and changes can be termed 'land use science'. Land use science is necessarily an interdisciplinary science since land uses are influenced by, and influence, environmental, ecological, social and economic systems through a complex series of natural and socio-economic processes, including management and decision making.Land use science, therefore, adopts an integrated approach that couples natural and human systems and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between social, economic, behavioural, environmental, ecological, biological and atmospheric scientists. Land use scientists must also draw on a broad range of interdisciplinary scientific methodologies and enabling technologies.Potential areas for submission would include - the dynamics of change the integration and feedbacks between land use, climate, socio-economic, and ecological systems the resilience, vulnerability, adaptability and sustainability of land use systems the linkages of natural and human systems relationships between land use and land cover spatial and temporal scale issues accuracy issues evolving public and private land management questions and decisions new data and information and improved scientific bases for decision-making related to land use interpretation and communication of scientific knowledge for adaptive management of land use systems human responses to land use change explicit management of uncertainties and definition of the limits to applicability of land use change projections and other analyses, particularly as translated into decision support and participatory approaches Readership The Journal of Land Use Science will be of interest to those in a broad suite of disciplines including agricultural science, animal science, anthropology, decision science, ecology, economics, environmental science, forestry, geography, GIS, landscape ecology, planning, regional science, remote sensing, and sustainability science. ---Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science PublicationsTaylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The Journal of Language and Politics (JLP) represents a forum for analysing and discussing the various dimensions in the interplay of language and politics. The basic assumption is that the language of politics cannot be separated from the politics of language. The notion of ’Political Discourse’ does not remain limited to the ’institutional’ field of politics (e.g. parliamentary discourse, election campaigns, party programmes, speeches, etc.) but opens to all linguistic manifestations that may be considered to be political, provided that it is convincingly argued what makes them ’political’. In order to illuminate new and old forms of political discourses inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives and elaborated linguistic methodologies have to complement each other.Articles should bring together sociological concepts, political theories, and historical analysis. Methodologies can be qualitative or quantitative and must be well grounded in linguistics or other relevant disciplines. They may focus on different dimensions (pragmatics, semantics, social cognition, semiotics) of political discourse. Since political discourses overlap with other discourses, e.g. economic and scientific discourses, perspectives of interdiscursivity and intertextuality are considered to be important. Articles based on ethnographic studies will be particularly welcome.The Journal of Language and Politics welcomes review papers of any research monograph or edited volume which takes a discourse-analytical approach to the study of language and politics, as broadly conceived above. If you are interested in reviewing any recent, relevant text please email Christopher.hartATnorthumbria.ac.uk and we can arrange for a copy to be sent to you.The Journal of Language and Politics is associated with the book series Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society, and Culture, edited by Ruth Wodak and Greg Myers.This journal is peer reviewed and indexed in: IBR/IBZ, International Political Science Abstracts, and in the following Thomson Reuters (ISI) services: Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, Social Scisearch, Journals Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition, Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences, Current Contents/Arts & Humanities, European Reference Index for the Humanities, LLBA, TSA OnlineSample issue: JLP 7:1 .
