Details the political philosophy of Thomas Hill Green (1836-1882), Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923), R. G. Collingwood (1889-1943), & Michael Oakeshott (1901-1990). Green is seen by most at the founder of British Idealism, & why he remains important to contemporary scholarship is demonstrated. Renewed interest in Bosanquet is seen to have led to scholarly revisiting of British idealism. His political views, ethics, philosophy of history, metaphysics, religion, & relation to other Idealist philosophers of his time are considered. It is asserted that current interest in Bosanquet is not limited to the historical as his thought has played a role in work on liberalism; human rights, citizenship, & multiculturalism; & law & ethics. It was not until the 1980s that interest in Collingwood's political philosophy quickened; attention is given to his "philosophy of civilization." Oakeshott is viewed as the last of the great 20th-century Idealists. The key literature on him is scrutinized. Interest in his work was spurred by his Rationalization in Politics and Other Essays (1962), while his On Human Conduct (1975) brought him international note. 228 References. J. Zendejas

Sea‐level rise sits at the frontier of usable climate climate change research, because it involves natural and human systems with long lags, irreversible losses, and deep uncertainty. For example, many of the measures to adapt to sea‐level rise involve infrastructure and land‐use decisions, which can have multigenerational lifetimes and will further influence responses in both natural and human systems. Thus, sea‐level science has increasingly grappled with the implications of (1) deep uncertainty in future climate system projections, particularly of human emissions and ice sheet dynamics; (2) the overlay of slow trends and high‐frequency variability (e.g., tides and storms) that give rise to many of the most relevant impacts; (3) the effects of changing sea level on the physical exposure and vulnerability of ecological and socioeconomic systems; and (4) the challenges of engaging stakeholder communities with the scientific process in a way that genuinely increases the utility of the science for adaptation decision making. Much fundamental climate system research remains to be done, but many of the most critical issues sit at the intersection of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, decision science, and political economy. Addressing these issues demands a better understanding of the coupled interactions of mean and extreme sea levels, coastal geomorphology, economics, and migration; decision‐first approaches that identify and focus research upon those scientific uncertainties most relevant to concrete adaptation choices; and a political economy that allows usable science to become used science.
