Chronic illness, vulnerability and social work: Autoimmunity in the contemporary disease experience (2015)
Book
Price, L., & Walker, L. (2015). Chronic illness, vulnerability and social work: Autoimmunity in the contemporary disease experience. Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge

Whilst the body has recently assumed greater sociological significance, there has been less engagement in social work and social care on the bodily experience of health, illness and disease. This innovative volume redresses the balance by exploring c... Read More about Chronic illness, vulnerability and social work: Autoimmunity in the contemporary disease experience.

Integrated microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems for F-18 radiotracer synthesis, purification and quality control (2015)

The evolution of parental care in insects: a test of current hypotheses (2015)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. D. J., & Manica, A. (2015). The evolution of parental care in insects: a test of current hypotheses. Evolution, 69(5), 1255-1270. https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12656

Which sex should care for offspring is a fundamental question in evolution. Invertebrates, and insects in particular, show some of the most diverse kinds of parental care of all animals, but to date there has been no broad comparative study of the ev...

CESL, cross-border transactions and domestic law : why a dual approach could work (although CESL might not) (2015)
Journal Article

This article explores the case for legislation that focuses specifically on cross-border consumer transactions in the internal market. It argues that the existence of two parallel regimes (domestic and cross-border) is a positive step because the cro...
