Traumatised adults have been rather neglected in policy on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in comparison with children. Yet the key message from the original ACE studies was the need to change the way adults with ill health are heard, understood, diagnosed and treated. Within ACEs policy, childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has also had marginal attention. This paper traces how adult survivors of CSA provided the spark for the first and subsequent ACE studies, describing the serious mental and physical health issues this trauma can bring throughout the lifecourse. It raises the possibility that some of the original ten ACEs may be more impactful to health and wellbeing over the lifecourse than others and should receive greater priority in terms of prevention and recovery. A series of questions is asked about how physical and mental health services are responding, and how they may need to be monitored in order to fully integrate the needs of CSA survivors into current Scottish ACEs policy.

Public concern about anthropogenic climate change has grown over the last decade,and world governments have ramped up efforts to meet the challenge. The UnitedKingdom recently pledged to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. While ambitiousmitigation goals indicate the right intentions, the target's success depends on theefficacy of the government's climate policies. National and international climate strate-gies are dominated by research into low-carbon energy sources, and programmes tocharge large emitters. These strategies have solid foundations in economic theory butare hamstrung by slow rates of diffusion of new technologies and industry oppositionto carbon taxes. Drawing on the increasing public support for drastic climate action,policymakers should implement interventions that focus on reducing consumers' de-mand for energy and other carbon-intensive products. These consumer-facing policieswould enable meaningful individual action, complement existing climate interventionsand widen the government's avenues to net zero.

Sarah Nelson, recognized as one of the key figures in studying gender in the ancient world and women in archaeology, brings together much of the work she has done over three decades into a single volume. The book covers her theoretical contributions, her extensive studies of gender in the archaeology of East Asia, and her literary work on the subject. Included with the selections of her writing--taken from diverse articles and books published in a variety of places--is an illuminating commentary about the development of her professional and personal understanding of how gender plays out in ancient societies and modern universities and her current thinking on both topics.
