In 1980, Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government passed its famous Housing Act. This gave five million council house tenants in England and Wales the ‘Right to Buy’ their house from their local authority at a discount reflecting rent previously paid.

By Amy Willis Verified
| Shedoesthecity Verified
My dad died suddenly five years ago, and to say it was an enormous shock would be an understatement. We don’t know exactly why he died, but I know that his severe dependency on alcohol played a major role in his untimely death. I know this because my dad was a heavy drinker my entire life. He abused his body for years. You can only ask your body to process poison for so long before it says no. His passing forced me to closely examine my own relationship with booze.

Continental igneous rock composition: A major control of past global chemical weathering

| Science Magazine Verified
The composition of igneous rocks in the continental crust has changed throughout Earth’s history. However, the impact of these compositional variations on chemical weathering, and by extension on seawater and atmosphere evolution, is largely unknown. We use the strontium isotope ratio in seawater [(87Sr/86Sr) ] as a proxy for chemical weathering, and we test the sensitivity of (87Sr/86Sr) variations to the strontium isotopic composition (87Sr/86Sr) in igneous rocks generated through time.
