Yet as the restorative movement has grown it is increasingly being deployed in different arenas. Based on a two-year study funded by the UK National Lottery, this article provides an early glimpse into how people experience the introduction of restorativeness as cultural change within an organisational context. Using a combination of observation, in-depth interviews and focus groups, this research explores how different staff groups react to, adapt to and resist the introduction of a new ethos and language within their organisation. Drawing on the ideas of Bourdieu (1986), it appears that a new form of restorative cultural capital is emerging that threatens the very integrity of the values restorative justice claims to uphold. * We would like to thank all the staff at the Goodwin Development Trust for their time and help in conducting this research. Particular thanks must go to Kathryn Sowerby for her coordinating role at Goodwin and to Rebecca Shipley for her invaluable help on the project. We would also like to thank Keith Tester, Mark Johnson and Mike McCahill for their advice and comments on parts of this article.

It is also perhaps the least understood campaign of Edward III's reign, because of the loss of the army pay records. We know from chronicles that the men of Calais conducted a heroic defence of their town, and we know too that the English created and maintained an enormous logistical operation first to besiege and then to capture the port. What is little understood, however, is the scale, scope and chronology of the siege. The role played by English naval forces has received little attention, yet there is a series of pay records relating to their service which can compensate for the loss of the vadia guerre accounts and which can enrich understanding of the campaign. Using this evidence, this article reappraises the whole expedition, highlights the numbers of ships and mariners involved in the siege, and draws attention to periods of intensive military activity. Edward III's ultimate objective was to capture, hold and use the town as a safe port of disembarkation for future invasions.

It brings together a group of world-leading scholars, as well as some distinctive new voices, with research specialisms in commercial, social, legal, naval, and cultural aspects of maritime studies. Using the latest research the authors gathered here look beyond the traditional boundaries of maritime studies to offer authoritative overviews of key topics combined with penetrative examinations of maritime and ship-board communities, of the social and economic forces that underpinned Europeans’ and non-Europeans’ encounters with the seas. The volume also explores the part individuals and communities played in Europe’s maritime expansionism, and how accounts of activities and exploits were promulgated and promoted. The volume is divided into four broad thematic sections covering the material sea, historiography of the sea, social and political aspects and legal and religious frameworks and, finally, cultural appropriations in a wide range of genres and mediums. Richly illustrated, the essays in this volume cover subjects as wide-ranging as shipping technology, fishing, trade networks, naval activity, ship-board communities, legal and religious practices, as well as the cultural dimensions of the sea.
