This response was very nearly 100% and manifested friendly interest and kindly co-operation. Very especial thanks are due to HAROLD AKER NOBLE (Uncle John's family). He with his mother had undertaken a study of the family many years ago and as a result he had an immense amount of data that he made available for this publication. Moreover he had developed a skill for genealogy, and he kept that skill in operation during the preparation of this study. Recent research by him uncovered such valuable new information as the birth, marriage and death dates of DAVID and SARAH FRY NOBLE. Though this work was begun back about 1900, little was done on it until about 1960. Then as it proceeded, especially valuable helpers were found in all the families of the sons and daugh­ ters of DAVID JOHNSON and SARAH RADER NOBLE. They afforded help so valuable as to merit special mention here. These helpers were: In the JOHN MONROE NOBLE Family: In addition to HAROLD AKER NOBLE, RUTH FRANK HALLAND, EMERSON LEE KNISPEL, ORIN WESLEY GUMBRILL, MILDRED NOBLE COOK, CLARA NOBLE PORTER, HELEN PORTER AYRES, MARY JOHNSON MILLER, RAY EMERSON NOBLE AND DWIGHT MONROE NOBLE. In the LEROY NOBLE Family: RUTH STEVENS HARRIS, HAROLD C. STEVENS, RACHEL NOBLE HOLMES, WARREN NICHOLSON NOBLE and LEROY KLDDOO NOBLE. In the HARVEY NOBLE Family: RUTH GILMORE STRONKS, VERNE SHAW MESSER, LOREZE SHAW RICHARDSON, HATTIE CHRISTENSEN NOBLE and HARVARD NEWTON NOBLE. In the NATHAN NOBLE Family: LUCILE NOBLE THOMPSON, LOIS NOBLE SIMPSON, BETTY HENDERSON BRUCE, ROBERT JOSEPH NOBLE and EDYTHE NOBLE BASHAM. In the SARAH NOBLE GODING Family: ELIZABETH McMURTRY SNYDER, CHARLOTTE VANCLEVE McKEOWN, MARGARET VAN CL EVE, KAREEN BISHOPRIC K, CAROL STEVENS HANCOCK and BESSIE SHAW GODING. In the DORA NOBLE DANFORD Family: FRED DWIGHT DANFORD and THORNTON NOBLE DANFORD. In the ROBERT V. NOBLE Family: STACY GRAINGER ADAMS. In the JAMES JOHNSON NOBLE Family: GERALD CLEVELAND BALDWIN and JEANNE EMPSON NICHOLSON. You air have my warmest thanks and deepest appreciation. Robert Melville Danford THE NOBLES AND THE RADERS PIONEER SETTLERS OF MERCER COUNTY ILLINOIS Introductory and Prefatory The desire to describe a childhood that afforded not only a wonderful happiness for the child­ ren involved, but also their exposure to a wholesome, industrious and highly devout atmosphere during the formative period of their lives, impelled me to picture insofar as I am able the child­ hood of the grandchildren of DAVID JOHNSON and SARAH RADER NOBLE. Down through the years, with urban life on an impressive increase, and rural life on as great and lamentable a decline, it has many times occurred to me that such families and such happi­ ness are rarely found in today's crowded and hustling age. On completing this dissertation however, led on as was the case by one happy memory after another, I discover that although it may very well reflect the kind of childhood that we all en­ joyed together, it will be pronounced more of an autobiography than the story of a family. How­ ever, rather than making an attempt to rewrite and modify it, may I charge that the reader, whoever he or she may be, is not required to read it either in whole or in part, but is at perfect liberty to skip it and to charge the pleasure of reciting it to one who, as the oldest surviving member of the Golden Wedding Group, is at an appropriate age to be living in his second child­ hood! To somewhat clarify the story that follows, a summary outline of the family is presented herewith: MY FAMILY My mother was DORA NOBLE, and her family was as follows: DAVID JOHNSON NOBLE, b. May 1, 1818 Fayette County, Indiana d. December 11, 1897 Old Homestead New Boston, Illinois aged 79 years, 7 months and 10 days, m. July 5, 1840 New Boston, Illinois, to SARAH RADER, who was b.

    The Green Scare: Radical environmental activism and the invention of “eco-terror- ism” in American superhero comics from 1970 to 1990 by Brendan James Lacy A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi llment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Brendan James Lacy 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract American environmentalism became a recognizable social move- ment in the 1960s. In the following two decades the movement evolved to represent a diverse set of philosophies and developed new protest methods. In the early 1990s law enforcement and govern- ment offi cials in America, with support from extraction industries, created an image of the radical environmental movement as danger- ous “eco-terrorists.” Th e concept was deployed in an eff ort to de-val- ue the environmental movement’s position at a time of heightened environmental consciousness. With the concept in place members of the movement became easier to detain and the public easier to deter through political repression. Th e concept of “eco-terrorism” enters popular media relatively quickly indicated by the proliferation of superhero comics in the ear- ly 1990s that present villainous environmental activists as “eco-ter- rorists.” Th is imagery contrasts comics from 1970 which depicted superheroes as working alongside activists for the betterment of the world.

With the legislation, backed by the California New Car Dealers Association, going to the gov- ernor’s desk for the second time in two years, auto dealers say they hope their effort won’t end in a veto this time.

  • Redeeming the Truth
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Laura Suzanne York 2013 © Copyright by Laura Suzanne York 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases by Laura Suzanne York Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Muriel C. McClendon, Chair By its very nature as a “book of the world”—a product simultaneously artistic and intellectual—the world atlas of the seventeenth century promoted a totalizing global view designed to inform, educate, and delight readers by describing the entire world through science and imagination, mathematics and wonder. Yet early modern atlas makers faced two important challenges to commercial success. First, there were many similar products available from competitors at home and abroad. Secondly, they faced consumer skepticism about the authority of any work claiming to describe the entire world, in the period before standards of publishing credibility were established, and before the transition from trust in premodern geographic authorities to trust in modern authorities was complete. ii This study argues that commercial world atlas compilers of London and Paris strove to meet these challenges through marketing strategies of authorial self-presentation designed to promote their authority to create a trustworthy world atlas. It identifies and examines several key personas that, deployed through atlas texts and portraits, together formed a self-presentation asserting the atlas producer’s cultural authority.
