  • MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY of MONMOUTH and the REASONS for HIS FALSIFICATION of HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012
    MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH AND THE REASONS FOR HIS FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012 i ABSTRACT This paper examines The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, with the aim of understanding his motivations for writing a false history and presenting it as genuine. It includes a brief overview of the political context of the book at the time during which it was first introduced to the public, in order to help readers unfamiliar with the era to understand how the book fit into the world of twelfth century England, and why it had the impact that it did. Following that is a brief summary of the book itself, and finally a summary of the secondary literature as it pertains to Geoffrey’s motivations. It concludes with the claim that all proposed motives are plausible, and may all have been true at various points in Geoffrey’s career, as the changing times may have forced him to promote the book for different reasons, and under different circumstances than he may have originally intended.

Vision Monmouth recognises that these ambitions need to be delivered through partnerships, involving and apportioning responsibility to those best placed to deliver, and ensuring that the collective skills, resources and knowledge of the town are employed to produce the most successful results. Vision Monmouth is not intended to be a strategic document but a summary of the key aspirations jointly held by partner organisations within the town.

  • OWEB 212-2044 Comp Report
    1 Coho Life History in Tide Gated Lowland Coastal Streams OWEB Grant 212-2044 Project Completion Report Submitted by Coos Watershed Association March 13, 2015 Project Summary Coos Watershed Association’s (CoosWA) coho Life Cycle Monitoring Project (LCM) is a continuation of a long-term monitoring study initiated in 2004 to examine coho salmon abundance, survival, life histories and habitat use in two tide gated coastal lowland streams, Larson and Palouse Creeks. Productive utilization of these remarkable habitat types is critical for the recovery and sustainability of Oregon Coastal coho. Specifically, this project developed, and adapted innovative mark recapture techniques using PIT tags to monitor the coho life cycle, further evaluated over-winter rearing strategies in relation to temporal and spatial habitat use and continued project effectiveness monitoring in these study streams. In addition, coho diet analyses were designed and conducted and will be analyzed in relation to seasonal and diurnal variations in environmental factors in order to assess proximal causes of habitat productivity. Background Study Area. Palouse and Larson Creeks are two third order lowland streams that flow into Haynes inlet, the northern most portion of the estuary in Coos Bay, Oregon (Figure 1). Each stream is tide gated at its confluence with the Coos Bay estuary along the dike that supports North Bay Road. Palouse Creek is controlled by two top-hinged gates and Larson Creek has two side-hinged gates. Palouse Creek is 14.6 km long, and has a natural barrier to coho at river kilometer (RKm) 12.1. The Larson Creek mainstem is 12.9 km in length.
