  • S.S. Collection
    PATRICK J. KEARNEY & DAVID BOOTHROYD NOTES TOWARDS A CATALOGUE OF THE BRITISH LIBRARY ’S S.S. COLLECTION LONDON & SANTA ROSA 2013 Introduction The Discovery: The S.S. collection is an informally catalogued accumula- tion of books, periodicals and other material that has for a va- riety reasons, to be described below, been suppressed and is kept from public access. The first open discussion of the S.S. of any significance appeared in Peter Fryer’s Private Case, Public Scandal (1966), a marvellous little polemic that grew out of research he was doing towards a history of contraception. 1 Fryer found that a number of books he needed to refer to in the course of his work were kept in the British Library’s Private Case, their extensive erotica collection. 2 Unlike most other national or academic libraries that have erotic or obscene material on their shelves, the British Library did not include it in their General Catalogue, but did maintain a separate and effectively secret catalogue of it, a copy of which was kept at the issuing desk in the Reading Room. A reader who was persistent enough could find out if a book he wanted was in the Private Case, and pro- vided he could establish a good enough reason to see it would be given to him or her. 3 Below the level of the Private Case, though, Fryer found an even more closely guarded cache of books, which he be- came aware of when investigating Charles Bradlaugh M.P., a radical Victorian champion of woman’s suffrage and contra- ception, who was libelled in an 1888 biography of him by Charles R.

Indeed, one of the few phrases for which he is remembered – ‘the unpleasant and unacceptable face of capitalism’1 – appears to have been unintended, the mistaken product of a mixture of vanity and myopia. In 1973, in a Commons debate on the talks taking place between the TUC and the CBI about inflation, Heath was asked to condemn the practices of Lonrho.2 Although he was short-sighted, Heath was loathe to wear glasses and he couldn’t quite make out the words on the script provided by Number 10: ‘This is an unpleasant and unacceptable facet of capitalism’.3 By omitting the ‘t’, he unwittingly coined a phrase which continues to be wheeled out when particularly egregious corporate scandals come to light.

    THE CONTINGENCY PERSPECTIVE: MNC-PERSONAL RULE RELATIONSHIPS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA - THE CASE OF LONRHO By KIMBERLEY LYNN THACHUK B.A., The University of British Columbia, 19B5 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Political Science) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1989 ® Kimberley Lynn Thachuk, 1989 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract This thesis attempts to reveal the relationship between multinational corporations and the personally ruled states of sub-Saharan Africa. African politics are based on private power where individual loyalties and fear compliment a system of material incentives in replacing institutions of effective government. Because individuals in a position of power rather than being guided by rules of office are motivated by expediency and the pursuit of personal and factional aggrandizement, they must often be courted, cajoled, convinced, and even bribed to agree to circumstances or procedures that are generally institutionalized processes in many industrialized states.

  • Thesis 11-9-13 Walker and Sian Corrections
    THE RISE AND FALL OF COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNTING THEORIES: R. J. CHAMBERS AND CONTINUOUSLY CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTING By Martin Emanuel Persson Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at Royal Holloway, University of London. July 2013 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Martin Emanuel Persson, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 02-07-13 2 To Anh and all the things we have yet to do 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A letter from Stephen Zeff to Raymond J. Chambers fell off a boat delivering mail between Fiji and Australia in the 1970s. The letter was never recovered. My experience when I began my doctoral studies was similar to that of this letter, and I surely would not have been recovered had it not been for the people around me. I want to thank my supervisor Christopher Napier and my advisor Chris Nobes. Their guidance has helped me write the best possible dissertation that I could muster. Napier, in particular, fielded over 400 emails and held more meetings than I can count during a three-year period. I also want to give special thanks to Graeme Dean and Stephen Zeff. I would not have been able to access much of the data used in this dissertation without their assistance and their invitations for me to visit the University of Sydney and Rice University, respectively. I hope that they will be able to derive some pleasure from reading the final product of their hard work.
