There were stories that it had once been more attractive, but that had been so long ago that no one remembered the time. It stood back in its gloomy, narrow strips of uncared-for, smoky gardens, whose broken iron railings were supposed to protect it from the surging traffic of a road which was always roaring with the rattle of busses, cabs, drays, and vans, and the passing of people who were shabbily dressed and looked as if they were either going to hard work or coming from it, or hurrying to see if they could find some of it to do to keep themselves from going hungry.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

    Múnera-Roldán & Córdoba-Córdoba 1 Boletín SAO Vol. XVII Arte de ilustrar Aves (No. 01) – Julio 2007 – Pag: 1-9 El arte de ilustrar Aves, una breve reseña de la historia del arte en la ornitología Claudia Múnera-Roldán A & Sergio Córdoba-Córdoba B A Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos “Alexander von Humboldt”, Diagonal 27 # 15-09, Bogotá - Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] B Asociación Bogotana de Ornitología – ABO, Calle 52 A # 9-72 Apto. 201, Bogotá –Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen La historia de la ornitología a nivel mundial ha estado muy ligada a la historia de la ilustración científica. Desde épocas antiguas la ilustración nos brinda una visión de las aves en la cultura, apoyo en descripciones morfológicas, comportamiento, descubrimiento de especies nuevas y su clasificación, hasta nuestras guías de identificación de aves en campo y obras de gran valor artístico en si mismas. El desarrollo de la imprenta y su evolución ha permitido que los trabajos científicos junto con ilustraciones científicas cumplan su cometido a lo largo de la historia, lo cual ha sido determinante en el desarrollo de la ornitología como ciencia en el mundo. En Colombia, la ilustración ornitológica – científica también ha sido relevante para el desarrollo de la ornitología en el país. Palabras clave : Aves, historia de la ilustración, historia ornitología, ilustración científica. Abstract History of ornithology is bound to history of scientific illustration. Since ancient times illustration has offered us a vision of birds in culture, as support for morphological descriptions, behavior, discovery of new species and bird classifications, up to birding guides and a wealth of artistic works of great value in themselves.

The city was gay with flags, and crowds lined the streets lead­ ing to the waterside where a large concourse had assembled to witness the launching of the iron screw steamer, Great Britain, by the Prince Consort. A public holiday had been proclaimed, and there was disappointment when, the ship having been duly launched, it was found that the dock gates through which she was to pass were too small to allow her exit.
