Box 338 Kingston, RI 02881 401-783-8853 2 Stuart Chases’s Use Of Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, (1874) There are two very specific reasons why this piece was researched and written. The first is a continuation of my work done on Stuart Chase (various publications). I am still hopeful my efforts will inspire an historian to do a 1000 page biography on Stuart Chase. The second is further example why my idea of using Verne’s book as the basis for a one-day management seminar is worth trying. I’ve explored this idea with a number of friends and hope that this piece will take at least one of them to try this idea. I am classifying this as a casual piece and have no interest in this being written for a vigorous academic review.

Captain Nemo/Lt-General Pitt Rivers and Cleopatra’s Needle — A Story of Flagships Christopher Evans ([email protected]) Recently re-reading Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea for our children I was struck by the marked similarities between the novel’s elusive protagonist, Captain Nemo, and the renowned later 19th century British archaeologist, Lt.-General Pitt Rivers. Could they have been the same person? How could something so seemingly blatant have gone unnoticed? These questions are, of course, only raised in a spirit of academic tongue-in-check. Yet, in an ethos of ‘learning through amusement’ (itself directly relevant to the themes of this study), exploring the parallels between these two ‘heroic’ individuals provides insights into the nature of 19th century science, Victorian edification and disciplinary institutionalisation (e.g. Levine 1986). This eclectic contribution will, moreover, be introduced with the third component of its headline title – Cleopatra’s Needle – as this provides an appropriately quasi- nautical parable on the project of 19th century archaeology and the problem of ‘deep time’ (Murray 1993).

The author considers its URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1015187ar origins as a literary genre and the screen adaptations that followed. Emphasis DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1015187ar is placed on how “island TV” employed a television aesthetic that ranged from an earlier conventional approach, using three cameras, studio locations, and See table of contents narrative resolution in each episode, to open-ended storylines employing a cinematic style that exploits the new generation of widescreen televisions, especially with the advent of HDTV. Two case studies centre the argument: Gilligan’s Island as an example of the former, more conventional aesthetic, and Publisher(s) Lost as an example of the new approach. Although both series became Cinémas exceedingly popular, other notable programs are considered, two of which involved Canadian production teams: Swiss Family Robinson and The Mysterious Island. Finally, connections are drawn between robinsonnades and ISSN the emerging post-apocalyptic genre as it has moved from cinema to television. 1181-6945 (print) 1705-6500 (digital) Explore this journal Cite this article Heyer, P.

Jules Verne's Civil War The Blockade Runners (1871) by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island (1875) by Jules Verne North Against South (1887) by Jules Verne Do you know where and when Nemo, inventor and captain of the famed Nautilus submarine, died? I suppose I should first answer your own question: What has that question to do with the American Civil War? You probably didn't know, as I didn't know until a few days ago, that Jules Verne wrote two Civil War novels within ten years of the end of the war: The Blockade Runners (1871) and The Mysterious Island (1875), a sequel to Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870). Twelve years later, this French admirer of President Lincoln and General Grant published a third Civil War novel, North Against South. Answer: It was on Mysterious Island that Captain Nemo died. Although it was later published, illustrated, and is even now in print, The Blockade Runners is often not even listed as one of Verne's nearly 100 books, probably because it is really a 76-page novella first published in a book as an add-on to A Floating City (1871).

INTRODUCTION The early to mid-1800s was an era of tremendous cultural and socio­ political change for Hawai'i and its native people. A wave of outside influences swept through the islands, inundating the ruling ali'i (chiefs) as well as the maka'ainana (commoners). In addition to many new technologies and materials, this wave introduced ideologies, cultural norms and worldviews foreign to Hawai'i. The establishment of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, with its adoption of and adaptation to "modem" forms of government and policy, represented a fundamental change to Hawaiian society. The ruling ali'i struggled to maintain the sovereignty of their islands in the midst of foreign attempts to gain control over the lands and resources of Hawai'i. Policies implemented during these difficult years may have been a mix of policies that the ali'i were pressured to implement and others ali'i strategically implemented in their attempts to secure their nation's political and cultural future. One of those policies -- the surveying and mapping of Kingdom lands -- not only had political and economic implications, but affected traditional Hawaiian concepts of land di vision and palena (place boundaries). Scholars have suggested that western surveys and maps are tools used to aid "colonizers" in the dispossession of native people from their native lands.

  • Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository Small States and the Challenge of Sovereignty: Commonwealth Caribbean Offshore Financial Centers and Tax Competition William B. Vlcek Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations The London School of Economics and Political Science University of London 2006 ABSTRACT The dynamics of inter-state relations and state sovereignty have been disturbed by late-20th century globalisation. Yet the literature on the international system, globalisation and international political economy gives scant attention to the most vulnerable sovereign entities, the small and micro states. One significant exception has been the Commonwealth, with its many small state members. Another is the area of financial crime, and the role of the offshore financial centre (OFC) within global finance. This thesis analyses the efforts of several small Commonwealth states from the Caribbean to maintain their OFCs in the face of an OECD-directed campaign against tax competition. It demonstrates both the contribution made to economic development by an OFC and the successful assertion of sovereignty achieved by these small states. The case study focuses on Caribbean OFCs and the OECD campaign against harmful tax competition during 1998 - 2003. First, the argument that tax competition is a global problem is deconstructed. Three main points from the small states’ response to the OECD position are explored, along with the OECD’s rebuttal. Because the small states are individually at a disadvantage, the thesis provides an exposition of the collective response facilitated by the Commonwealth.

Though the periods surrounding Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and the Crimean War have been studied in detail, the period between the end of the Crimean War (1856) and the beginning of the Franco-Russian alliance (1894) is rarely or summarily treated. This time span, however, marked a critical transition in Franco- Russian relations, as well as changes in French national identity as France passed from the Second Empire to the Third Republic. This dissertation is a study of France’s print culture representations of Russia—with Russia functioning as a prism of sorts through which to see France—that bring to light aspects of France’s construction of itself.

  • Missionaries to Government Service
    Missionaries to Government Service Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in the Hawaiian Islands. A few of the missionaries left the mission and ultimately worked for the Hawaiian Government; for the most part, they left the mission because the King asked for their assistance working directly for the Kingdom. These included William Richards, Gerritt P Judd, Lorrin Andrews and Richard Armstrong. William Richards William Richards was the first to leave. King Kamehameha III and chiefs, who felt the need of reform in their government, asked Richards to become their teacher, chaplain and interpreter. With the consent of the ABCFM, he accepted this position and resigned his appointment as missionary and then spent his time urging the improvement of the political system. William Richards, the seventh child and third son of James and Lydia (Shaw) Richards, was born at Plainfield, Massachusetts, August 22, 1793. His grandparents were Joseph and Sarah (Whitmarsh) Richards, and Captain Ebenezer and Ann (Molson) Shaw. The Richards family is descended from William Richards, who came to Plymouth before 1633, and ultimately settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts. William was a younger brother of James Richards, Jr. In the summer of 1806, in a grove of trees, in what was then known as Sloan's Meadow at Williams College, James Richards, Samuel John Mills, Francis L Robbins, Harvey Loomis and Byram Green debated the theology of missionary service.
