Only in Europe and Japan is population possibly stabilizing. Elsewhere, the sheer number of humans is affecting biodiversity in an unsustainable way. [-] UK, 004 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There still appear to be very little attention given to the continued growth of the global human population, compared to more readily soluble issues such as climate change. [6.Population] UK, 006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are so many rapid and adverse environmental changes taking place around me that nostalgia only leads to such a dismay that I do not want to live any longer. -

Rights Guide
COUNTERPOINT | SOFT SKULL FRANKFURT 2012 | RIGHTS GUIDE CONTACT US: Rights: Judy Klein, Kleinworks Agency [email protected] Liz Parker, Publishing Manager [email protected] HOT LIST Counterpoint | Soft Skull MOTHERLAND by Maria Hummel World English | FICTION | January 2014 | Counterpoint | MSS February 2013 Lifted from the stories of the author’s father and his German childhood and letters be- tween her grandparents that were hidden in an attic wall for fifty years,Motherland focuses on a German family during WWII: a reconstructive surgeon loses his wife in childbirth and two months later marries a young woman who must look after the baby and his two griev- ing sons when he is drafted into medical military service. We follow her attempts to keep them safe as their German city is bombed by the Allies, their town is faced with the swell- ing population of desperate refugees, and one son begins to mentally unravel. Each family member’s fateful choices lead them deeper into questions of complicity and innocence, to the novel’s unforgettable conclusion. Maria Hummel is a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and her work has appeared in Ploughshares, The Sun, The Believer and has won a Pushcart Prize. Her first novel,Wilderness Run (SMP, 2002) was an alternate selection of Doubleday Lit Guild. Remaining Rights: Brandt & Hochman PEERLESS FOUR by Victoria Patterson World English | FICTION | November 2013 | Counterpoint | MSS January 2013 This slender yet powerful novel reimagines the true story of four young women who were among the first females to ever compete in the Olympic Games. It was the summer of 1928, and Valerie Patterson sensitively captures the time and place, the drama and the desire, the glory and the catastrophe of how these girls got there and what happened to them in Amsterdam that year. -

THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY By Thomas G. Bradbeer M.A., University of Saint Mary, 1999 Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ___________________ Chairperson Theodore A. Wilson, PhD Committee members ____________________ Jonathan H. Earle, PhD ____________________ Adrian R. Lewis, PhD ____________________ Brent J. Steele, PhD ____________________ Jacob Kipp, PhD Date defended: March 28, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Thomas G. Bradbeer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY ___________________ Chairperson Theodore A. Wilson, PhD Date approved March 28, 2011 ii THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME, APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY ABSTRACT The Battle of the Somme was Britain’s first major offensive of the First World War. Just about every facet of the campaign has been analyzed and reexamined. However, one area of the battle that has been little explored is the second battle which took place simultaneously to the one on the ground. This second battle occurred in the skies above the Somme, where for the first time in the history of warfare a deliberate air campaign was planned and executed to support ground operations. The British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was tasked with achieving air superiority over the Somme sector before the British Fourth Army attacked to start the ground offensive. -
Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography. -
