Parents of lads entering their teens-the doubting stage-should make a point of placing a copy in their hands."-Daily Mail, 26th January, 1920. "Really excellent little work."-Daily News, 26th Sept., 1902. "We welcome a new edition.... The appeal of the book is evidently one to common sense, and the success it has met is fully deserved. There'is a healthy lay atmosphere about Col. Turton's arguments which renders them we fancy peculiarly effective."-Pall Mall Gazette, 11th March, 1907. "It is difficult to know whether to admire most the logical precision with which he marshals his facts and enforces his conclusions, or the charming candour, and freshness of style, which make his book so readable."-Liverpool Daily Post, 14th March, 1907. "This is a new edition, thoroughly revised, of Lt.-Col. Turton's famous book .... We are specially struck with the detached manner in which he examines the case, he holds the scales evenly and is not rhetorical. Any one who has any power of reasoning at all can follow him clearly from start to finish."-Bristol Times and Mirror, 18th Feb., 1907. "It is a book for the hour, and needs to be circulated by thousands . straightforward, manly, and convincing."-Schoolmaster, 27th March, 1909. "This well-reasoned work appeals to common sense, it is candid and convincing."-Labour News, 16th Jan., 1925. Church of England. "Nothing need be added to our previous commendations of a work which has proved singularly serviceable, except to remark with appro- bation that its price has been lowered."-Church Times, 12th Dec., 1919. "We have repeatedly expressed our sense of the merit of Col. Turton's book."-Guardian, 9th Dec., 1908. "We must be content to emphasize our formerly expressed convic- tion of its exceptional clearness and value .... It deserves to be pointed out in more than a word, that every new edition is really such in a special degree. Col. Turton seems to devote the greater part of his leisure to the perfecting of his work, and never to be satisfied. Thus a thought is developed here, an argument strengthened there, and fresh illustrations are added as one edition succeeds another."-English Churchman, 12th Dec., 1912. "The book covers a wide range, is carefully and lucidly written, takes into account recent discussions and makes a deep impression on the mind."-Record. 16th Sept., 1926. "We give a hearty welcome to this revised edition. It is admirabl) suited for general use."-Churchman, Feb., 1909. "There is no padding and no unnecessary rhetoric. All the available space is filled with good solid reasoning, put in simple language which an intelligent artisan can follow as easily as an educated person."- Church Family Newspaper, 3rd Oct., 1902. "Few works of Christian apologetic have proved so useful. All the argument is lucid, and no questionable assumptions are intro- duced."-Commoiwealth, May, 1926. "This is a text book on Christian Evidence we would readily place in the hands of the lay worker as an essential part of his equipment." -Lay Reader, Dec., 1912. "We very heartily commend the new edition. We do not know of any other volume that places the facts of the Christian Faith in quite so clear a light."-Church Monthly, Feb., 1926. "This very excellent volume ... We strongly recommend this book to the Clergy for their own use and for lending to thoughtful and painstaking readers."-Church Union Gazette, Jan., 1901. "It is one of the best books of its class, readable, candid, convincing and thorough. It would be cheering news to hear that it had been widely read. The book will continue to make its way; and all Chris- tians will rejoice that it should do so."-Church Intelligencer, Oct., 1905. "This is the kind of book which strengthens believers and makes converts. It is one which should be placed within the reach of every lad at that period of his life when he begins to think for himself."- The (Church Lads) Brigade, Oct., 1905. "We have never met with any book which can be more confidently recommended."--Church Army Review, Dec., 1925. "No one who teaches in Sunday School or Bible Class should be without this volume."-Girls' Friendly Society Workers' Journal, Dec., 1925. "He is thoroughly up,to-date. The newest facts and discoveries are pressed into his service. The result is a book that can be read with equal pleasure and profit."-Irish Churchman, 8th Jan., 1920. "There is no book of this class known to The Canadian Teacher so complete and conclusive. Every teacher should have a copy."- Canadian Teacher, Toronto, Dec., 1920. "Its excellent index makes it extraordinarily easy to lay one's finger upon any specific point; we tested it, for instance, on this point, the contrast between the Incarnation and Hinqu incarnations. In a moment we have been able to find the gist of the whole matter accurately stated in a few words."-Calcutta Diocesan Record, Jan., 1913.

  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air
    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

    MARINE TOURISM AND SHARKS: A CASE STUDY OF PROTEA BANKS by Gina Helene Sjursrether Submitted as partial ful film ent of the requirements for the degree of Master (co ursework) of En vironmental Management in the School of En vironmental Scienc es, Uni versity of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2005 As the candidate's superviso r I have / have not approved this thesis for submission. Sign ature: \::s\s~ - ,/:-t Name: GG 6c-<-\ J\., Date: 1- Ii 106 r I ABSTRACT Marine touri sm is an expanding segment of both international and domestic touri sm in KwaZulu-Natal and can be of valuable contribution to the national and local economy, but there are also concerns about its sustainability. Tw o of the most popular marine activities in KwaZulu-Natal are di ving and recreational fishing. However, these two different user groups can also create conflicts as they have very different user practic es in relati on to the same marine area ana its resources. While certain marin e regi ons along the coast have been declared marin e protected areas with site specific management plans, other popular marine areas remain almo st unmanaged. Shelly Beach on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal is the most popular boat launching site on the Natal coastlin e with both divers and recreational fishermen visiting a fossilised sand dune reef called Protea Banks which is situated 7 to 8 km off-shore from Shelly Beach. The reef is famous for its abundance of fish as the attraction for fishermen and big sharks attracting divers. A controversial topic in association with Protea Banks is its shark population.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.

  • Sugar-Coated Fortress: Representations of the Us Military in Hawai'!
    SUGAR-COATED FORTRESS: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE U. S. MILITARY IN HAWAI'!. A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEl\1BER 2004 By Brian Ireland Dissertation Committee: David Stannard, Chairperson Floyd Matson Robert Perkinson Kathy Ferguson Ira Rohter ABSTRACT Hawai'i is the most militarized state in the nation. There has always been opposition to the U.S. military presence in Hawai'i. However, critics ofthe military face a difficult task in getting their message across. Militarism has been so ingrained in Hawai'i that, to a large extent, the U.S. military presence has come to be seen as "natural," necessary, and almost totally beneficial. A result ofthis is that it has become both easy and comfortable to view current militarism in Hawai'i as natural, normal, ordinary, and expected. This dissertation shows how this seemingly normal state of affairs came to be. By examining various representations ofthe U.S. military in Hawai'i - in newspapers, movies, memorials, museums, and military writing - I expose how, in forms ofrepresentation, places ofremembrance, and the construction ofhow we speak and write about the military, militarism becomes the norm and, in turn, silences counter­ narratives. The dissertation examines four distinct time periods, 1778 to 1898 (from Captain Cook to the annexation ofHawai'i by the U.S.), 1898-1927 (the period in which the U.S. consolidated its hold on Hawai'i through cultural imperialism and military build-up), 1927-1969 (which saw the growth ofmass tourism, the Massie Case, the attack on Pearl Harbor, martial law and Statehood), and 1965-present (covering the post-Statehood years, the Vietnam War, increasing militarization ofHawai'i, the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement, and the Ehime Maru tragedy).

In terms of management of human fatalities, such a hypothesis would favor aban- doning general culling campaigns and replacing them with approaches that profile and selectively remove the potential problem individuals, as is done in the terrestrial realm when managing predators that attack humans or livestock.
