Books read 1940 to 2018 (Chronological) 1 of 53 Books read by Peter between 1940 and 2018 (Chronological List) The list was compiled from a list begun in a notebook in 1969. From 2006/7, the list was continued in a file on the HP organiser and subsequent smart phones, backed up on my PC. The earlier entries from 1940 to 1969 were obtained by trawling through all the books in the house, and comparing with the later digitised entries. *** Many thanks to Patricia for her enthusiasm and help*** The list includes - biographies, histories, novels, the arctic, mountains, sailing, trains, travel and adventure. The list does NOT include - chemical, mathematical, computing and air quality and other scientific texts, hand and reference books, travel guides, etc., or school, town and Uni. library books read in the period before 1969. The dates including months - are from the written book lists made from 1969 - 2007, and the computer file from 2006 to the present. The dates with just years - are estimates made from memory for books from the shelves, mainly for books between 1940 to 1969. They correspond roughly to the periods: 1940-45, Primary school; 45-51, Grammar school; 51-53, AERE Harwell; 53-56, Birmingham; 56-59, Cambridge; 59-61, Princeton; 61-69, Keele. The Notes - are taken from the original lists and were mostly made when the entry was made. "Remembered" - denotes book not in the lists nor on the shelves, but simply recalled; mainly for childhood books. "re-read" - was a recollection of having read the book earlier; if the earlier read was itself in the lists, then there will be more than one entry for the book. The star ratings *, **, *** - were mostly made with the entry. They are sparse, mainly made in later years and hardly systematic! 1940 J.F.

    Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2019 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean

    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2019 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 12 December 2019 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 314 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2019 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (transits 149 and 167).
  • Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND and THIRD”

    Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND and THIRD”

    ! An Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD” Finest Hour 116, Autumn 2002 As Churchill’s daughter, Mary Soames had the run of 10 Downing Street and helped arrange dinner with Stalin. She talks to Graham Turner about eighty rich and varied years. Graham Turner is a journalist whom we knew years ago when he covered the motor industry and wrote a penetrating, oft-quoted book, The Leyland Papers. He has since moved to weightier subjects for the Daily Telegraph, by whose kind permission this article is reprinted. “I don’t think I was necessarily intended,” said Mary Soames, Winston and Clementine Churchill’s youngest daughter, “but I suppose I was the child of consolation. My parents were shattered when their third daughter, Marigold—who was only two and a half years old—died in 1921. It’s clear from letters my father wrote to my mother that, when I arrived the following year, he was delighted that the nursery had started again.” ! Mary Soames The way in which Marigold died was to have a decisive influence on Lady Soames’s own life. “Mummy had left her in the charge of a French nursery governess, Mademoiselle Rose, while she went to stay with the Duke and Duchess of Westminster at their home in Cheshire. Marigold, who was known as “Duckadilly” in the family, developed a very sore throat but, even when she became really ill, the governess still waited a day or two before sending for my mother. By that time, there was nothing even a specialist could do for her.

    SEADEVCON Maritime Award 2020 Goes to Professor Dr. Markus Rex

    SEADEVCON Maritime Award 2020 Goes to Professor Dr. Markus Rex Leader of largest polar expedition in history - MOSAiC project investigating Arctic as epicenter of global warming - Award presented by Arved Fuchs - “A game changer in climate research” - Prize winner to participate virtually from North Pole Hamburg, 25 August 2020. The SEADEVCON Maritime Award 2020 (www.seadevcon.com) goes to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Professor Dr. Markus Rex, Head of Atmospheric Physics in the Climate Sciences Division at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, in Potsdam. Rex leads the on-going historic project named MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) involving hundreds of researchers from 20 countries (www.mosaic-expedition.org). ​ ​ Following in the footsteps of Fridtjof Nansen’s ground-breaking expedition with his wooden sailing ship Fram in 1893-1896, the MOSAiC expedition brings a modern research icebreaker, the German ship Polarstern, close to the north pole for a full year including for the first time in polar winter. The data gathered will be used by scientists around the globe to take climate research to a completely new level. The SEADEVCON Maritime Award is to recognize annually a personality whose “lifetime achievement is exemplary for the fight of a sustainable and respectful use of the world’s seas”. Highlighting the principle of continuity, the author and expedition leader Arved Fuchs, winner of the prize in 2019, will present this year’s honoree. Fuchs wholeheartedly endorses this selection: “The work of Markus Rex and his colleagues is simply no less than a game changer. I couldn’t be more supportive of what they are doing.” Carsten Bullemer, SEADEVCON founder and organiser, explains the choice: “Arved Fuchs is a hard act to follow, but in Markus Rex we have found a worthy successor.

'Few things,' Mosley wrote, 'are more overrated than the effect of childish experiences on later life.' He charged psychoanalysis with the fascist insult of being 'feminine' for its 'negation of manhood and self-willt. It was attacked by Blackshirts as an 'occult science1. Mosley's own writings, however, contain numerous references to re-examination of his life in the light of analytical psychology.

    Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2020 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean

    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2020 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 7 April 2021 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 starting in the Pacific Ocean to reach the Atlantic Oceam, but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 319 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2020 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (marked ‘cp’).
