  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Scholarship Boys and Children's Books
    Scholarship Boys and Children’s Books: Working-Class Writing for Children in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s Haru Takiuchi Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics, Newcastle University, March 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores how, during the 1960s and 1970s in Britain, writers from the working-class helped significantly reshape British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. The three writers at the centre of this study – Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall – were all examples of what Richard Hoggart, in The Uses of Literacy (1957), termed ‘scholarship boys’. By this, Hoggart meant individuals from the working-class who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. The thesis shows that their position as scholarship boys both fed their writing and enabled them to work radically and effectively within the British publishing system as it then existed. Although these writers have attracted considerable critical attention, their novels have rarely been analysed in terms of class, despite the fact that class is often central to their plots and concerns. This thesis, therefore, provides new readings of four novels featuring scholarship boys: Aidan Chambers’ Breaktime and Dance on My Grave, Robert Westall’s Fathom Five, and Alan Garner’s Red Shift. The thesis is split into two parts, and these readings make up Part 1. Part 2 focuses on scholarship boy writers’ activities in changing publishing and reviewing practices associated with the British children’s literature industry. In doing so, it shows how these scholarship boy writers successfully supported a movement to resist the cultural mechanisms which suppressed working-class culture in British children’s literature.

  • George Orwell's FARM a STUDY GUIDE
    George Orwell’s ANIMALA STUDY FARM GUIDE Student’s Book Contents About Animal Farm 2 Introduction 3 Before You Read: 4 Chapter I 8 Chapter II 9 Chapter III 13 Chapter IV 15 Chapters I-IV Review/Reflection 17 Chapter V 18 Chapter VI 23 Chapter VII 29 Chapter V-VII Review/Reflection 35 Chapter VIII 36 Chapter IX 42 Chapter X 45 Chapter VIII-X Review/Reflection 47 After You Read: Activities 48 Animal Farm: The Complete Novel 50 DRAFT August 2012 About Animal Farm About the story Animal Farm tells the story of Farmer Jones’ animals who rise up in rebellion and take over the farm. Tired of being exploited for human gain, the animals—who have human characteristics such as the power of speech—agree to create a new and fairer society. The novel reads like a fairy tale, and Orwell originally subtitled it as one, but it is also a satire containing a message about world politics and especially the former Soviet Union. In a satire, the writer attacks a serious issue by presenting it in a ridiculous, funny way. Orwell uses satire to expose what he saw as the myth of Soviet Socialism. The novel tells a story that people of all ages can understand, but it also tells us a second story— that of the real-life Revolution. Since the Bolshevik Revolution of the early 1900s, the former Soviet Union had captured the attention of the world with its socialist experiment. This form of government had some supporters in Britain and the United States, but Orwell was against this system.

  • British Experience of A. I. and Its Use in the Conservation of Rare Pig Breeds J
    BRITISH EXPERIENCE OF A. I. AND ITS USE IN THE CONSERVATION OF RARE PIG BREEDS J. R. Walters and P. N. Hooper Masterbreeders (Livestock Development) Ltd. Hastoe, Tring, Herts. HP23 6PJ. UK. SUMMARY There are seven endangered pig breeds in Britain being conserved by a semen freezing programme financed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. To date, 22 boars have been frozen with satisfactory semen parameters. Where- ever possible fresh semen is also made available to breeders and data from 14 boars suggest similar semen parameters to the main white breeds. However significant numbers of rare breed boars show low libido. On average. Prostaglandin F2«C is used twice as often in rare breeds. On limited observations, the Berkshire and Large Black breeds appear most affected. INTRODUCTION In Great Britain endangered pig breeds are maintained mostly in small groups (maximum of 2 boars and 15 females) on a variety of farms. The major problem with this is the avoidance of inbreeding and genetic drift. Smith (1984) and Maijala et al (1984) have outlined the suitability of rotational systems of breeding to minimise inbreeding as long as numbers are adequate. However, of the seven British breeds listed with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST), six are category one (critical) and only one - Gloucester Old Spot - category two (rare). Although there has been an increase in litter notifications and herd book registrations in most breeds over the past five years, there remains concern over the future of the breeds, particularly as in some breeds more than 50% of litters are cross­ bred.
