The Extraordinary Gertrude Bell Book Available from Tyne Bridge Publishing at City Library Newcastle or at www.tinyurl.com/toonbooks The Extraordinary GertrudHe BTell IG YR OP C Edited by Mark Jackson and Andrew Parkin COPYRIGHT The Extraordinary Gertrude Bell HT Obituary G Gertrude LowthianI Bell The death of Miss Gertrude Bell at Baghdad on July 11 last, closed a career which in more than one respect is unique. No other woman of recent timRe has combined her qualities – her taste for arduous and dangerous adventure with her scientific interest and knowledge, her competence in archaeology and art, her distinguished literary gift, her sympathy for all sorts and conditions of men, her political insight and appreciation of humanY values, her masculine vigour, hard common sense and practical efficiency – all tempered by feminine charm and most romantic spirit. She was, I believe, the only woman to be graded a PPolitical Officer during the Great War, and the only one after it to be Oriental Secretary to a High Commissioner. Not given to any sort of self-advertisement, she escaped, thanks to a lifelong indifference to what are called Feminist Movements, that advertisement by others which CO some distinguished members of her sex have suffered. Obituary of Gertrude Bell written by D.G. Hogarth, The Geographical Journal , 68, 1926 Acknowledgements There are several organisations to thank for the support they have provided in the production of this volume.

  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective
    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.

  • ORIGINS of the PALESTINE MANDATE by Adam Garfinkle
    NOVEMBER 2014 ORIGINS OF THE PALESTINE MANDATE By Adam Garfinkle Adam Garfinkle, Editor of The American Interest Magazine, served as the principal speechwriter to Secretary of State Colin Powell. He has also been editor of The National Interest and has taught at Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford College and other institutions of higher learning. An alumnus of FPRI, he currently serves on FPRI’s Board of Advisors. This essay is based on a lecture he delivered to FPRI’s Butcher History Institute on “Teaching about Israel and Palestine,” October 25-26, 2014. A link to the the videofiles of each lecture can be found here: http://www.fpri.org/events/2014/10/teaching-about- israel-and-palestine Like everything else historical, the Palestine Mandate has a history with a chronological beginning, a middle, and, in this case, an end. From a strictly legal point of view, that beginning was September 29, 1923, and the end was midnight, May 14, 1948, putting the middle expanse at just short of 25 years. But also like everything else historical, it is no simple matter to determine either how far back in the historical tapestry to go in search of origins, or how far to lean history into its consequences up to and speculatively beyond the present time. These decisions depend ultimately on the purposes of an historical inquiry and, whatever historical investigators may say, all such inquiries do have purposes, whether recognized, admitted, and articulated or not. A.J.P. Taylor’s famous insistence that historical analysis has no purpose other than enlightened storytelling, rendering the entire enterprise much closer to literature than to social science, is interesting precisely because it is such an outlier perspective among professional historians.

A government for the new state of Iraq was formed in November 1920, with Emir Feisal being proclaimed King of Iraq on 23 August 1921. The United Kingdom signed a treaty with Iraq in October 1922 defining the relationship between the two sovereign states. This treaty imposed limits on the sovereignty of Iraq and maintained British interests in the country. In 1925, the area around Mosul, which was rich in oil deposits, was ceded to Iraq from Turkey.

  • Fantasque Time Line | 1940
    21 avril L’affaire d’Irak Arbil – Larminat réorganise ses forces. Il a prévu de faire éclater ses forces en dispositif opérationnel. Dès le lendemain, son premier groupement tactique, le GTA (A pour Algériens), descendra vers Shaykh en longeant le Tigre. Le deuxième, le GTB (B pour British, colonel Arbuthnot), se dirigera sur Dibs et Altun Kupri. Enfin, le troisième, le GTZ (Z pour zouaves), doté des véhicules les plus rapides, sera lancé en direction de Taqtaq et de Dokan. Larminat est soucieux de coopération entre alliés, mais peu convaincu de la totale sincérité britannique depuis que certains épisodes regrettables qui se sont déroulés à Dunkerque lui ont été rapportés ; de plus, comme la majorité des coloniaux, il est traditionnellement anglophobe (non sans raisons, d’ailleurs). C’est pourquoi il encadre les unités du colonel Arbuthnot entre les siennes. Il va jusqu’à lui rattacher la compagnie mobile de fusiliers-marins de Lattaquieh, en renfort de leurs éléments de reconnaissance : « La Marine – que Dieu et Maurras me pardonnent – me servira d’Œil de Moscou » ricane le général, que personne n’accuserait pourtant de sympathies pour le communisme. La progression devrait s’accélérer, puisqu’on sera enfin en Irak “utile”, où les besoins de l’exploitation du pétrole ont conduit, depuis 1920, à la construction d’un dense réseau de routes de bonne qualité. Peut-être sera-t-il aussi possible de réquisitionner dans les parcs des compagnies pétrolières des poids lourds modernes ou des tracteurs et des remorques, pour suppléer les vieux porte-chars Berliet et Saurer qui ont mal digéré le sable des déserts.
