[Antarctica][ south pole][ Falkland Islands][ Crozet Islands][ expedition][ exploration][ Richard Byrd][ Raymond Edward Priestley][ Roald Amundsen][ international law][ shipwrecks] A Collection of Materials of the Promotional and Scholarly Records of Antarctic Exploration, predominantly 1908-1936. Antarctica. 1877-1964. A collection of over thirty-five (35) items relating to Antarctic Exploration. The collection dates from 1877-1964, with the bulk of materials from 1908-1936. The collection includes scholarly articles and publications as well as government reports about expeditions, various promotional material for exploration fundraising events or sold after the expeditions such as books or films. These periodicals and promotional materials include numerous images from photographs and first hand accounts of Antarctic Expeditions. Also included are three letters, two from various societies, such as the Royal Geographic Society and the Scott Polar Research Institute, discussing various scholarly articles on Antarctica published by previous polar explorers. The third letter is a short communication from the Richard E. Byrd Antarctic Exploration II Team, prior to its departure discussing the expedition's library. There are several unique items in the collection is a menu with hand finishing for a banquet thrown by the Mayor of New York City for Richard E. Byrd before his Second Antarctic Expedition (1834-1935), and an etching of Byrd done by Waltet Tittle. A rather striking item in the collection, due to is psychedelic cover in green and pink, is a playbill from the Carlton Theatre in London during its run of Paramount's exclusive film of Byrd's First Expedition. Another highlight in the collection is one of the scholarly articles: a typescript of Raymond Priestley's article "The Psychology of Exploration" which reflects on his part in the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), and discusses the psychological effect the expeditions add on the individual, such as depression, hallucinations, and polar madness. The article is divided up into four parts: 'The Voyage South from Civilization', 'Winter and Summer at Winter Quarters', 'Spring and Summer Sledging' and 'The Catastrophic Phase (May or May Not Occur)'. In the article he recounts Boston Book Fair 2019 – Part 1 6 [email protected] several demonstrating the toll these expeditions can have. "When crossing MacMurco Sound, one of the sailors reported a sledge party approaching from the direction of Hut point. Campbell and I walked rapidly toward the party when suddenly its leader drew aside and commenced to semaphore vigorously. We could neither of us make out anything more than disjointed letters, but at Campbell's request I endeavored to establish communication. The signaler, however appeared to be quite demented and we soon gave up our attempt and endeavored to close with the party by walking. As we approached we grew more and more doubtful of their identity and finally, they proved to be emperor penguins. Our desire for relief, and perhaps, some mirage , had converted a small body of four emperors in a perfect facsimile of a sledge party."

  • THE CLASS of of the City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1
    Herbert H. Lehman College THE CLASS OF of The City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1 Dear Class of 2020: As I write this, I am reflecting on the 2018 Winter Olympics. I remember being impressed by the vignettes highlighting the personal sacrifice and commitment that led some of the most admired and talented athletes in the world to the medal stand. Those traits – sacrifice and commitment – came to mind when I thought about your graduating class of more than 3500 students. Though you did not have the privilege those Olympic athletes enjoyed to devote themselves completely to just one thing, you have shown, especially in the months leading up to this moment, that you share the same kind of commitment and sacrifices needed to help you take your place among champions. While studying, many of you have worked several part-time jobs, caring for children and relatives, commuting many hours to and from classes. Without the benefit of a financial safety net, you have also now managed to complete the disrupted term of spring term, often with inadequate internet access and with multiple challenges compounded by stay-at-home restrictions. What you have achieved would be admirable in any context but in the context of 2020, it is phenomenal. Nearly 40 percent of you have lost your jobs and critical income this spring. Some of you have battled COVID-19 yourselves, and far too many of you have friends and loved ones coping with COVID-19. It grieves me to say that at least two of your peers lost the fight with coronavirus, with the Bronx being one of the counties hardest-hit by the pandemic in the country.

  • Spinster Ecology
    SPINSTER ECOLOGY: RETHINKING RELATION IN THE AMERICAN LITERARY ENVIRONMENT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Elizabeth Ensor August 2012 © 2012 Sarah Elizabeth Ensor Sarah Elizabeth Ensor, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Spinster Ecology develops a practice of queer ecocriticism by articulating intersections between nineteenth-century American literature and twentieth-century environmental thought. Focusing on texts by Sarah Orne Jewett, Henry David Thoreau, and Rachel Carson in which attention to the natural world is interwoven with a particularly reticent form of social interaction, the dissertation argues for the relational capacity of interpersonal and environmental forces typically understood to preclude connection: distance and remoteness, absence and silence, backwardness and death. Rethinking these categories as relational helps both to identify and to remedy a theoretical impasse that currently divides queer theory from ecocriticism: namely, the fields’ conflicting stances toward (reproductive) futurity and toward the status of desire, pleasure, and limitation. Early attempts at queering ecocriticism have tended to emphasize non- normative uses of natural spaces or to trouble the conceptions of nature and “the natural” that undergird mainstream environmentalism. My project, by contrast, locates queer theory’s contribution to ecocriticism in questions of temporality, sociality, and tone. More specifically, I identify the spinster as a model for paradigms of relation, transmission, and inheritance that are indirect or askance. Taking heed of spinsterliness not only as a characterological or biographical phenomenon but also in its formal and stylistic instantiations, I argue, can help queer ecocriticism better engage literature.

    COMPILATION OF CANAL TRADE ARTICLES FROM THE ALLEGANIAN a Cumberland newspaper and THE SUN a Baltimore newspaper and GEORGETOWN ADVOCATE DAILY AMERICAN TELEGRAPH two Washington, D. C. newspaper and ALEAXNDRIA GAZETTE an Alexandria, Va. newspaper 1851 Compiled and Edited by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer [email protected] REVISION 1 - MARCH 2018 REVISION 2 – MAY 2020 REVISION 3 – MAY 2021 Canal Trade - 1851 A. PREFACE In this compilation, articles were transcribed from The Alleganian, a Cumberland newspaper, The Sun, a Baltimore newspaper (identified by Sun appearing before the article), Georgetown Advocate (identified by GA appearing before the article) and Daily American Telegraph (identified by DAT appearing before the article) two Washington, D. C. newspapers, and Alexandria Gazette (identified by AG appearing before the article) an Alexandria, Va. newspaper, unless otherwise footnoted. The articles were compiled, chronologically in a two-column format, just as they appeared in the newspapers. Note that no boats loaded on Sunday; if it was just that the newspaper did not publish on Sunday, then the Monday edition would have listed the Sunday traffic. It does not. Some dates during the boating season were missing. The Alleganian newspaper was found on microfilm at the library at Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD. The Sun, the Georgetown Advocate the Daily American Telegraph and the Alexandria Gazette newspapers were found on-line. The research continues because the reader may yet find a missing date or a canal related article from another newspaper. There is a lot of duplication in information due to the different newspapers publishing similar articles about, for example Canal Trade, wherein the reporters for the newspapers had different deadlines for reporting the data and thus the lists have different boats, distances, and/or cargo.

  • Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999
    Spirit Wrestling Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 By Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © by Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff, 2011 Spirit Wrestling: Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto, 2011 ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, Canada sought “desirable” immigrants to “settle” the Northwest. At the same time, nearly eight thousand members of the Dukhobori (commonly transliterated as “Doukhobors” and translated as “Spirit Wrestlers”) sought refuge from escalating religious persecution perpetrated by Russian church and state authorities. Initially, the Doukhobors’ immigration to Canada in 1899 seemed to satisfy the needs of host and newcomer alike. Both parties soon realized, however, that the Doukhobors’ transition would prove more difficult than anticipated. The Doukhobors’ collective memory of persecution negatively influenced their perception of state interventions in their private affairs. In addition, their expectation that they would be able to preserve their ethno-religious identity on their own terms clashed with Canadian expectations that they would soon integrate into the Canadian mainstream. This study focuses on the historical evolution of the “Doukhobor problem” in Russia and in Canada. It argues that
