Afforestation on agricultural land in England
Increasing woodland creation and tree planting on agricultural land requires significant changes in farmer behaviour. Understanding the underlying factors influencing farmers' behaviour can help to inform the design and development of effective policies and interventions that aim to facilitate an increase in tree cover and woodland on farmland. This paper presents a systematic review of 104 studies, analysed using the Theoretical Domains Framewor…
Ital Hermeneutics
The Rastafari movement stands as one of the most instantly recognizable and socially influential spiritual groups of the last century. Having successfully crossed into the realm of popular culture with the worldwide popularity of reggae music, the movement has been able to achieve a level of recognition from the global public that other contemporary religious groups have not. However, knowledge of the groups’ practices and beliefs beyond reggae, …

Feed and manure use in low-N-input and high-N-input dairy cattle production systems
In most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa fertilizers and feeds are costly, not readily available and used sparingly in agricultural production. In many parts of Western Europe, North America, and Oceania fertilizers and feeds are relatively inexpensive, readily available and used abundantly to maximize profitable agricultural production. A case study, dairy systems approach was used to illustrate how differences in feed and manure management in a low-…

Development Imperative, Terrae Incognitae
James Arthur Prescott was a prominent soil scientist whose career responded to an increasingly complex, recognisably Australian web of interpenetrating spatial scales, served to promote revolutionary global advances in his chosen field, and in the process negotiated the blurred boundaries between 'pure' and 'applied' research. Encounters with this instructive life suggest that, while resolutions of pivotal anxieties might turn on ineluctably pers…

British imperial and American experiences in conservation and planning are providing fresh interdisciplinary challenges for university teaching and research. The Roosevelt administration's 'New Deal' included government-sponsored interventions in soil erosion and water management and sophisticated regional development agendas. Reviewing samples of the latter areas of concern, this article explores the proposition that, although the British Empire…

Harvest of 'Entwining Complication
Revisiting the Australian Experience
Ever anxious about real and apparent “identity” crises, Australians have in recent years been increasingly better served by interdisciplinary academic writings. A common theme is the clarification and resolution of recurrent national uncertainty. Others, intimately related, include the divide between indigenous and imported conceptualizations, especially notions of sacredness, together with broadly targeted historical interpretations of environme…

Dominion over palm and pine’
The pulse of citizenship
This exercise in a type of applied historiography begins by annotating aspects of reform in Western education from the 1880s to the 1930s, an interval which exhibits the responses of ‘new’ subjects to political and social demands for improved civics education, and encompasses the inauguration of a recognisably ‘academic’ geography in Australia. Designedly, since the nominated period also incorporates the early life and career of pioneering geogra…

The haunting of saloman's house
The search for scientific status in geography, particularly in human geography, is described as part of a special type of Utopianism which may have diverted us from the identification and pursuit of more appropriate and rewarding forms of professionalism. In this centenary year of Griffith Taylor's birth Australian geographers might seriously consider some temporary ‘disengagement’ from the first world of academia in order to address the special …
The Bowman, Huntington and Taylor correspondence, 1928
Griffith Taylor's correspondence with Isaiah Bowman and Ellsworth Huntington provided important support during Taylor's difficult years of pioneering for geography teaching and research in Australia. His contacts with these leading scholars were also highly influential factors in his initial appointment to Sydney University and throughout his stormy career at that institution; they were also closely associated with his decision to move to the Uni…
Australian geography and the corporate management paradigm
As Australia's governments strive to create an advanced capitalist society, their wholesale adoption of corporate managerialism provides a dominating contextual setting for every level of education. Aggressive in style and content, this intrusive paradigm bids to transform the structures and purposes of modern education. Like their fellow academics, university geographers are obliged to come to terms with the imposition of a coarse‐grained indust…

The writers spent the summer season from May 18 to August 18 in the region of the Gilman Glacier, about 82°08'N, 70°57'W, in northeastern Ellesmere Island. The investigations undertaken under a Banting grant in aid were mainly complementary to the glaciological and botanical work of the expedition Operation sponsored by the Defence Research Board of Canada in 1957-8. The work of the party can be divided into four separate phases. After arrival at…

The flora of the northwest coast of Greenland, north of 800 is not as well known as that of the northeast coast. Wulff collected about 70 species at various locations along the northwest coast between 81°25' and 83°O6'N, and Simmons reviewed the earlier collections largely made at points south of 81°N. Two collections are reported from the vicinity of Polaris Bay, on the east side of Hall Basin at about 81°36'-40'N. Bessels lists 22 species colle…
