  • Writing the City: Eden, Babylon and the New Jerusalem

    Open AccessPaul Simpson-Housley, Peter Preston et al.BOOKWriting the City2014

    `The expression of human experience it embodies ... includes all personal history'. Saul Bellow's view of the city is far from that of classic geographical descriptions which look at growth or decline, demographic patterns, traffic flows and economic potential: these empirically conceived models of urban geography fail to accommodate the crucial human aspect of city life. Located at the interface of geography and literature, Writing the City visu…

  • Mapping the Sacred: Religion, Geography and Postcolonial Literatures

    Jamie S Scott, Paul Simpson-Housley et al.BOOKMapping the Sacred2001Cited by: 7

    Interweaving the interpretative methods of religious studies, literary criticism and cultural geography, the essays in this volume focus on issues associated with the representation of place and space in the writing and reading of the postcolonial. The collection charts the ways in which contemporary writers extend and deepen our awareness of the ambiguities of economic, social and political relations implicated in “sacred space” - the sense of s…

  • Trait Anxiety and Perception of a Potential Nuclear Power Plant Disaster

    Open AccessMichael D Mehta, Manisha P Mehta et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1994

    This study explored how trait anxiety interacts with various demographic variables in influencing how potential nuclear power disaster is assessed by a random sample of 150 adults (77 women, 73 men) who live near a nuclear power plant. Expectation of a future nuclear power plant disaster was positively related to high trait-anxiety elevations in women who were childless

  • To the “Infinite Spaces of Creation”: The Interior Landscape of a Schizophrenic Artist

    Deborah Carter Park, Paul Simpson-Housley et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…1994Cited by: 7References: 8

    Of the personal worlds that fall within the domain of geography, the the world of the schizophrenic is perhaps the most distinctive. Schizophrenics possess a subjective world imagery that reflects their past experience, family background, delusions, hallucinations, cognitive processes, and quests for order. These imageries are, on rare occasions, expressed in art. The art of Adolf Wölfli offers a glimpse of schizophrenic images and perceptions an…

  • Poles Apart? The Terra Nova and Fram Antarctic Expeditions and Judeo-Christian Attitudes towards Nature

    Paul Simpson-Housley, PAUL SIMPSON‐HOUSLEY et al.ARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…1993Cited by: 1References: 2

    This paper reflects on Amundsen's and Scott's siege of the South Pole. Although the reward of priority motivated both Antarctic explorers, the Terra Nova and the Fram Expeditions both reflect the ambiguity and ambivalence towards nature of Judeo-Christian culture, as expressed in canonical scriptures and in its historical development. The postmodern might be understood in terms of this ambiguity and ambivalence rather than in terms of efforts to …

    114 men and women participated in a study which focused on the long-term effect on trait anxiety resulting from a severe flood which occurred in 1972 in Buffalo Creek, West Virginia.

    142 subjects participated in a study of the relationship between selected predictors and responses to potential tornado hazard. Results of backstep regression analyses indicated (a) that sex of subject and level of education were the best predictors of perceived probability of tornado recurrence, (b) that ratings of severity of potential damage were related to level of education, and (c) that sex of subject accounted for a significant percentage …

    Open AccessAnton De Man, Paul Simpson-Housley et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1984

    89 residents of an area located near a designated nuclear site took part in an investigation of the relationship between trait-anxiety and perceptions of potential nuclear disaster and between such perceptions and state anxiety. No significant correlation was found between trait-anxiety and expectation of future accidents or between this measure of anxiety and estimation of potential damage. Expectation of an accident and estimation of damage wer…

  • The Novelist's Image of the North: Discussion

    Alec H Paul, Paul Simpson-Housley et al.ARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…1980

    WE were much intrigued by D. C. D. Pocock's 'The novelist's image of the North' in Trans. Inst. Br. Geogr. N.S. 4, 62-76. In this fascinating article Pocock somehow managed to reduce an encyclopedia of reading to an almost mind-bending array of brief literary references. The overall effect was reminiscent of a burst of staccato machine-gun fire. A fragment from one novelist was followed by another in rapid and unrelenting succession, leaving the …
