Arnold Bennett, geography and architecture: A literary synthesis
A Geographer in Planning; a Planner in Geography
Unsafe drinking water quality in remote Western Australian Aboriginal communities
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important in the fields of public health and health geography because of its heavy burden on the health system and high cost of treatment in its advanced stages. The causes of CKD are associated with diabetes and hypertension, but in some parts of the world, the disease occurs in the absence of these factors. Researchers identify this condition as CKD of "unknown" causes (CKDu). CKDu is a multi-factored health prob…
Arnold Bennett and the Pursuit of Knowledge
Long neglected by literary scholars, the prolific works of English novelist and journalist Arnold Bennett have been studied by researchers in many other fields. This essay examines Bennett’s fiction and non-fiction to reveal his thoughts on the pursuit of knowledge and the purpose and value of education. It throws light on the character of one of England’s most controversial writers and on English culture at a time of rapid social change. Schoole…
Waterfalls, science and aesthetics
Waterfalls and rapids are a subject of study by scientists and scholars from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds. Unlike cave research, known as speleology, which also involves many different disciplines, the study of waterfalls is not generally regarded as a distinct branch of knowledge. Long neglected as subjects of research, waterfalls have received considerable attention since the 1980s. This paper traces the study of waterfall…
The Naming of Waterfalls
As features of the landscape, waterfalls have been studied extensively by geographers, but the names given to these landforms have received relatively little scholarly attention. This paper examines the naming of waterfalls and addresses the question of classifying these hydronyms. The subject is considered in a global historical context, focusing on place names in the anglophone world. Until the 18th and 19th centuries, relatively few waterfalls…
Best after rain: Waterfall discharge and the tourist experience
Waterfalls attract tourists because they are aesthetically appealing landscape features that are not part of everyday experience. It is generally understood that falls are usually seen at their best when there is a copious flow of water, especially after heavy rain. Guidebooks often contain this observation when referring to waterfalls, sometimes warning readers that the flow may be severely reduced during dry periods. Indeed, many visitors are d…
Wild Ways and Paths of Pleasure: Access to British waterfalls, 1500–2000
In Britain the rise of tourism, largely associated with the Romantic taste for landscape, encouraged travel to relatively inaccessible areas. Among travellers in search of the Picturesque and the Sublime, waterfalls were particularly popular, but these were commonly difficult and dangerous places to visit. This paper examines the impact of tourism on the evolution of the landscape at waterfall sites over a period during which people travelled to …
The Experience of Waterfalls
Landscape beauty has long been a concern of geographers and other scholars, but relatively little work has been done on the aesthetic analysis of specific landscape features such as mountain peaks and waterfalls. In Australia, as in many other parts of the world, waterfalls are popular scenic attractions, and this paper attempts to explain the widespread appeal of these landforms by examining them in the light of theories of landscape aesthetics,…
Fall of beauty: The story of a Jamaican waterfall - a tragedy in three acts
The story of Dunn's River Falls, a famous Jamaican beauty spot, illustrates Butler's tourist area cycle of evolution, and shows how excessive development of a scenic resource can threaten its sustainability. These cascades rose to prominence after the implementation of hydroelectric power schemes destroyed other waterfalls which had long been known to lovers of landscape beauty. Now marketed as one of the island's main tourist attractions, Dunn's…
Waterfalls Resources for Tourism
Cities on the Shore: The Urban Littoral Frontier
An in-depth analysis of land reclamation which sees it as a normal, if not essential form of urban development for cities situated on bodies of water. This is a wide-reaching survey using many examples and case studies, and is illustrated with photos and maps
Paradise Lost: A Planner's View of Jamaican Tourist Development
Most of Jamaica's tourism development has occured on the north coast, more recently spreading to Negril at the western tip of the Island. Ribbon development, largely associated with tourism, has transformed much of this coastal strip, and proposals for a new resort at Whitehouse, Westmoreland, have raised concerns about thepossible extension of tourism blight to the relatively unspoiled south coast.Jamaica's coastal tourism development has been c…

The View from the Verandah: Prospect, Refuge and Leisure
The verandah, a characteristic feature of Australia architecture, is commonly found in many parts of the world. Introduced into Australia by the British at a time when verandahs were popular both in England and the colonies, these structures were not merely practical responses to climatic conditions. It is argued that beyond the functional considerations of comfort and convenience, verandahs and similar structures are a response to and an express…
The New Geography and the New Imperialism: 1870–1918
The Geographical Imagination of Arnold Bennett
Arnold Bennett, fiction writer, journalist, and literary critic, is of interest to the geographer not merely because he is another regional novelist whose books, like those of many other creative writers, often capture the spirit of a place and contain fine examples of landscape description. Bennett maintained a life-long interest in geography that is reflected in his writings, many of which are concerned largely with places which he knew well, n…
Urbanisation and Planning in The West Indies
The New Geography and the New Imperialism: 1870–1918
Critical Geographies introduces students, scholars and activists to wide-ranging approaches, topics and theories associated with critical geographical scholarship. A selection of thirty-six chapters of previously published work, spanning over 150 years, is organized into four thematic sections with editorial introductions, addressing the themes of critical reflection within academic geography, theorizing the relationship between space and society…
