British Missions around the Gulf, 1575-2005
Recent events have once again focused international attention on the volatile politics of the Gulf region. This new book, by three former British ambassadors – all with long service in the region – demonstrates the importance of the Gulf for Britain from the days of Elizabeth I to the present. It tells the story, through the life and works of the British diplomats and consuls and the missions in which they worked, of Britain's involvement, first …
The Iraq-Kuwait border dispute
From soon after Iraq's independence in 1932 until Saddam Hussain was removed in April 2003 the border between Iraq and Kuwait was a source of actual or potential instability. Successive Iraqi leade
On change in the landscape
Research in landscape history/archaeology frequently concerns studies of human interventions in the cultural landscape. Decisions are seen to produce interventions that change a setting in some way, and each combination of decision, intervention and result tends, often sub-consciously, to be regarded as an episode of change or a discrete chapter in the evolution of a locality. Research will conventionally culminate in the completion of such an ep…
The Landscape History of Grouse Shooting in the Yorkshire Dales
The literature concerning recreational landscapes is substantial, but its contents are heavily biased towards the parks and gardens of the aristocratic and land-owning classes. Surprisingly, very little of a landscape historical nature has been published on the countrysides created and maintained for the purpose of grouse shooting, even though the areas concerned are some of the most admired and most ecologically sensitive parts of Britain. The p…
Pollards in Nidderdale
In the Yorkshire Dales, where the destruction of the rural setting is less advanced than in most other parts of England, countrysides frequently exist as historical palimpsests that incorporate elements from various earlier phases of colonisation and exploitation. The region is noted for the survival of antiquities of many kinds. In places, pollarded trees are significant components in the scenic pastiche, though prior to this survey there was no…

The Villages of Nidderdale
Village morphology is studied along the length of Nidderdale, in North Yorkshire. A close relationship between village forms and topography is apparent. In the lower valley section, where the environmental characteristics resemble those of the lowland zone, villages are found to display the dynamic qualities of realignment, contraction and migration that have been recognised in villages in the Midlands and southern England. Of the five villages s…
Reading the landscape, rejecting the present
The three most widely read figures in the establishment of historical landscape studies, people from very different backgrounds and of different temperaments, independently developed intense dislikes of modern industrial society and its manifestations in the landscape. These dislikes concerned the transformation, rooted in industrialization, of the relationship between humans and their environment. The nature of these attitudes towards the modern…
Landscape
This paper explores the way in which the rehabilitation within geography of ‘landscape’ has been partial and unbalanced. Landscape history, arguably the most geographically relevant aspect of landscape study, has been marginalized–though it has demonstrated a remarkable capacity to flourish in an interdisciplinary context. It is argued that the neglect of landscape history is not in the best interests of geography, and that its reintegration woul…

Geography and the History of Landscape
In the middle of this century, there was considerable support for the identification of Geography as the study of landscape. Subsequently, Geography and landscape history have developed close yet separate existences, with landscape history flourishing as an 'interdisciplinary discipline'. During the second half of the twentieth century, several of the landmark articles appeared in Ehe Geographical jkournal, where the key books were generally revi…
Geography, the State and the Third World
The term Third World was adopted by American writers from the original term of French origin, le Tiers-monde. Most of the general and theoretical writing in political geography relates to patterns and processes in the Western or developed world — although this bias is seldom announced. The Third World is different in so many respects that conditions and problems here merit special consideration. This is not to imply that the Third World exists as…

Leadership in a Dual Cultural Setting
S ummary . Moreno's sociometric test technique was used to measure cleavage in the school‐leaving classes of four parallel‐medium high schools. On the basis of an analysis using sociograms and statistical tests, the two culture groups in the schools were found to co‐operate in the environmental organisation of the schools, although many friendships between the groups were not made. The leaders were found to initiate contact in the environmental o…
