The Gender of Breadwinners
The contributors to this forum on “great books” reflect on the impact of Joy Parr’s The Gender of Breadwinners on their own research and on the field of Canadian history. Parr’s award-winning book focuses on two small industrial towns in southern Ontario: Paris, where most of the wage earners were women, and Hanover, where most workers were men. Informed by feminist theory, it was a path-breaking study that challenged established dichotomies in s…

Integrating satellite-based forest disturbance alerts improves detection timeliness and confidence
Satellite-based near-real-time forest disturbance alerting systems have been widely used to support law enforcement actions against illegal and unsustainable human activities in tropical forests. The availability of multiple optical and radar-based forest disturbance alerts, each with varying detection capabilities depending mainly on the satellite sensor used, poses a challenge for users in selecting the most suitable system for their monitoring…
Polarizing and equalizing trends in international trade and Sustainable Development Goals
The influence of international trade on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is multi-faceted. International trade can either promote or hinder progress, thus directly impacting people, economies and livelihoods. Here we explore the relevance of consumption-based proxies, which capture global demand for goods and services, to assess progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. We link these proxies to environmental and social issue…

Living comfortably with heat in Australia – preferred indoor temperatures and climate zones
While the optimal mean annual temperature for people and nations is said to be between 13 °C and 18 °C, many people live productive lives in regions or countries that commonly exceed this temperature range. One such country is Australia. We carried out an Australia-wide online survey using a structured questionnaire to investigate what temperature people in Australia prefer, both in terms of the local climate and within their homes. More than hal…
Towards the use of satellite-based tropical forest disturbance alerts to assess selective logging intensities
Illegal logging is an important driver of tropical forest loss. A wide range of organizations and interested parties wish to track selective logging activities and verify logging intensities as reported by timber companies. Recently, free availability of 10 m scale optical and radar Sentinel data has resulted in several satellite-based alert systems that can detect increasingly small-scale forest disturbances in near-real time. This paper provide…
Using public litigation records to identify priority science needs for managing public lands
Relevant science is essential for effective natural resource decision making, including on public lands managed by the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM), that cover 1/10th of the United States. Most of the BLM’s management decisions require analyses under the National Environmental Policy Act, and the use of science in these decisions is often challenged. Using coproduction, we assembled an interagency…
Miss Jack May, Lady Farmer in England and Canada
This paper was inspired by the incomplete story of Englishwoman Isabel ‘Jack’ May (1875–1970), a media sensation from 1905 to 1912 because she was a ‘lady farmer’, wore ‘male attire’ and adopted the name ‘Jack’. Already well-known in England, May’s celebrity was enhanced when she purchased land in Alberta, Canada in 1911, where she farmed with a female companion. In late 1912 however, May sailed to England, never to return, and disappeared from p…

Aboveground forest biomass varies across continents, ecological zones and successional stages: Refined IPCC default values for tropical and subtropical forests
For monitoring and reporting forest carbon stocks and fluxes, many countries in the tropics and subtropics rely on default values of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. Default IPCC forest AGB values originated from 2006, and are relatively crude estimates of average values per continent and ecological zone. The 2006 default values wer…

“Our Modern Priapus”: Thauma and the Isernian Simulacra
In 1781, British Envoy Sir William Hamilton wrote to Joseph Banks of an astonishing discovery in rural Abruzzo. The inhabitants of Isernia offered wax phalluses as votives to Catholic shrines during the annual Fête of St. Cosmo and Damiano. The waxen vows were evidence that the cult of Priapus persisted in the modern world, and their appearance produced thauma or wonder in antiquarian circles. Moving from Hamilton’s letter to Richard Payne Knight…
Tropical deforestation drivers and associated carbon emission factors derived from remote sensing data
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+) is a crucial component of global climate change mitigation. Remote sensing can provide continuous and spatially explicit above-ground biomass (AGB) estimates, which can be valuable for the quantification of carbon stocks and emission factors (EFs). Unfortunately, there is little information on the fate of the land following tropical deforestation and…
Shifting identities: Exploring occupational identity for those in recovery from an eating disorder
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature, transition and formation of occupational identity for those in recovery from eating disorders (EDs). Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured “episodic” interviews were carried out with six women, self-identifying in recovery from an ED. Narrative-type-analysis produced a distilled narrative of participants’ accounts, before use of thematic analysis compared and extracted pertinent th…

Agriculture-driven deforestation in the tropics from 1990–2015: Emissions, trends and uncertainties
Limited data exists on emissions from agriculture-driven deforestation, and available data are typically uncertain. In this paper, we provide comparable estimates of emissions from both all deforestation and agriculture-driven deforestation, with uncertainties for 91 countries across the tropics between 1990 and 2015. Uncertainties associated with input datasets (activity data and emissions factors) were used to combine the datasets, where most c…
Large scale land acquisitions and Redd: A synthesis of conflicts and opportunities
Large scale land acquisitions (LSLA), and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) are both land based phenomena which when occurring in the same area, can compete with each other for land. A quantitative analysis of country characteristics revealed that land available for agriculture, accessibility, and political stability are key explanatory factors for a country being targeted for LSLA. Surprisingly LSLA occur in co…
Mistress of Everything: Queen Victoria in Indigenous Worlds
Indigenous people in Britain’s settler colonies engaged Queen Victoria in their diplomacy and politics, and incorporated her into their intellectual and narrative traditions. These interpretations of Victoria have much to tell us about indigenous peoples’ experiences of and responses to British colonization, and they also make a significant contribution to historical and contemporary understandings of British imperial and colonial history. The es…

Lost Harvests: Prairie Indian Reserve Farmers and Government Policy
Agriculture on Plains Indian reserves is generally thought to have failed because the Native peoples lacked either an interest in farming or an aptitude for it. In Lost Harvests Sarah Carter reveals that reserve residents were anxious to farm and expended considerable effort on cultivation; government policies, more than anything else, acted to undermine their success.

Capturing Women: The Manipulation of Cultural Imagery in Canada's Prairie West
The late 1800s was a critical era in the social history of the Canadian Prairies during which racial tensions between white settlers and the Native population grew and colonial authority was perceived to be increasingly threatened. As a result white settlers began to erect social and spatial barriers to segregate themselves from the indigenous population. In Capturing Women Sarah Carter examines popular representations of women that emerged at th…

Transnational Perspectives on the History of Great Plains Women: Gender, Race, Nations, and the Forty-ninth Parallel
History is sadly truncated if national historians travel without passports and stop investigating when the subject reaches the 49th parallel, writes Jan Noel in her introduction to a recent collection of articles that focus on race and gender in the intertwined histories of the border colonies of seventeenth and eighteenth century eastern North America. (1) There is enormous potential for similar work on cross-border history in the regions to the…

‘Not perfect boy nor perfect wench’: Hermaphroditus
Ovid’s tale of Hermaphroditus in the fourth book of Metamorphoses provides an etymology for a rare anatomical abnormality that challenges cultural concepts of sex, gender, and sexuality. According to Lauren Silberman, ‘references prior to Ovid ascribe the Hermaphrodite’s bisexual-ity to birth, not metamorphosis’. 2 In Ovid’s original narrative, the nymph Salmacis desires Hermaphroditus, the beautiful fifteen-year-old son of Hermes and Aphrodite. …
Conclusion
The preceding chapters have explored a range of Ovidian mythologies and early modern texts which depict a variety of sexual desires and behaviours arguably considered deviant in early modern ideology. That is, desires and behaviours which transgress boundaries and which occur outside of marital procreative interests in deviation from socially imposed laws, taxonomies, or object choice. Through analysing how particular mythical figures were cultur…
