LiDAR-derived high-resolution geomorphological analysis for archaeology
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) derived from LiDAR surveys have become essential tools in predictive archaeological analysis. The increasing affordability and accessibility of high-resolution, large-coverage datasets have opened new avenues for archaeologists to detect a diverse array of sites. These datasets facilitate the examination of broad spatial distributions, functional relationships, and patterns of landscape use by past populations over…
Ignoble Strife
This article considers the serial publication of Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel, Far from the Madding Crowd, in the context of the national agricultural strike of 1874. Several passages are read against the conflict to show how this otherwise romantic historical work of contemporary literature can be seen to resonate with its historical moment
Crusoe's Books
Epilogue
The epilogue rounds off the argument by returning to Crusoe as a paradigm of the act of reading in the British empire. In the hands of different readers not even Robinson Crusoe was as straightforward as it seemed. Despite the fact that the novel has often been read as a manual for empire, it is far more complex than some commentaries would have us believe. Similar ambivalences apply to the lives and minds of many overseas British in the long nin…
The ERA5 global reanalysis
Within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), ECMWF is producing the ERA5 reanalysis which, once completed, will embody a detailed record of the global atmosphere, land surface and ocean waves from 1950 onwards. This new reanalysis replaces the ERA‐Interim reanalysis (spanning 1979 onwards) which was started in 2006. ERA5 is based on the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) Cy41r2 which was operational in 2016. ERA5 thus benefits from a deca…
Nineteenth-Century Media and the Construction of Identities
Signs Taken for Wonders
Since its first appearance as an article in Critical Inquiry in 1985, Homi Bhabha’s “Signs Taken for Wonders: Questions of Ambivalence and Authority Under a Tree Outside Delhi, May 1817” has become a locus classicus for postcolonial studies.1 A central document in today’s postcolonial archive, it was republished as a chapter in The Location of Culture in 1994, in numerous subsequent editions, and is a text that has been recycled and repeated in s…
Responding to vulnerability – the role of social welfare services and cash transfers
From a child-focused lens, effective social protection requires an understanding of the sources of vulnerability faced by children, and appropriate responses. One of the useful aspects of the increased prominence of cash transfers in the social protection debate has been to highlight the fact that for many children living in developing countries, economic poverty is a major driver of children's vulnerability and deprivation. However, without taki…
The Edinburgh History of the Book in Scotland, Volume 1, Part II
Symposium
“‘ Histoire du livre ’”, remarked Robert Darnton in a much celebrated essay from 1982, “‘ Geschichte des Buchwesens ’...‘history of books’ or ‘of the book’ in English-speaking countries—its name varies from place to place, but everywhere it is being recognized as an important new discipline”. In the twenty-five years since Darnton's original observation book history has if anything continued to flourish. With a number of multi-volume national his…

Victorian Paratexts
I N THE POST-THEORETICAL (re)turn to history there is now, in literary and cultural studies, an increasing preoccupation with material relations, manifest in the growing number of interdisciplinary approaches foregrounding the importance of the production, circulation, and reception of texts. It has become increasingly evident that, despite internal claims for praxis, a much-vaunted cultural materialism has found itself at times imaginatively and…

Elusive Imagery of the Lightstick
When each element of a vertical column of lights is rapidly modulated so as to present successive slices of a two-dimensional image, the entire image can be seen by sweeping one's eyes rapidly past the column, or Lightstick. The author describes the image-generating process and a number of novel artworks using these images. Two research psychologists discuss the unusual visual effects produced by the Lightstick
