Bazaar Lives: Calcutta, New Urban Form and Spatial Experience: 1890–1940
South Asian cities share a contested late colonial history.Calcutta (Kolkata) occupies a distinctive place in their emergence as modernising urban centres.Instead of viewing changes in Calcutta's markets merely as the products of colonial and racial hierarchies-or as the product of modernisation-mental maps of people moving through these spaces inform a deeper understanding.Attempts by the Calcutta municipality to 'modernise' markets using Europe…
James Lesh, Values in Cities: Urban Heritage in Twentieth-Century Australia
Transcontinental and Transnational Links in Social Movements and Environmental Policies in the Twentieth Century
For a sub-discipline that takes as its subject the natural world -which is never contained by human-made borders -environmental history has remained stubbornly wedded to the nation-state.In 1999 the historian Richard White reflected on the way in which national boundaries, in particular those established during the nineteenth-and twentieth-centuries, continued to fragment the field. 1 It seemed to White that environmental historians had not made …
Dams, Freeways and Aerospace: How Australian Environmentalists responded to Transnationalism and World Heritage, 1964–1984
Australian environmentalists have confidently staked a claim to leading roles in both activism at a global scale and in bringing transnational ideas to bear, successfully, on local environmental issues. Amongst these successes, World Heritage listing for south‐west Tasmania stands out. But failures to comprehend Australia's metropolitan character and slowness in accepting Aboriginal rights to land meant that environmentalists have not made much u…

Forging Imperial and Australasian Identities: Australian Rules Football in New Zealand During the Nineteenth Century
The localised successes but geographic boundedness of Australian Rules football raise interesting questions about the relationship of sports to the regional character of the South-West Pacific. Although it is called ‘Australian’, the game has historically been restricted to roughly half of the population of the colonies and states, failing to capitalise on its initial flowering in Queensland and New South Wales. In the nineteenth century, it was …
Supplemented zinc does not alter mood in healthy older European adults – a randomised placebo-controlled trial: The Zenith study
Objective Older people are vulnerable to zinc deficiency, which may impact upon their mood. This randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind intervention study aimed to investigate the effect of oral zinc gluconate supplementation (15 mg/d; 30 mg/d; and placebo) on subjective mood (affect) in older Europeans. Subjects Healthy volunteers ( n 387) aged 55–87 years were recruited. Setting Volunteers in Rome (Italy; n 108) and Grenoble (France; n 91…
Cultural Landscape and Goldfield Heritage: Towards a Land Management Framework for the Historic South-West Pacific Gold Mining Landscapes
This article investigates how cultural landscapes (especially the potentially limiting organically evolved landscape) can be used as a research framework to evaluate historical mining heritage sites in Australia and New Zealand. We argue that when mining heritage sites are read as evolved organic landscapes and linked to the surrounding forested and hedged farmland, the disruptive aspects of mining are masked. Cultural landscape is now a separate…

Writing Australian history: Fact or fabrication
Whilst the current controversy over ‘History Wars’ and ‘Australian History Fact or Fabrication’ is overblown, at least it provides an opportunity to revisit some fundamental aspects of historical research and for the profession to rethink ways in which it might engage with the media in the future. Three issues are dealt with: the possibility of defending individual historians unfairly attacked in print and electronic media; the practicalities of …
Mood and Behaviour Problems Associated with Seasonal Changes in Britain and Ireland
Background: Research from across the world has shown that rates of seasonal mood disturbances may vary according to such factors as geographical location, age and gender. Little is known of the nature of these problems within representative community samples in UK and Ireland. Aims: In two studies we examined the extent to which winter disrupts mood and behaviour among random samples of British and Irish adults. Methods: In the first study, 533 a…

Interpreting mood scores: Clinical implications of individual differences in mood variability
Mood variability is shown to be a stable characteristic of individuals, such individual differences accounting for some 25 per cent of the total variability of mood scores over time. This large effect is shown to have three major consequences: it is impossible to use tables of norms to assess the severity of a given mood for an individual; the whole logic of using norms for the interpretation of moods is flawed; and correlations between moods and…

John Wren: Machine Boss, Irish Chieftain or Meddling Millionaire
The Melbourne suburb of Collingwood sits, cramped and grimy, in a bend of the river Yarra. Transformed during the Nineteenth Century from a fringe shanty town to an inner city 'twilight zone', Collingwood always housed the workers of the metropolis.1 And although its fac tories, swampy land, and small wooden cottages never attracted the wealthy or successful, Collingwood drew disapproving attention, for the larrikin pushes of 'Mud Island' (the Co…
