  • Stealing fire from heaven’: Odette du Puigaudeau and French nuclear colonialism in the Algerian Sahara

    Open AccessC Hill, Clémence MaillochonARTICLEInternational Review of…2024References: 8

    By wanting to steal fire from heaven, the men of today will lose the world'so commented the French ethnologist, Odette du Puigaudeau (1894-1991), as she reflected on her opposition to French nuclear weapons tests in the Algerian Sahara. Odette, a Breton known for her field research in Mauritania, was unable to prevent the tests, with 17 detonations taking place between 1960 and 1966 near the oasis town of Reggane and in the Hoggar Massif.

  • Britain, West Africa and ‘The new nuclear imperialism: Decolonisation and development during French tests

    C Hill, Christopher Robert HillARTICLEContemporary British History2018Cited by: 5

    This article explores how the Macmillan government managed opposition to French nuclear tests at the end of empire in West Africa and prior to its first application to join the European Economic Community in 1961. It focuses in particular on the use of scientific aid and development as a means by which West African states could be re-assured and won over to British diplomacy. This was calculated to appeal to ideas of modernity on the eve of Niger…

  • Nations of Peace: Nuclear Disarmament and the Making of National Identity in Scotland and Wales

    C Hill, Christopher R HillARTICLETwentieth Century British History2015Cited by: 5References: 1

    This article uses the Scottish and Welsh Councils for Nuclear Disarmament as windows into the relationship between peace and nationalism in Scotland and Wales in the late 1950s and early 1960s. From one perspective, it challenges histories of peace movements in Britain, which have laboured under approaches and assumptions centred on London. From another, it demonstrates the role of movements for nuclear disarmament in the emergence of a ‘left of …

  • What Was the West

    C Hill, Charles D HillARTICLETelos2014

    I The West was awesome and aberrant. Looking back on its 500-year-long run, it is obvious that human nature could not permanently bear such dynamism as was produced by the concatenation of its core concepts. Human nature is resilient, but, as T. S. Eliot noted, “mankind cannot bear too much freedom.” In sum, the cause of the West's collapse was its derogation of education in the humanities, to the point where it no longer understood, or even reme…

These errors will cause failures of the entire production chain. To handle this concern, production systems should be converted into fault-tolerant production systems. To present such systems, a fault tolerance approach was developed to help possible faults predictio…
