Goats, Marginality and the 'Dangerous Other
Mediterranean vegetation is increasingly subject to high summer temperatures. Scrubland grazing by the omnivorous goat could reduce the risk of widespread fires. But goat populations have been controlled by bans and restrictions for many centuries. The political, economic and cultural reasons why the animal had such an unsavoury reputation are explored
Human Impact on the Environment in the Annecy Petit Lac Catchment, Haute-Savoie: A Documentary Approach
It is axiomatic that mountain environments are particularly vulnerable to changes in patterns of human use, over both long and medium terms, but also over quite short periods of critical activity. This paper uses archaeological and documentary records to look at the human impact on one such montane environment, the pre-alps of Savoy, over the long-term, from pre-history up to the pre-modern period. The use and modification of landscape is estimat…
Forestry and Flooding in the Annecy Petit Lac Catchment, Haute-Savoie 1730-2000
Upland environments are particularly vulnerable to the stresses of climate change. The strength and persistence of such forces are not easy to measure and hence comparison of climate impacts with anthropogenic impacts has remained problematic. This paper attempts to demonstrate the nature of human impact on forest cover and flooding in the Annecy Petit Lac Catchment in pre-Alpine Haute Savoie, France, between 1730 and 2000. Local documentary sour…
Migration as a Strategy of Accumulation: Social and Economic Change in Eighteenth-Century Savoy
Migration from the mountain areas of pre-industrial Europe has been seen as the product of poverty. While hardship controlled the strategies of the more marginalized households, better placed families used their migration experience to establish themselves in commerce. Over generations they used contacts and kinship systems to develop important informal trading networks. It is difficult to establish the effects of this hidden activity on local mo…

The Geography of Ignorance in Early-Modern France: A Response to Heffernan
This response draws more explicit attention to the ways in which both post-revolutionary ideology and modemrn theories of cultural and economic development have been pressed into service to propose an overly elitist interpretation of the spread of literate culture in France. It is suggested that functional literacy, which developed in southern areas with a long tradition of both written law and circular migration, may produce significant 'periphe…

A Geography of the Third World
David Livingstone: A Mid-Victorian Field Scientist
For over ioo years David Livingstone has been-regarded as a hero. Recent studies have revealed his more human qualities and failings. This paper examines his contribution as a geographer and field scientist in a period when amateurism was still respectable but when the uneasy relationship between science and religion was giving way to the professionalism and selfassurance of field sciences following Darwin. Evidence is examined to support the arg…

War-Towns in Sierra Leone: A Study in Social Change
Opening ParagraphOne of the most interesting features of the cultural landscape of Sierra Leone is the very large number of settlements which still bear the marks of the long period of anarchy which preceded the colonial era. This is reflected both in the choice of sites and in the internal structures of settlements. Such influences are still to be found despite the impermanence of mud and wattle buildings and the sixty years which have elapsed s…
