Stratigraphically Homogeneous Zones’
This study presents an automated method for the construction and spatialization of stratigraphic columns, facilitating the creation of maps of Stratigraphically Homogeneous Zones (SHZ). This approach integrates GIS tools with custom Python scripts, streamlining the manual process traditionally used in Seismic Microzonation (SM) studies according to Italian standards. Our method allows for rapid, scalable processing and provides a detailed geologi…
Geology and structure of the Serre Massif upper crust
A new geological-structural map of the southern Serre Massif (SM), in the south-central part of the Calabrian-Peloritani-Orogen (CPO), is provided. CPO is a ribbon-like microplates puzzle, originally belonging to the southern European Variscan Belt and, later involved into the Alpine geodynamics of the central Mediterranean Area. The SM represents one of the key European Variscan basement relicts, because of its exhumation mechanisms as well as f…

Micro-Fabric Analyzer (MFA)
Micro-Fabric Analyzer (MFA) is a new GIS-based tool for the quantitative extrapolation of rock microstructural features that takes advantage both of the characteristics of the X-ray images and the optical image features. Most of the previously developed edge mineral grain detectors are uniquely based on the physical properties of the X-ray-, electron-, or optical-derived images; not permitting the exploitation of the specific physical properties …
ArcStereoNet
ArcStereoNet is a new ArcGIS® based toolbox for stereographic projections that we implement here using Python 2.7 programming language. The reason to develop another stereographic projection package arises from the recent use of Python as an exclusive programming language within the ArcGIS® environment. This permits a more flexible approach for the development of tools with very intuitive GUIs, and also allows the user to take full advantage of a…
Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, Class, Politics, and the Decline of Deference in England, 1968–2000
Breaking Ranks
C. P. Snow's identification of ‘two cultures’, as the literary critic F. R. Leavis pointed out in 1962, represents not an insight but a cliché, one that invites the repetition of further clichés about the origins of a divided culture, the need to bridge cultures, the emergence of a third culture, or the reality of one culture. Yet this recurrent feature of ‘two cultures’ talk does not nullify the concept's value as an object of study, if these di…
Petro-structural geology of the Eastern Aspromonte Massif crystalline basement (southern Italy-Calabria)
The presented maps provide an example of the synoptic display of multi-scale geological features characterizing the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the crystalline basement terranes in a poly-orogenic-multistadial evolutionary scenario. The petro-structural map of the eastern Aspromonte Massif (southern Calabrian Peloritani Orogen) is characterized by a nappe-like edifice composed by the superimposition of three crystalline basement tectonic uni…
The Typicalities of the English? Walt Rostow, the Stages of Economic Growth , and Modern British History
Walt Rostow wanted his landmark contribution to modernization theory, The Stages of Economic Growth: A Non-communist Manifesto (1960), to offer an alternative to Marxist analysis, and in service of that effort he sought to replace class with nation as the agent of history. Britain figured prominently in the resulting account, functioning as everything from a trailblazing pioneer to an idiosyncratic anomaly to a cautionary tale for weak-kneed Amer…

The Listener Historical Archive, 1929-1991
The BBC’s weekly magazine, the Listener, originated as an aid to students, and now—twenty years after its final issue—this marvellous resource enables that mission to continue in a new form. With origins not in the Radio Times, but rather in the ‘Aids to Study’ produced by the BBC’s adult education section, the Listener was designed to fall—in content, price, and audience—somewhere between John O’London’s and the Spectator. Initially, critics wor…
Planning the Urban Future in 1960s Britain
This article recovers Buckinghamshire county council's proposal to build a monorail city for 250,000 residents during the 1960s. The project was eventually taken over by Whitehall, which proceeded to establish Britain's largest new town of Milton Keynes instead, but from 1962 to 1968 local officials pursued their monorail metropolis. By telling the story of ‘North Bucks New City’, the article develops a series of claims. First, the proposal shoul…
The literature and the science of ‘two cultures’ historiography
F. R. Leavis, Science, and the Abiding Crisis of Modern Civilization
When the scientist-turned-novelist C. P. Snow and the literary critic F. R. Leavis clashed in the infamous ‘two cultures’ debate of the early 1960s, theirs was the latest instalment in a long tradition discussing the relationship between the arts and sciences.2 That tradition included the exchanges between T. H. Huxley and Matthew Arnold in the 1880s, the Cambridge Union’s debate over the proposition that “the sciences are destroying the arts” in…
