Southern African Climate Change
Southern Africa, along with the Mediterranean and eastern South America, is one of three major land regions projected to dry in the future. Confidence in the drying trend relies on a clear understanding of the regional climate and evaluation of the climate models used for projections. This paper reviews our understanding of southern African climate and evaluates the performance of successive climate model generations. A key finding is improved co…
At home, he’s a pet, at work he’s a colleague and my right arm
Increased attention is being paid to non-human animals, inspired in part by Human-Animal Studies and theoretical frameworks which reveal the fragility of human/animal dualism. Via the application of posthumanist performativity, we explore the recruitment and careers of police dogs via organisational analysis. It reveals a complex process of a dog becoming a police dog. Police dogs are placed within a speciesist hierarchy where they hold a positio…
A Political Biography of Richard Steele
Richard Steele is famous as an early writer of sentimental drama and as half of the writing team, Addison and Steele. He is notable both for the indirect propaganda he developed with Addison and for the open partisanship of his own periodicals. He wrote extensively about responsible economics but was famously irresponsible in his own affairs

As an author, he published a variety of works, including The Old Printer and the Modern Press (also reissued in this series). He claimed that this six-volume work on the architecture and history of L…

Passages of a Working Life during Half a Century
Charles Knight (1791–1873), the son of a Windsor bookseller, was apprenticed to his father at fourteen. He read widely and systematically, and began to buy, collect and sell rare books.

Almanac 2011
This overview highlights some recent advances in the epidemiology, diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment of acute coronary syndromes. The sheer volume of new studies reflects the robust state of global cardiovascular research but the focus here is on findings that are of most interest to the practising cardiologist. Incidence and mortality rates for myocardial infarction are in decline, probably owing to a combination of lifestyle changes,…

The Images of Nations in Eighteenth-Century Satire
THE TERMS THEMSELVES are so unstable that one wonders whether to see satire as the ideological tool of nationalism or nationalism as a satiric fantasy. Satire addresses history through the literary imagination, and this combination of actuality and fantasy gives satiric nationalism conflicting potential functions. The satiric imagination may assemble the diverse features of nationalism, or it may question the unreal connections that nations asser…
Listening to Encolpius
The Satyricon of Petronius simultaneously fascinates and mystifies, and the difficulties of interpreting it are intensified by the fragmentary nature of its text and the uncertainties of its authorship. The identification of its author with the Petronius Arbiter described by Tacitus is an unverifiable probability. The significance and even the spelling of the title have been subject to debate. The text survives in imperfect manuscripts, most of w…
