Charles Booth's London poverty maps "In the late nineteenth century, Charles Booth's landmark social and economic survey found that 35 percent of Londoners were living in abject poverty. Booth's team of social investigators interviewed Londoners from all walks of life, recording their comments, together with their own unrestrained remarks and statistical information, in 450 notebooks. Their findings formed the basis of Booth's color-coded social mapping (from vicious and semi-criminal to wealthy) and his seventeen-volume survey Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People of London, 1886-1903. Organized into six geographical sections, Charles Booth's London Poverty Maps presents the hand-colored preparatory and printed social mapping of London. Accompanying the maps are reproductions of pages from the original notebooks, containing anecdotes and observations too judgmental for Booth to include in his final published survey. An introduction by professor Mary S. Morgan clarifies the aims and methodology of Booth's survey and six themed essays contextualize the the [sic] survey's findings, accompanied by evocative period photographs. Providing insights into the minutia of everyday life viewed through the lens of inhabitants of every trade, class, creed, and nationality, Charles Booth's London Poverty Maps brings to life the diversity and dynamism of late nineteenth-century London."--Provided by the publisher. 2019. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 362.50942109
The neptune factor : Alfred Thayer Mahan and the concept of sea power /Nicholas A. Lambert. "Alfred Thayer Mahan's work has long been seen as foundational to the understanding of the purpose of a navy, yet interpretations of what he argued have become misrepresented over time. Far from presenting sea power in terms of combat, as is usually thought, The Neptune Factor demonstrates that Mahan ultimately defined it in terms of economics. Proceeding from the conviction that, historically, international trade carried across the world's oceans was the single greatest driver of national wealth (and thus power), Mahan charactized sea power as the ability to regulate access to the common and influence the flows of transoceanic trade."-- 2023. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359/.03
Four thousand lives lost : the inquiries of Lord Mersey into the sinkings of the Titantic, the Empress of Ireland, the Falaba and the Lusitania. /Alastair Walker. "Over four years, four ships were lost under different circumstances and 4,000 lives with them - but one thing linked them all: it was John Charles Bigham, Lord Mersey, who was appointed to head the inquiries into each disaster. Mersey is oftern referred to as a 'company man', or a government stooge. But is this the whole truth? Everyone has heard of Titanic and Lusitania but more passengers died when the Empress of Ireland sank in May 1914. That inquiry turned into a head-to-head between an American lawyer and a British one. Did Mersey let the right man win? Was he fair to Captain Lord of the Californian when he blamed him for the loss of so many lives on Titanic? The U-Boat that sank the Falaba with the loss of 104 lives behaved very differently to the one that torpedoed the Lusitania just six weeks later. Did Mersey reflect that in his findings or was he more interested in propaganda than truth?"--Back cover. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.61.085.3"19":92MERSEY
