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
