The fishing boats story / Mike Smylie. "Britain has a history of producing and using a wonderful array of fishing boats, some of which still sail under private ownership. These older vessels developed in their own unique ways, dependent on local traditions, the type of fishing, their place of operation and innovation from fishermen and boatbuilders alike. Later, with motorisation, they changed dramatically through the steam era until the advent of the internal combustion engine. Today fishing boats old and new attract scores of people to fishing harbours everywhere, inspired by picturesque scenes, the life on board or the new breed of vessels with their modern technology in an ever-increasing competitive market."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 639.2.06

Letters from Iwo Jima : the Japanese eyewitness stories that inspired Clint Eastwood's film /Kumiko Kakehashi. Letters From Iwo Jima is an account detailing the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, fought between Japan and the US Marines during the Second World War. The account of the battle is told from the Japanese perspective, with particular focus on General Kuribayashi, who led the Japanese defence of the Island. Kakehashi combines the use of historical narrative of the events as well as letters written by Japanese soldiers, particularly Kuribayashi, to tell both the narrative of the battle and the personal impact it had on Japanese soldiers. While the book does contain a chapter on the narrative of the overall battle, it is more focused towards Kuribayashi and his preparations for the battle, as well as the impact the looming and imminent defeat for Japan had on both Kuribayashi and other soldiers on Iwo Jima. Kakehashi has included a detailed bibliography of her sources for further reading, as well as a series of black and white photographs relating to Kuribayashi and Iwo Jima. 2007. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.542.6"1945"

Britain in India, 1765-1905 / editors, John Marriott, Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay ; advisory editor, Partha Chatterjee. This is a six-volume collection of facsimile materials and comment relating to British rule in India, concentrating mainly on Bengal, following the East India Company's assumption of de facto power there in 1757. Volume 1 deals with the police and civil and criminal justice system. Penal legislation is covered along with a penal code prepared by the Indian Law Commissioners. There is a section on the Sonthal (or Santhal) Rebellion of the 1850s (also known as Santhal Hool or Hul). This was one of the major popular uprisings against the colonial state and their policies. Volume 2 deals with land revenue and trade, the Company's main source of revenue. There is an examination of the conditions and organization imposed on the agrarian economy of Bengal by the process of colonialism. The Tenancy Bills and various regulations relating to reform of the land revenue system are reproduced. There is also a section on the Indigo rebellion of 1860 which led to violent confrontations between the indigo planters and the colonial state. Volume 3 deals with education and colonial knowledge. There are reports of commissions and other bodies which examined the provision and development of education, in particular the foundation of a civil service college at Fort William. Volume 4 covers cultural and social interventions; it was deemed necessary to use civil law to reform local customs and practices in order to reduce distrust and corruption. The outlawing of the practice of suttee is covered. Volume 5 covers sovereignty and governance; it contains a selection of documents which aimed to unify the governance of India and transform it into 'British India'. Volume 6 deals with the public realm. It contains material on initiatives undertaken by the Company and the colonial state to address the problems of public health and famine. Volume 6 also contains an index to the facsimile texts in all 6 volumes. 2006. • BOOK • 6 copies available. 954(42)
