A twice-daily barometric pressure record from Durham Observatory in north-east England, 1843-1960
No full textThis dataset consists of twice-daily observations of barometric pressure from Durham Observatory (54.768 °N, 1.584 °W, barometer cistern 107.3 m above mean sea level, MSL) from 23 July 1843 to 31 December 1960. The Durham record, which is 98.7% complete, is by far the longest digital barometric pressure series in northern England, and fills a very large temporal and spatial gap in the International Surface Pressure Database (ISPD).
A paper describing the data series has been submitted to Geoscience Data Journal, April 2021; prior to acceptance/publication, a copy is available from the author at [email protected]

Randall Jarrell and His Age
No full textRandall Jarrell (1914–1965) was the most influential poetry critic of his generation. He was also a lyric poet, comic novelist, translator, children\u27s book author, and close friend of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, Hannah Arendt, and many other important writers of his time. Jarrell won the 1960 National Book Award for poetry and served as poetry consultant to the Library of Congress. Amid the resurgence of interest in Randall Jarrell, Stephen Burt offers this brilliant analysis of the poet and essayist.
Burt\u27s book examines all of Jarrell\u27s work, incorporating new research based on previously undiscovered essays and poems. Other books have examined Jarrell\u27s poetry in biographical or formal terms, but none have considered both his aesthetic choices and their social contexts. Beginning with an overview of Jarrell\u27s life and loves, Burt argues that Jarrell\u27s poetry responded to the political questions of the 1930s, the anxieties and social constraints of wartime America, and the apparent prosperity, domestic ideals, and professional ideology that characterized the 1950s. Jarrell\u27s work is peopled by helpless soldiers, anxious suburban children, trapped housewives, and lonely consumers. Randall Jarrell and His Age situates the poet-critic among his peers―including Bishop, Lowell, and Arendt―in literature and cultural criticism. Burt considers the ways in which Jarrell\u27s efforts and achievements encompassed the concerns of his time, from teen culture to World War II to the Cuban Missile Crisis; the book asks, too, how those efforts might speak to us now.https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/rpw_bkaw/1015/thumbnail.jp
