Military Life at Fort Atkinson 1819-1827
No full textThis thesis uses an in depth examination of documents and other archeological finds in order to give an accurate description of military life at Fort Atkinson from 1819-1827.During the summer of 1956, the Nebraska State Historical Society Field Party, conducted by Marvin F. Kivett, Director of the Museum, excavated a portion of the site of the fort, near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.The author was granted access to the material recovered by this archeological field party for the writing of this thesis.
The author first gives an examination of the background behind For Atkinson, including a description of the Yellowstone Expedition and the expedition for Council Bluffs.The author then goes on to discuss the construction of the fort, the general routines of those who lived at Fort Atkinson, the quartermaster and their duties, the medical department and even details of the musicians and band that worked at the fort.The author also wrote of the relations Fort Atkinson had with neighboring Indian tribes and finally discusses the reasons behind the decision to abandon Fort Atkinson and the overall significance of Fort Atkinson.

Nancy Atkinson
No full textAn Author Event presented by The Friends of the University of Adelaide Library, 16 August 2018, Ira Raymond Exhibition Room, Barr Smith Library.Emma will speak about Nancy Atkinson who was a pioneer bacteriologist in antibiotics and salmonellas from 1939 at the University of Adelaide and the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science. Interestingly, Emma’s grandmother, Jessica McEwin (nee Mawson), was working at the University of Adelaide as a bacteriologist at the same time as Nancy Atkinson. Writing about Nancy continues Emma’s theme of promoting lives which might otherwise go unrecognised. Situating Nancy Atkinson in the context of women scientists of the 20th Century and more particularly in the context of South Australian women scientists will help to highlight the significance of her achievements and contributions to scientific research. Emma will be making use of Nancy’s papers that are held in Special Collections

Bounded Sequential Dominance Criteria
No full textIn the spirit of Fleurbaey et al. (2001), it is tempting to introduce more reasonable lower and upper bounds in Atkinson and Bourguigon’s (1987) sequential generalized Lorenz dominance procedure. Unfortunately, our proposal leads, at best, to an average household income criterion, which is unsuited to make heterogeneous welfare comparisons. We therefore restrict attention to imposing either lower or upper bounds, resulting in two new sequential dominance criteria.

Embodied Visions in William Blake's Visions of the Daughters of Albion
No full textWilliam Blake characterised an abstract as “A murderer of its own Body,” an attempt to impose stable mastery on an unstable reality (E153). This thesis reads Blake’s illuminated poem, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, from the ‘unstable’ perspective of ‘Embodied Visions,’ based on the hypothesis that readings of the poem have often been distorted by the imposition of binary divisions: divisions that are undermined within the work itself. This approach to Visions of the Daughters of Albion is in three chapters: firstly aligning Blake’s work with Japanese manga artist Tezuka Osamu (1928-1989), tracing the construction of Blake in Japan, and how this can occasion new perspectives; secondly I read Visions with Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, placing both texts in response to oppressive sexual prescriptions of the 1790s, in order to chart where they concur and diverge; and finally I examine the effect of dualistic critical frames on readings of Visions, arguing that we must read the sections exploring perception as continuous with the rest of the poem in order to appreciate Blake’s engagement with an embodied reality

Tilting at Windmills : BLDSC and the UK Higher Education Community
No full textPurpose - To provide an overview of, the relationship between the British Library and higher education libraries in the 1990s, with particular relation to document supply. It also goes on to explore current developments in scholarly communication. Design/methodology/approach - The author played a role in several of the events described and uses the available literature to enlarge on a personal view of that decade. Findings - The paper shows that the relationship was a strained one caused in part by a mismatch of resources, but is in any case dwarfed by the larger external forces and changing opportunities and technologies for scholarly communication. Originality/value - Provides a record of the period
