Council cottages and community in inter-war Britain: a study of class, culture,politics and place.
No full textPhDThis thesis makes a contribution to the debates surrounding the idea of community
on the cottage council estates of inter-war Britain. It questions the conventional
wisdom that community was lacking upon these estates. Recognising the
problematic nature of the notion of community, this thesis overcomes the confusion
inherent in the term when it is used to describe social structures by viewing
community instead as a structure of meaning, as a discursive rather than material
reality. This guides my examination of community on the estates. Rather than
there being no community, it is argued that there were at least three different
discourses of community, and what is important is the relationships between them.
Chapter One discusses the contexts in which these estates were built, and then sets
out the ways in which community is understood in this thesis. Chapter Two
explains the methodology that was used, a combination of archival and oral histoiy.
In Chapter Three Roehampton and Watling - the two estates this research focuses
upon - are described in order to provide the contextual setting for my interpretation
of the discourses of community that were present there. Chapter Four is concerned
with community from the viewpoint of the residents who lived on the estates.
Chapter Five considers discourses of community from the point of view of the
tenants' and residents' associations that developed upon Roehampton and Watling.
Chapter Six explores the discourse of community that was promoted on the estates
by the Community Association movement.
Overall the thesis argues that the discourses of community on inter-war
housing estates have to be understood in terms of the occupational structures,
cultures and politics of these estates

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host
No full textEnvironmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts. A glasshouse experiment was conducted to investigate the association between the Australian native stem hemiparasite Cassytha pubescens and the introduced host Ulex europaeus under high (HW) and low (LW) water supply. Cassytha pubescens had a significant, negative effect on the total biomass of U. europaeus, which was more severe in HW than LW. Regardless of watering treatment, infection significantly decreased shoot and root biomass, nodule biomass, nodule biomass per unit root biomass, F-v/F-m, and nitrogen concentration of U. europaeus. Host spine sodium concentration significantly increased in response to infection in LW but not HW conditions. Host water potential was significantly higher in HW than in LW, which may have allowed the parasite to maintain higher stomatal conductances in HW. In support of this, the delta C-13 of the parasite was significantly lower in HW than in LW (and significantly higher than the host). C. pubescens also had significantly higher F-v/F-m and 66% higher biomass per unit host in the HW compared with the LW treatment. The data suggest that the enhanced performance of C. pubescens in HW resulted in higher parasite growth rates and thus a larger demand for resources from the host, leading to poorer host performance in HW compared with LW. C. pubescens should more negatively affect U. europaeus growth under wet conditions rather than under dry conditions in the field

Henry Adams, Jr. letter to father, February 5, 1952
No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.
In this three-page letter written on decorative notepaper, Junior writes about his army experiences, and says that he feels like Jackie Robinson, a test case for integrated units in the military. The United States Army was not integrated during World War II; African Americans and whites served in separate units. Harry Truman issued an executive order intended to end segregation in the Army in January of 1948, and letters such as this indicate that the executive order took some time to become fully effective
