It argues that, far from being excluded entirely from British industry, disability and disabled people were central to its development. The burgeoning coalfields literature used images of disability on a frequent basis and disabled characters were used to represent the human toll of the industry.Ī diverse range of sources are used to examine the economic, social, political and cultural impact of disability in the coal industry, looking beyond formal coal company and union records to include autobiographies, novels and oral testimony. And yet disabled people remained a constant presence in the industry as many disabled miners continued their jobs or took up ‘light work’. During this time, the statutory provision for disabled people changed considerably, most notably with the first programme of state compensation for workplace injury. The book considers the coal industry at a time when it was one of Britain’s most important industries, and follows it through a period of growth up to the First World War, through strikes, depression and wartime, and into an era of decline. This book examines the British coal industry through the lens of disability, using an interdisciplinary approach to examine the lives of disabled miners and their families. However, the experiences of the many disabled people within Britain’s most dangerous industry have gone largely unrecognised by historians. Coalmining was a notoriously dangerous industry and many of its workers experienced injury and disease.

Keywords: Marine Corps, operational art, naval integration, great power competition, expeditionary warfare, maneuver warfare To do so, the Corps must shed its traditional focus on the tactical level of war and instead embrace operational art to retain enduring relevance during naval campaigns in the context of all-domain, globally integrated operations that span the competition continuum. While materiel and organizational adaptations will play a central role in facilitating this revolution, the Marine Corps must also revise its theoretical approach to operations and its doctrinal hierarchy to generate greater value for the U.S. In catalyzing an operational warfare revolution, the Commandant aims to foster organizational change while realigning the Marine Corps to its role as the nation’s naval expeditionary force-in-readiness. This reality reflects the cumulative effects of protracted conflict ashore and the reemergence of great power competition. Marine Corps is not prepared for the challenges of the future operating environment. Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, asserted that the U.S. In the spirit of Bridget Jones' Diary, this fresh, irreverent, and simply hilarious book will leave you laughing out loud. In this wildly funny journal of a year in the life of Georgia Nicolson, British author Louise Rennison has perfectly captured the soaring joys and bottomless angust if being a teenager.

And her interactions with Kyutaro whether funny or serious or sweet I adored, and I’m not afraid to admit that I ship these two hard, lol. The only caution I would say is if you don’t like huge bugs (centipedes to be exact) you might want to skip this one as they are ugly and HUGE and I wouldn’t want nightmares about these if I was afraid of them!įumi is amazing yet such a hoot-I cracked up laughing at things she said and thought more than once especially in regards to her “Cinderella dream life goal” not to mention there’s one panel where she’s questioning why a chandelier has so many lightbulbs when one would have sufficed which really cracked me up. I love the metaphor yet reality of the “bugs” and how our minds must be cleaned of all the negative trash inside and how we have to be careful to not become infected-as someone with depression this really hit me and I appreciate the understanding and care behind the story as you can really tell the mangaka cared about this message while also having fun with the story. I did NOT expect to love it this much though, nor was I prepared for how funny yet serious this volume is and how the mangaka was able to balance these opposite ends SO WELL! My friend read and reviewed this series fairly recently and upon seeing that my library had it, I thought I would give it a shot since the premise was interesting and my friend loved it. When I realised that the world was not hiring for a ‘sarcastic but benign Supreme Ruler of the Universe’ I’ve decided to focus on my passion. That between the pages of a book you are able to craft enchanted forests and castles, perilous quest ABOUT ME I adore that there is no end in sight to where your own imagination can take you. Let’s put it this way J K Rowling has a lot to answer for. I’m part of the Harry Potter generation and while waiting between books would literally devour any book I could get my hands on. I have been writing never ending stories since the age of 11 and this all stemmed from my love of reading. By day I work in a UK company’s finance department and by night I become my alter ego Scribble Girl. ABOUT ME When I realised that the world was not hiring for a ‘sarcastic but benign Supreme Ruler of the Universe’ I’ve decided to focus on my passion. What most people in that store probably didn’t realize is that Sahni is part of the reason many Americans even know what garam masala is. But no one else in the store seemed to notice her encyclopedic understanding of Indian cuisine. With every step, she rattled off a piece of knowledge, from the right way to select okra (it shouldn’t make a clicking sound when you slide it between your fingers), to the correct color of good quality coriander seeds (yellow-ish green), to her method for preserving curry leaves (freeze them). At a Patel Brothers in Jackson Heights, Julie Sahni - dressed simply in a pink tunic and scarf, a black satchel slung across her front - marched purposefully through the aisles, two students from her cooking school trailing behind her. Many of the essays are set in the inner and south-western suburbs of a major Australian city in the midst of rapid change. These affectingly personal essays consider how all-consuming the engagement with the ordinary can be, and how even small encounters and interactions can illuminate our lives. But what about those who feel anxious, uncomfortable, unsettled within these havens? In The World Was Whole, Fiona Wright examines how we inhabit and remember the familiar spaces of our homes and suburbs, as we move through them and away from them into the wider world, devoting ourselves to the routines and rituals that make up our lives. Our bodies and homes are our shelters, each one intimately a part of the other. Kibble Award and the Queensland Literary Award for Non-fiction shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the NSW Premier's Award for Non-fiction. The follow-up to Fiona Wright's essay collection Small Acts of Disappearance, - winner of the Nita B. The story goes that in the late 16th Century, Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel of Prague, also known as the Maharal (the Hebrew acronym of “Moreinu ha-Rav Loew” ‘Our Teacher, Rabbi Loew’), created a Golem of clay from the banks of the Vltava River and brought it to life through rituals and Hebrew incantations to defend the Prague ghetto from the frequent anti-Semitic attacks and pogroms. Steiner-Prag’s place of birth is relevant to this slice of Jewish folklore. Here we show atmospheric illustrations of the Golem as conceived by Prague-born artist Hugo Steiner-Prag (1880 – 1945) for Gustav Meyrink’s novel Der Golem, 1915. Agent Mulder is convinced that the Golem is attempting to avenge the murder. Soon after, one of the assailants is strangled to death. In that show, a Jewish man is murdered by racists. Readers may recognise the Golem from Kaddish, an episode of the science fiction television series The X-Files. The Golem, as conceived by Hugo Steiner-Prag, for Gustav Meyrink’s novel Der Golem. |
