Sail, Steam, and Diesel

Moving Cargo on the Great Lakes

By: Eric Hirsimaki

Water transportation has played a key role in the Great Lakes region’s settlement and economic growth, from providing entry into the new lake states to offering cheap transportation for the goods they produced. There are numerous tales surrounding the Great Lakes shipping trade, but few storytellers have addressed the factors that influenced the use, design, and evolution of the ships that sailed the inland seas. Sail, Steam, and Diesel: Moving Cargo on the Great Lakes provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Great Lakes ships over the centuries, from small birch-bark canoes originally used in the region to the massive thousand-footers of today. The author also looks at the economics of vessel operation in the context of the expanding scope of the shipping industry, which was crucial in catapulting America into becoming an industrial juggernaut. The captains of industry and the sailors whose labor propelled the trade populate this account, which also offers solemn acknowledgment of the high cost paid in both lost ships and lives. Although they might not realize it, millions of Americans have owed their livelihoods to the Great Lakes boats, and this volume is an excellent way to recognize the importance of this regional industry.

‘His Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote’: The incidence and influence of cricket in schoolboy stories

By: Eric Midwinter

For a hundred years, from about the 1850s to the 1950s, schoolboy stories were voraciously read by the vast majority of boys and a high proportion of girls. A huge proportion of these ‘ripping yarns’ were school-based stories – and cricket was an invariable element, From Tom Brown’s Schooldays to the ‘Red Circle’ tales of the Hotspur comic, older children of all classes were inducted into a culture in which cricket was admired as the ideal sport. Inevitably, this led to generations of parents and, importantly, teachers inculcating this concept into their offspring and pupils respectively. The chief relevant authors were self-proclaimed protagonists of the faith of Muscular Christianity; there was no accident about the creed they preached in their stories, inclusive of the righteous role of cricket in pursuit of their ideals. This text describes the sheer weight and longevity of cricket in this type of literature and the background and beliefs of its major progenitors. That also analyses the cultural and social impact of this intense volume of schoolboy cricket tales. The author’s controversial conclusion is that, in brief, it was good for cricket but bad for the nation’s education system. Here is a book, then, that will appeal not only to cricket fans but to those interested in children’s literature, social history and the development of today’s schools.

A Maritime History of Scotland, 1650-1790

A Maritime History of Scotland, 1650-1790

By: Eric J. Graham

The period 1650 to 1790 was such a turbulent one for Scottish seafarers that much of this fast-flowing narrative reads like Treasure Island. Colourful characters abound in a story teeming with incident and excitement: John Paul Jones descends upon the Scottish coast creating widespread panic; press gangs prowl the coastal towns; wartime conditions turn merchantmen into privateers fighting the French, the Spanish and the American Colonists – almost anyone flying a different flag; quaintly named vessels like The Provoked Cheesemaker are on the lookout for trouble. And the stakes were high. Glasgow became wealthy through the tobacco trade. Glasgow merchantmen could beat the English ships and sail to Chesapeake Bay in record time. Eric Graham traces the development of the Scottish marine and its institutions during a formative period, when state intervention and warfare at sea in the pursuit of merchantilist goals largely determined the course of events. He charts Scotland's frustrated attempts to join England in the Atlantic economy and so secure her prosperity – an often bitter relationship that culminated in the Darien Disaster. In the years that followed, maritime affairs were central to the move to embrace the full incorporating Act of 1707. After 1707, Scottish maritime aspirations flourished under the protection of the British Navigation Acts and the windfalls of the endemic warfare at sea.

Mapper of Mountains

M.P. Bridgland in the Canadian Rockies, 1902-1930

By: I. S. MacLaren,Eric Higgs,Gabrielle Zezulka-Mailloux

Mapper of Mountains follows the career of Dominion Land Surveyor Morrison Parsons Bridgland, who provided the first detailed maps of many regions of the Canadian Rockies. Between 1902 and 1930, this unheralded alpinist perfected phototopographical techniques to compile a series of mountaintop photographs during summers of field work. Mapper of Mountains also tells the story of the Rocky Mountain Repeat Photography Project, which studies the changes sustained in the Rockies, repeating the field work accomplished by Bridgland almost a century ago.

The Central Bank and the Financial System

By: Charles Albert Eric Goodhart

As economic advisor to the Bank of England for many years, C. A. E. Goodhart is uniquely positioned to assess the role of the central bank in the modern financial system. This book brings together twenty-one of his previously published articles dealing with the changing functions of central banks over time, recent efforts to maintain price stability, and debates over specific financial regulation proposals in the UK. Although the current day-to-day operations of central banks are subject to continuous comment and frequent criticism, their structural role within the economic system as a whole has generally been accepted without much question, despite several attempts by economists in recent decades to challenge the value of the institution. C. A. E. Goodhart brings his knowledge of both the theoretical arguments and the actual working of central banks to bear in these essays. Part I looks at the general purposes and functions of central banks within the financial system and their evolution over time. Part II concentrates on the current objectives and operations of central banks, and the maintenance of price stability in particular. Part III analyzes the broader issues of financial regulation.

By: Eric Brady

When Alf King (Gang Boss) and Fred are Summoned for Jury Service, both are appalled at how Regulars would react if they got to know. There seems no way out - until Eleanor sorts it. The Gang become resident night-time Security Guards on a mansion for the length of Jury Service - so stay well away from home territory. Alf and Fred are in the Jury for the trial of con-man and jewel thief (Hon. Michael Seafrood from whom Alf had 'lifted' the case of jewels) and persuade the rest to acquit him. Student Protesters (against Lottery Winners) raid the mansion, and then Masked Raiders - a Heavy Mob - attack to strip the mansion. The Students - now supporters of the mansion owner thanks to Eleanor and Alf - deal with them. The police come, backed by DS Cuthbertson and DC Wilde of Operation Monarch, arrest everyone - and Alf has his work cut out to get the release of all the Deserving.
