110 handwritten page leather bound diary ; Diary detailing a Tennessee soldier's day-to-day movements and military action

Speech given at Chamber of Commerce ; back to bed rock - agree on some fundamental objectives - disregard for the moment points of conflict. We can promulgate a statement of general policy. We must do that or we shan't be sure of our objectives. The Declaration of Independence was a simple statement of general policy. Also was the Constitution. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was immortal because it articulated a prevailing sentiment. Can we not all agree that every proposal for governmental action shall be measured by the contribution it can make to individual freedom and national security? For a decade or more prior to this war the world failed to take into account that the individual values freedom above all else. We went chasing off after "security" - something that never was intended we should have, in an absolute sense. The only security that an individual may have is bound up in the word

We used improved information on fecundity and credible estimates of survival to define the plausible bounds of maximum intrinsic rate of population increase (r
m) in magpie geese and explored the management and conservation implications, given current estimates of off-take. We considered previous estimates of r
m (0.78, based on time-series analysis of aerial count data) and the corresponding predicted maximum sustainable harvest rates (30–39% per annum) to be excessive, thereby risking poor management decisions. In contrast, our estimate of the maximum plausible range of r
m (0.11–0.28) is substantially lower than the previous estimate, and suggests maximum harvest rates of no more than 5–14% of total population size per annum. We consider that it would be unwise to adopt the prior estimate of r
m for management policy because it would risk over-exploitation. Our results embody a more precautionary approach to assessing maximum sustainable yield for magpie geese in northern Australia, and are not confounded by migration. The move from a simple empirical model to a partially mechanistic one reflects a significant improvement in understanding, but must nevertheless be viewed as part of an ongoing process of model refinement and testing.

Recent literature on the history of family in Japan reveals that what is commonly understood as the "traditional" Japanese family—called the ie family—is largely a political construct that was institutionalized in Japan's Meiji period (1868–1912). While the ie model was effectively removed from the US-imposed postwar constitution and replaced with the western nuclear family as the new ideal, this historical analysis reveals that the neo-Confucian principles and social structures of the ie model were reintegrated into Japan's company work culture, to the degree that the ie continued to shape Japan's collectivist social structures and identities well beyond the end of the war. This analysis highlights key ideologies employed by the ruling elite in modern Japan as a means of social control and nation building. It demonstrates a continuation of the historically close relationship between family and the state in postwar Japan that challenges deterministic notions of westernization applied to the Japanese context; it highlights articulations of family that complicate culturally bound conceptions that see it as inherently separate from the state, and clarifies the modern history of collectivist society in Japan.
