AbstractSediment modelling techniques are applied to the River Eden at Great Musgrave (in Cumbria) utilising (for the first time) the software ISIS‐Sediment for UK gravel‐bed rivers. This work was undertaken in an attempt to determine any potential adverse geomorphological impacts which may result from the development of a weir for flood‐warning purposes. The modelling exercise found that the development of the weir was unlikely to significantly affect sediment transport, and therefore would not impact upon the morphological characteristics of the river bed in the vicinity of the weir. Site investigation, subsequent to the construction of the weir, confirmed that the findings of the modelling exercise were fundamentally correct.

ABSTRACTThis paper briefly reviews the evolution of river‐bank erosion management and the developing role of geomorphology in this field. The location and design of a traditional solution to erosion on the River Brock, Forest of Bowland is considered, and its failure under moderate flood conditions is analysed. The geomorphological processes at work at the site are identified and assessed, and conclusions for the ongoing management of the site are presented. The future role of geomorphology in river managment is also considered.

This paper employs H.Braverman's theoretical framework to ana lyze the development of the labor process in the industrial equipment, or "engin eering" industry in the U.K. Though Braverman's distinction between labor and labor-power clearly provides many essential insights, it is nevertheless funda mentally defective inasmuch as it ignores what are seen to be important aspects in the historical evolution in the industry. Most centrally, Braverman's analysis oversimplifies the complex nature of the class struggle, specifically the extent and effectiveness of workers' and employers' organizations and divisions within them. Secondly, insufficient attention is paid to the constraint imposed by the structure and conditions of the market. In the concrete history discussed here, both the nature and intensity of the class struggle as well as competition in the product market are seen to be fundamental determinants of the development of the labor process.

A significant reinterpretation of Sarawak history, Power and Prowess explores the network of power, economic and ritual relationships that developed on the northwest coast of Borneo in the mid-nineteenth century, from which a coalition led by James Brooke established the state of Sarawak. Where many authors placed Brooke in the context of nineteenth century British imperialism, this study perceives him in the context of Bornean cultures and political economies. Brooke emerges from the historical record as a 'man of prowess', with the author identifying important ritual sources of Brooke's power among Malays, Bidayuh and Ibans, sources which derived from and expressed indigenous cultural traditions about fertility, health and status.Drawing on conceptual frameworks from political science, as well as recent southeast Asian historiography, Power and Prowess offers a detailed political history of the period and new interpretations of Brooke's career. This study also retrieves from the historical sources previously concealed narratives which reflect the interests, priorities and activities of Sarawak people themselves.J.H. WALKER lectures in political science at the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
