Book excerpt: World War Two brought unimaginable destruction to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, a remote colonial possession set in the vastness of the South-West Pacific. A global war, which had started in Europe in September 1939 had finally reached this 'fragment of Empire' so far away. For the people of Solomon Islands, who had led a traditional village existence for countless centuries, the early days of 1942 brought terror and hardship. Japanese Imperial naval, air and ground units swept into their lives from bases in neighbouring New Guinea, the horror of modern, mechanised warfare bringing fear and torment. Against the invading foe, the people of Solomon Islands stood firm and honoured their commitment and loyalty as protected persons of the British Empire. Redemption came on the 7th August 1942 when an Allied armada, spearheaded by the US Marines, landed on the northern coast of Guadalcanal, seizing the airstrip then under Japanese construction. The resulting Battle of Guadalcanal, which raged until early 1943 and cost thousands of Allied and Japanese lives, marked a turning point in the fortunes of the wider Pacific war. This book, by the late John Innes, recounts the experience of World War Two in Solomon Islands. John was, arguably, the most respected military historian in Solomon Islands and he spent years exploring the battlefields, researching in archives and speaking with veterans from home and abroad. His expertise won him the title of Honorary Marine, conferred by the US Marine Corps, honorary status with the US Marine Raiders' Association and a reputation as a skilled tour guide, raconteur and author. For his community and military history efforts, the Solomon Islands Government honoured John with the Solomon Islands Medal (SIM). Although John is, sadly, no longer with us, it is a pleasure to have his important book re-published to both mark the Battle of Guadalcanal and to recognise the courage and loyalty of the Solomon Islanders who fought in WWII. Their exemplary service, and that of US, British, Australian, New Zealand and Fijian military personnel, enabled the Pacific to have the freedom and peace which it enjoys today.

Download or read book James Dickson Innes 1887 1914 written by John Hoole and published by Lund Humphries Publishers Limited. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Dickson Innes (1887-1914) was a Welsh painter who is best known for his Post-Impressionist landscape paintings of Wales. His burgeoning artistic career was tragically cut short by his death aged 27 from TB, but his output of paintings was nevertheless prolific. This is the first book to provide an overview of his art and life and is published to coincide with an exhibition at the National Museum Wales marking the centenary of his death.Innes was born in South Wales and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, from 1905 to 1908, where he met fellow artist Derwent Lees. In 1907 he began a friendship with Augustus John, and with John and Lees Innes wandered over a remote and unfashionable part of North Wales in pursuit of a romantic freedom. He also made several trips abroad in order to paint, most importantly to Collioure, France, in 1908 and 1911.This new book, which incorporates a catalogue of all his known works, provides Innes' growing following of collectors with a definitive source of reference on his work. The scope of the book, while providing an analysis of Innes' stylistic developments, also touches upon, and illustrates, the work of some of his close friends and collaborators, Derwent Lees, Albert Rutherston, John Fothergill and Augustus John. Through the inclusion of accounts of Innes by his male contemporaries, a picture of his personality and his industry is revealed as well as their sense of loss at his early death at the age of 27.

Download or read book Streptomyces in Nature and Medicine written by D. A. Hopwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an insiders account of 50 years of genetic studies of the soil-inhabiting microbes that produce most of the antibiotics used to treat infections, as well as anti-cancer, anti-parasitic and immunosuppressant drugs. The book begins by describing how these microbes the actinomycetes were discovered in the latter part of the nineteenth century, but remained a Cinderella group until, in the 1940s, they shot to prominence with the discovery of streptomycin, the first effective treatment for tuberculosis and only the second antibiotic, after penicillin, to become a medical marvel. There followed a massive effort over several decades to find further treatments for infectious diseases and cancer, tempered by the rise of antibiotic resistance consequent on antibiotic misuse and over-use. The book goes on to describe the discovery of gene exchange in the actinomycetes in the context of the rise of microbial genetics in the mid-20th century, leading to determination of the complete DNA sequence of a model member of the group at the turn of the millennium. There follow chapters in which the intricate molecular machinery that adapts the organisms metabolism and development to life in the soil, including antibiotic production, is illuminated by the DNA blueprint. Then come an up-to-the minute account of the use of genetic engineering to make novel, hybrid, antibiotics, and a topical description of techniques to learn the roles of the thousands of genes in a genome sequence, throwing a powerful light on the biology of the organisms and their harnessing for increasing antibiotic productivity. In the final chapter we return to the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis and leprosy, the first actinomycetes to be discovered, and how methodology, in part derived from the study of the streptomycetes, is being applied to understand and control these still deadly pathogens.
Download or read book Modern Potting Composts written by A. C. Bunt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have seen rapid advances in the technology used to produce pot plants. Glasshouses designed and orientated to give maximum light transmission, fully automatic heating and ventilating systems, carbon dioxide enrichment of the atmosphere, controlled photoperiods using automatic blackouts and incandescent lamps which enable plants such as chrysanthemum to be flowered at any time of the year, mist propagation techniques, chemical growth regulators which control the height of plants, automatic watering and feeding systems, etc.: these are only some of the developments which have transformed pot plant culture. There have also been many changes in the composts and systems used to grow the plants. Mineral soils, which formed the basis of the John Innes Composts, are now either too expensive or too difficult to obtain in suitable quality and sufficient quantity. Consequently the grower has been forced to seek other materials such as peat, perlite, vermiculite, plastic foam, shredded bark, etc. New types of fertilisers, new methods of heat sterilisation and new chemical sterilising agents are also being used.
