Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social and symbolical meanings. By placing these meanings at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in this volume extend the study of the gun beyond the confines of military history and the examination of its impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on this most pervasive of technological artefacts, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships between firearms and broad processes of social change. In so doing, they contribute to a fuller understanding of some of the most significant consequences of British and American imperial expansions. Not the least original feature of the book is its global frame of reference. Bringing together historians of different periods and regions, A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire overcomes traditional compartmentalisations of historical knowledge and encourages the drawing of novel and illuminating comparisons across time and space.

This book, first published in 1989, examines how a seemingly trivial incident can act as a flashpoint for wider disturbances. It investigates the underlying causes, the immediate context of the events, and the communication between police and crowd that takes place within them. The authors’ findings are based on first-hand research into case studies of political demonstrations, community disorder and industrial picketing in South Yorkshire, UK over a five-year period. Wide-ranging in its approach, the book covers industrial relations, police-community relations, and questions of political representation and legal rights. The authors provide a novel theoretical analysis, drawing on both sociology and social psychology, which they apply to their own case studies and to other instances of disorder, from Grosvenor Square in 1968 to Wapping in 1986. They also consider the possible impact of new public order legislation, and the policy implications of their research.

Following their dreams, Bob and Karen Jones set out from Corpus Christi, Texas, in their 15 year-old, 30-foot sailboat, Watercolors, to explore the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts taking them to Chesapeake Bay. Their adventure mostly follows America's Intracoastal Waterway that winds through remote bays and inlets formed by numerous barrier islands. In these estuaries, they encounter an abundance of osprey, pelicans, herons, ducks, geese, cormorants, and dolphins, as well as the rarer bald eagles and whooping cranes. The Waterway also leads to villages and towns that make their livelihood from the water as is very much evident in the delicious oysters, blue crab, and shrimp served up at local cafes. Other stops are at major seaports including Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Savannah, and Charleston which serve a delightful dose of history extending back to early colonial times.The Chesapeake is an ideal cruising ground with villages such as Deltaville, Onancock, Crisfield, St. Michaels, and Oxford wedded to the water by crabbing, oystering, and boatbuilding. Bob and Karen enjoy exploring rivers with such enticing names as Wicomico, Choptank, Piankatank, Rappahannock, Patapsco, and Potomac, as well as the major cities of Baltimore and Washington, and the sailing center of Annapolis. In the late fall they return to Florida where they abandon their plans to return to Texas in the spring in favor of returning to the Chesapeake for further sailing adventures and a chance to traverse the Dismal Swamp.They encounter the usual cruising challenges of navigation, dragging anchors, provisioning, mechanical and electric breakdowns, water leaks, and approaching hurricanes.Karen's Living Aboard sections describe life aboard a boat for many months from a women's perspective.Bob's Nature Notebook sections explore conservation efforts preserving wetlands and migrating birds as well as looking at future challenges of overfishing, protecting sea turtles, and rising sea levels.303 pages, 109 B&W photographs, 3 maps
