Journal of HMS PLOVER's Royal Marines sergeant William Simpson, recounting his experiences during the 1848-50 arctic expedition sent in search of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. The PLOVER, commanded by Captain Thomas E L Moore, left Plymouth in January 1848 and sailed to the Bering Strait in the western Arctic, with the intention of rendezvousing with the HERALD (captained by Henry Kellett) and the hope of delivering provisions to Franklin, whom it was believed might be trapped near the western exit of the North-West Passage. In 1849, Moore's expedition wintered in (and named) Providence Bay in north eastern Siberia. Simpson's account spans the ship's departure from England in 1848 to his premature return to England, due to illness, via Hong Kong and Hawaii, in 1850. Key events in the journal include Simpson's account of his excursion to an Inuit settlement (referenced in his crewmate William Hulme Hooper's ethnographical study 'Ten Months among the Tents of the Tuski'), encounters with arctic wildlife as the expedition's designated specimen collector, and descriptions of Christmas festivities while wintering in the Arctic. The journal also records several instances of the crew's varying attitudes towards the use of Inuit testimony in the search for Franklin and references to William Pullen's 1848 overland expedition to the Mackenzie River. During conservation, the journal's pages have been renumbered and are not in chronological order. Pages 79-112 recount the first months of the expedition up until Christmas 1848. Pages 1-15 are a heavily embellished rewriting of several events that occurred during this early stage of the expedition, including Simpson's temporary demotion and the Plover's 1848 Christmas celebrations. The remainder of the journal (16-78) follows directly and chronologically from this rewritten account. It is unclear whether pages 16-78 are also an embellished rewriting of an earlier version of Simpson's experiences as, in what appears to be the original version (79-112), the final page ends in the middle of the entry for Christmas Day 1848 and an unknown number of pages are missing. A printed transcript of JOD/76/1 (prepared by two doctoral students in May 2018) is also available.

Aboriginal approaches to the naming of places across Australia differ radically from the official introduced Anglo-Australian system. However, many of these earlier names have been incorporated into contemporary nomenclature, with considerable reinterpretations of their function and form. Recently, state jurisdictions have encouraged the adoption of a greater number of Indigenous names, sometimes alongside the accepted Anglo-Australian terms, around Sydney Harbour, for example. In some cases, the use of an introduced name, such as Gove, has been contested by local Indigenous people. The 19 studies brought together in this book present an overview of current issues involving Indigenous placenames across the whole of Australia, drawing on the disciplines of geography, linguistics, history, and anthropology. They include meticulous studies of historical records, and perspectives stemming from contemporary Indigenous communities. The book includes a wealth of documentary information on some 400 specific placenames, including those of Sydney Harbour, the Blue Mountains, Canberra, western Victoria, the Lake Eyre district, the Victoria River District, and southwestern Cape York Peninsula.

In the present book the Paleogene fossil record of birds is detailed for the first time on a worldwide scale. I have developed the idea for such a project for several years, and think that it is an appropriate moment to present a summary of our c- rent knowledge of the early evolution of modern birds. Meanwhile not only is there a confusing diversity of fossil taxa, but also significant progress has been made concerning an understanding of the higher-level phylogeny of extant birds. Hypotheses which were not considered even a decade ago are now well supported by independent analyses of different data. In several cases these group together morphologically very different avian groups and allow a better understanding of the mosaic character distribution found in Paleogene fossil birds. The book aims at bringing some of this information together, and many of the following data are based on first-hand examination of fossil specimens.

From Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 search for the Northwest Passage to early twentieth-century sprints to the South Pole, polar expeditions produced an extravagant archive of documents that are as varied as they are engaging. As the polar ice sheets melt, fragments of this archive are newly emergent. In The News at the Ends of the Earth Hester Blum examines the rich, offbeat collection of printed ephemera created by polar explorers. Ranging from ship newspapers and messages left in bottles to menus and playbills, polar writing reveals the seamen wrestling with questions of time, space, community, and the environment. Whether chronicling weather patterns or satirically reporting on penguin mischief, this writing provided expedition members with a set of practices to help them survive the perpetual darkness and harshness of polar winters. The extreme climates these explorers experienced is continuous with climate change today. Polar exploration writing, Blum contends, offers strategies for confronting and reckoning with the extreme environment of the present.
