The paper studies two aspects of residential density: the number of persons per room, and the number of rooms per unit area. The pattern of variation of persons per room, obtained from the 1961 ...Census, is first studied for the London Conurbation in relation to socio-economic character, age distribution, and position. Similar studies are done for the other conurbations of England and Wales, and for a series of areas based on the counties. For the second variable, rooms/acre, the relationship with the socio-economic character and position of a neighbourhood is examined for the London Conurbation and for Oxford.

We are often told that the Victorians were far less violent than their forebears: over the course of the nineteenth century, violent sports were mostly outlawed, violent crime, including homicide, ...notably declined, and punishments were hidden from public view within prison walls. They were also much more respectable, and actively sought orderly, uplifting, domestic and refined pastimes. Yet these were the very same people who celebrated the exceptionally violent careers of anti-heroes such as the brutal puppet Punch and the murderous barber Sweeney Todd. By drawing attention to the wide range of gruesome, bloody and confronting amusements patronised by ordinary Londoners this book challenges our understanding of Victorian society and culture. From the turn of the nineteenth century, graphic, yet orderly, 're-enactments' of high level violence flourished in travelling entertainments, penny broadsides, popular theatres, cheap instalment fiction and Sunday newspapers.
The community business (CB) which started as an unemployment policy in Britain was established in Japan as a form which the volunteer who helps those who are in trouble. The tendency is strong on ...especially the organization born from the volunteer of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The result of CB can be called not only the produced goods and service but the staff by whom empowerment was done, the supporters who acquired satisfaction, “local power”. On the other hand, when CB is considered as a business model, it can work as the enterprise of a low-risk low return, and a place of the middle labor market. In recent years, local reproduction and small self-government have been a big subject even in Japan, and CB has a possibility of becoming the economical engine. It is necessary to observe KYOEKI( the organization who helps each other) like CB, and Social Economy.
This study estimates models of industrial rents at the national level in Great Britain. James Lan Wooten and CB Hillier Parker rent indices are used to model changes in real rents. These changes are ...positively related to changes in real GDP and inversely affected by absorption, as measured by King Sturge & Co. Additionally, changes in rents convey information not captured by GDP and absorption. The lagged effects of the variables differ for each index, attributable to the construction methodologies followed. Dynamic forecasts for both models show a small overprediction in 1996 and 1997. Ex ante forecasts suggest that both will show positive real growth throughout 1998 and 1999.

Colonel E.E. Markwick, CB, CBE, FRAS (1853 - 1925) pursued a distinguished career in the British Army, serving in Great Britain and other parts of the Empire and rising to the rank of Colonel. He was ...an original member of the BAA and went on to become President between 1912 and 1914. His main observational interest was the study of variable stars and he independently discovered two variables, RY Sgr and T Cen. He directed the BAA Variable Star Section from 1899 to 1909, organising its work along lines that are largely pursued even to this day and which other variable star organisations around the world have emulated.
