In every coastal town in Australia, there''s a bait shop and a boat ramp. Fishing rods are strung up in laundries and garages around the country, waiting for their next outing. Walk over a bridge, look across to a wharf and there will be people casting a line. Many people have a special fishing spot, and families pass on tips from generation to generation and exchange fishy tales of amazing catches and near misses. Bringing her personal passion for throwing in a line, author and historian Anna Clark celebrates the enduring pleasure of fishing in The Catch. She charts its history, from the first known accounts of Indigenous fishing and early European encounters with Australia''s waters, to the latest fishing fads; from the introduction of trout and fly-fishing, to the challenges of balancing the needs of commercial and recreational fishers. Originally published to accompany an exhibition at the National Library of Australia, now with updated material and all new photographs.

Anna Clark Hender was born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1930. Though fate, marriage, and her beautiful soprano voice would later take her to Canada and the United States, in "Memories O'' Mine" she shares her memories of everyday life in a Great Britain on the cusp of WWII, so different from what we know today: "Dad was one of eight and Mum of seven kids. All married and living in a large town on the east coast of Scotland. Closeness of family and community helped us have a happy childhood in spite of"the Depression," and World War two. Born in a time of Gas Mantles for light and coal fires for heat.(coal carts being drawn by huge Clydesdale horses). Difficult times toimagine in this day and age. I don''t imagine, I REMEMBER. Mum and Dad both worked and my earliest memories were of being wrapped in a blanket against the cold damp Scottish mornings and carried to Gran''s to be sat in front of her big fireplace. The fire was burning brightly, as it was the only heat in the house. The adults had already had their breakfast and were on their way to work. The big kitchen was plenty busy though as Gran also cared for five of my cousins." From The Author: "I will always be proud to be born a Scot, in a country of great beauty, stormy history and honest, kind and "couthie" people."

In recent years History''s ‘national narrative’ has been powerfully challenged by transnational and international debates. Using Australian history as a case study, this collection draws on leading contributions from academics and public intellectuals to explore the ways national identities still resonate in historical scholarship and reexamines key moments in Australian history, with a transnational lens, raising important questions about the unique context of Australia’s national narrative. The book examines the tension between national and transnational perspectives, attempting to internationalise the often parochial nation-based narratives that characterise national history, such as the history wars or the glorification of the Anzac Legend, whilst bearing in mind the limits of transnational histories in a national setting. Moving from the local and personal to the global, encompassing comparative and international research and drawing on the experiences of researchers working across nations and communities, this collection brings together diverging national and transnational approaches and asks several critical research questions: What is transnational history? How do new transnational readings of the past challenge conventional national narratives and approaches? What are implications of transnational and international approaches on Australian history? What possibilities do they bring to the discipline? What are their limitations? And finally, how do we understand the nation in this transnational moment?

Vascular diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), as integral constituents of the vascular wall, provide structural support and dynamically alter vessel shape and structure in response to environmental stimuli. While the role of their endothelial neighbors has been extensively examined in facilitation of ischemic responses and vascular remodeling, less is known about VSMCs. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are master regulators of cellular responses to O2 tension. These heterodimeric transcription factors drive endothelial vascularization and are putative regulators of VSMC driven vascular remodeling in pulmonary artery hypertension. The studies presented in this dissertation examine the role of canonical HIF activity in modulating VSMC phenotype, vasoreactivity, and responses to peripheral ischemia. Mice with smooth muscle specific deletion of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT; HIF-1ß) (ArntSMKO), required for HIF transcriptional activity, feature impaired peripheral perfusion recovery following femoral artery ligation. Vessels from ArntSMKO mice display altered vasomotor function, increased hypoxic microvascular permeability, and disrupted arteriolar VSMC morphology. Aberrant behavior and transcriptional profile in isolated ArntSMKO VSMCs indicate phenotypic switching. Collectively, the data support a role for ARNT regulating VSMC phenotype, essential for vasoreactivity and perfusion recovery in peripheral ischemia. As such, ARNT provides a therapeutic target for modulating VSMC phenotypic change, a feature of many vascular diseases.

"Over the last three decades, lionfish populations have exploded throughout the western Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Their high abundances and gluttonous appetites threaten not only ecosystems like coral reefs, but also important nursery areas, and deep habitats hundreds of feet below diving depths. In some shallow water dive sites, spearfishing has proven an effective way to control populations. For those locations, sustained removals may limit the impacts these fish on the invaded ecosystems. Numerous novel devices and approaches to harvest lionfish from water depths beyond recreational scuba limits have been considered, but none have yet proven successful. Developing an effective method to target lionfish from these and other remote locations is important. Recent studies have reported the negative effects of lionfish on important prey species of both recreationally and commercially important species in deep water. There may also be trap applications in some shallow water locations, like nurseries, where lionfish control would protect the juveniles of some valuable fished species, and other ecologically important species"--Page 1.

This chapter reviews recent (2000-2005) personality disorder (PD) research, focusing on three major domains: assessment, comorbidity, and stability. (a) Substantial evidence has accrued favoring dimensional over categorical conceptualization of PD, and the five-factor model of personality is prominent as an integrating framework. Future directions include assessing dysfunction separately from traits and learning to utilize collateral information. (b) To address the pervasiveness and extent of comorbidity, researchers have begun to move beyond studying overlapping pairs or small sets of disorders and are developing broader, more integrated common-factor models that cross the Axis I-Axis II boundary. (c) Studies of PD stability have converged on the finding that PD features include both more acute, dysfunctional behaviors that resolve in relatively short periods, and maladaptive temperamental traits that are relatively more stable, similar to normal-range personality traits, with increasing stability until after 50 years of age. A new model for assessing PD and perhaps all psychopathology emerges from integrating these interrelated reconceptualizations.

Discusses the varying interpretative positions in the representation of Australian history ''black armband'' (includes reference to the early use of the term) and ''left-wing''; implications for the teaching of history; argues for the adoption of more inclusive historical perspectives.
