Is it normal for households to go to extreme lengths to prepare for disaster? I argue yes. Extreme preparedness is at the very least logical and can be considered normal under the right framing. Threats range from the mundane to the existential and come in various forms : chlorine gas spills, zoonotic diseases, typhoons, solar flares, civil unrest, and war. Response and recovery to these assorted hazards is measured in hours, days, and sometimes years. It is an expected function of a state to plan, rehearse, and prepare for cataclysmic events. Numerous governments currently encourage or even mandate relatively high levels of household disaster preparedness or have done so in the past as a proactive mitigation strategy. By extension then, it should be natural for individuals and households to attain - or even surpass - these levels. Those who go to extreme levels have throughout the years been referred to as survivalists or preppers even though their actions often match state plans for continuity of government in an existential crisis. Contrary to popular depiction however, many of these individuals are not fringe as to ideology or demographic composition, nor are they monoculture. Our modern understanding of this phenomenon is hampered by stereotype, a lack of quantification, and a lack of definitive categorization and theorization. I fill in many of the gaps of a forty-year legacy problem, primarily in an American setting, but with insights to the global presence of these individuals. I find that in America, 11.4 million people have the means to survive at home for 31 days or more after a disaster. Additionally, I theorize a new international model, with the theory of ontological security at its core, to understand how extremely prepared individuals can be identified and then split into extremist and non-extremist (ideologically speaking) categories and how both groups relate back to average civilians. I provide one implication of this finding looking at US island residents, who I find prepare at rates 40-135% greater than their mainland counterparts, possibly due to their geographic isolation where aid and recovery efforts would be delayed.

In recent years, historians have debated fervently on the reason for the decline of British Labour History as an academic discipline. Most certainly the challenge of Thatcherism to the working classes and trade unions in the 1980s, and the fragmentation of Labour history into gender studies, industrial studies and women’s history, have contributed to its apparent decline. Post-modernists’ challenges to the concept of class, culture and community have done their damage. As a result “Labour history”, in its broad-school sense, has been taught less and less in British universities. Yet it survives and there are grounds for believing that it will revive. This collection of chapters arose from a conference held at the University of Huddersfield in November 2010, held under the auspices of the Society for the Study of Labour History, where nineteen papers were presented. Ten of this disparate array of papers form the basis of this collection. The theme of community and localised struggle form the first section, ranging as it does from the newspapers’ representation of Yorkshire miners to brass bands and the development of separate culture. The second section deals with the more traditional trade unionism and varieties of industrial struggle. The third section focuses upon the political aspects of working-class activity, drawing upon the role of women, and Labour policy on steel nationalisation and defence. The fourth deals with radicalism, ranging from the failure of Chartism, the policy of working-class organisations to emigration, and the failure of the “soft” section of the British left in the 1920s and 1930s. There is no all-embracing concept here for what is a varied collection of chapters. However, what can be said is that British Labour history continues to provide new areas for research. Indeed, its death as an academic discipline has been greatly exaggerated. This collection of book chapters represents the current revival in Labour history which has emerged in a form that brings together community and culture alongside class and political representation to explore the breadth and depth of working-class identity.
