Observations of greater work needed. Non-specific edits.

Aridoamerica

[edit]

Needs references:

Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich of Russia

[edit]
  • Incredibly emotive language used, e.g.: "His final break with Yusupov in London in 1920 is well documented in letters exchanged between the two men, none of which have ever been published. The originals are all part of the Ilyinsky family collection, along with Dmitri's diaries, and have been woefully, almost incredibly, neglected by scholars."
  • Very few inline citations.

Lady Byron

[edit]
  • Many many bad phrases
  • E.g. where both Lord and Lady Byron are called "Byron": ** "Although Byron's1 popularity was soaring following the success of his work Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Byron2 continually rejected his attentions. Spurned, George committed himself to the pursuit of her and in October 1812, he proposed marriage. In response, Byron3 wrote a summary of his character and three days later refused him. However, they were plagued with a persistent interest in each other."
    • 1 Him
    • 2 Her
    • 3 Her
  • Also continually refers to Lord Byron / Byron as "George" but then Lady Byron as "Byron". This is incorrect usage of his title. Anne Blunt, 15th Baroness Wentworth shows better practice, using "Lady Anne".

Roger Kasperson

[edit]
  • Married to Professor Jeanne X. Kasperson (died c. 2004?)
    • Jeanne X. Kasperson page at Clark University in Worcester, MA
    • University library named for her: Jeanne X. Kasperson Research Library (formerly the Marsh Research Library).
      • "The Jeanne X. Kasperson Research Library's primary mission has been to support the George Perkins Marsh Institute's extensive research program in global environmental change, risks and hazards, and international development. But this mission has expanded to address the research needs of faculty, graduate students and undergraduates in the University's environmental programs more generally. The Kasperson Research Library was established in 1978 to support the Hazard Assessment Group based at Clark. The library and research group later became the Center for Technology, Environment and Development (CENTED). In 1991, CENTED and its library merged with other research groups at Clark to become the George Perkins Marsh Institute and the Marsh Research Library. As a result, the library's collection grew to meet the demands of the expanding environmental research programs at the Marsh Institute and the University.The library was renamed in 2002 in memory of its founder, Jeanne X. Kasperson. Kasperson's keen eye for an acquisition bargain, her ability to secure research materials from throughout the world and her dogged determination to build an extraordinary research resource created this magnificent jewel of a small, but remarkable research library"
    • Jeanne X. Kasperson Student Paper Award, founded c.2004. Awarded by the Hazards, Risks, and Disasters Speciality Group of the Association of American Geographers.
    • In 1996 she was a research associate professor and research librarian at the George Perkins Marsh Institute at Clark University. Later she was a Visiting Scholar and Research Associate Professor at the Stockholm Environment Institute.
