A Sense of Proportion
Leeds University Library boasts some of the most impressive collections of books, manuscripts and archives in the UK. The essays in A Sense of Proportion focus on some of the smallest items in the collections. An image of each is portrayed 'life' size and each must be 10 cms or less in height, width and depth. The objects range from paperclips to bookplates to playing cards to wedding rings. Some, like the picture of a gypsy caravan made from butterfly wings, are exceptionally beautiful. Others, like the compass of Bertram Ratcliffe that guided him from a German prisoner-of-war camp back to England in 1917, tell tales of extreme heroism. Together this quirky collection demonstrates the rich, personal stories that libraries preserve for future generations.

Contagious Generosity
The general practices related to church funding aren’t producing the same results they have in the past. There is a general acceptance that something has changed but little talk or interest is coming from traditional church leader training sources such as denominational entities and seminaries. Pastors are largely left to their own devices to “figure this out.” They need a lifeline. While some churches are experiencing exponential growth, some churches - despite their best efforts - have been unsuccessful at moving beyond survival mode. Coupled with increased competition from other nonprofits and a decline in the commitment to give to the church first, churches risk losing the funding ...

A Statistical History of Rugby League -
The “Greatest Game of All” or Rugby League as it is known to some has given me nearly a half a century of pleasure and a little pain. In 1966 at the ripe old age of 6 I was introduced to our game when my Uncle Harry moved into the bedroom I shared with my younger brother in a 2 bedroom fibro joint in Rockdale(Dragon Territory). Harry was playing lower grades for Jack Gibson’s Roosters and went on to play for St George in the 1971 Grand Final against my other front rower mate John Sattler and his Rabbitoh’s. By the age of 9 I had memorized every player in the Big League magazine. The game became my obsession. Even if I had not been lucky enough to play over 100 games in the best compe...

Innocence To Glory—Michael's War
One of the most amazing things about the history of this world of ours is how so many kids who left their simple life of innocence, traveled clear across the planet to far off and strange lands, fought a life and death struggle with our enemies and gained their glory, saving our democratic way of life then came home to a different world, a world they had once again made safe for us all.
The Ecology and Conservation of Asian Hornbills
Hornbills are among the world’s most distinct birds. Easily recognized by their oversized beaks adorned with large casques, they range from Africa to India and throughout Asia. One of the oldest bird orders, they have been known to mankind for millennia and loom large in the mythology of indigenous cultures of tropical Asia. In the past thirty years, ecologists have uncovered many fascinating aspects of hornbill biology, from their unique nest-sealing behavior to their roles as farmers of the forest.
