Body Wave Magnitudes and Locations of French Underground Explosions at the Mururoa Test Site
Since 1975 the French have conducted underground nuclear weapon tests beneath the Mururoa atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago in the Southern Pacific. A least squares joint estimate of origin time and epicentre together with a least squares joint estimate of magnitude is presented for presumed explosions in this area. These are based on data taken from bulletins of the International Seismological Centre. Some seismograms, recorded in Canada, are included to illustrate the nature of the P waves from these presumed explosions. (Author).

The Georgians
A comprehensive history of the Georgians, comparing past views of these exciting, turbulent, and controversial times with our attitudes today The Georgian era is often seen as a time of innovations. It saw the end of monarchical absolutism, global exploration and settlements overseas, the world's first industrial revolution, deep transformations in religious and cultural life, and Britain's role in the international trade in enslaved Africans. But how were these changes perceived by people at the time? And how do their viewpoints compare with attitudes today? In this wide-ranging history, Penelope J. Corfield explores every aspect of Georgian life--politics and empire, culture and society, love and violence, religion and science, industry and towns. People's responses at the time were often divided. Pessimists saw loss and decline, while optimists saw improvements and light. Out of such tensions came the Georgian culture of both experiment and resistance. Corfield emphasizes those elements of deep continuity that persisted even within major changes, and shows how new developments were challenged if their human consequences proved dire.
