This family history starts with Robert Looney but there is some information about possible ancestors, perhaps in the Isle of Man. Descendants lived in Virginia and other parts of the United States.
The Looney Family on the Rugged Frontier
Robert Looney brought his wife and seven children from the Isle-of-Man in 1734, landing in Philadelpia. He settled first on the south side of the Potomac River. Within a few years, he moved his family into what is now Botetourt County, Virginia. Settlelers along the Appalachian Valley were the far frontier serving as a buffer against Indian attacks east of the Blue Ridge. Robert would lose four sons and other family members to Indian attack. One son would be captured. The family would prosper, grow and expand into Tennessee, Alabama and eventually many other states.

Iraq's Informal Economy
Iraq’s economy has undergone profound changes over the last decade, many of which have had significant implications on the evolution of the country’s informal economy. The statist, heavy-handed economic policies of the Ba’athist government concentrated much of Iraq’s productive capacity on nationalized factors, which degraded under the sanctions regime of the 1990s, when both industrial and agricultural production faltered for lack of input. The 2003 overthrow of the regime saw the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contract by 35 percent and it has recovered little since then, despite US-led reconstruction efforts. The only part of the economy to have survived both Saddam Hussein ...
Handbook of Transitions to Energy and Climate Security
An original contribution to our understanding of a phenomenon that is reshaping the world, this title thoroughly discusses the transformation of the energy security policy arena brought on by two dramatic developments – the increased potential availability of energy in many parts of the world on the supply side, and on the demand side increasing concerns over the harmful effects on the environment brought on by the use of fossil fuels.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative at Ten
This volume assesses China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as it approaches its tenth year in operation. The programme has gone through a difficult transition since its inception in 2013, with an environment developing in a way utterly unanticipated by Chinese decision-makers. Despite pragmatic adjustments to the BRI, the lack of a firm empirical base has impeded the BRI and led to its demise in many countries. With the accumulation of nearly ten years of project and economic data, it is possible to make an in-depth assessment of the BRI. For this purpose, the study examines the infrastructure component of the BRI in 39 countries, stretching from the Americas to Oceania and, finally, Sout...
