There have always been some uninhabitable places, but in the last century human beings have produced many more of them. These anti-landscapes have proliferated to include the sandy wastes of what was once the Aral Sea, severely polluted irrigated lands, open pit mines, blighted nuclear zones, coastal areas inundated by rising seas, and many others. The Anti-Landscape examines the emergence of such sites, how they have been understood, and how some of them have been recovered for habitation. The anti-landscape refers both to artistic and literary representations and to specific places that no longer sustain life. This history includes T.S. Eliot's Wasteland and Cormac McCarthy's The Road as well as air pollution, recycled railway lines, photography and landfills. It links theories of aesthetics, politics, tourism, history, geography, and literature into the new synthesis of the environmental humanities. The Anti-Landscape provides an interdisciplinary appraoch that moves beyond the false duality of nature vs. culture, and beyond diagnosis and complaint to the recuparation of damaged sites into our complex heritage. -- cover verso.

The Seven Mile airstrip at Port Moresby is today named Jackson International airport in honour of one brave Australian. He was RAAF squadron leader John F. Jackson DFC, who was shot down by the Japanese on April 28, 1942 in the heroic defence of Australia at Port Moresby. Jackson then escaped the pursuing enemy, struggling through mosquito-infested jungle swamps and waist-high slime with the aid of local natives in a painful two-week trek back over the Owen Stanley Ranges. His bare feet were so badly injured that he was at times unable to walk. Jackson, was a Queensland grazier and businessman aged 31 when he joined the RAAF at the outbreak of war in 1939. He was posted with 3 Squadron to the Middle East, serving for a year, where he won the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). He was sent home by his commanding officer, Peter Jeffrey, who said he had \"done his bit\" but Jackson's war wasn't over yet. He had serious concerns over a Japanese invasion of Australia and these fears were reflected in letters to wife Betty.

He leaves a son, Arvo Mikkanen of Norman, Okla.; two grandchildren; nieces and nephews. A brother, Richard Mikkanen, and a sister, Nancy Albina Mikkanen, predeceased him. Born in Worcester, son of Tauno R. and Bertha O. (Pyyny) Mikkanen, he lived in Worcester; Denver; Boulder, Colo.; Rockville, Md.; Olney, Md.; Mashpee, Mass.; Falmouth, Mass.; Lawton, Okla., and Norman, Okla., before moving to International Falls.

  MEMPHIS, Tenn. | Martha Jackson Brough, sister of Sam F. Jackson, Jr. of Tuscaloosa, died on Saturday, March 10th in Memphis, Tenn.

\"We all started in the Huntington dealership,\" he said. \"Then we acquired the store in Charleston on Washington Street, which was originally a Cadillac dealership.\" \"Dad was proud of him,\" [Steve Moses] said of their father, who died two years ago at the age of 88. \"We thought [Jack] would have lived much longer.\" \"He was a great friend to many,\" he said. \"A great brother to me, and a fantastic business partner.\"

He notes the new location will offer significant advantages over the present one, such as involvement in a multi-store complex, direct accessibility to The Lingerie and Uniform Shop, which is a Jackson Metivier subsidiary next door in the Steacy building at 120 Princess St., and the Steacy building-Princess Promenade connection to the city's Hanson parking garage. The new store will have approximately the same amount of retail sales space as the old -- 3,200 square feet. However, Mr. Jackson notes that the new site will have the advantage of being on a single level, whereas the current store is spread over 21/2 storeys. Such was the case recently for Air Ontario, Central Canada's somewhat beleaguered regional airline. Only days before Air Ontario announced that it was withdrawing service from Kingston, it made an offer to business travellers. \"Air Ontario is offering a 30% discount!! Kingston-Toronto return $185\" instead of the current $231, the enclosure in the Chamber of Commerce February newsletter said. What the announcement failed to say was that the airline's Kingston-Toronto service had only a few weeks to run. Area exporters plan seminar The Kingston area has long had representation from several large multinational companies involved in export trade. However, interest and participation in international trade by several small local companies in recent years led in the fall of 1989 to the establishment of an eastern Ontario branch of the Canadian Exporters Association. The area branch, based in Kingston and headed by Reid Sirrs of Daltco International, Daltco Electric & Supply (1979) Ltd. of Kingston, is joining with the area economic commission, the chamber of commerce, and the federal departments of external affairs and international trade in conducting a special exporters' seminar on Wednesday at St. Lawrence College. The day-long sessions will focus on how trading houses can assist companies, particularly smaller companies, to sell their products internationally.

  \"My father always said not to go under the amount\" because that would cheat the customer. \"He said it was all right to give an itsy bitsy more, but don't give too much more.\" \"I always loved the (decorative) accessories we had. We handle the very finest quality,\" he said of merchandise that included figurines and decorations by Hummel and Precious Moments; porcelains by Beohm, Herron, Armani and Lladro; Swarovski and Waterford crystal; steins and mugs made in Europe; and collectibles and glassware by Royal Doulton, Spode, Wedgwood and Lenox; Faberge eggs; silver tea sets; and ornate polished aluminum serving pieces. There also was the year-round Christmas tree at the front of the store loaded with collectible ornaments and displays of Department 56 holiday village, shelves of Steinbach nutcrackers from Germany, Byers Choice holiday carolers and Fontanini Nativity set figures from Italy.
