Strangers and friends: report on women and brainpower conference at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London, 4-6 July 1999

This article is a report of the Conference held to celebrate the opening of the new Bedford Centre for the History of Women which holds the archives of the first steps on the road towards higher education for women in Britain. 1999 marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Ladies' College at 47 Bedford Square, London, founded by Elizabeth Jesser Reid. In 1982 a partnership agreement was signed between Bedford College and Royal Holloway College, following severe cuts in government spending on higher education. Overall the Conference considered what the cultivation of women's brainpower had contributed to the wealth and well-being of the nation. It also raised the problematic question of the future of women's history, if it becomes subsumed under the banner of ‘gender history’, what might be the gains and what might be the losses for women?

The Moon Belongs to Everyone: Making Theatre with 7:84 by Elizabeth MacLennan, and: The Bone Won't Break: On Theatre and Hope in Hard Times by John McGrath (review)

Book Reviews up a "Laboratory," nor has he sought to build up a permanent company. His work has been carried out within the constraints that afe normal for the professional theatre in Poland. But this does not mean that he has shunned experiment: his production of The Idiot, for example, was al~ost entirely improvised and never used the same sequence of scenes from one night to the next. In fact, his work for the theatre has often proved to be more experimental than his work for film. In 1984 he said: "I try never to mix the two [film and theatre), When I am working in the theatre. I look for the theatrical. For me a theatre is a convention, the relationship between the actors and a live audience." True to this principle. his productions have constantly experimented with the playing space and its relalionship to the audience space. For The Idiot, he even opened up the rehearsals to an audience. This is an unusually sensitive and complex assessment of a director's work. Maciej Karpinski is well-placed 1 0 write such a study, having observed the director at work many times and even collaborated with him on some of his productions. From this experience, he can draw on the delailed knowledge and understanding of working methods that are essential, and he does so without falling into the trap of eulogising his subject. He traces Wajda's development, both in his choice of themes and in his formal experiments, and sets his theatre work in the context of his film directing. His evocations of rehearsals and performances are vivid and the book is lavishly illustrated . Its only fault is that it is too short. This is perhaps because it was originally published (in Polish) in J980 and so concentrates on Wajda's work over only two decades, the sixties and seventies. His more recent work is not ignored. but is treated less thoroughly and, most sadly, leaves out Wajda's astonishing third Hamlet entirely. But in every other respect this is an exemplary study which opens our eyes yet again to the extraordinary depth and strength of theatre in Poland since the Second World War. Particularly valuable 'is the introduction, giving a brief but pithy overview of the theatre, and clarifying the role of all the major directors and perfonners during this extraordinary period in Poland's history.

"Has anybody ever said anything to you in a theatre that really made a difference to your life and attitudes? ... Do you see yourself as part of the experience happening on the stage or outside it? ... Should the audience leave their politics in the cloakroom ? If so, why? ... Is there such a thing as a socialist actor?" (pp. 1-2). Book Reviews These are some of the 37 questions with which Elizabeth MacLennan begins her book. Both texts seek answers, recalling the reasons for forming the 7:84 companies and the heart of the experience of 7:84 through the 70S and 80S. These companies in England and Scotland presented committed political theatre for nearly two decades. Yet they are poorly documented: a section on the early years in Catherine hzin's Stages 0/ the Revolution ( 1980); a chapter in Eugene van Erven's Radical People's Theatre (1988); most of the scripts were not published. (7:84 took its name from the startling statistic that 7% of the population of Britain owned 84% of the wealth.) 7:84 was a kind of collective, but it was also one man, John McGrath, Artistic Director of both companies, author and director of many of the shows. MacLennan's book - with her daughter's drawings, excerpts from her sons' diaries. her own diary for 1988 alternating with a chronological account - seems artless and idiosyncratic. In fact, MacLennan presents herself as woman, actor, wife, mother, political activist, to the reader...

Magmatism and the causes of continental break-up

A two-day meeting of the Tectonic Studies Group was held in London at the Geological Society on 3-4 October 1991, to consider relationships between continental extension, super continent break-up, magmatism and mantle plumes. The approach was multidisciplinary, with contributions from geophysists, geochemists and tectonic geologists. There were 28 talks and 11 poster presentations, with about 150 people attending. The conference was opened by convenor B. C. Storey (British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge) followed by a session on relevant geophysical and geochemical principles. D. L. Anderson (California Institute of Technology) gave a stimulating keynote lecture on mantle reservoirs and seismic tomographic evidence for mantle circulation. He suggested that the source of all 'enriched' basalts such as ocean island basalt (OIB) and continental flood basalt was in a shallow mantle layer relative to the source of depleted mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). He presented new, high resolution global seismic tomography data, and argued from these that deep-rooted hot mantle up-wellings underlie mid-ocean ridges and back arc basins, but that mantle plumes, as narrow jets underlying hot spots cannot be oberved by seismic means, nor are required by geochemical data. M. A. Menzies (Royal Holloway and Bedford New College) reviewed the penological, age and thickness variations in continental lithospheric mantle, and its suitability as a mantle source for continental basalts. He described reaction zones and metasomatic fronts generated by intrusion of magmas into mantle rock, and argued that such processes generate a range of mantle compositions like those of source regions of continental flood basalts.

Long-term reproducibility of multicollector Sr and Nd isotope ratio analysis

High-precision multidynamic analyses for Sr and Nd isotopic standards are reported for a 4-year period on the VG 354® mass spectrometer at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (RHBNC). The data are assessed in 8 (Nd) or 11 (Sr) subsets separated by major machine maintenance. Within each subset, results for the Sr standard SRM 987 show a consistent correlation between the mean triple-collector multidynamic 87 Sr 86 Sr result, normalised for fractionation by the power law, and the mean 86 Sr 88 Sr (gradient − 0.020 ± 0.007 2sd). This correlation is perfectly modelled by an exponential fractionation law calculated from exact masses. Both the La Jolla and laboratory Nd standards show consistent correlations in multidynamic data normalised by power law to 146 Nd 144 Nd = 0.7219 . The mean triple-collector 143 Nd 144 Nd vs. mean double-collector 142 Nd 144 Nd results show a positive correlation of gradient ± 0.176 ± 0.090 (2sd), while triple-collector 15 Nd 144 Nd shows a negative correlation with 142 Nd 144 Nd , of gradient −0.046 ± 0.040 (2sd). Fractionation-normalisation by exponential law improves the best data a little, but cannot explain the correlation, which may instead relate to minor degeneration of ion optical or collector performance. Exponential correction to the Sr data, and an empirical correction for Nd, result in mean external reproducibility (2sd) of ±0.000019 for 87 Sr 86 Sr and ±0.000008 for 143 Nd 144 Nd . Such reproducibility has important applications in Sr isotope stratigraphy, SmNd geochronology and Nd isotope geochemistry. The best 142 Nd 144 Nd data only agree with previously published values if an exponential fractionation correction is applied. This requires the mean present-day chondrite 143 Nd 144 Nd to be 0.512646.
