* Depraved and Disorderly: Female Convicts, Sexuality and
Gender in Colonial Australia
(Book - Amazon.co.uk) :
This innovative book marks a new way of looking at convict
women. It tells their stories in a powerful and evocative
way, drawing out broader themes of gender and sexual
disorder and race and class dynamics in a colonial
context. It considers the convict past in light of
contemporary concerns, looking at the cultural meanings of
aspects of life in the colony: on ships, in the factories
and in orphanages.
Also available from Amazon.com (United States) and
Amazon.ca (Canada).

* Do It Yourself Color-Coded State Maps
In interpreting and illustrating events taking place in
some locations and not others, the use of shaded or
"color-contrasted" maps can be useful. This webform allows
you to choose up to six different groupings of counties -
along with your title, choice of colors and labels. A
computer program will then draw a state map (as a "gif"
format file) with your groupings shown in the selected
colors. The map can then either be printed or saved and
used later.
