This book provides a comprehensive economic history of the British Whaling Trade, divided into two eras of significant technological difference. The first part concerns the traditional whaling trades that structured the industry for three centuries, from 1604-1914. The second part concerns the modern whaling trade between the years 1904-1963, characterised by technological advance and tremendous international competition. Gordon Jackson approaches the enormous subject of British Whaling from the perspectives of both the national economy of Britain, and the international whaling industry as a whole. The book consults official statistical material to determine the size and performance of various whaling fleets; eye-witness accounts and state papers for the early history of the trade; log books, and trade and customs records for the eighteenth century; and the documents of the Southern Whaling Company, Salvesen, and Unilever for insights into the modern whaling period. The book concludes with appendices containing statistical data concerning whale oil, whale stocks, and the price of goods, two bibliographies of further reading, and a conclusion that free competition and market demand simply exhausted whale stocks beyond any possibility of restoration.

This is the Military edition of:  "SILVER LININGS: Overcoming, with optimism - A Memoir." (ISBN 978-0-9963941-3-0)  The author, Dr. Jackson, invites you to join him on a trip back through time, experience different cultures, and visit different places and countries. This journey may cause laughter, or may trigger an unanticipated emotion. It is the author's belief that the twenty-one four-page stories will be an easy read. In addition, he hopes that the book will enrich your life and provide some practical insights and understanding that will help you survive and rise above the stresses of everyday life.  A unifying underlying theme throughout the book is the application of Churchill's admonishment to us all,  “Never give in!”  Adhering to those inspiring words provided sufficient impetus to sustain the author’s parents during and after World War II.  The value of having such a mindset was understood and embraced by the author, who is their son.   Through the intimate details in this story, you will experience a revealing journey, which spans a century, and shows how a family navigated through trials and tribulations.  The author recently set the stage for this work by saying, “Dad came from a pro-western family of Samurai descent in Japan. Mum was born in Wales. During World War II, Dad worked for the British Foreign Office.  He was part of the Allied Forces’ antidote to Tokyo Rose’s radio propaganda broadcasts.  They met in London, and then moved to Tokyo, where I was born. Shortly afterwards, we returned to England, where I was educated.”  Union Carbide brought Dr. Jackson to the US in 1976. In 1980, he established a computer consultancy.  After thirty-three years, he asked, “What should I do when I grow up?”  The answer triggered a move to Richmond, Virginia, where he became a university professor.  He hopes to remain continually young-at-heart.

The author, Dr. Jackson, takes you on a trip back through time, cultures, places and countries. You may laugh, or experience an unanticipated emotion. The twenty-one four-page stories are an easy read, which readers have described as “fantastic” and “fascinating.” Some have asked, “How long do I have to wait for the author to write another book?” An underlying and unifying theme throughout the book is the application of Churchill's admonishment to us all, “Never give in!” Adhering to those inspiring words provided sufficient impetus to sustain the author’s parents during and after World War II. The value of having such a mindset was understood and embraced by the author, who is their son.
