nutritional information now exists. Information is presented by
species and includes how each species is cultured, an index of
production, regional locations where each species is being
cultured, examples of purified or test diets and special conditions
required for laboratory studies, nutrient requirements and
practical diet formulation. Discussions of special diets and

This title was first published in 2000: The Way We Lived Then is a
detailed study of a nineteenth-century community. It is based on
the life histories of all the inhabitants of the parish of Colyton
in Devon, covering the period from 1851 to 1891. The book gives a
brief history of Colyton, which was mentioned in the Domesday book,
and which suffered raids by soldiers, house searches, looting and
even executions during the Civil War and the Monmouth rebellion,
events which strengthened the townspeople's leaning towards
Protestantism. The central section of the book is concerned with
the lifestyle of the whole population from childhood to old age.
Working childhoods, educational provision, pre-marital pregnancies,
shifting populations and the care of the elderly are some of the
issues dealt with. Finally the book covers community issues such as
the relief of poverty, health care provision for the poor, and law
and order. General readers will delight in an account of the whole
community of a market town. Jean Robin's research and insight
combine into a narrative which is authoritative yet accessible,
replacing Victorian stereotypes with human beings, connecting real
people and local events with each other and with the changing world
outside. Jacket Copy: Historians will value this detailed study of
a nineteenth-century community for its integration of many sources
and techniques. It is based on the life histories of all the
inhabitants of Colyton in Devon, covering the period from 1851 to
the end of the century. Its depth and complexity are unique -
multi-record linkage reconstitutes family histories; archival
research illuminates civil administration, welfare and education;
electoral and land registers are used to reveal social structure;
and newspaper and other minor sources complete a unique portrait of
a world we had thought had been lost to experience. Jean Robin's
research and insight combine into a narrative which is
authoritative yet accessible, replacing Victorian stereotypes with
human beings.
Elmdon is a social history of a village in north-west Essex between
1861 and 1964. Throughout this period the population of Elmdon,
which lies only fifty miles from London, was comparatively small,
and this has enabled Jean Robin to follow the lives of individuals
and families in the village in a degree of detail which can
illuminate many areas not always thoroughly explored. Using the
records, electoral rolls and other written sources, as well as
information obtained through anthropological techniques of
interviewing, carried out between 1962 and 1972 by students from
the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of'
Cambridge, she examines patterns of land-ownership, employment,
marriage, social mobility and migration, and analyses the effects
of both local and national events on the lives of Elmdon's
inhabitants over a hundred-year period.
