 Introduction: Charles Larson's Under African Skies - Editor

Much of it is based on questionnaires Larson sent to African writers and publishers, asking about the conditions they found, as well as their personal experiences.

 A Tragedy of Errors - FARMS Review
Larson's way of "putting the mass of scholarly writing on the book of Abraham into manageable form" is to ignore almost all of the scholarly writing on the book of Abraham in the last twenty years (more on this later).
Larson tries to dismiss the notion that the document from which the book of Abraham was translated was "beautifully written upon papyrus, with fl, and a small part red, ink or paint, in perfect preservation" (pp.
Larson implies that Ferguson was one of the "scholars and intellectuals in the Church" and that "his study" was conducted along the lines of reliable scholarship in the "field of archaeology." Those of us with personal experience with Ferguson and his thinking knew differently.

When Larson moves onto Nibley's 1968-1970 study of the panel of Egyptologists of Spaulding's 1912 attack, he simply says Nibley was goofing around and quotes Nibley as saying he had "frankly skirmished and sparred for time." (Larson, p.

 Korea
But Admiral Larson said the urgency he felt in upgrading defenses for South Korea has been reduced since December when it appeared that sanctions might be imposed on North Korea for its refusal to allow inspections of its nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Larson said that a "step-by-step process is absolutely necessary to get a negotiated settlement for a non-nuclear North Korea." But failing a negotiated settlement, sanctions would be the logical outcome, he said.
Larson cautioned that "if we do go to sanctions, we've got to also understand that with sanctions goes some prudent enhancement measures that we would want to take to have the superior forces." This would include, he said, the deployment of the Patriot missile system.

 Shofar FTP Archives: people/l/larson.charles/gassings-at-dachau
When Dr. Larson said: "...But, in my opinion, only relatively few of the inmates I personally examined at Dachau were murdered in this manner..." I read it as he personally _examined_ corpses which, in his opinion as a forensic pathologist, died from poison gas.
Given that he also concluded, as a result of his questioning: "...they [the victims] were taken to a big windowless building next to the crematorium where the ceiling was covered with false shower heads.
However, IMO, a more objective way to read it is that it simply states that a small number of homicidal gassings did take place against the backdrop of a great many deaths by other causes, as well as the abysmal living conditions in the camp.

Emerson was among the architects inventing what would later come to be called the Shingle Style, and critics would call him one of its 'finest designers.'[7] Rich spent four years in the office, and how large a role he played in the elder architect's work is not clear.
On the advice of Charles Eliot, son of the Harvard president and a rising landscape architect in the Olmsted Brothers' firm, the College began buying up houses to make way for the grand project, and Rich was in charge of creating it.
The old houses that survived in the background were not spared the march of red-brick progress a second time, as they fell to the three Massachusetts dormitories (1907 and 1912) and the later buildings that aligned with them.

 Larson Pallet & Crating - The Pallet Professionals - Quality, Service, Professionalism, and Value Since 1969
Founder Charles Larson worked for years at his dad's Larson Ladder Company, always looking for a product that would be a synergistic and logical complement to the ladder operations — a manufactured product to optimize the use of wood that was a byproduct in making ladders.
In 1968, Larson Ladder Company was sold, and Charles left to start the Larson Pallet Company, then called Palletfax, to service the pallet needs of Container Corporation of America (CCA).

The one glaring gap in Larson's research is the lack of utilizing Erik Iversen's landmark study, and the keynote study to any and all discussion concerning Egyptian art and how they drew human figures.6 As we demonstrate, it is no wonder Larson let this one slip.
And the second part that Larson muffed it on was ignoring both thumbs on the hands in the JS Fac #1, which we have clearly seen.
They have to keep their research to a minimum in order to arrive at the negative conclusions they do, yet the sources listed in footnote eight also establish that Joseph Smith was correct in putting two hands with bold thumbs in Fac.
