	The Origins of the Third World (The Corner House) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The "Third World" -- the division of humanity into haves and have-nots -- was shaped by fatal interactions between world climate and world economy at the end of the nineteenth century.
		Thus, as disconnected from world market perturbations as the starving and comparatively isolated north China provinces might have seemed in 1877, the catastrophic fate of their populations during the 1870s was indirectly determined by Western intervention and the consequent decline in state capacity to ensure their traditional welfare.
		World climate (the oceans, atmosphere and ice surfaces acting together) is driven by the excess of solar energy received in equatorial latitudes.

		This is Third World’s debut release, most unfortunately overlooked, or rather, overshadowed by band’s closely followed second album, 1869 (96° In The Shade), and the gamut of their popular 80’s work.

		Conceptualizing and founding the Third World Band in 1973, Stephen ‘Cat’ Coore’s inimitable style (in both music and fashion) has been the unmistakable trademark of the band since day one.
		Known and loved the world over simply as ‘Rugs’, his wit and disarming sense of humour secure him as a true lyricist both on and off the stage.
		Joining Third World in early 1997, ‘Ruption’ has brought an intensity and precision, balanced by his playfulness that gives the rest of the band both the safety and the freedom to do spontaneous experimentation with the music.
