the golden tomb – annotated bibliography...

The Golden Tomb – Annotated bibliography module

IntroductionSo, you need to complete an annotated bibliography as part of an assessment task.

In the quest that follows, you will work your way through a series of challenges to snatch the treasure hidden deep within the Golden Tomb.

Along the way, you will learn about annotating a bibliography.

A note on referencing styleThe referencing style employed on this module originated at Oxford University. It uses initials only for authors’ given names, with un-spaced full stops between the initials.

A portentous encounter You find yourself wandering the desert near the great pyramids of Egypt. You come across a local person lying on the ground, struggling to maintain breathing. The local person clutches two documents in their right hand.

“Stranger, thank heavens you found me,” says the local. “My last wish is for you to master the art of the annotated bibliography and find the treasure. To make a start, you must understand that an annotated bibliography is an alphabetical list of academic sources, where each entry in the bibliography includes:

1. A reference for the source, formatted in the correct referencing style2. A concise description of the source3. An evaluation of the source.”

The local shakes their right hand, and the documents they hold rustle softly. “Take these two sacred documents,” says the local. “You will be able to access the Sacred Scroll of Knowledge at any time along your journey. The Map will show you the journey ahead.”

You take the documents and consult the map. The path marked on the map emerges from a place crowded with dunes, snakes and scarab beetles. The path travels west until it reaches a point where a bridge spans a blue river; this point is marked Level One – Beginning the Journey. Once across the river, the path winds northward until it reaches a point indicated by a Sphinx-like entrance to a large pyramid; this point is marked Level Two – Adding Methods and Themes. Upon entering the pyramid, the path winds upward to a point indicated by a sarcophagus surrounded by piles of gold coins; this point is marked Level Three – A Deeper Analysis.

You roll the map up and seek out the local person you met a few moments ago. The local has vanished! Perplexed but intrigued, you shrug your shoulders and head toward the dunes. You realise that to complete a description and evaluation of each source in an annotated bibliography you will first need to be able to identify descriptive and evaluative statements. You hope the dunes contain another helpful stranger.

Deep in the dunes Shortly after you enter the dunes, you find yourself in the narrow valley between two of the large sand piles. To your dismay, you find snakes blocking your way. You notice that each snake has lettering upon its back.

Besides the snakes, you also see two large wicker baskets. One of the baskets has the word Descriptive woven into the side of it. The other basket has the word Non-descriptive woven into it.

Upon careful, but closer, inspection of two of the snakes, you realise that the lettering on their backs makes up statements. You surmise that your task is to put snakes with descriptive statements on their backs into the basket with Descriptive woven into the wicker. Likewise, you surmise that you will need to put snakes with non-descriptive statements on their backs into the basket with Non-descriptive woven into it. The Sacred Scroll vibrates in your hand, as if to indicate that you have surmised correctly.

DESCRIPTIVEOrNON-DESCRIPTIVE- - - Phew! You made it through without getting bitten.

Towards the river As you continue through the sand dunes, your throat becomes dry and you dream of getting to the river marked on the map. Before you get there, you reach another valley between two huge dunes, and realise that you will be tested once more. A number of scarab beetles are blocking your way. You notice that, like the snakes, the beetles have lettering upon their backs.

Besides the beetles, you also see two large wicker baskets. One of the baskets has the word Evaluative woven into the side of it. The other basket has the word Non-evaluative woven into it.

Upon careful, but closer, inspection of two of the beetles, you realise that the letters on their backs make up statements. You surmise that your task is to put beetles with evaluative statements on

their backs into the basket with Evaluative woven into the wicker. Likewise, you surmise that you will need to put beetles with non-evaluative statements on their backs into the basket with Non-evaluative woven into it. The Sacred Scroll vibrates in your hand, indicating that you have surmised correctly once again.

Hungry eyes… You walk on through the hot sand until you reach the banks of a river, flowing with clear, blue water. When you arrive, you notice that the bridge you need to cross the river is in need of repair. Even worse, you notice that the river is full of crocodiles, who are eyeing you with hungry glints in their eyes. Your only safe way forward is to repair the bridge. To do this, you will need to move a pile of wooden planks onto the bridge cables. On each plank, you see a statement that is either descriptive or evaluative. To build the bridge, you surmise that you must place each plank on the correct side of the bridge, depending on whether its statement is descriptive or evaluative. The Sacred Scroll vibrates in your hand, indicating that you have surmised correctly once again.

Well done! You have built a very strong bridge and can now cross the river to get closer to the treasure!

Deep in the dunes You now cross the sand until you reach the doorway to the Golden Tomb. You enter, under the watchful eyes of the sphinx, and step into darkness. As you walk forward, you see a hint of light around a nearby corner. You step around the corner and find yourself in front of an elaborately decorated door. The door has two large gold handles, and golden hieroglyphics inscribed upon it. There, you are stopped by Pharaoh Semerkhet, the guardian of the tomb. He is an imposing figure, wearing a heavy gold band around his neck, and holding a flaming torch. “I know why you’re here,” he says. “But you will need to break the code to enter the next room.” You ask him how you can do this. “To break the code,” he says, “look closely at the hieroglyphs in front of the door. Each hieroglyph contains a statement. Read the statement, and place its hieroglyph on the correct pillar, depending on whether the statement is descriptive or evaluative.”

Meeting a Mummy The doors swing open and you step through into a dark stairway. Slowly, you climb two flights of dusty stairs. When you reach the top of the stairway, you find yourself in another dark room, face to face with a frightening figure – a mummy, wrapped in fraying, grey cloth. It stands beside the glittering sarcophagus that it wants to return to. “Help me!” it cries. “I no longer have a brain to solve this puzzle. I need your help to solve the puzzle and open the lid, so I can return to my place of eternal rest. In return for your help I will give you my treasure.” The mummy points down to the floor, where you see a range of dazzling gems – sapphires, rubies, emeralds and yellow diamonds. You ask the mummy what it needs you to do. It explains that each gem is inscribed with a statement. It is your task to read each statement and place it on the correct shelf – descriptive or evaluative. Then, when all the gems are in place, you will be able to open the mummy’s sarcophagus.

Traver, C.O., Lance, B., & White, J.W., ‘Employee turnover and job performance: assessing the influences of salary growth and promotion’, Journal of Armchair Psychology, 118/1 (2008), 56-64.

In this peer reviewed article, Traver et al review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect to job performance, turnover rates and employee motivation. The authors have published extensively in the area of personnel management. They use data gained through organisational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main causes of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures, such as pay for performance and organisational reward schemes. The article is useful to my research topic, as Traver et al suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and variances in employee motivation and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive, research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. This article will not form the basis of my research, however it will be useful supplementary information for my research on pay structures. The article is typical of the growing number of “more research needed” publications finding their way into first-class journals. The usefulness of such articles is questionable.Proceed

Manning, D, The Treaty System: Continuing Challenges, Environmental Policy and Law, 40/6 (2009), 491-494.

In this peer reviewed article, author performs a systematic analysis of all the treaties that combine to create the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS). Manning suggests the Antarctic ecosystem has begun facing challenges, such as overfishing, tourism and certain scientific research questions, which could significantly impact its relatively pristine condition. This ecological threat has developed because the original Antarctic Treaty has almost no environmental aspects. Manning concludes that the ATS has been successful as a framework around which the Antarctic ecosystem has been protected, however challenges continue to exist that must be addressed if the Antarctic ecosystem is to be preserved.The strength of the article is in the author’s sound reasoning from established facts. The author does not seek to over-reach when making conclusions. The article is useful to my research and will form the basis of my research, as it provides a thorough exegesis of the treaty system for the Antarctic region.Proceed

Jackpot! You have opened the sarcophagus and claimed the treasure!The finished (advanced) annotated bibliography entry looks like this:Bert, D I, and Ovens, D J A, Glaciers & glaciation (London: Wiley, 2001).

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature and origin of glaciers. The authors have combined fieldwork and statistical modelling to illustrate the process of glaciation under a range of environmental conditions. Furthermore, the authors present a thorough survey of the literature about glaciation and its relationship to climate. Both authors have extensive experience as glacial geomorphologists and are well regarded in the field. This comprehensive book is suitable for both professional scientists and students wishing to gain an overall understanding of the principles of glacial science. The authors stress that further research is required to fully appreciate the ongoing environmental impacts on glaciers. The book provides useful information to guide my research on glacier-climate relationships. This book will likely become the foundation for my research. Though rather dated, given the dearth of literature on the topic, this book is still highly relevant.

Williams, Jason C., Hoosh: Roast Penguin, Scurvy Night, and Other Stories of Antarctic Cuisine (University of California Press, 2010), 345.

Williams is an experienced US Antarctic researcher who has completed eight seasons in the Antarctic. The author’s conversational delivery but rigorous research (including an eight-page bibliography) means the work appeals to both laypeople and academics alike. He performs an historical review of Antarctic cuisine and, in doing so, describes the dietary limitations and availability of food sources in the Antarctic. The author proposes that early Antarctic explorers and workers found it challenging to remain healthy and sane, given limited fresh food sources such as vegetables and fruits, along with minimal grains and dried legumes. The book deals with Antarctic exploration and survival, as well as Antarctic living experiences. As such, the text provides useful background information, which is relevant to the current area of research; however, the book will not be used as the foundation for this current study. The author weaves personal, anecdotal and

historical testimony together into a pleasing discussion that, given the limitation of doing so, only draws broad conclusions.
