Review Of Geologic Field Trips In Nebraska And Adjacent Parts Of Kansas And South Dakota Edited By Robert F. Diffendal, Jr. And Charles A. Flowerday, James E. Martin
Review Of Geologic Field Trips In Nebraska And Adjacent Parts Of Kansas And South Dakota Edited By Robert F. Diffendal, Jr. And Charles A. Flowerday, James E. Martin
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
This guidebook was published in conjunction with the Geological Society of America's North-Central and South-Central sectional meeting held in Lincoln during the spring of 1995. As a result, the diversity of the field trips mirrors the wide geological interests represented at such a gathering. Subjects range from paleontology and stratigraphy to engineering geology. All of the articles provide important geological data often unobtainable in print elsewhere. Eleven field trips were presented during the GSA meeting; two are not included in the guidebook and are available separately, although the source of these materials is not apparent.

Review Of Wild Animals And Settlers On The Great Plains By Eugene D. Fleharty, Charles A. Flowerday
Review Of Wild Animals And Settlers On The Great Plains By Eugene D. Fleharty, Charles A. Flowerday
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Wild Animals and Settlers on the Great Plains is an informative but flawed book. As an example of environmental history written by a biologist unacquainted with the fundamentals of doing history, it fails to offer any theory (or theories) of history governing the time and place under scrutiny. What it does provide is a huge amount of information drawn from diaries, letters, and newspapers in an inadequately edited form. Lacking primary quantitative data, Eugene Fleharty, a zoologist at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, painstakingly provides a great deal of qualitative, albeit anecdotal, information about Euro-American settlement in Kansas …
Review Of A Time To Lose: Representing Kansas In Brown V. Board Of Education By Paul E. Wilson, Anna Shavers
Review Of A Time To Lose: Representing Kansas In Brown V. Board Of Education By Paul E. Wilson, Anna Shavers
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The fortieth anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education became for many a time to reflect on the wisdom of the Court's decision and to critique its success in desegregating America's public schools. Paul E. Wilson, a law professor at the University of Kansas, has written A Time to Lose not so much to address those issues but a more personal question: why had he argued before the Supreme Court on the wrong side? In his dedication, Wilson sets forth the book's tone and goal: "For Harriet and our children, who believe I was on …
Review Of Anthropology, Public Policy, And Native Peoples In Canada Edited By Noel Dyck And James B. Waldram, Adrian Tanner
Review Of Anthropology, Public Policy, And Native Peoples In Canada Edited By Noel Dyck And James B. Waldram, Adrian Tanner
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
In their chapter in Anthropology, Public Policy, and Natives Peoples in Canada, John O'Neil et al. state that anthropology "has affected policy development in virtually every sector of northern community life except medicine" (p. 216). Despite this observation, the book generally tends to stress Canadian anthropology's overall difficulties in aboriginal policy-making. It examines some of anthropology's most sensitive and difficult issues in this area critically, suggesting an ambivalent relationship towards the policy-making process.
The book's focus on anthropology's problems in contributing to aboriginal public policy is established in the editors' introduction, which examines several sources of these difficulties. A …
