Reading The Old Testament In Light Of The Restoration: A Comprehensive Bibliography Of Lds Writings On The Old Testament (1830-1997), David Rolph Seely Apr 1997

Reading The Old Testament In Light Of The Restoration: A Comprehensive Bibliography Of Lds Writings On The Old Testament (1830-1997), David Rolph Seely

BYU Studies

The Prophet Joseph Smith described the Restoration as a bringing forth of treasures of "things new and old," and indeed modern revelation has shed great light on ancient truths. From Oliver Cowdery's commentary on Zephaniah published in The Evening and the Morning Star in 1833 to the present outpouring of publications in preparation for the Sunday School course of study on the Old Testament in 1998, Latter-day Saints have generated a wealth of writings on the Old Testament which examine anew this ancient book of scripture in light of the Restoration. Through the spectacles of the Restoration we are able …

Sociological Paradigms And Civilizational Studies: Complementary Contributions Of E. A. Ross And P. S. Sorokin, Lawrence T. Nichols Apr 1997

Sociological Paradigms And Civilizational Studies: Complementary Contributions Of E. A. Ross And P. S. Sorokin, Lawrence T. Nichols

Comparative Civilizations Review

This paper argues that the theories of Edward A. Ross and Pitirim A. Sorokin have more in common than is generally realized and documents unrecognized reciprocal influences between the two scholars. Ross developed a social-psychological reading of history emphasizing externally induced change; while Sorokin championed a cultural interpretation grounded in the concepts of immanent causation and the principle of limits. Closer examination, however, shows that Sorokin’s theory of creative altruism resembles Ross’s linear evolutionism. The complementary emphases of the paradigms are consistent with the contexts in which the theorists trained: Ross expresses youthful American optimism while Sorokin articulates the stoicism …

Human Trampling Effects On Regeneration And Age Structures Of Pinus Edulis And Juniperus Monosperma, Alex S. Tonnesen, James J. Ebersole Mar 1997

Human Trampling Effects On Regeneration And Age Structures Of Pinus Edulis And Juniperus Monosperma, Alex S. Tonnesen, James J. Ebersole

Great Basin Naturalist

We examined effects of human foot traffic on age structures and densities of seedlings and saplings of Pinus edulis (Colorado pinyon) and Junisperus monosperma (one-seed juniper) in a heavily used urban park, Garden of the Gods, Colorado. Age structures show no stand-destroying disturbances, but they do contain small peaks 85–95 yr ago (minimum age), which have been interpreted as responses to heavy grazing. For Pinus edulis reverse J-shaped age structures indicate a strongly reproducing population, while flat age structures of J. monosperma show low present reproduction. Young trees showed strong preferences for establishing under existing trees and shrubs and not …

On The Taxonomic Status Of Eriogonum Robustum (Polygonaceae), A Rare Endemic In Western Nevada, Kristin F. Kuyper, Ulla Yandell, Robert S. Nowak Mar 1997

On The Taxonomic Status Of Eriogonum Robustum (Polygonaceae), A Rare Endemic In Western Nevada, Kristin F. Kuyper, Ulla Yandell, Robert S. Nowak

Great Basin Naturalist

Evidence from the morphology, genetics, and biogeography of a rare endemic from western Nevada, Erigonum robustum, is presented to determine the most accurate taxonomic classification. Previous authors have classified E. robustrum Greene both as a species and as a variety E. lobbii Torrey & Gray. However, results of a morphometric comparison for 9 characters establish that significant morphological differentiation exists between E. robustum and E. lobbii. In addition, results of a genetic study using protein electrophoresis indicated that genetic differentiation may exist between these 2 taxa. Furthermore, the 2 taxa are geographically, ecologically, and reproductively isolated. Finally, the …


Ecophysiology Of The Temperate Desert Halophytes: Allenrolfea Occidentalis And Sarcobatus Vermiculatus, James D. Trent, Robert R. Blank, James A. Young Mar 1997

Ecophysiology Of The Temperate Desert Halophytes: Allenrolfea Occidentalis And Sarcobatus Vermiculatus, James D. Trent, Robert R. Blank, James A. Young

Great Basin Naturalist

Numerous basins of the intermountain area often have extensive playa surfaces that are nearly devoid of vegetation. Margins of these playas support sparse communities dominated by chenopod shrubs Allenrolfea occidentalis (iodine bush) and Sacrobatus vermiculatus (black greasewood). These plants establish and persist in an environment where halomorphic soils induce extreme osmotic stress and atmospheric precipitation is very low and erratic and occurs largely during the winter when temperatures are too low for growth. We measured net CO2 assimilation rates, leaf conductances, transpiration rates, water-use efficiencies, and stem xylem potentials for these two C3 species. Data were collected in above-average …


Natural Variability Of Vegetation, Soils, And Physiography In The Bristlecone Pine Forest Of The Rocky Mountains, Brigitte M. Ranne, William L. Baker, Tom Andrews, Michael G. Ryan Mar 1997

Natural Variability Of Vegetation, Soils, And Physiography In The Bristlecone Pine Forest Of The Rocky Mountains, Brigitte M. Ranne, William L. Baker, Tom Andrews, Michael G. Ryan

Great Basin Naturalist

Pinus aristata Engelm. forest vegetation in Colorado was studied to determine vegetation composition and the relationship between vegetation and environment. Species percent cover, tree size class, and environmental variables were recorded for 49 plots. Previously collected data for 4 plots from New Mexico were included. Environmental variables included latitude, longitude, elevation, slope, aspect, topographic position, parent material, percent rock cover, mean rock size, litter depth, estimated plot age class, and evidence of anthropogenic disturbance. Soils were analyzed for texture, depth, and percent carbon and nitrogen. Pinus aristata foliage was analyzed for percent nitrogen and phosphorus. Direct and indirect gradient analyses …

Comparative Power Of Three Author-Attribution Techniques For Differentiating Authors, John B. Archer, John L. Hilton, G. Bruce Schaalje Jan 1997

Comparative Power Of Three Author-Attribution Techniques For Differentiating Authors, John B. Archer, John L. Hilton, G. Bruce Schaalje

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Over the last twenty years, various objective author-attribution techniques have been applied to the English Book of Mormon in order to shed light on the question of multiple authorship of Book of Mormon texts. Two methods, one based on rates of use of noncontextual words and one based on word-pattern ratios, measure patterns consistent with multiple authorship in the Book of Mormon. Another method, based on vocabulary-richness measures, suggests that only one author is involved. These apparently contradictory results are reconciled by showing that for texts of known authorship, the method based on vocabulary-richness measures is not as powerful in …


Present Participle Adjuncts In The Book Of Mormon, Larry G. Childs Jan 1997

Present Participle Adjuncts In The Book Of Mormon, Larry G. Childs

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Participle adjuncts in the Book of Mormon are compared with those in the other writings of Joseph Smith and with English in general. Participle adjuncts include present participle phrases, e.g., “having gained the victory over death” (Mosiah 15:8); present participle clauses, e.g., “he having four sons” (Ether 6:20), and a double-subject adjunct construction, known as the coreferential subject construction, where both subjects refer to the same thing, as in “Alma, being the chief judge . . . of the people of Nephi, therefore he went up with the people” (Alma 2:16). The Book of Mormon is unique in …

Ancient Scrolls From The Dead Sea: Photographs And Commentary On A Unique Collection Of Scrolls, Miles Gerald Bradford Jan 1997

Ancient Scrolls From The Dead Sea: Photographs And Commentary On A Unique Collection Of Scrolls, Miles Gerald Bradford

Maxwell Institute Publications

About the Scrolls M. Gerald Bradford Scrolls from Qumran The scrolls found at Qumran form a signi cant body of religious literature. Chief among them are many biblical manuscripts, along with a number of what could be called parabiblical manuscripts, texts that were circulating at the time but were not considered part of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible). In addition, because they appear to describe the religious beliefs and practices of a speci c religious community—presumably the one centered at Qumran—many of the Qumran scrolls can best be described as sectarian in nature.
