Rainfall Distribution Along Coastal Guyana, 1901-1980, Robert Ramraj
Rainfall Distribution Along Coastal Guyana, 1901-1980, Robert Ramraj
The Geographical Bulletin
Data over an 80-year period from Georgetown, Guyana were analyzed to determine rainfall patterns along the coastal plain. Data revealed that two distinct wet and two dry seasons occur annually and that a high probability exists that annual rainfall almost never surpasses nor lags behind that of the previous year for more than two consecutive years. Additionally, it is concluded that rainfall was heavier during 1941-1980 than during the previous 40 years, and that interannual and interdecadal variability existed during the study period . Apart from their practical application in planning and water resource management, studies of this nature can …
A Home For The Homeless? Residents' Perceptions Of The Armitage Homeless Camp., Cindy L. Mendoz
A Home For The Homeless? Residents' Perceptions Of The Armitage Homeless Camp., Cindy L. Mendoz
The Geographical Bulletin
Responding to a shortage in local shelter space and a preference for alternative forms of shelter, homeless people in Lane County, Oregon, took shelter unlawfully at the Armitage Homeless Camp (AHC). This paper examines the residents' sense of place, concepts of home, and perceptions of the camp in an attempt to gauge the meaning and value of AHC from the perspective of urban campers. Data were collected from November to May, 1993, through participant observation, interviews, and surveys in the forms of questionnaires, cognitive mapping, and selfdirected photography. The data suggest that the campers identified with the environment and community …
Integration Of Geographic Information Systems And Remote Sensing To A Geologic Analysis Of The Llano Uplift,Texas, Michael Clark
Integration Of Geographic Information Systems And Remote Sensing To A Geologic Analysis Of The Llano Uplift,Texas, Michael Clark
The Geographical Bulletin
Developments in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) have provided a practical and economical uses to a variety of disciplines. This paper focuses on the application of this technology to a geologic region using polygon analysis techniques. This application evaluates the feasibility of such methods as compared to conventional geologic field techniques. The Llano Uplift region of central Texas is well defined morphologically and geologically which provides good ground control for aerial photography. A GIS/RS-based analysis scheme is used to extract geologic information from morphological features resulting from surface and subsurface shaping agents. GIS polygon establishment and layer …
Urban Poverty And The Underclass Revisited: "Debates Within" The Underclass Debate., Eugene J. Palka
Urban Poverty And The Underclass Revisited: "Debates Within" The Underclass Debate., Eugene J. Palka
The Geographical Bulletin
Urban poverty and the "underclass" remain politically and emotionally charged topics among academicians and political analysts concerned with American urban affairs. Geographers, however, have not been central to the main debates. The latter trend is perplexing, given the spatially concentrated nature of the underclass problem. This paper provides a synthetic review of the urban underclass concept and a distillation of the underclass debate in order to describe the complex and multifaceted problems associated with the urban underclass, and to illuminate themes which may be of interest to geographers. Urban poverty is more concentrated today, and hence, more geographically distinct than …

Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comments: Geography And Other Disciplines, Gilbert F. White
The Geographical Bulletin
Being a geographer often carries with it the opportunities, pleasures and burdens of working with colleagues from other disciplines. Those opportunities may come in teaching a shared class, in pursuing an inter-departmental curriculum, in carrying out research, or in addressing an issue of public policy. I have shared in all those ways, beginning as a green young graduate student working with engineers, economists, and foresters in a cooperative study. Always I have enjoyed new ideas and methods. Sometimes I have helped other disciplines gain strength from geography. And occasionally it has been frustrating to see geographic ideas ignored. The latter …

Ripe For Harvest: Data Harvesting And The Need For E-Lending Privacy Legislation, George M. Farris
Ripe For Harvest: Data Harvesting And The Need For E-Lending Privacy Legislation, George M. Farris
The Southeastern Librarian
Digital lending has revolutionized libraries, adding a trove of available titles and increased accessibility and convenience to patrons. However, handling of patron privacy when utilizing e-lending services is an area that has not received much attention. This paper examines reasons why libraries and patrons alike should be concerned about privacy and the harvest of data when engaging in e-lending through a non-library entity. Examples of mishandling of patron data are discussed in this paper. Recommendations for legislative and non-legislative actions that libraries can take to uphold the American Library Associa-tion core values of intellectual freedom and privacy are also discussed. …

Harare: Inheriting A Settler-Colonial City: Change Or Continuity? By Carole Rakodi, David Wasserman
Harare: Inheriting A Settler-Colonial City: Change Or Continuity? By Carole Rakodi, David Wasserman
The Geographical Bulletin
Africa has a long colonial legacy. Whether it was the French in the Ivory Coast, the Portuguese in Angola, or British settlers in Southern Rhodesia, European nations had a significant impact on the social, political, and economic landscapes of Africa's cities. Such places were built and managed to reflect the needs of settlers, rather than 'natives.'

Rural Restructuring: Global Processes And Their Responses By Terry Marsden, Philip Lowe, And Sarah What More, Editors., M. Duane Nellis
The Geographical Bulletin
(Cloth). To fully understand the transformation occurring in rural areas requires a broader, more geographically holistic approach to analysis ofthe rural system. Research needs to focus on the implications of reorganization of the international food system, as well as changes taking place in rural areas associated with capitalist recombinations and efforts at some form of rural sustainability.
The Evolving Coast By Richard A. Davisjr, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Evolving Coast By Richard A. Davisjr, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
The most obvious and attractive boundary to people is that which separates the land from the sea. Although shorelines have been examined and classified since the early part of this century (e.g. Gulliver, 1899: Suess, 1909), understanding of their hazards and the consequence of reckless development seems, until quite recently, to have passed us by.
Europe At The Margins: New Mosaics Of Inequality By Costis Hadjimichalis And David Sadler, Editors, Wendy Shaw
Europe At The Margins: New Mosaics Of Inequality By Costis Hadjimichalis And David Sadler, Editors, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
Since the mid 1980's Europe has un122 dergone some fundamental and dramatic transformations, which include the creation of a Single Internal Market and other far reaching economic, political and social changes. The image of Europe that is touted is one of a harmony of differences, of integration, and equality. This integration and harmony is being achieved by allowing the 'logic' of the market to operate, and by engaging in a 'social partnership.' To date, focus has been on the positive aspects of integration, but a darker side exists beyond the rhetoric of a new unified and affluent Europe.

Entering The Watershed By Bob Doppelt, Mary Scurlock, Chris Frissell, James Karrof The Pacific Rivers Council., Evelyn Gallegos
The Geographical Bulletin
Watersheds are surface areas connected by a stream network creating an ecosystem of habitats and basic life-support systems. Holistic and inclusive, watersheds are natural and often neglected tools for cost-effective and sustainable riparian-riverine management. Past piecemeal and reactive approaches to our damaged riverine ecosystems have been ineffective, and in some cases have contributed to further degradation.
Managing Geographic Information Systems By Nancy J. Obermeyer And Jeffrey K. Pinto. G, Kendra Buntrock Barberena
Managing Geographic Information Systems By Nancy J. Obermeyer And Jeffrey K. Pinto. G, Kendra Buntrock Barberena
The Geographical Bulletin
Managing Geographic Information Systems explores theoretical compo - nents of a Geographic Information Sys - tem (GIS) and how to manage them. The authors bel ieve that "previously pub - lished GIS books are instructional texts filled with unrelated case studies with lit - tle theoretical foundation ." They suggest that if the theory behind a GIS is known, it can be effectively applied. Their sec - ondary focus is to enable complete use of the full range of GIS tasks by average users by supplying some basic informa - tion about geographical analysis.
Political Geography (2nd Edition) By Martin Ira Glassner, Jamie M. Goodwin-White
Political Geography (2nd Edition) By Martin Ira Glassner, Jamie M. Goodwin-White
The Geographical Bulletin
Political Geography begins as all good geographies should, by situating what will follow temporally as well as spatially. "It is possible," Glassner begins, " . .. that many years from now historians will look back and judge that the twenty-first century . . . began during the period in which we are now living, roughly from the mid1980s to the mid-1990s." And even ifthis does not prove true, it is most certainly the case that the current period has witnessed substantial re-orientation of the relations between humans and political contexts of space. The spatial scale of human political geographies, it …

Charcoal Making: An Element Of Antiguan Folk Culture, Douglas Heffington
Charcoal Making: An Element Of Antiguan Folk Culture, Douglas Heffington
The Geographical Bulletin
Antigua, in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles, has a rich cultural history. The residuals of a monoculture agriculture involving sugar cane (Saccharum ssp.) cultivation are seen everywhere, including a large ethnic population of African descent. Blacks brought to the island as slave labor since the late 1600s have contributed significantly to Antiguan folk culture, including active participation in the cottage industry of charcoal making and the maintenance of the associated material culture. This paper is the documentation of a folk industry before it is lost to the inevitable encroachment of modernization.
Exploring Spatial Structure Effect On Modeling Spatial Interaction, Engdawork Desta
Exploring Spatial Structure Effect On Modeling Spatial Interaction, Engdawork Desta
The Geographical Bulletin
Measuring the relative importance of locations and accounting for the influence of spatial structure are important considerations in spatial interaction modeling. To determine the volume of attracted and/ or generated flows between interacting locations, different formulations of a gravity model are used. In a system of interaction space, whether it is origins, destinations or both, that should be appraised is still not resolved . The exercise in this paper employs various tracks of the gravity model to evaluate the influence of spatial structure on spatial interaction. The conclusion reached does not fully support the findings of similar previous works. The …
Marketing Distance-Decay And Highland Vegetable Production In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker, Robert N. Martin
Marketing Distance-Decay And Highland Vegetable Production In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker, Robert N. Martin
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper delineates the potential geographical range of vegetable production in Thailand's northern highlands and demonstrates the utility of marketing distance-decay analysis in rural studies. Hill tribes grow vegetables in northern Thailand as replacement cash crops for illegal opium. They produce more vegetables than local markets consume and the surplus is transported to a developing market in Bangkok. The distance-decay rate ofthis new market is treated as a function of transport costs. Isoline maps are used to analyze resulting marketing gradients of important vegetable cash crops. It appears that distance-decay does not inevitably prohibit marketing surplus vegetables in Bangkok. The …

Of Landscapes And Nightmares: The Geography Of Fictional Horror, Michelle K. Smith
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper examines the role of landscape, place, and setting in the horror genre. A brief history of horror is followed by an examination of the trends and changes that have occurred in horror literature over time. Explanations for these trends are offered. Two-hundred horror stories from 1895 to the present are categorized into the three basic genre subtypes (supernatural, psychological, or other), and their associated landscape settings are identified. The city has been and remains the most popular setting in horror fiction, followed by the small town setting, the rural setting, and the suburban setting. All are associated with …

Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comments: On The Pleasures Of Being A Geographer. James J. Parsons, James J. Parsons
The Geographical Bulletin
We often forget our good fortune at being "Geographers." As Carl Sauer once noted ours is not just another academic discipline. We have chosen it because it has special meaning to us, an important premise that does not always apply to those in other fields. For most of us it represents a compelling, almost mystical way of looking at linkages between ourselves and our supporting earth in particular places, regions, or environments. And we do what we do because we like it. Listen to the late Archie Carr, distinguished naturalist-biologist and world authority on turtles and tortoises: "A geographer is …

Climate Change: Impact On Coastal Habitation By Doeke Eisma (Ed.), C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
The coast is the meeting place of continents and oceans and a zone of interest and concern to a diverse group of social and physical scientist. The notion thatthe earth's climate is changing due to the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide is widespread. Increase of fossil fuel consumption is anticipated to result in higher temperatures, weather alterations, dramatic changes in the present-day global agricultural zones, and higher eustatic sea levels due to melting glacial ice.
