Population-Environment Dynamics. Ideas And Observations. (4th Edition) By Gay Ld. Ness, William D. Drake, Steven R. Brechin, Editors., Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
Population and the environment are intertwined in a complex web that demands the analysis of numerous theoretical and practical issues. These issues have been neglected in the past, and the topics of population and the environment artificially separated in both thought and action. This book attempts to fill these voids using an inductive and interdisciplinary approach. A series of authors contribute fifteen chapters organized into five sections. Section I explores global per - spectives relating to population and the environment, Section II analyzes the im - portance of the state as an actor, Section III focuses on population-environment dynamics in …
Transformation Of Japan's Rural Landscape And Economy: The Case Of A Rice Growing Village In Central Japan, Akira Tabayashi
Transformation Of Japan's Rural Landscape And Economy: The Case Of A Rice Growing Village In Central Japan, Akira Tabayashi
The Geographical Bulletin
Rural regions and communities in Japan have changed drastically following the rapid economic development that occurred in the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. Important outcomes of rural changes were the rapid outflow of labor from rural areas and the increase in the number of part-time farmers. This paper mainly focuses its attention on the evolutionary processes of rural regions over three decades from 1960 to the present, through a case study of a typical Japanese village named Urayamashin. The traditional rice growing village transformed itself into a non-farming village in the early 1970s partly because of a reduction …
Rediscovering The Roots Of Moroccan Geography In An Era Of Interdependence, Donald J. Zeigler, Driss Fassi
Rediscovering The Roots Of Moroccan Geography In An Era Of Interdependence, Donald J. Zeigler, Driss Fassi
The Geographical Bulletin
The indigenous traditions of Moroccan geography, pioneered by such figures as AI Idrisi and Ibn Khaldun during the classical period of Arab intellectual history (1000-1400), came to be ignored and then replaced with the establishment of a French protectorate in 1912. The era of independence in Moroccan geography was supplanted by an era of dependence on European scholarship, which emphasized resource exploitation and which was to last until political independence in 1956. Following that watershed year, intellectual inquiry became more independent and focused on the development needs of the nation. Following a period of Moroccanization in the 1970s, which included …
The Electoral Geography Of Oregon's Ballot Measure 16: The Death With Dignity Act, Kathleen O'Reilly
The Electoral Geography Of Oregon's Ballot Measure 16: The Death With Dignity Act, Kathleen O'Reilly
The Geographical Bulletin
On November 8, 1994 Oregon became the first state in the nation to pass legislation allowing terminally ill patients to end their own lives with the assistance of a physician. Ballot Measure 16, the Death with Dignity Act, removes criminal penalties for assisting a terminally ill suicide, but does not allow lethal injection. In August 1995, U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan ruled the Death with Dignity Act violates the equal protection clause ofthe 14th Amendment. The ruling is being appealed. This paper investigates electoral voting patterns regarding Measure 16 in the 36 Oregon counties. It explores the relationships between votes …
Hydrogeomorphic Response Of A Coastal Plain Stream To Tributary Channelization, Elizabeth J. Nabb, David Shankman
Hydrogeomorphic Response Of A Coastal Plain Stream To Tributary Channelization, Elizabeth J. Nabb, David Shankman
The Geographical Bulletin
The Hatchie River in western Tennessee is one of the few remaining free-flowing streams in the Gulf Coastal Plain. Although there have been no major modifications of the main channel, many of its tributaries have been channelized during the past few decades. Channelization has significantly reduced flooding in the upper sections of the watershed. The straightened and hydrologically more efficient channels, however, speed the flow of water that scours the channel bed. Sediment derived from these unstable channels is transported downstream and into the main channel. An examination of changes in bed elevation indicate that the depth and therefore cross-sectional …
Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comment: The Human Factor In Recent Climate Change Remains Unproven, Carl F. Ojala
Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comment: The Human Factor In Recent Climate Change Remains Unproven, Carl F. Ojala
The Geographical Bulletin
Global warming, the theory and controversy involving artificial enhancement of the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere, has emerged as one of the prime environmental issues of recent years. Proponents conclude it may produce serious worldwide problems in the near future, such as rising sea levels, geographic shifts in farming and forest regions, and changes in agricultural yields, water resources, and wetlands. Conversely, skeptics imply that any warming due to proposed increases in greenhouse gases is undetectable and unpredictable among the natural variations in long-term atmospheric temperatures.

Variability And Frequency Of Daily Rainfall In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Abdullah Ai-Saleh
Variability And Frequency Of Daily Rainfall In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Abdullah Ai-Saleh
The Geographical Bulletin
This study examines the temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. The city has experienced significant urbanization in the past two decades. Therefore, the impervious surfaces and the restriction of original surface flow routes increase runoff in Riyadh city. Thus, stormwater frequently accumulates in streets because it exceeds the storm sewer capacity, storm sewers are blocked or partially blocked by sediment, or due to the lack of storm sewers. Data from three climatic stations in Riyadh and north of the city are used to characterize the temporal and spatial variations of rainfall amounts …
Frost Protection From Small Protective Coverings, Kathleen M. Baker, Robert H. Aron
Frost Protection From Small Protective Coverings, Kathleen M. Baker, Robert H. Aron
The Geographical Bulletin
The purpose of this study was to determine the frost protection value of covering your plants in spring with polyethylene terephthalate (plastic) milk jugs or polyurethane rose cones. These coverings were placed in a field southeast of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nocturnal temperatures were measured from May 7- 24, 1995 on clear and cloudy nights. Spring nocturnal temperatures inside one U.S. gallon milk jugs were slightly lower and those inside rose cones slightly higher than ambient air temperatures. Placing holes near the bases of these covers to provide additional circulation resulted in slightly lower nocturnal temperatures under the rose cones but no …
Appalachian Kentucky: Some Comments Concerning Poverty And The Nature Of The Banking Network In The Region, Wendy Shaw
Appalachian Kentucky: Some Comments Concerning Poverty And The Nature Of The Banking Network In The Region, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
The Appalachian region has been a core of poverty for many decades. In this research, some changes in the extent and nature Qf poverty in the region are presented that suggest despite extensive programs designed to combat poverty, a core of intense poverty still persists. While significant improvements have been made in such areas as transportation, it seems clear that some roots of poverty in the region have not been addressed. It is argued that one neglected area involves the banking network in eastern Kentucky. This contention is supported by analyzing banking data concerning the internal banking network within the …

Comments On Canadian Regionalism And The Media, Jay D. Gatrell, Jonathan D. Gatreli
The Geographical Bulletin
This research explores the impact of regionalism in Canada on the program design ofthe Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) Prime Time News. An analysis was performed on the content of this program to determine whether or not such regional considerations exist. The content analysis extracted two key variables, Total Segments and Segment Length, to determine if the CBC employed a decision making process imilar to the federal government's de jure and de facto regional allocation process for governmental appointments. The paper concludes that such a decision-making process was not clearly endorsed by the analysis; however, additional statistical analysis illustrates the potential …

Physical Hydrology By S. Lawrence Ding-Man, Patricia J. Beyer
Physical Hydrology By S. Lawrence Ding-Man, Patricia J. Beyer
The Geographical Bulletin
As the public eye increasingly focuses on issues related to the use and quality of water, the science of hydrology expands from its position as an academic and engineering endeavor to one of prominance in people's everyday lives. With this expansion comes the need for education, not only for hydrologists and geomorphologists, but for biologists, botanists, earth scientists, climatologists, land managers, developers and policy makers. Water is a fascinating and complex substance: not only is water itself a resource, but it is also a main pathway for energy and chemical transfer in the Earth-atmosphere system.

The Heat/Humidity Quandary: A Case Study Of New England, Carl F. Ojala, William Babcock
The Heat/Humidity Quandary: A Case Study Of New England, Carl F. Ojala, William Babcock
The Geographical Bulletin
When the occasional heat wave occurs during summer, people often bemoan the unbearable temperature and humidity conditions. Most of us have heard, and maybe even used, the statement " 90°F. temperature and 90% relative humidity." This exceptional weather condition, based on popular confusion of the temperature/relative humidity concept, generally seems to be perceived as possible by most people. In this research, a 30- year archive approaching one million data sets for seven New England cities was examined to determine the validity of such an expression. Hourly summer temperature, dew point, and relative humidity data were analyzed. From 1961 to 1990 …

The Geographic Society And Gamma Theta Upsilon At Arizona State University, Malcolm L. Comeaux
The Geographical Bulletin
Throughout most of the history of Arizona State University (founded in 1885) there has been a strong student organization devoted to the study of geography and the state of Arizona . This organization was established early, and once established, it always existed. A club such as this one is particularly important to students, since belonging to a small group leads to comraderie and lifelong friendships, and it can be a valuable learning experience. One of the main goals of the geography student organization was always the taking offield trips, and such field trips are fondly remembered by ex-members. Prof. Fred …
Assessment Of The Growth, Nature, And Character Of Three Squatter Settlements In The Durban Functional Area, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, Hari P. Garbharran
Assessment Of The Growth, Nature, And Character Of Three Squatter Settlements In The Durban Functional Area, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, Hari P. Garbharran
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper examines the growth, nature, and character of three informal settlement complexes in the Durban Functional Region (DFR) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Informal settlements or jondolas have become a permanent feature of the South African landscape since democracy. During the apartheid era (1948 to 1994) these structures were temporary, existed in the shadow of metropolitan areas, and faced removal. The post-apartheid period has been characterized by an upsurge in the development of informal settlements especially around metropolitan areas. Restrictions imposed upon certain segments of the population since colonial times have been crushed. In some instances, t hese unplanned settlements …
Third World Development And Population: A Reflection, Engdawork Desta
Third World Development And Population: A Reflection, Engdawork Desta
The Geographical Bulletin
In a world of plenty, many countries continue to suffer from lack of basic necessities. Development might be a controversial issue, however, the reason for Third World countries remain underdeveloped is certainly not because of absence of resources or lack of know-how. The relationship between development and population might also be direct but it is not necessarily negative all the time. If the potentials of science and technology are released, most of the constraints of economic sustainability would probably be overcome within a few years.

A Brief History Of The Delta Zeta Chapter At South Dakota State University Brookings, South Dakota, Donald J. Berg
The Geographical Bulletin
Delta Zeta Chapter at South Dakota State University in a direct sense grew out of the Alpha Rho Chapter at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO. There, Edward P. Hogan, who was a student at the time, had been active in the Chapter as its president. His wife, Joan M. Hogan, was also a member in the 1960s. Thethird person who would ultimately playa role in the formation of Delta Zeta was Lee A. Opheim, an instructor at Saint Louis University, who had joined the Mu Chapter at the University of Minnesota, Duluth in the 1950s.
