The Relationship Between Politics And Public Drinking Water In The District Of Columbia, William James Smith, Jr.
The Relationship Between Politics And Public Drinking Water In The District Of Columbia, William James Smith, Jr.
The Geographical Bulletin
The nature ofthe relationship between politics and public drinking water in the District of Columbia is examined. Thecase study of the nexus between water resource management, public health, public relations, and politics sheds light on issues that may affect quality and quantity of drinking water in the United States. The country has a complex set of laws and policies that effectively split responsibility for individual aspects of drinking water management among a variety of governmental and non-governmental agencies. Attimes, this shared responsibility breeds conflict that occurs at the expense of the general public. By examining the root cause of political …

Wartime Encounter With Geography., C. Nicholas Raphael
Wartime Encounter With Geography., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
Every once in a while a book comes along that I cannot put down once I first pick it up to inspect it to see if it is worthy of my time. I obtained Wartime Encounter With Geography based upon my respect for Professor de Blij and because it seemed it might well be interesting. It arrived right in the middle of the semester, just when I did not have the time for (what I thought would be) recreational reading . I did, however, think I had a few minutes to take what I thought would be a quick scan …

Essays In Human Ecology By Donald J. Bogue. C, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
As we enter the twenty -first century this publication is timely, focusing on is - sues of aging that are projected to be - come increasingly important and press - ing in the near future. As the author states 'The "elderly boom " will officially begin in 2011 , the 65th anniversary of the sudden upsurge in births following the end of World War II .. In the year 2000 the percent of the U.S. population aged 65 or older is estimated to be 12 .8; by 2030 this percentage is expected to have risen to over 20 percent. In …
Contemporary Regulatory Policy By M. Eisner, J. Worsham, And E. Ringquist: Lynne Rienner, C. Nicholas Raphael
Contemporary Regulatory Policy By M. Eisner, J. Worsham, And E. Ringquist: Lynne Rienner, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
In Contemporary Regulatory Policy, Eisner, Worsham, and Ringquist provide the novice and seasoned student of regulatory policy with an innovative and in- tegrative perspective on the sometimes 'wonk-ish' world of policy analysis. Using jargon sparingly, a predictable organization template for each chapter, an accessible, and at times irreverent, writing style, the book examines the multifaceted public policy process, in general and government regulation, specifically. Through the construction of several substantively and conceptually different case studies, the book examines the evolution of U.S. regulatory legislation. From the early industry-specific controls to the establishment of wider society-wide programs, the authors demonstrate the …
Between Africa And The Abyss: Globalization, Media, And The Invisibility Of A Continent, Julie A. Silva, Elvin K. Wyly
Between Africa And The Abyss: Globalization, Media, And The Invisibility Of A Continent, Julie A. Silva, Elvin K. Wyly
The Geographical Bulletin
Mass communication, perception, and mental maps are pervasive themes in human geography. Yet the role of globalization on our collective mental maps remains poorly understood, raising critical questions of theory and policy as flows of capital, people, and ideas continue to blur the boundaries between local and international events. This paper analyzes these themes in the context of subSaharan Africa, focusing specifically on the civil war in Sierra Leone. The nature of armed conflict in Africa has evolved considerably in recent decades, and the globalization of Western media has altered the way the region has been portrayed. As publishers, editors, …
International Tourism Trends In Cuba, David Aagesen, Jennifer Paluch
International Tourism Trends In Cuba, David Aagesen, Jennifer Paluch
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper surveys the history and current status of international tourism in Cuba, whose leaders have embraced the tourism industry since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Data were obtained during a visit to the island in 1999 and from various secondary sources in U.S. libraries. The paper seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of tourism in Cuba by integrating disparate sources of information. It also aims to assess the challenges associated with the development of Cuba's tourism industry. The country has experienced an explosive growth in tourism relative to other Caribbean destinations, but Cuban leaders must confront numerous socioeconomic …
Australia's Strategic Posture: A Change In Spatial Orientation Under The Howard Government, Sean M. Mcdonald, Bruce R. Vaughn
Australia's Strategic Posture: A Change In Spatial Orientation Under The Howard Government, Sean M. Mcdonald, Bruce R. Vaughn
The Geographical Bulletin
Australia's evolving strategic posture in the Asia-Pacific region, since March, 1996 when the Howard Government was first elected is examined and discussed: Specifically, the following three geopolitical policies are addressed: 1) In what direction, politically and spatially, has the Howard Government taken Australian defense policy? Specifically, the increased importance placed on the U.S. alliance and the concept of " Forward Cooperation;" 2) Is the Howard Government's defense policy well suited to address Australia's security needs in the rapidly changing geopolitical environment of the Asia-Pacific region; 3) Do the Howard Government's policy initiatives represent continuity or departure for Australian defense policy? …
Canola In Prairie Canada: Its Development As A Regional Crop And Its Challenge To Wheat, Thomas A. Rumney
Canola In Prairie Canada: Its Development As A Regional Crop And Its Challenge To Wheat, Thomas A. Rumney
The Geographical Bulletin
Canola (Brassica napus), a variety of rapeseed used for edible vegetable oils, animal feed, and industrial oil products, is a relatively new addition to the repertoire of crops grown by farmers in the Canadian Prairies. Becoming common only after approximately 1960. Canadian canola production has been concentrated in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and has become a serious rival to wheat in terms of acreage and production levels. This paper examines the growth and development of this regional agricultural phenomenon from the poi nt of view of its location and distributional characteristics.

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comment: Geography's Future: Professional Or Academic?, Reginald G. Galledge
The Geographical Bulletin
The 21st century brings to the fore the age-old arguments about the functions of colleges and universities. The University as the host for scholarly thinking and activities has dominated in most countries. But the late 20th century saw an increased demand for professional training. Some faculties continued to develop along both fronts (e.g., medicine, law) where research was indeed an important component, but where training of practitioners was, at some places, even more important. Other areas focused more on training, and developed " professional schools" where related academics were combined with technical or other training programs to " certify" practitioners. …
Activity Spaces Of Dwarfs: Research Via The Internet, Robert J. Kruse, Ii
Activity Spaces Of Dwarfs: Research Via The Internet, Robert J. Kruse, Ii
The Geographical Bulletin
Literature devoted to the concept of activity space occupies an important place in the field of human geography. Researchers have found that spatial experience is affected by characteristics such as race, gender, handicaps and social stigma. However, absent from this literature is an examination of the activity spaces of dwarfs. Dwarfism raises important geographical questions regarding the social constructs and physical constraints faced by individuals of extremely short stature. For this project, questionnaires were posted on an Internet listserver for dwarfs. People who identified themselves as dwarfs responded to a variety of questions about the physical and social aspects of …

Water In The Middle East. A Geographyof Peace By A. Amery And Arron T. Wolf (Eds.)., C. Nicholas Raphael
Water In The Middle East. A Geographyof Peace By A. Amery And Arron T. Wolf (Eds.)., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
Despite the image that "it is all the same" the Middle East is a paradox in context and poorly understood. Oil rich and the center of three monotheistic religions in the Middle East contrast with political disarray and the availability of resources such as water. The arid empty 61 spaces contrast with the urbanization occurring throughout the region
Principles Of Glacial Geomorphology And Geology By I. Peter Martini, Michael E. Brookfield, And Steven Sadura., C. Nicholas Raphael
Principles Of Glacial Geomorphology And Geology By I. Peter Martini, Michael E. Brookfield, And Steven Sadura., C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
"Principles of Glacial Geomorphology and Geology" is different from most glacier-related textbooks. The principal difference between this text and most others is the wider range of topics covered. As in most glacial texts, the book covers glaciology and glacial sediments and landforms. Close to half of this text, however, covers permafrost and periglacial processes, dating techniques, isostasy/eustasy, migration of biota dur - ing glacial cycles, and an extensive global history of glaciation. As a result, the most positive aspect of the book is that one can design a class, using one book, that covers almost any glacier-related topic. The negative …
Seeing The Blind: Humanism And The Experience Of Place, Joshua F. J Inwood
Seeing The Blind: Humanism And The Experience Of Place, Joshua F. J Inwood
The Geographical Bulletin
Since much of our world is visually based, many researchers question how the "non-sighted " fit into this larger framework. Whereas many geographers have looked at navigation this paper will explore how the blind ascribe a practical understanding of the world that is constructed largely by and for those with sight. Because much of the relevant data involve perceptions not easily understood, this paper relies on qualitative methods, specifically the open-ended interview, to construct personal narratives. These narratives are analyzed using a humanistic perspective.
Guyana's Border Disputes With Venezuela And Suriname, Robert Ramraj
Guyana's Border Disputes With Venezuela And Suriname, Robert Ramraj
The Geographical Bulletin
Guyana is currently actively engaged in border disputes with Venezuela on its western border, and with Suriname to its east. The first dispute involves an area of over 50,000 square miles or two-thirds of Guyana. The Surinamese claim to Guyanese territory covers over 5,000 square miles. One source of dispute is that borders were drawn when Guyana and Suriname were colonies of Britain and the Netherlands respectively. Vast proven untapped resources including minerals (oil, gold, diamonds, bauxite and manganese), tropical hardwood forests and fishing grounds are present in the disputed regions. While diplomacy and negotiations have been employed often, Suriname, …
An Analysis Of Attacks By Grizzly Bears (Ursus Arctos Horribi/Is) In Glacier National Park, Montana, Lisa M. Dechano, David R. Butler
An Analysis Of Attacks By Grizzly Bears (Ursus Arctos Horribi/Is) In Glacier National Park, Montana, Lisa M. Dechano, David R. Butler
The Geographical Bulletin
Grizzly bears inhabit several popular recreation areas in the American West, including Glacier National Park, Montana. The likelihood of a grizzly bear-human confrontation increases as annual visitation continues to increase. This study investigates grizzly bear-human confrontations for each type of attack, in Glacier National Park from 1910 to the present. The types of confrontations, and the spatial and temporal distributions of each type of attack are examined. Maulings are the most frequent type of confrontation, followed by charges and then fatalities, respectively. Spatially, most attacks occur in the central portion ofthe Park, and east of the Continental Divide. Attacks also …
The New Geography Of Conflict, Michael T. Klare
The New Geography Of Conflict, Michael T. Klare
The Geographical Bulletin
During the Cold War, strategic planning focused on diverging ideological views between the United States and the Soviet blocs located in central and southeastern Europe and Northeast Asia. In the last decade these regions lost much strategic significance for the U.S. whereas other regions (e.g., Caspian Sea basin, the Gulf states, South China Sea) are receiving increased attention from Washington and other industrialized countries. A renewed concern of global resources, especially oil and natural gas, has created a new international, national and local geography of conflict. China and Russia have made their presence felt in key energy producing areas through …
