Bicycling: A Review, A Pilot Study And Planning Implications, Brian Dyck
Bicycling: A Review, A Pilot Study And Planning Implications, Brian Dyck
The Geographical Bulletin
Bicycling is a growing activity. It provides both a form of exercise and a means of transportation. Recent estimates indicate there are over 85 million bicycle users in the United States.' Renewed interest in bicycling has occurred in the last ten years.' Some of the major reasons for the growth in bicycling include the revival of social acceptability of adult bicycling, the emphasis on the need for exercise, the greater availability of leisure time, the provision of bike ways and a response to the "energy crisis". The growth of bicycling, however, has caused some crucial concerns. Two of the more …

Military Geography: A Viable Field, Gary S. Freedom
Military Geography: A Viable Field, Gary S. Freedom
The Geographical Bulletin
The image geographers of as military militaristic geographers has not been conducive to widespread acceptance and participation by academia. Mr. Graves has decried the narrow parameters of military geography, parameters made even more narrow by his arbitrary definition of the profession .. only those who are trained geographers and a component of the military. There is a distinct difference between membership in the military and those in our profession who study the character of an area in the context of military operations, even though a significant number of military geographers are associated with the military. His limited definition leaves out …
An Epigraphic· Geography Or "Kilroy (Amongst Others) Was Here", George F. Carter
An Epigraphic· Geography Or "Kilroy (Amongst Others) Was Here", George F. Carter
The Geographical Bulletin
Vigorous debate has raged virtually since Columbus' discovery of America over who the American Indians were, where they came from, how they got here, and what the source of their civilization was. Momentarily, consideration was given to their being a separate creation; not the descendants of the people of Genesis. The Pope settled that by stating firmly that the Indians were God's creatures just as surely as the Spanish and Portuguese were, and as such entitled to all the rights, duties, and privileges thereto appertaining as they say as they cap and gown you.

In a conversation with Dr. Carter, at the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a year ago, he discussed some of the recent findings of investigators of ancient civilizations and particularly their new information regarding worldwide travel of those societies. Because exploration geography is a field that is neglected by most research geographers, and because some students feel that there are few new research areas to become involved in, I asked Dr. Carter if he he could write, for student consumption, an article which would demonstrate the attractiveness of exploration geography as a research career. …

Migration Models· Application In An African Context (An Analytical Review), Ademola T. Salau
The Geographical Bulletin
The history of Africa is full of the accounts of movements of people on large scales. Some of the movements had occurred in the form of conquests in war and some had taken place by a slow and largely peaceful shift to new lands. Such movements we are told, have been a feature of Africa in the past and are one of its most important demographic features at present. There is no phase of African history which can be understood without reference to the movements of people both before and during it." However, there are differences in types, magnitudes and …

The Impact Of Land Use On Wildlife Habitat, Dean Wilde
The Impact Of Land Use On Wildlife Habitat, Dean Wilde
The Geographical Bulletin
The scope of biogeography includes, among other things, the analysis of the distribution and redistribution of biota as a result of a more or less purposeful and direct modification of the natural environment by man.! One aspect of human modification of natural environments has been the alteration and destruction of wi Idlife habitats. Wildlife is a product of the land.2 Different kinds of wildlife can occupy the land only so long as their required habitat types exist in a particular spatial arrangement. The maximum population of wildlife that any given unit of land can support, therefore depends on the interspersion …

The fare this issue is varied -- one article deals with some aspects of mobile homes; one with wildlife habitat; and, one with migration. And in the entire lot of them there is only one set of maps -- and those were done by a computer. I keep looking for maps in papers which are submitted. On occasion, there is one. Often there are photos or diagrams -- but not frequently enough. Do we really stress today our basic tools in Geography? Does anyone teach a course in how to photograph as well as how to analyze photos? The National …

Artificial Intelligence: In Your Phone And In Your Head, Gabrielle A. Johnson
ENGL 1102 Showcase
Artificial intelligence (AI) innovation has gained traction in recent years due to large investments towards improving the average person’s daily life. While operating the parent companies of common platforms such as Amazon, Instagram, and Microsoft, America’s richest citizens have spent billions on improving and researching the recent technology. AI offers ‘shortcuts’ to many daily inconveniences, fostering an over-reliance on the technology that has also led to human shortcomings. By using artificial intelligence, students can easily fill in homework answers with no calculations or critical thinking necessary. Beyond academics, relying on this technology compromises a broader necessity: human connection. With chatbots …

Volume 17 is a ont! article effort. Professor Kenneth Holmes has been studying the activities of Sir Francis Drake for some time now. Several things are apparent. First, the literature on Drake is confusing and somewhat contradictory, particularly with respect to the voyages in the north east Pacific Ocean. Second, although Holmes Is an historian, his work generally falls in the area of exploration and most certainly his "proofs" are tied directly to the work of geographers. Third, the article demonstrates research activities in diverse kinds of publications - tasks not unlike those Geographers must pursue. It is hoped you …

The year 1979 is to be a magical one. We will be reUving the excitement of the passage of a tiny ship called both the Pelican and the Golden Hind (also speJled Golden Hinde) and her dashing commander, Captain Francis Drake, and his crew as they visited the Pacific Coast of North America exactly tour hundred years ago this summer. We are celebrating a cuadricentennial. For over twenty years now it has been the privitege of the writer as a serious historical scholar to seek to iron out the details of the Drake voyage in our part of the globe. …

The Influence Of High And Low Pressure Systems On Hurricane Movement As Seen Over North America, Lawrence R. Handley
The Influence Of High And Low Pressure Systems On Hurricane Movement As Seen Over North America, Lawrence R. Handley
The Geographical Bulletin
illustrate one of the many atmospheric controls that influence the trajectories, speed, and intensity of hurricanes. The article developed as an exercise aimed at viewing the impact of welldeveloped high pressure cells on well-developed low pressure systems. The hurricane is used as the model of the well-developed low pressure system, because it is compact, mobile, and well-defined. Thus, the relationships between low pressure and high pressure systems can best be documented, isolated, and studied using hurricanes as the model. It is important that the reader understand that past research has identified many controls affecting the movements and velocities of hurricanes, …

Goodness, what a great number of hats this honored guest has worn and continues to wear. To name only a few: Doctor, Professor, Head of a Department, University President, Human Individual, Field Trip Director, Innovator, Counselor and others. Counselor. All may not agree on what is his greatest role in life, but perhaps it is that of counselor. What would be the profession of many of us tonight if there had been no R. G. Buzzard. What might I be in and where might I be if he "A. G." had not befriended me before and after graduating in June …

When I was a student at The University of Chicago, (I am S.B., 1916; S.M., 1917), and again after service in World War I, Geography and GEOLOGY were housed in Rosenwald Hall, and students of those fields rubbed elbows with each other. Students in GEOLOGY were enjoying the fellowship of a national professional fraternity in "their field". Geography students had no similar association, nor was there the least bit of concern on the part of students or faculty in Geography because of lack of this privilege. In 1924-25 I was a senior fellow in the Graduate School of Geography at …

Dr. Robert G. Buzzard conceived the idea of a professional fraternity in the field of geography while he was a student at the University of Chicago just prior to World War I. He dropped the matter when he was unable to find a group of students who could be interested in forming such an organization. During 1924-25, when Dr. Buzzard was a graduate student at Clark University, a local organization which came to be known as the Clark Geographical Society, made up of persons with a graduate degree from Clark, sparked the interest of many geographers. He found only lukewarm …

Climatic Preference, Jeffrey T. Lutz
The Geographical Bulletin
Researchers within the discipline of geography seek to achieve an enhanced comprehension of man's perception of the world. Therefore, environmental perception is a subject of great consequence to geographers. Understanding of the sources of environmental variance perception in is essential to an understanding of variation in man's environmental behaviors. 1 The mental image is one of the major determinants of spatial behavior; and spatial images area an individual's cognitive representation of the spatial environment, and are a summary of what he considers meaningful about the environment.' Climate is a strategic factor affecting man's responses to the complex environment, and climate …

The Diffusion Of Transportation Effects In An Urban Network, David Burik
The Geographical Bulletin
Large urban centers are served by transport networks which consist of a great number of links and nodes. Predicting what the effects of the construction of a proposed link, the abandonment of superfluous elements, or the improvement of existing links will be on the traffic flows over the entire system is currently a timeconsuming and expensive undertaking. It is nevertheless, a necessary step investment appraisal. It is for proper often the case that the amount of available capital will only allow for the completion of a relatively small scale projects. The cost of a full traffic study to assess the …

Valparaiso, with a population of 20,900 as of 1970, is a city which serves the inhabitants of Porter County in northwest Indiana. The exact variety and combination of its services are not duplicated anywhere else in the world. In addition to the expected municipal functions for a city of its size (e.g. street repair, police and fire protection, mail and newspaper deliveries, shopping, and recreation facilities), Valparaiso also performs functions that other towns in the immediate vicinity do not provide. Examples of such functions include serving as the county seat of Porter County; housing the only Lutheran university in the …
A Geographic Analysis Of Crime Rate In Southwestern Michigan: 1967·1973, James F. Lee
A Geographic Analysis Of Crime Rate In Southwestern Michigan: 1967·1973, James F. Lee
The Geographical Bulletin
In the last five years the study of the spatial dynamics of crime has become an important subfield of the geographic discipline. Numerous, well known studies have appeared, written by geographers and non-geographers alike, dealing with the geography of crime in general or with specific areal units.' While this abundance of research has been fruitful, it has, nonetheless, been haphazard. An attempt to remedy this situation was recently put forward by Phillips, who has identified several well defined research frontiers open to geographers of crime.2 Suggested by Phillips are four areas in which geographers should concentrate their crime research efforts: …
