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
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 …
Fossils On The Prairie: Abandoned Farmsteads In Southwestern Minnesota, Christopher R. Laingen
Fossils On The Prairie: Abandoned Farmsteads In Southwestern Minnesota, Christopher R. Laingen
The Geographical Bulletin
Between 1935 and 1992, the number of farms in the United States decreased from approximately seven million to fewer than two million. This change left a noticeable imprint on the landscape. Working farmsteads have been reduced to idle, desolate buildings, or in some cases there are no buildings left at all. To study this transformation, black and white air photographs from 1950 were compared with 1990 air photographs. Also, plat books and ground checks in four townships in Watonwan County in southwestern Minnesota helped document changes. Farmsteads were abandoned or demolished because people began to find they could not economically …
Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comment: A Perspective On Military Geography, Eugene J. Palka
Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comment: A Perspective On Military Geography, Eugene J. Palka
The Geographical Bulletin
During times of conflict military geography invariably surfaces as an important problem-solving subfield of geography. Since September 11, 2001, dozens of geographers employed by the Department of Defense have focused their attention on Central Asia in general and on Afghanistan in particular. Academic geographers have also been beckoned by the government, military, and media to apply their particular systematic or regional expertise to America's recent challenge. One cannot dispute the wartime relevance of the subfield, yet since the fall of the Berlin Wall, applications during peacetime and military operations other than war (MOOTW) have become more apparent (Palka and Galgano, …

Towards The Development Of A Gis Model For Planning And Administering Literacy Education Programs In Urban Areas, Jeffrey P. Richetto, William E. Couch
The Geographical Bulletin
As the world continues to change ever higher demands are placed on individuals, households, and businesses; thus, the definition and need to be literate also continue to shift. Today, adults require greater levels of basic skills commensurate to function effectively in an increasingly visual and technological environment. Within the United States fewer than ten percent of the estimated 44 million adults who could potentially benefit from literacy programs are currently being served. Additional funding, improved coordination among service providers, and greater availability of support services including childtare, transportation, and accessible class meeting sites are important planning issues. Therefore, it becomes …

Geographer At Work: John A. Rusatsky Zoning Enforcement Officer, Leon Yacker
The Geographical Bulletin
ROUTE TO THE JOB: When John Rusatsky graduated from Southern Connecticut State University in 1979 with a B.S. degree in Geography he knew what he wanted to do in the future. He had chosen the specialization in planning offered by the department after overhearing a casual conversation by two other students about geography. He was dissatisfied with the major he had at the time and so he approached a faculty member in the department for further information. Before changing his major, his grades were poor and he had no particular interest in the future. Like many students he " discovered" …
