Perspectives In Wine Consumption, John Kistner
Perspectives In Wine Consumption, John Kistner
The Geographical Bulletin
Topological space involves relationships between parts of a single object or between an object and its immediate environment, continuously and independent of distances (Figures 3 and 4). Since a collection of elements in space may be exploded or contracted at will, conserving neither straight lines, distances nor directions, topological concepts do not lead to the construction of a stable system which relates components to one another, nor to a system of fixed relations between elements and space.2 Students who perceive spatial relationships with a topological perspective, often are unable to perform well in those tasks associated with quantitative or qualitative …

Beer Consumption, Gary O'Dell
Beer Consumption, Gary O'Dell
The Geographical Bulletin
Alcohol is one of the beverages with which man has had a long association. In some form it is present in almost every society, often used for social, religious, and medicinal functions. One form of this beverage, beer, in the United States is the end product of a six billion dollar industry. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an exercise, through student inquiry, which allows the development of the patterns an.d trends of beer consumption in the United States. The activity commences with locating the geographical points where the beer is consumed, and considers the direct and indirect …
Post-1960 Research Trends In Economic Geography: Review And Prospect, Jack D. Burk
Post-1960 Research Trends In Economic Geography: Review And Prospect, Jack D. Burk
The Geographical Bulletin
In the past twenty years economic geography has undergone very profound and important paradigmatic and methodological changes. The purpose of this note is to delineate and summarize briefly several of these changes and the related trends that have evolved in the recent literature of economic geography. Five trends have been discerned and each will be discussed in turn below. It should be noted that these five trends or tendencies are not mutually exclusive nor do they necessarily pertain only to the post-1960 literature of economic geography. Indeed, some of the research trends discussed below are not only indicative of the …
Root Wedging And Rock Disintegration, James E. Stembridge
Root Wedging And Rock Disintegration, James E. Stembridge
The Geographical Bulletin
Plants and their roots are very active in the process of rock disintegration and weathering. We are all familiar with sidewalks that have been lifted and cracked by tree roots. Most of us have seen concrete cracks widened by weed growth. Yet plant roots have been almost completely ignored by geomorphologists in their studies of weathering agents. Common opinion has been limited to the view that plants prevent erosion rather than cause it. The importance of plants in erosion control was given widespread popular recognition early in the nineteenth century after the Alpine torrents were blamed on the removal of …
The American Southwest', Lewis I. Deitch, David W. Lantis
The American Southwest', Lewis I. Deitch, David W. Lantis
The Geographical Bulletin
Nearly everyone seems to agree that there is a Southwest. But its location differs considerably according to the authority cited.2 Few would seem to agree that the collegiate athletic conference of that name is in the Southwest at all. " Our" Southwest (see map) is a dry land where there has been a blending of Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures. Hence it extends from the eastern face of the Peninsular Ranges (in southern California) to the Great Plains. It stretches northward from the Mexican border-but how far? In the northeastern quadrant physiography is important-the Southwest abuts against the Southern Rocky …
The Resolution Of The Rann Of Kutch Boundary Problem, John B. Ray
The Resolution Of The Rann Of Kutch Boundary Problem, John B. Ray
The Geographical Bulletin
Political geographers have long been concerned with international disputes resulting from ineffectively established boundaries. Some of these conflicts have led to the severing of diplomatic relations between states but have escaped general public notice. Others, more extreme in nature, have produced newspaper headlines, particularly if they resulted in armed clashes between the competing claimants. In modern terms most international boundaries are finite lines delimited by treaty, located on accompanying large scale maps and demarcated on the ground. Along these boundaries the effective sovereign ty of one state is separated from that of another state. Times are long past, in most …

South Acirema, Hjalmar B. Froiland
South Acirema, Hjalmar B. Froiland
The Geographical Bulletin
INTRODUCTION The continent of South Acirema is a fictitious region made by turning a familiar continent north to south in order to provide the student with a familiar land mass which has been changed. In this new context, students should be able to illustrate their understanding of the concepts which develop the world wide phenomena of climate, site location and transportation. The changed continent challenges the student to go beyond his knowledge of the real world. This exercise is developed for mature students who are concluding their studies of geography and a basic understanding of geographic concepts is therefore assumed. …
Response Error And Reality In Geographic Investigation, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
Response Error And Reality In Geographic Investigation, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The effect of response and nonresponse errors on the results of research is more dangerous and distroting of reality than the sampling error, since the exact amount of error in resronse nonresponse errors cannot be determined. Therefore, it is very essential that an adequate concern be given to response nonresponse errors in geographic investigation. The fundamentality of such concern should be emphasized at a stage of geographic research where a growing interest among geographers is geared toward the behavioral aspects of spatial phenomena. Such behavioral characteristics are emphasized in many recent studies such as that of Cox and Golledge,' Olsson …
Electricity, How An Energy Form Implements Geographic Change, Harold E. Murray
Electricity, How An Energy Form Implements Geographic Change, Harold E. Murray
The Geographical Bulletin
Agriculture is the greatest energy consuming industry of modern society. In this entire nation factories consume only half as much energy as do farms. Thus the farmer constantly searches for a cheaper form of power. Through the years he has utilized the wind, animals, water power, gas motors, and the human back. Since 1935 he has learned to use the almost miracle power of electricity-cheaper-more efficiently applied-more pliable than energy in any previously known form, the known uses total nearly five hundred-the end is nowhere in sight!' The intent here is to show, narratively and statistically, how the increase in …
The Mobile Home: A Neglected Phenomenon In Geographic Researc, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Mobile Home: A Neglected Phenomenon In Geographic Researc, A.Y Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The neglect of certain types of housing units in geographic research implies a loss of vital information concerning different aspects such as the problems of location, housing, and behavioral patterns. The characteristics of the residential units may be approximations of the characteristics of their occupants. An individual's characteristics are the determinants which exert their influence on his behavior by initiating or constraining his action. It may be argued that the occupants of different types of housing units tend to exhibit different behavioral patterns. The aim of this paper is to bring to the attention of geographers a neglected phenomenon in …
The Via Egnatia: Rome's Traverse Of A Multi-Cultural Marchland, G. Philip Curti
The Via Egnatia: Rome's Traverse Of A Multi-Cultural Marchland, G. Philip Curti
The Geographical Bulletin
During the fourth century B.C., the Athenian empire encircled the Aegean Sea, Epirus tended to be independent, and Thessaly allied to Athens. Northward limits of Athenian control on the mainland approximately the latitude of Mount Olympus, and beyond the Haliacmon was Illyria and Macedonia. One of Alexander's first tasks was to control Balkan waist from Apollonia to the Hebrus, enforcing subservience of peoples such as the Paconians, Agrianis and Thracians and using those marchlands to exclude inroads from Illyria and Tribali along the lower Danube. As a result of the first Punic War (238 B.C.), Rome acquired a foothold across …

Toward A Viable Chapter Organization, Alice T.M. Rechlin
Toward A Viable Chapter Organization, Alice T.M. Rechlin
The Geographical Bulletin
On April 24, 1972, approximately ninety students and faculty from colleges and universities across the nation convened in Kansas City for the Gamma Theta Upsilon special session, held during the Sixty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The format for the session included group discussions and reports concentrating upon the theme: "Toward a Viable Chapter Organization." The underlying purpose was to provide participants with the opportunity to pool their ideas in an effort to strengthen Gamma Theta Upsilon at the local level. Sponsors of G. T. U. chapters have long realized how difficult it is to come up …
Toward An Alumni Chapter Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Frederick A. Hirsch
Toward An Alumni Chapter Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
Gamma Theta Upsilon is embarking on another venture to increase its service to the geographic community by establishing an alumni membership which will allow initiates to maintain an active identification with Gamma Theta Upsilon after they leave an active college chapter. Hopefully it will encourage our thousands of past initiates who are still interested in Geography to resume participation in Gamma Theta Upsilon activities. The alumni chapter is envisioned as a means of supporting an initiate's lifetime interest in Geography. It will allow the national organization to provide more services to the members, such as an expanded Gamma Theta Upsi …

This issue of The Geographical Bulletin represents some new ventures for Gamma Theta Upsilon. First, is the discussion of chapter activities from the meetings in Kansas City as organized by Dr. Alice Rechlin. It is a fine article which hopefully can be the springboard for "viable chapters." The venture lies in good chapter communications. The second is an article by Dr. Fred Hirsch who has been appointed by the GTU Executive Committee to establish an "alumni chapter" which can bring past members of GTU back into activity with the Society. We should all give wholehearted support to this venture. The …

Spatial Ordering In Social Area Typology, Larry B. Bubacz
Spatial Ordering In Social Area Typology, Larry B. Bubacz
The Geographical Bulletin
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide tentative evaluation of the general applicability of two statistics, the weighted mean areal center and standard distance, to the question of spatial ordering in social area analysis. More specifically, does the use of these statistics identify whether social phenomena tends to conform to either a concentric (doughnut) ring or a sector (pie-shaped) pattern? The weighted mean areal center is defined as the "balancing point" or "center of gravity" for a population distributed in twodimensions (x-y coordinates) which is comparable to the arithmetic mean of the conventional linear frequency distribution.' The descriptive …
Spatial Variations In Women's Share Of The Manufacturing Labor Force In Tennessee: A Statistical Analysis, Ted Klimasewski
Spatial Variations In Women's Share Of The Manufacturing Labor Force In Tennessee: A Statistical Analysis, Ted Klimasewski
The Geographical Bulletin
A neglected facet of the geographic literature is the role of women employed in the labor force. Women make up a significant share of the labor force, and comprise approximately a third of the manufacturing employment in the United States during 1970. But the relative magnitude of female employment in manufacturing varies throughout the United States, and in some areas of the South, women make up more than half of the manufacturing employment. The purpose of this study is to introduce the manufactural aspect of women's role in the labor force by (1) examining the spatial variation in women's share …
The American State Capital, A Twentieth Century Growth Pole, Frederick A. Hirsch
The American State Capital, A Twentieth Century Growth Pole, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
A fall-out of our avoidance of " capes and bays" geography has been a " benign neglect" of political capitals. In addition to the mental block arising from past tedious memorizations of their existence has been a second factor of sparseness of cases. The United States with fifty state capitals has more than the number of capitals in most of the other federally organized sovereignties. The scientifically oriented among academic geographers have preferred to analyze phenomena in greater abundance such as central places or stream beds.
Systems Approach In Physical Geography, Hubert B. Stroud
Systems Approach In Physical Geography, Hubert B. Stroud
The Geographical Bulletin
The concept of a system is not new and the emergence of systems analysis in academia has caused controversy over the significance of this approach as a viable means of scientific analysis. Some geography scholars feel that the use of systems analysis would definitely put us on the research frontier,1 while others view the term " systems" as nothing more than jargon. Nevertheless, the simplest definition for system is " a set of interrelated elements." The demand for the systems approach arose because scholars in a number of disciplines recognized in their own research that individual components of a problem …
Utilization Of Plat Books For Determination Of The Rural-Urban Fringe, Douglas J. Kocher
Utilization Of Plat Books For Determination Of The Rural-Urban Fringe, Douglas J. Kocher
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper has as its purpose the identification of the Valparaiso, Indiana rural-urban fringe' through an analysis of property boundary changes as evidence in county plat books. It is designed to test two hypotheses dealing with the nature of Valparaiso expansion and subdivision of land : one, greater urban expansion of Valparaiso will tend to be linear in nature and in the direction of major industrial areas and population centers; and two, the subdivision of land will show a marked increase with time as the urban area expands.
