Perspectives On The Sloven Ian Republic Of Yugoslavia, David E. Kromm
Perspectives On The Sloven Ian Republic Of Yugoslavia, David E. Kromm
The Geographical Bulletin
I would like to explore with you the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, the northernmost province of Yugoslavia. In developing a perspective on Slovenia, I will emphasize the cultural and economic distinctiveness of the region in order to distinguish this nation from the rest of the Yugoslav state. Yugoslavia is a relatively new country in Europe, being established in 1918 following the World War I disintegration of the extensive Habsburg and Ottoman Empires. At first the young state called itself the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in recognition of the separate identities of its three major ethnic groups. Stressing …
Homicide And Suicide In Latin America And Europe: A Spatial Interpretation, Kenneth G. Thompson
Homicide And Suicide In Latin America And Europe: A Spatial Interpretation, Kenneth G. Thompson
The Geographical Bulletin
To an increasing extent geographers are becoming interested in spatial variation of crime because criminal patterns in many cases tend to mirror other social and cultural characteristics. The task of analyzing spatial distribution of crime is made formidable, however, because many times data are woefully inadequate, especially on a world basis. Thedearth of international criminal statistics is reflected in the fact that not one single world map showing criminal patterns was available for reference in this study. To be sure, data exist. But many of them cannot be used for comparative purposes because of regional differences in both definitions and …

The Geographical Bulletin
In order for Gamma Theta Upsilon I nternational Honorary Geographical Society to achieve its destiny, we must become aware of necessary changes in our Society's activities, programs and projects which spell progress and success in chapters on college campuses throughout this nation. The Administration of Gamma Theta Upsilon must begin to playa different role. It is not enough for us to meet once or twice a year and pass motions and resolutions. We must become concerned about the welfare of local chapters and the young Gamma Thetans. Our programs and interests must involve representatives from local chapters more and more. …

In this issue there are several papers of note. Dr. Pillsbury and Dr. Kromm have had their papers published which were presented at the G.T.U. sessions held in conjunction with the N.C.G.E. and A.A.G. meetings. Three other papers indicate two dimensions of activities. In two there is evidence of considerable individual scholarly work and the continuation of a time honored solitary approach to study. The other is the blending of individual efforts into a common goal-the pursuit of information about a timely topic. All are worthy efforts. Finally, President Speigner has made a call to all members of Gamma Theta …
Images Of Appalachia, Richard Pillsbury
Images Of Appalachia, Richard Pillsbury
The Geographical Bulletin
Appalachia is one of those regional names which brings instant images to almost all of us. To some the term conjures the rolling hills of the Allegheny Plateau and colored October leaves turning in the afternoon sun, to others it surfates the faces and looks of the miners standing, waiting, knowing the fate of comrades caught inside one of the many mine disasters so characteristic of the region. All of us have images like these of the places that we know and have visited lying uncatalogued in our minds to be drawn to consciousness when prodded by the people and …

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
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 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 …

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 …

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
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 …
