Bisher sind 55 Thysanopteren-Arten von der Mongolei bekannt. 27 Arten stimmen in der DDR und der MVR überein. Im Vergleich zu westeuropäischen Populationen bereiten die mongolischen Populationen von Thrips major und Franklilliella illtonsa Schwierigkeiten in der Festlegung, ob es sich um Rassen oder Clines handelt.

Hohes Lebensalter Von Salpingotus Crassicauda Und Erfolgreiche Fortpflanzung Von Cardioeranius Paradoxus (Mammalia: Dipodidae) In Der Gefangenschaft, Michael Stubbe, Annegret Stubbe, Ravčigijn Samjaa

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298

Noch immer gelten zahlreiche Arten der zentralasiatischen Säugetierfauna als kaum bis wenig erforscht. Fundierte ökologische Untersuchungen an den mongolischen Springmausarten liegen bisher nicht vor. Sowohl Salpingotus crassicauda als auch Cardiocranius paradoxus sind durch ihre begrenzten Vorkommen in Kasachstan bzw. Tuva sogar im Rotbuch der Sowjetunion (1985, Literatur S. dort) verankert.

Ökologisches Monitoring Der Seen Der Mvr, A. Dulmaa

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298

Die Fischwirtschaft ist ein spezifischer Zweig in der Volkswirtschaft der MVR. Die Organisation der Fischwirtschaft erfordert eine wissenschaftliche Ausarbeitung seiner biologischen, technischen, technologischen und ökonomischen Grundlagen. Im Ergebnis hydrobiologischer Untersuchungen wurden bisher 600 verschiedene Benthos- und 208 Planktonorganismen gefunden, von denen mehr als 40 Arten bisher für die Wissenschaft unbekannt waren. Die Hydroflora erwies sich mit 196 Algenarten und mit ungefähr 50 Makrophyten als eigenständig. 75 Fischarten konnten nachgewiesen werden. Es wurde eine Klassifikation der Seen entsprechend ihrer Genese und ihrer biologischen und fischereiwirtschaftlichen Eigenschaften ausgearbeitet. Auf der Grundlage von ökologischen Untersuchungen der Limnofauna erfolgte eine biologische Begründung für eine …

Irrigating With Windmills On The Great Plains, T. Lindsay Baker

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In his 1895 graduation thesis from the state agricultural college at Manhattan, Kansas, Fred E. Rader declared of the windmill, "Without, we must emigrate; with it, we can irrigate."¹ Rader summarized the feelings of many farmers in the Arkansas and Platte valleys and elsewhere across the Great Plains in the mid-1890s. He wrote in the heyday of windmill irrigation in the area, when machines employing the free power of the wind to pump water from the ground were seen as the salvation of the region.

Review Of Ole Edvart Rölvaag, Rodney P. Rice

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This welcome addition to the Western Writers Series differs from other studies on Rolvaag because it attempts to place him within the broader context of American literature rather than strictly within ethnic or geographic boundaries. Moseley argues that Rölvaag, like many American authors before him, successfully combines elements of realism, naturalism, and myth not only to reveal the inherent contradictions in the frontier experience but also to examine universal themes such as the conflict between Old World tradition and New World individuality. The result is a convincing, perceptive, and reliable introduction to Rolvaag's fiction, useful to all students of American …

Joint Venture Or Testy Alliance?: The Public Works Of Art Project In Minnesota, 1933-34, Thomas O'Sullivan

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Like many American painters of his generation, Syd Fossum left art school under the cloud of the Great Depression. The economic uncertainties of the 1930s only added to the dubious support a young painter in the Midwest might expect. But an unimagined opportunity launched Fossum and many others into unparalleled productivity as artists and self-respect as involved members of the art community and American society. Fossum's own reminiscences suggest the excitement of the moment. He recalled that in December 1933 he received a letter assigning him to the newly formed Public Works of Art Project (PWAP).

The Wonderful Wizard Of The West: L.Frank Baum In South Dakota, 1888-91, Nancy Tystad Koupal

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

On 25 January 1890, L. Frank Baum took over the editor's chair of a weekly newspaper in northeastern South Dakota. Stricken with "western fever," the thirty-four-year-old Baum had emigrated from Syracuse, New York, more than a year earlier "to throw [his] fortunes in with the town" of Aberdeen, a promising railroad hub in what was then Dakota Territory. His first frontier enterprise, a variety store modeled on "The Fair" in Chicago, was too ambitious for the time and place, but Baum retained his faith in the West and turned to a career more suited to his talents and training. In …

Ethnic Women Homesteading On The Plains Of North Dakota, H. Elaine Lindgren

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Women as well as men took advantage of government land policies that encouraged settlement on the Great Plains. Researchers have replaced earlier stereotypes that emphasized the reluctance of women to participate in the settlement process by more dynamic and realistic conceptualizations that portray women as courageous, enthusiastic, and adventuresome. ¹

The Daughters Of Shiphrah: Folk Healers And Midwives Of The Great Plains, Timothy J. Kloberdanz

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Prairie folk healers and midwives seldom have been the focus of scholarly investigation, despite the crucial role they played in the settlement of countless Euro-American communities in the Great Plains. These individuals, a majority of whom were women, brought with them to the American and Canadian grasslands a wealth of folk medical knowledge and a variety of health-oriented, traditional skills.

Review Of The World Of The Crow Indians: As Driftwood Lodges, C. Adrian Heidenreich

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In this relatively short book, Frey seeks to describe the world view of the Crow (Apsaalooke) Indians of Montana. He places his description within the sociocultural context of the contemporary reservation and uses two key metaphors drawn from the Crow people, first, shifting bundles of driftwood that lodge and cling together in a turbulent river, and second a "medicine" or wagon wheel where the hub and the circumference are connected by distinct spokes. The Crow world is interpreted as one in which everything-human, animal, plant, land, and spirit-is interconnected, and the metaphors provide "symbolism of diversity and unity, receptivity and …

Review Of Among The Sioux Of Dakota: Eighteen Months' Experience As An Indian Agent, 1869-70, Elizabeth S. Grobsmith

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This brief narrative was written by DeWitt Clinton Poole, Indian agent at the Whetstone Agency in Dakota Territory from 1869 to 1870. In a rather extensive introduction, Raymond DeMallie describes the establishment of the Agency and the difficulties Poole encountered there and admonishes the reader about Poole's paternalistic and racist view of Indian life. DeMallie reports: "Among the Sioux of Dakota is not a memorable book for its insight into American Indian culture . . . Poole failed to achieve any understanding of Sioux religion, admitting that he could see in it only 'selfishness and vindictiveness'" (lii). But DeMallie rightfully …

Review Of The Blackfoot Confederacy, 1880-1920: A Comparative Study Of Canadian And U. S. Indian Policy, Calvin Luther Martin

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

"God"-read the brass buttons on the Indian police uniforms, "God helps those who help themselves" (p. 61). The picture stamped on the button showed what was intended to be an Indian farmer diligently turning the earth "wrong side up" (p. 57) behind a horse-drawn plow. Thrift, hard work, individualism, promise of a better life, the great American myth of the yeoman farmer-that little clasp packed a lot of message. Samek's book details how both Canadian and American bureaucrats, humanitarians philanthropists, and missionaries tried mightily to instill that very message in the hearts and minds of their Blackfoot Indian wards at …

Arts Institutions On The Great Plains: An Inroduction, Norman A. Geske

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

T he papers in this issue of Great Plains Quarterly were presented at the symposium "The Arts on the Plains: The Role of Institutions," held 16-18 March 1988. The Nebraska Art Association, celebrating its one hundredth anniversary, collaborated in hosting the conference. The conference focused the Association's review of its own scope and impact by establishing a context of comparable efforts by other organizations, institutions, and individuals in the Great Plains and adjacent states. The six papers that follow illustrate the breadth of that comparison.

Review Of Indian Education In Canada: Volume 2: The Challenge, Dana F. Lawrence

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This twelve-essay volume follows Volume 1: The Legacy. Together they offer a comprehensive history of Indian education in Canada as well as a survey of current issues and future directions. Volume 2 has nine Indian/Metis authors, reflecting the move toward self-determination not only in Canada but in indigenous populations the world over. In Canada the movement has rallied around the phrase "Indian Control of Indian Education" and Volume 2: The Challenge addresses this topic.

Review Of Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden: Agriculture Of The Hidatsa Indians And Indian Agriculture In America, Paul A. Olson

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The study of Native American agriculture has been revived recently by Gary Nabhan's Gathering the Desert, which concerns Southwestern Indian agriculture. The two books reviewed here deal more with plains agriculture. Wilson's book is an account of Hidatsa gardening practice in the nineteenth century as told to Wilson by Buffalo Bird Woman, a lady who continued to practice traditional ways long after most Hidatsa had adopted Western agriculture; the book gives a picture of traditional Hidatsa practices regarding com, sunflowers, squash, beans, tobacco, the tools used to grow them, their storage, their field culture, and the like. Hurt's book, …

Review Of Puuing Leather: Being The Early Recollections Of A Cowboy On The Wyoming Range, 1884-1889, Lynn M. Cawthra

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In the early 1930s, dentist-physician Reuben Mullins decided to chronicle his youthful experiences as a cowpuncher on the Wyoming range. He was unable to secure a publisher for this work, however, and after his death in 1935, the manuscript was filed away for more than fifty years. Scholars Jan Roush and Lawrence Clayton discovered Mullins's narrative in 1986 and recognized its importance as a historical document. Their editorial support and Mullins's own articulate and entertaining style have assured Pulling Leather a place alongside such standard accounts of cowboy life as Adams's Log of a Cowboy and Siringo's A Texas Cowboy …

State Humanities Councils And Cultural Institutions On The Great Plains, Sarah Z. Rosenberg

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

T his study covers the state humanities councils in the Great Plains for the four year period 1983-86. Biennial reports to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), upon which the study is based, are staggered for the convenience of NEH reviewers. As a result my data are either for 1983-84 or for 1985-86. I chose this time frame because by 1983 most state councils had been in existence for at least ten years and were past the years of experimentation and because the data available in these reports are presented consistently. I have included the ten Great Plains states-North …

Businessman, Bibliophile, And Patron: Edward E. Ayer And His Collection Of American Indian Art, Frederick E. Hoxie

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Like communities of people, museums and libraries often carry a distinct set of values into the world. Through shared values, these cultural institutions maintain a special sense of their own identity and mission. This sense of common purpose, while valuable, is not always a good thing. A belief that "this is what we stand for" can carry an institution through adversity, but it can also blind it to new opportunities or foster a distorted sense of its own history.

Review Of The Female Frontier: A Comparative View Of Women On The Prairie And The Plains., Alice Hall Petry

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

You've seen her in a hundred books, movies, and television programs: the "madonna of the prairie." But how much of the image of the frontier woman is accurate, and how much is the product of a curious alliance between Victorian ideals of womanhood and the public relations rhetoric of booster-minded Midwestern hamlets? In The Female Frontier, Glenda Riley seeks to unveil the true frontier woman of the prairies and the Great Plains; and although her book is not consistently satisfying, it does much to correct the most persistent myths of the frontier woman while pointing to areas for further …
