Review Of Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works By Leslie A. Duram, Edward (Ted) Carey
Review Of Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works By Leslie A. Duram, Edward (Ted) Carey
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
As an extension vegetable specialist with a strong interest in organic farming and in assisting farmers to make a living, I relished this book. Leslie Duram is a geographer at Southern Illinois University Carbondale who has her roots in Kansas and is motivated by a love for Plains agriculture. The book, which she describes as a piece of advocacy scholarship, is at once scholarly, informative, and entertaining. In six well-organized chapters Duram provides an overview of organic farming within the context of overall U.S. agriculture and society (with our growing demand for organic food), reviews research describing organic farms and …
Book Review Of Portraits Of The Bison: An Illustrated Guide To Bison Society By Wes Olson, Greg Wilson
Book Review Of Portraits Of The Bison: An Illustrated Guide To Bison Society By Wes Olson, Greg Wilson
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Thundering herds of bison have become synonymous with the pre-European colonization of the Great Plains. As such, they have captured the imagination of countless people, including Wes Olson, a 20-year warden for Parks Canada. Throughout Portraits of the Bison, based on both existing literature and the author's extensive experience observing and managing these animals, Olson's bison fascination is not only obvious but infectious. A remarkably talented artist as well, Olson's line drawings appear throughout the book, accompanied by Johane Janelle's photographs.
Book Review Of In The Company Of Crows And Ravens By John M. Marzluff And Tony Angell, Paul A. Johnsgard
Book Review Of In The Company Of Crows And Ravens By John M. Marzluff And Tony Angell, Paul A. Johnsgard
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This is an aptly titled book that deals in a fascinating manner with the biological and cultural intersections that have occurred between humans and the crow-like birds (Corvus spp.) throughout history. Today, even city dwellers are likely to have had some contacts with crows, as these crafty birds have increasingly been able to adapt to the complex world of city life in recent decades. As a youngster I knew crows only as highly elusive countryside birds, and I was constantly frustrated in my attempts to stalk them with my .22 rifle and collect a 25-cent bounty. Later, while doing …
Book Review Of Birds Of The Great Plains By Bob Jennings, Ted T. Cable, And Roger Burrows, David L. Swanson
Book Review Of Birds Of The Great Plains By Bob Jennings, Ted T. Cable, And Roger Burrows, David L. Swanson
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Though intended as a field guide to the birds of the Great Plains, this book seems to serve best as a general introduction to Great Plains birds and will mostly benefit those casually interested in birds. The definition of Great Plains the book uses is rather broad, and some species are included that, in my opinion, aren't really birds of the Great Plains. For example, several warblers are included as breeding species although they nest within the book's definition of the region only in the conifer or mixed forest of north-central to northwestern Minnesota, which isn't really a part of …
Book Review Of Entomology At The Land Grant University: Perspectives From The Texas A&M; University Department Centenary Edited By Kevin M. Heinz, Raymond Frisbie, And Carlos Bogran, Richard Berberet
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This book offers the texts of twenty-four presentations given in a series of mini symposia organized to commemorate the centennial of Texas A&M's Department of Entomology. Although not stated explicitly by the editors, the central theme for these symposia seems to be the contributions of the discipline of entomology to modern society. The presentations cover a wide range of topics dealing with the importance of insects in both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems; insects as models for scientific research; challenges associated with effective management of those species that are pests in systems designed for food and fiber production; and the …
Book Review Of A Dazzle Of Dragonflies By Forrest L. Mitchell And James L. Lasswell, Rob Cannings
Book Review Of A Dazzle Of Dragonflies By Forrest L. Mitchell And James L. Lasswell, Rob Cannings
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Dragonflies are beautiful animals, important predators in and around aquatic environments, and often good indicators of ecosystem health. Stimulated by digital photography, close-focusing binoculars, and many new regional field guides, the study of dragonflies has exploded in the last ten years. Most importantly, the Internet has connected beginners with experts; observers from everywhere now share their experiences. Here is a book that puts it all on paper.
Book Review Of A Dictionary Of Common Wildflowers Of Texas And The Southern Great Plains By Joel E. Holloway, George M. Diggs, Jr.
Book Review Of A Dictionary Of Common Wildflowers Of Texas And The Southern Great Plains By Joel E. Holloway, George M. Diggs, Jr.
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The entries in this wildflower dictionary of the names of plants of Texas and the Southern Plains are arranged in alphabetical order according to scientific name. An index of common names allows one to find a plant's entry easily if only the common name is known. Derivations of scientific names, including both generic names and specific epithets, are provided. Typically the scientific binomial is translated from its Latinized form, the original language(s) of the root words is given, and the derivation is explained. Likewise, there are explanations for the origins of common names.
Review Of The Elemental Prairie: Sixty Tallgrass Plants (Watercolors And Introduction) By George Olson, Misty Hays
Review Of The Elemental Prairie: Sixty Tallgrass Plants (Watercolors And Introduction) By George Olson, Misty Hays
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The Elemental Prairie provides a general discussion of the Great Plains and the tallgrass prairie for the general reader. Its botanically accurate plant drawings render a beautiful and artistic view into prairie plants.
George Olson writes a compelling introduction about "Prairie Elements," painting a graphic verbal description about his trip into the prairie with noted prairie author John Madson. The introduction draws readers into the book and prepares them for John Madson's essay "The Running Country," an eloquent portrayal of the history of the tallgrass prairie. We are led into the hearts and minds of the pioneers who crossed the …
Book Review Of Determining The Economic Value Of Water: Concepts And Methods By Robert A. Youngbook Review Of Determining The Economic Value Of Water: Concepts And Methods By Robert A. Young, David W. Yoskowitz
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Water has been and will continue to be a contentious issue for policy makers, landowners, municipalities, environmentalists, and citizens who feels they have an undeniable right to clean water delivered to their homes (at least in the United States). With so many groups coming into conflict over what, at least in the West and the Great Plains, continues to be a diminishing resource per capita, an understanding of the economic value of this resource is critical. It is important to note, as Robert Young does throughout his book, that the true economic value of water goes beyond what we pay …
Book Review Of The Limits Of Participation: Members And Leaders In Canada's Reform Party By Faron Ellis, David J. Hall
Book Review Of The Limits Of Participation: Members And Leaders In Canada's Reform Party By Faron Ellis, David J. Hall
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The Reform Party began as a populist party of regional protest in western Canada in 1987. Its policies were mostly on the right of the political spectrum, and from the early 1990s it developed ambitions to become a national party. In 2000 it amalgamated with some Progressive Conservatives (PC) to form the Canadian Alliance (CA), and in 2003 the CA and a rump of the PC Party united to form the Conservative Party of Canada; in January 2006 the Conservatives won a minority government. Although Faron Ellis's book was completed too early to include much about the denouement of this …
Book Review Of New Destinations: Mexican Immigration In The United States Edited By Victor Zuniga And Ruben Hernandez Leon, David M. Heer
Book Review Of New Destinations: Mexican Immigration In The United States Edited By Victor Zuniga And Ruben Hernandez Leon, David M. Heer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
A noteworthy feature of Mexican immigration to the United States during the decade from 1990 to 2000 was a significant change in destinations. Traditional receiving states gained a much smaller proportion of all Mexican immigrants while numbers in various Southern and Midwestern states soared. The percentage of all recent Mexican immigrants in California in 1990, for example, was 62.9 % percent, and only 35.4% in 2000. On the other hand, the percentage of all recent Mexican immigrants in North Carolina in 1990 was 0.3% as compared with 4.0% in 2000.
Book Review Of Laud Humphreys: Prophet Of Homosexuality And Sociology By John F. Galliher, Wayne H. Brekhus, And David P. Keys, Stephen Valocchi
Book Review Of Laud Humphreys: Prophet Of Homosexuality And Sociology By John F. Galliher, Wayne H. Brekhus, And David P. Keys, Stephen Valocchi
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
As an undergraduate sociology major, the only thing I learned about Oklahoman Laud Humphreys's classic, Tearoom Trade (1970) was how it violated standards of informed consent in social science research. As Galliher, Brekhus, and Keys recount in their biography, Laud Humphreys: Prophet of Homosexuality and Sociology, sociology graduate student Laud Humphreys needed to supplement his (quite likely, participant) observational research of men who had sex in public bathrooms (i.e., tearooms) in St. Louis in the mid-1960s with a formal questionnaire. Knowing that these men would never agree if they knew they were selected because of their participation in highly …
Book Review Of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken?": Aboriginal Communities, Restorative Justice, And The Challenges Of Conflict And Change By Jane Dickson-Gilmore And Carol La Prairie, Tim Quigley
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Over the past decade or two, restorative justice has become a popular approach for the criminal justice system to take in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. In part, this is due in all three countries to an appalling disproportionality in the incarceration rates for racialized minorities. As the authors of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" point out, however, governments have been attracted to restorative justice for cost-cutting reasons as well. A burning question, therefore, is whether restorative justice works.
Book Review Of Improved Earth: Prairie Space As Modern Artefact, 1869-1944 By Rod Bantjes, Arn Keeling
Book Review Of Improved Earth: Prairie Space As Modern Artefact, 1869-1944 By Rod Bantjes, Arn Keeling
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In this short but suggestive study, sociologist Rod Bantjes examines how contending visions of modernity shaped the social and physical landscapes of the Canadian prairies. "[B]oth statesmen and prairie farmers were infused with the modernist spirit of innovation, the will creatively (and destructively) to transform their worlds," Bantjes argues. His provocative view of farmers as agents of modernity reflects recent scholarship that seeks to explore "multiple modernities," or the notion that ideas and practices of modernism must be regarded not as monolithic but rather as contested and multivocal, and must be examined in their historical and geographical contexts.
Review Of Prairie Dog Empire: A Saga Of The Shortgrass Prairie By Paul A. Johnsgard, Richard Reading
Review Of Prairie Dog Empire: A Saga Of The Shortgrass Prairie By Paul A. Johnsgard, Richard Reading
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Prairie Dog Empire provides a semitechnical overview on what some ecologists refer to as the Prairie Dog Ecosystem, focused on black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) and their associated vertebrate species. Given the controversy surrounding management of prairie dogs, it is surprising that such a volume has not been published previously. Leave it to that prolific guru of the Great Plains, Paul Johnsgard, to pen a book directed at filling that void at such a crucial juncture.
Review Of On Ancient Wings: The Sandhill Cranes Of North America By Michael Forsberg, Dale Hjertaas
Review Of On Ancient Wings: The Sandhill Cranes Of North America By Michael Forsberg, Dale Hjertaas
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Michael Forsberg is a gifted photographer. I opened this book for a quick look, saw the first photograph, a stunning full-page photo of a dancing Sandhill crane leaping for the sky, and did not put the book down until I had looked at everyone of its 154 photographs. Particularly beautiful is a two-page photograph silhouetting a dozen Sandhill cranes against a golden sky, their legs extended, preparing to land at a roost along the Platte. Through the photographs Forsberg shows us the places where cranes live and gives us a look into their lives, capturing copulation, hatching, chick rearing, feeding, …
A Delicate Balance: Rainfall And Groundwater In Nebraska During The 2000-2005 Drought, Mark Burbach, R. Matthew Joeckel
A Delicate Balance: Rainfall And Groundwater In Nebraska During The 2000-2005 Drought, Mark Burbach, R. Matthew Joeckel
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Recent decreases in rainfall and the accompanying decreases in groundwater levels since 1999 indicate heightened vulnerability to drought in Nebraska and the surrounding Great Plains. Precipitation across Nebraska during 2000-2005 ranged from 72% to 108% of the 30-year normal value, with fully 90% of 150 stations reporting below-normal precipitation. Simultaneously, groundwater levels declined more than 9 m in the most heavily impacted areas, most of which were already experiencing declines due to extensive irrigation development and low recharge rates. Thus, recovery from the drought and long-term intensive land use will be particularly challenging in densely irrigated areas of Nebraska. In …
Hydrological Effects And Groundwater Fluctuations In Interdunal Environments In The Nebraska Sandhills, David Gosselin, Venkataramana Sridhar, F. Edwin Harvey, James Goeke
Hydrological Effects And Groundwater Fluctuations In Interdunal Environments In The Nebraska Sandhills, David Gosselin, Venkataramana Sridhar, F. Edwin Harvey, James Goeke
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Nine years of groundwater monitoring data has documented the important influence that topographic relief and location in the groundwater flow system have on the hydrologic function of interdunal valleys. The western "wet" valley at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory in central Nebraska, which is a net discharge area, is more strongly buffered from the effects of annual-scale climatic variability than the eastern "dry" valley. The east valley is generally an area of net recharge and as such is more responsive to climatic variability. This study employed a simple water balance approach to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) from water level measurements in the …
Ecophysiolgoical Responses Of Schizachyrium Scoparium To Water And Nitrogen Manipulations, Amy Kochsiek, Veronica Ciganda, Neal Bryan, Lena Hite, Tala Awada
Ecophysiolgoical Responses Of Schizachyrium Scoparium To Water And Nitrogen Manipulations, Amy Kochsiek, Veronica Ciganda, Neal Bryan, Lena Hite, Tala Awada
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Nitrogen is increasing in terrestrial ecosystems as a result of agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels. This increase is expected to be accompanied by changes in water availability due to global warming. We examined the effects of nitrogen and water manipulations on Schizachyrium scoparium, one of the dominant grasses in the Great Plains. Schizachyrium scoparium responded positively to watering, with an increase in photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, water and nitrogen use efficiencies, and water potential. Under watered conditions, fertilization had no significant effect on measured parameters, except for nitrogen-use efficiency. Significant differences appeared between fertilized and nonfertilized plants …
Underlying Causes And Implications Of Nebraska Retail Trade Patterns, Rex Nelson, Bruce Johnson, David Darling
Underlying Causes And Implications Of Nebraska Retail Trade Patterns, Rex Nelson, Bruce Johnson, David Darling
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Declining retail trade in rural America is a concern for rural residents, their leaders, and rural development professionals. This cross-sectional study presents a framework for understanding relationships between changes in retail trade and rural population declines. The study uses county trade pull factors as a benchmark for retail trade in Nebraska and develops a theoretical and a statistical model to explain changes in this measure. The model suggests that retail trade in a given county is a function of the customer base, the buying power of those customers, and the quality of the retail environment.
Bison And The Food Distribution Program On Indian Reservations, David Lulka
Bison And The Food Distribution Program On Indian Reservations, David Lulka
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In recent years, bison products have been incorporated into the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). This paper examines the factors leading up to this particular development and the structural problems that have yet to be resolved within the program. Altogether, the findings illustrate that cultural traditions, health problems, and economic concerns instigated the federal government to embark upon this new policy. Unfortunately, while the program has responded to tribal demands in certain respects, it has not resolved underlying structural inequalities between tribal and nontribal communities. In particular, the FDPIR does not acknowledge the problematic nature of production-consumption networks …
Reducing Smooth Sumac Dominance In Native Tallgrass Prairie, Susan Tunnell, James L. Stubbendieck, Sal Palazzolo, Robert Masters
Reducing Smooth Sumac Dominance In Native Tallgrass Prairie, Susan Tunnell, James L. Stubbendieck, Sal Palazzolo, Robert Masters
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra L.) is a resprouting shrub native to the tallgrass prairie region that increases in density without an active disturbance regime. Our objective was to use prescribed fire and herbicides to decrease smooth sumac density as a strategy to improve a degraded tall grass prairie remnant. In two separate experiments repeated in space and time, we used prescribed fire in combination with herbicides at various rates and two application methods to develop an effective management scheme for reducing smooth sumac. We used a randomized complete block design with 13 herbicide treatments and a control with three …
Precipitation And Fire Effects On Flowering Of A Rare Prairie Orchid, Gary Willson, Manda Page, F. Adnan Akyuz
Precipitation And Fire Effects On Flowering Of A Rare Prairie Orchid, Gary Willson, Manda Page, F. Adnan Akyuz
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
A small, isolated population of the threatened western prairie fringed orchid (Platanthera praeclara Sheviak & Bowles) occurs at Pipestone National Monument, Minnesota, in a mesic prairie that is periodically burned to control invasive cool-season grasses. During 1995-2004, monitoring counts of flowering orchids in the monument varied considerably for different years. Similar precipitation amounts in the spring and histories of burning suggest that fire and precipitation in the spring were not the causes of the variation. For the eight non-burn years in the monitoring record, we compared the number of flowering plants and the precipitation amounts during six growth stages …

Front and back matter from the spring 2006 issue (volume 16, issue 1) of the scholarly journal Great Plains Research.
Demand Estimation For Agricultural Processing Coproducts, Cheryl Wachenheim, Patrick Novack, Eric Devuyst, David Lambert
Demand Estimation For Agricultural Processing Coproducts, Cheryl Wachenheim, Patrick Novack, Eric Devuyst, David Lambert
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Coproducts of processing agricultural commodities are often marketed for use as livestock feed through private transaction. The resulting lack of historical price information prohibits the use of positive time series techniques to estimate demand. Linear programming is used as a normative technique to estimate step function demand schedules for coproducts by individual livestock classes. Seemingly unrelated regression is used to smooth demand schedules by fitting demand data to generalized Leontief cost functions. Estimates are adjusted for data censoring using probit analysis. Aggregate quantity demanded of sugarbeet pulp, wheat middlings, and potato waste is relatively responsive to price changes (i.e., demand …
Review Of The Courts And The Colonies: The Litigation Of Hutterite Church Disputes By Alvin 1. Esau, Rod Janzen
Review Of The Courts And The Colonies: The Litigation Of Hutterite Church Disputes By Alvin 1. Esau, Rod Janzen
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The Courts and the Colonies is an informative discussion of the impact of legal issues on communal Hutterites during the past half-century. It is a valuable addition to Hutterite studies specifically, providing significant social analysis alongside a detailed discussion of legal matters. More generally the book has important things to say about the legal status of all communal religious societies in North America and the unanticipated problems that can emerge when these groups call upon the power of the state to support internal policies and procedures. The book is especially relevant to studies of the Great Plains, since there are …
Review Of Red Pedagogy: Native American Social And Political Thought By Sandy Grande, Steven Crum
Review Of Red Pedagogy: Native American Social And Political Thought By Sandy Grande, Steven Crum
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In this intriguing book, written by an indigenous Quechua scholar whose ancestors come from Peru, Sandy Grande introduces a new term which she labels "Red Pedagogy." The term has more than one facet.
One element of Red Pedagogy is its insistence that Native Americans in general, including indigenous scholars, and non-Natives need to critique, challenge, and even reject dominant modes of thought that have been applied to indigenous populations for years. Grande provides sol id evidence that some Native scholars are currently challenging older paradigms. For example, Taiaiake Alfred, a Mohawk political scientist, questions the modern-day usage and practice of …
Review Of Troubled Fields: Men, Emotions, And The Crisis In American Farming By Eric Ramirez-Ferrero, Charles Nuckolls
Review Of Troubled Fields: Men, Emotions, And The Crisis In American Farming By Eric Ramirez-Ferrero, Charles Nuckolls
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Is the family farm an anachronism, to be replaced, sooner or later, by larger and more efficient industrial modes of agriculture? This question achieved special prominence during the "farm crisis" in the 1980s, when thousands of farmers lost their land to foreclosure. Since then the issue has largely been forgotten, except in northwestern Oklahoma, the site of Troubled Fields, where the decline of family farming can be measured in continuing population loss, the breakdown of families, and increased risk of suicide.
Grazing And Military Vehicle Effects On Grassland Soils And Vegetation, John A. Guretzky, Alan Anderson, Jeffrey Fehmi
Grazing And Military Vehicle Effects On Grassland Soils And Vegetation, John A. Guretzky, Alan Anderson, Jeffrey Fehmi
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Vehicle training, a common disturbance of military lands, is part of a suite of land uses that also includes cattle grazing. Yet, no studies have examined their interaction. Our objective was to review the effects of vehicle training and grazing on grassland soils and vegetation and develop a state-and-transition model that incorporates grazing and training for Fort Hood, TX. Both grazing and training can cause soil compaction and vegetation disturbance, altering hydrology and increasing erosion. While the effects of grazing largely depend on stocking rate, vehicle training causes greater disturbance when wet soils are driven on, when vehicles are turned …
Review Of One House: The Unicameral's Progressive Vision For Nebraska By Charlyne Berens, James Johnson
Review Of One House: The Unicameral's Progressive Vision For Nebraska By Charlyne Berens, James Johnson
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This is a book that needed to be written-a valuable, though flawed, addition to the literature on Nebraska's unique legislative body. It is the first addition to research on the Nebraska Legislature in some time and presents a new approach to the subject: has the Unicameral lived up to the promises of its founders? The answer is, by and large, yes.
