Hydrology And Texas Water Law: ...A Logician’S Nightmare, Otis W. Templer Feb 1992

Hydrology And Texas Water Law: ...A Logician’S Nightmare, Otis W. Templer

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Scientists generally consider all water as merely passing through, but in different phases of, the endless hydrologic cycle. In contrast, the law divides water in the hydrologic cycle into several different classes based on real or supposed physical differences between classes. Legal classes of water are treated separately, usually without consideration of the many interconnections existing between phases of the cycle, and different rules of law have developed concerning the ownership and use of each legal class. Texas courts, like those of other Great Plains jurisdictions, have applied this fragmented classification system, recognizing diverse public and private rights to each …

Review Of "Twenty-Eighth Annual Alberta Soil Science Workshop Proceedings" By David T. Lewis, David T. Lewis Feb 1992

Review Of "Twenty-Eighth Annual Alberta Soil Science Workshop Proceedings" By David T. Lewis, David T. Lewis

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This volume compiles the papers of a workshop that had several foci: the philosophies of soil conservation, the sweeping generalizations from LANDSAT data and their use in GIS, and the infinite detail of classification and genesis of soils, quantification of soil productivity, and techniques for the injection of nitrogen into the soil. The theme of this particular workshop was "Sustainable Agriculture-A Soil Science Perspective." Canadian agricultural scientists, as their U.S. counterparts, appear to have latched onto the buzz word "sustainable." Neither group seems to be able to define clearly what the phrase means. Fortunately for the reader, there is no …

Review Of "American Indianwaterrights And The Limits Oflaw" By Lloyd Burton, Richard B. Collins Feb 1992

Review Of "American Indianwaterrights And The Limits Oflaw" By Lloyd Burton, Richard B. Collins

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Professor Burton's work focuses on legal recognition and enforcement of Indian tribal water rights. He explains the uncertainty of tribal rights and the difficulties of perfecting rights in court. Lawsuits encounter jurisdictional disputes between state and federal courts, huge litigation costs, technical problems with engineering and hydrologic data, years of delay, and, in his view, hostile Republican judges on the federal bench. Given the difficulties with lawsuits, he examines in some detail tribes' efforts to pursue negotiations and legislation as alternatives to litigation. He is quite critical of the alternatives and concludes that litigation is still the best choice for …

Review Of "Reptiles And Amphibians Of The Cimarron National Grasslands Morton" By Joseph T. Collins And Suzanne L. Collins, Royce E. Ballinger Feb 1992

Review Of "Reptiles And Amphibians Of The Cimarron National Grasslands Morton" By Joseph T. Collins And Suzanne L. Collins, Royce E. Ballinger

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This small book (pamphlet) provides information about the amphibians and reptiles for the general reader or casual visitor to the Cimarron National Grasslands in southwestern Kansas. Some of the information derives from a brief field trip by the authors in 1987 or from museum specimens and technical literature, but most of the information is not new. Much of the material (some verbatim) comes from J. T. Collins' previous semipopular books on Kansas herpetiles.

After a short introduction and a brief discussion of the history of herp collections in the county there is a checklist of the 31 species, a note …

Review Of "Free Trade On The Prairies: The Implications Of Canada-U.S. Trade Pact For The Three Prairie Provinces" By Steve Dorey, Bashir Qasmi Feb 1992

Review Of "Free Trade On The Prairies: The Implications Of Canada-U.S. Trade Pact For The Three Prairie Provinces" By Steve Dorey, Bashir Qasmi

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This book is based on a study funded, in part, by the Canadian Department of Regional Industrial Expansion. The book provides a good insight into the Canadian positions during the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations, the concerns and expectations of key industry groups in the Prairies, and a good review of several quantitative studies that 74 estimated the impacts of bilateral trade liberalization in Canada. However, the conclusions of the book are not based on anyone particular quantitative study.

The author's basic thrust is that in recent decades, the Prairie economies have become diversified and much less dependent on eastern …

Law And Science: An Introduction, John R. Wunder Feb 1992

Law And Science: An Introduction, John R. Wunder

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Law and science have been nervous partners for decades. Legal scholarship based upon scientific method, controversial at first, is now an established genre of the literature. It is particularly prominent in criminal justice studies, but it can be found in almost any aspect of legal research.

Social scientists in criminology, political science, and economics have addressed legal issues, but they are less apt to restrict their conclusions to locality or region or subject matter. For the study of regions, historians have the edge, and some historians have adopted scientific methodologies to investigate the history of law. One of the most …

Review Of "Points In Time: Structure And Event In A Late Northern Plains Hunting Society" By Philip Duke, W. Raymond Woods Feb 1992

Review Of "Points In Time: Structure And Event In A Late Northern Plains Hunting Society" By Philip Duke, W. Raymond Woods

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

The first processual studies in archaeology began appearing-and making an impression on the field as a whole-nearly 30 years ago. These studies ushered in a revolution in American archaeology and forever changed how this field is taught and practiced. A great deal of heat was exchanged between the processualists and the traditionists as the new paradigm slowly was accepted into mainstream archaeology. Much of this heat was unfortunately expended uselessly as people spoke past one another both in person and in print. The processual school eventually won the struggle, and such studies today are themselves traditional. Efforts by a new …

Review Of "Co-Operatives And Community Development: Economics In Social Perspective” By Brett Fairbairn, June Bold, Murray Fulton, Lou Hammond Ketilson, And Daniel Ish, Sharon Lord Gaber Feb 1992

Review Of "Co-Operatives And Community Development: Economics In Social Perspective” By Brett Fairbairn, June Bold, Murray Fulton, Lou Hammond Ketilson, And Daniel Ish, Sharon Lord Gaber

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

For residents of rural towns throughout the United States and Canada, particularly in the Great Plains region, the issues of economic survival and community sustainability are paramount. Brett Fairbairn and colleagues book about cooperatives reintroduces an old strategy for community development. Their concept is that cooperatives are an "alternative kind of development"-well-suited to the needs of rural communities. The book is derived from the authors' concern for community development in Saskatchewan.

The book is divided into six chapters. Although not identified as such, the first three chapters serve to convince the reader that cooperatives are a good and viable mechanism …

Review Of "Multiple Job-Holding Among Farm Families” By M. C. Hallberg, Jill L. Findeis, And Daniel A Lass, Audie Blevins Feb 1992

Review Of "Multiple Job-Holding Among Farm Families” By M. C. Hallberg, Jill L. Findeis, And Daniel A Lass, Audie Blevins

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

An increase in the percentage of families involved in off-farm employment provided the intellectual fodder for a symposium on multiple jobholding among farm families held in May, 1988. Like other books that are the off-spring of conferences and symposia, the weaknesses of the symposium are replicated in the book unless the editors apply a heavy hand to ensure interrelatedness and quality of contributions. Unfortunately, evidence of this editorial hand is missing: the book is uneven and fails to demonstrate the interconnections between chapters. Yet, even with this caveat, there are several significant research/modeling contributions and review essays. The five sections, …

Review Of "The Wright Space: Patterns And Meaning In Frank Lloyd Wright's Houses” By Grant Hildebrand, David Seamon Feb 1992

Review Of "The Wright Space: Patterns And Meaning In Frank Lloyd Wright's Houses” By Grant Hildebrand, David Seamon

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This book by architectural historian Grant Hildebrand is a search for the special quality that makes Frank Lloyd Wright's houses so well liked, both by their owners and general public. Hildebrand calls this special quality a "pattern"-that is, a repetitive configuration of architectural elements that, although uniquely expressed in each house, is an underlying motif in all of them. Hildebrand believes that this pattern involves the spatial dialectic of inside and outside as expressed through repeated architectural parts-the entry, the fireplace, ceilings, solid and windowed walls, terraces, and openings from the house to the outside, especially immediate spaces. Hildebrand's aim …

Review Of "Crane Music: A Natural History Of American Cranes" By Paul A Johnsgard, Amy Richert Feb 1992

Review Of "Crane Music: A Natural History Of American Cranes" By Paul A Johnsgard, Amy Richert

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

A well-known author among wildlife enthusiasts, Paul Johnsgard has dedicated much of his life to the study of birds. In his lyrically written Crane Music, Johnsgard thoroughly compares and contrasts the natural history of the world's cranes with special emphasis on the two North American species, the sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) and the whooping crane (Grus americana).

This book begins with an interesting historical overview of the importance of cranes to human cultures around the world. Through the years, these exquisite long-legged birds have influenced religion, mythology, derivation of words, and important conservation efforts. Johnsgard …

Review Of "Colorado's Government: Structure, Politics, Administration And Policy” By Robert Stuart Lorch, Robert Sittig Feb 1992

Review Of "Colorado's Government: Structure, Politics, Administration And Policy” By Robert Stuart Lorch, Robert Sittig

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

For some decades a number of sponsoring agencies have sought to provide a standardized work on each state's government and politics; thus far this goal has proven to be unattainable. In the meantime, studies such as this one have appeared in nearly all the states; this serves to inform interested readers about a particular state's politics, and Lorch's contribution has been a handsome one over these past years.

Lorch recounts the quite old-how Colorado was settled, got its name, and achieved statehood-and the very new-adoption of the state's first presidential preference primary for the 1992 election cycle, and the approval …

Review Of "Agricultural Policy Reform: Politics And Process In The Ec And Usa” By H. Wayne Moyer And Timothy E. Josling, James G. Kendrik Feb 1992

Review Of "Agricultural Policy Reform: Politics And Process In The Ec And Usa” By H. Wayne Moyer And Timothy E. Josling, James G. Kendrik

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

In days gone by, Economics and Political Science were one. and the discipline was termed Political Economics. Here, it was recognized that acceptable economic theory was tempered by the political system in which the economy existed. The Mercantilism of England and the Netherlands was in direct conflict with the Physiocratic doctrines of France, yet each prospered in their own political environment-and could be studied separately as an integrated unit. Today, the separation of Economics and Political science can lead to frustration when an economic solution for the problems of one society is not perceived by another political system as appropriate. …

Review Of "The Scarab Beetles Of Nebraska" By Brett C. Ratcliffe, William B. Warner Feb 1992

Review Of "The Scarab Beetles Of Nebraska" By Brett C. Ratcliffe, William B. Warner

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Of the few regional faunal surveys of Scarabaeidae available, The Scarab Beetles of Nebraska provides by far the most comprehensive treatise to date of any area in the Western Hemisphere. It not only serves as a manual for identification of all adult Nebraskan Scarabaeidae, but also includes available information on larvae and natural history for each species as well. The book is lavishly illustrated with adult habitus drawings of most species, supplemented by line drawings of larval and adult key characters. Illustrator Mark Marcuson's color plates are worthy of framing, and congratulations go to the printers for their reproduction of …

Review Of "Strength In Adversity: A Study Of The Alberta Economy” By Robert L. Mansell And Michael B. Percy, William Watson Feb 1992

Review Of "Strength In Adversity: A Study Of The Alberta Economy” By Robert L. Mansell And Michael B. Percy, William Watson

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This review of Alberta's economic fortunes in the early and mid-1980s by two of Alberta's best academic economists will interest economists concerned either with western Canada in particular or with the problems of non-very- diversified regional economies in general.

The book's first two substantive chapters consist of a data-laden review of Alberta's protracted economic downturn in the early 1980s and its recovery following 1985. Using simulations with a computer model of the Alberta economy, the authors find that the provincial economy's performance was worse in the early 19808 and better in the middle 1980s than it would have been had …

Review Of "The Government And Politics Of The Alberta Metis Settlements” By T. C. Pocklington, K. P. Binda Feb 1992

Review Of "The Government And Politics Of The Alberta Metis Settlements” By T. C. Pocklington, K. P. Binda

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

With the emergence of native issues such as land claims and self-government in the Canadian constitutional debate, Pocklington's non-technical, informative, and exploratory book as emerged at a timely moment.

A void of scholarship about the Metis has been observed by historians such as Frideres and Friesen. Pocklington has attempted to fill that void, but acknowledges the complexity of his study since the "government and politics ... as they function in small communities like the settlements is intimidating [as] it is difficult to identify the various players, much less to discover how they interact" (p. xiii).

Review Of "Nebraska Residents' Perceptions Of The State's Water Quality” By S. Kay Rockwell, Ann Ziebarth, Delynn R. Hay, And Shirley M. Niemeyer, J. Allen Williams Jr. Feb 1992

Review Of "Nebraska Residents' Perceptions Of The State's Water Quality” By S. Kay Rockwell, Ann Ziebarth, Delynn R. Hay, And Shirley M. Niemeyer, J. Allen Williams Jr.

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

On the basis of national program initiatives, the Nebraska Cooperative Extension staff identified three high priority needs for the 19905 related to agriculture. These needs are to increase agricultural profitability, conserve and manage natural resources, and enhance water quality. This book focuses on water quality, especially with respect to domestic drinking water.

The investigators obtained 877 completed mailed questionnaires from an original sampling frame of 2,000 households stratified by city size. Forty of the questionnaires were returned as nondeliverable or as "addressee deceased." Thus, from the remaining 1,960 potential households, the response rate was 44.7%. This response rate is adequate, …

Review Of "Politics And Public Policy In The Contemporary American West” By Clive S. Thomas, Peter Longo Feb 1992

Review Of "Politics And Public Policy In The Contemporary American West” By Clive S. Thomas, Peter Longo

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Clive S. Thomas has edited a fascinating collection of works in Politics and Public Policy in the Contemporary American West. Scholars of public policy, especially those in the 13 states west of the l00th meridian, now have an excellent resource in Thomas' edited work.

Thomas sets the stage of the book by identifying ten enduring characteristics of western politics (p. 8). Those characteristics include political pragmatism, political individualism, direct democracy, regionalism and sectionalism, candidate-oriented elections, weak political parties and strong interest groups, weak political institutions, the dominance of economic development, dependence on government, and the paradox between myth and …

Review Of "At Odds With Progress" By Bret Wallach, William E. Riebsame Feb 1992

Review Of "At Odds With Progress" By Bret Wallach, William E. Riebsame

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Geographer Bret Wallach's stated goal in this book is to show that environmentalism is rooted in a fundamental human love for the land. He argues that we are "at odds with progress" and that this aversion is illustrated through efforts to protect the land from exploitation. But, .Wallach argues, our loyalty to the land is cloaked in "disguises" of efficiency, social welfare, and scientific ecology.

This argument is pursued through a series of personal reflections on places: northern Maine, southern Appalachia, Wyoming desert, San Joaquin oil fields, the national grasslands, and Texas High Plains. Wallach obviously loves these lands, and …

Review Of "The American West: A Narrative Bibliography And A Study In Regionalism” By Charles Wilkinson, Kenneth A. Erickson Feb 1992

Review Of "The American West: A Narrative Bibliography And A Study In Regionalism” By Charles Wilkinson, Kenneth A. Erickson

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

For the younger scholar interested in the West, Professor Wilkinson's book offers a bibliographic shortcut with a carefully selected and balanced listing of nearly 500 essential entries. The author skillfully weaves annotation of some works into a smoothly flowing text; other items are simply listed in concluding paragraphs.

The book's distinctive organization selectively highlights certain characteristics of the West. The initial chapter reviews the attempts to define the West geographically. The next chapter, "Events," discusses works dealing with Western history, but focuses on key or illustrative conflicts and turning points. Chapter 3 addresses "Peoples," which may be influential individuals, subcultures, …

Frontier Flintlocks: A Fault Tree Analysis Of Firearm Use At Contact Period Sites Of The Great Plains, Peter Bleed, Daniel Watson Aug 1991

Frontier Flintlocks: A Fault Tree Analysis Of Firearm Use At Contact Period Sites Of The Great Plains, Peter Bleed, Daniel Watson

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Gun part assemblages from several Euroamerican and Native American contact period sites from the Plains are compared as a way of examining how firearms were incorporated into Native technology of the Plains region. These data are interpreted in terms of a “fault tree analysis," an operations research technique that identifies potential points of failure in technical systems in order to study patterns of use, maintenance, and reliability. The analysis indicates distinctively different patterns of gun repair and treatment by Indians and Euroamericans but suggests that Indians were quite capable of repairing firearms and that they systematically reused parts from failed …

Review Of Harvest Of Opportunity: New Horizons For Farm Women, By Lois L. Ross, Katherine Jensen Aug 1991

Review Of Harvest Of Opportunity: New Horizons For Farm Women, By Lois L. Ross, Katherine Jensen

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Journalist Lois Ross has organized interviews with twenty-four contemporary farm women of the Canadian prairie provinces into four categories of women's entrepreneurship in the face of the farm crisis of the 1980s. With only a six-page introduction to the volume and briefer chapter prefaces, it is in many ways a book ready to be written. The author defended the interviews, edited only for length and redundance, in the same ways I have often argued for "qualitative" research in saying that the words of the women themselves speak better to the "feelings or frustrations, apprehension or optimism, barriers and breakthroughs" than …

The Rural-Urban Continuum And Environmental Concerns, J. Allen Williams Jr., Helen A. Moore Aug 1991

The Rural-Urban Continuum And Environmental Concerns, J. Allen Williams Jr., Helen A. Moore

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Studies have generally found rural residents to be less concerned about environmental problems than urbanites. This difference has been attributed primarily to a nature-exploitative attitude of farmers. The present study finds little support for this proposition, but an alternative explanation, derived from rational choice and exchange theory, is supported. Owner-operator farmers are different from tenants and absentee owners in their level of environmental concern and shift positions across the range of environmental issues, as do rural nonfarm and small town residents. Furthermore, urban respondents are not consistently more likely than all rural categories to show the greatest environmental concern.

Farm Women's Labor Contributions To Agricultural Operations, Audie Blevins, Katherine Jensen Aug 1991

Farm Women's Labor Contributions To Agricultural Operations, Audie Blevins, Katherine Jensen

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Employment data for women living on farms/ranches in six Wyoming counties were gathered in 1985 and 1986 as part of a farm/ranch households survey. This paper focuses on female employment and its contribution to the economic viability of farm operations, by considering the importance of women's as well as men's employment in maintaining the economic viability of farming/ranching operations during a farm crisis and a wage boom. Although an equal percentage of females and males work off-farm, the data show gender-defined patterns. While size of farm operation was a major predictor of the likelihood of engaging in off-farm employment for …

The Lucanidae And Passalidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) Of Nebraska, Brett C. Ratcliffe Aug 1991

The Lucanidae And Passalidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) Of Nebraska, Brett C. Ratcliffe

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

A faunal study of the five species of Lucanidae and one species of Passalidae that occur in Nebraska is presented. All of these species are near the extreme western limit of their geographic range in North America, and five of the six species are reported from Nebraska for the first time. The treatment for each species consists of synonymy, description, general distribution, Nebraska locality records, temporal distribution in the state, remarks on identification, reference to larval descriptions when available, and information about the biology and ecology of each species when known. Distribution maps, showing the Nebraska records, are given for …

Observed Variations In Great Plains Seasonal Temperatures During The Past Century, Nolan J. Doesken, Thomas B. Mckee Aug 1991

Observed Variations In Great Plains Seasonal Temperatures During The Past Century, Nolan J. Doesken, Thomas B. Mckee

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Time series of observed seasonal temperature data from selected locations on the American Great Plains contain a great deal of information on the nature and scales of climate variations over the past century. At four long-term stations in eastern Colorado, trends of increasing mean maximum and minimum temperatures occurred in all seasons except autumn; with most warming preceding 1940. Diurnal range has been decreasing considerably in recent decades, but long-term trends are not consistent at all locations. Interannual variability has also been changed but does not show a systematic trend.

Time series similarities across the Great Plains decay rapidly over …

Global Change In The High Plains Of North America, Jane H. Bock, William D. Bowman, Carl E. Bock Aug 1991

Global Change In The High Plains Of North America, Jane H. Bock, William D. Bowman, Carl E. Bock

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

The High Plains of North America extends from Canada to northern Mexico. This grassland region is subject to prolonged drought, herbivory, and wildfire. Organisms that are indigenous to the High Plains are adapted to these environmental factors. Periodic droughts occur at inexact, but few year, intervals. The grazing by free ranging bison, the indigenous large herbivore, has been replaced by grazing of fenced domestic stock. Fire regimes throughout human occupation of the region have been greatly influenced by human activities. Cultivation of wheat and corn also is carried out in the region.

Predicted climate changes in this region are increased …
