Review Of Harvest For Hope: A Guide To Mindful Eating By Jane Goodall With Gary Mcavoy And Gail Hudson, Charles A. Francis
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
One of the world's preeminent experts on primate behavior, author Jane Goodall now invests her boundless energy traveling and speaking about conservation. After years of studying chimpanzees in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania, Goodall found their very existence threatened by poachers, by encroachment of farming into their habitat, and by global forces far from their wild environment. She is now on a mission to inform the public about what is wrong with our society and its impact on the planet. Harvest for Hope catalogs the problems and provides practical solutions.
Review Of Taxing Illusions: Taxation, Democracy And Embedded Political Theory By Phillip Hansen, Neil Brooks
Review Of Taxing Illusions: Taxation, Democracy And Embedded Political Theory By Phillip Hansen, Neil Brooks
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Every society possesses a social contract establishing the obligations its members assume toward one another. By and large, this implicit contract governs how a society allocates responsibility for achieving its social and economic goals to the major forms of social organization; in particular, how it divides responsibilities between the public ordering process, represented, in the main, by the government, and private ordering processes, represented by the market but also by families and community organizations. As is well documented, over the past 25 years the terms of the social contract have changed dramatically in most Anglo-American countries, including Canada. The role …
Review Of Laws And Societies In The Canadian Prairie West, 1670-1940 Edited By Louis A. Knafla And Jonathan Swainger, Thomas M.J. Bateman
Review Of Laws And Societies In The Canadian Prairie West, 1670-1940 Edited By Louis A. Knafla And Jonathan Swainger, Thomas M.J. Bateman
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
For all intents and purposes, the settlement of the Canadian prairie was the founding of a new society using materials brought to the new land along with those close at hand. Of course, preexisting aboriginal society had to be supplanted in the course of this founding. In both the supplanting and the founding, the rule of law as we currently know it was a principal means and end of the settlement process.
Review Of Deep Time And The Texas High Plains: History And Geology By Paul H. Carlson, J. Brett Cruse
Review Of Deep Time And The Texas High Plains: History And Geology By Paul H. Carlson, J. Brett Cruse
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This brief book is a history of the Lubbock Lake Landmark site, a nationally recognized archeological site located on the Texas southern High Plains on the north side of the city of Lubbock. The location has been the subject of intense investigations by archaeologists since 1939. Paul H. Carlson, a noted author and professor of history at Texas Tech University, states that his purpose was to go back through what John McPhee called "deep time" to show how the Lubbock Lake location was formed and was used by humans through time. He accomplishes this in five chapters.
Population Characteristics And Health Service Use By Latino Immigrants To Southwest Missouri, Suzanne E. Walker, Susan Dollar, Ravilldra G. Amonker
Population Characteristics And Health Service Use By Latino Immigrants To Southwest Missouri, Suzanne E. Walker, Susan Dollar, Ravilldra G. Amonker
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The rapid influx and new demographic patterns of Latino immigrants to the United States have precipitated numerous pressing issues, among them health and healthcare disparities. The relatively recent phenomenon of high Latino immigration rates to rural areas is increasingly common in the Midwest and Great Plains states, where they are drawn by the labor market. A rural setting, low socioeconomic status, and high concentrations of minorities have been shown to be closely intertwined, and such regions are often medically underserved. Such describes rural southwest Missouri, where we collected data in four counties on demographics, socioeconomic factors, healthcare perceptions, and use …
Review Of The Search For A Common Language: Environmental Writing And Education Edited By Melody Graulich And Paul Crumbley, Denise Tillery
Review Of The Search For A Common Language: Environmental Writing And Education Edited By Melody Graulich And Paul Crumbley, Denise Tillery
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This edited collection grew out of a symposium held at Utah State University in Logan in 2002. According to the editors, the symposium's purpose was to "publicly explore the particular ways environmental writing educates the public through a fusion of science and literary expression." The Search for a Common Language achieves that purpose by including short prose pieces-ranging from memoirs, essays on specific locations, and scientific papers - as well as poetry on natural themes. The range of topics and genres and the inclusion of poetry provide a variety of ways to talk about the environment and reach out to …
Sulfate Mineral Paragenesis In Pennsylvanian Rocks And The Occurrence Of Slavikite In Nebraska, R. Matthew Joeckel, K. D. Wally, S.A. Fischbein, P.R. Hanson
Sulfate Mineral Paragenesis In Pennsylvanian Rocks And The Occurrence Of Slavikite In Nebraska, R. Matthew Joeckel, K. D. Wally, S.A. Fischbein, P.R. Hanson
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The acid weathering of pyrite-bearing Pennsylvanian clastic sedimentary rocks in southeastern Nebraska locally produces the secondary sulfate minerals alunogen, copiapite, epsomite, felsobanyaite/basaluminite, gypsum, halotrichite, jarosite, rozenite, and slavikite. Of these mineral occurrences, four are first-time discoveries in the state or the surrounding region. Slavikite (NaMg2Fe5 (S04)7 (OH) 6• 33H20), which has been reported only once before in North America and from a handful of sites in Europe and South America, was found in abundance at an outcrop at Brownville, NE. The pH values in 1:1 solutions of deionized water of the …
Review Of The Real Roadrunner By Martha Anne Maxon, Janice M. Hughes
Review Of The Real Roadrunner By Martha Anne Maxon, Janice M. Hughes
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This lively little book is the ninth installment in the Animal Natural History Series published by University of Oklahoma Press. Its author, Martha Maxon, has aptly chosen to reveal the true nature of the greater roadrunner, a veritable icon of southwestern bird life. Perhaps no one is better able to accomplish this: Maxon arguably possesses greater intimate knowledge of roadrunners' private lives than any other ornithologist.
Review Of Ogallala Blue: Water And Life On The High Plains By William Ashworth, Sandra Zellmer
Review Of Ogallala Blue: Water And Life On The High Plains By William Ashworth, Sandra Zellmer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
William Ashworth, an environmental historian and prolific writer, grips our attention in lyrical yet urgent terms in Ogallala Blue: Water and Life on the High Plains. Ogallala Blue stands beside John Opie's Ogallala: Water for a Dry Land (1993) and Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water (1986) as a "must read" book for anyone who cares about the future of water resources.
Review Of Applying Nature's Design: Corridors As A Strategy For Biodiversity Conservation By Anthony B. Anderson And Clinton N. Jenkins, Curtis Freese
Review Of Applying Nature's Design: Corridors As A Strategy For Biodiversity Conservation By Anthony B. Anderson And Clinton N. Jenkins, Curtis Freese
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Habitat loss and fragmentation, which in turn result in the fragmentation of species populations and ecosystem processes, are the primary causes globally of species endangerment and extinction. Corridors are an attempt to defragment the landscape and enable the movement of individuals, nutrients, and energy between habitat patches.
Review Of 'Pictures Bring Us Messages' / Sinaakssiiksi Aohtsimaahpihkookiyaawa: Photographs And Histories From The Kainai Nation By Alison K. Brown And Laura Peers With Members Of The Kainai Nation, Susan Berry
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In August 1925, University of Oxford anthropologist Beatrice Blackwood spent two days on the Blood Reserve in southern Alberta, home to the Kainai Nation. Assisted by the Indian Agent, she toured the reserve and took 33 photographs. Blackwood was investigating potential links among "race," culture, and environment, and some of her photographs were anthropometric in nature. Others, showing men working in fields or girls at residential school, portrayed a culture in transition. Upon her return to Britain, Blackwood deposited the Kainai photographs with Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum.
Review Of This Land: A Guide To Central National Forests By Robert H. Mohlenbrock, James R. Brandle
Review Of This Land: A Guide To Central National Forests By Robert H. Mohlenbrock, James R. Brandle
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Robert Mohlenbrock's guide to the national forests of the central U.S. provides the traveling naturalist with a wealth of information on the wide array of national forest lands in the heart of the country. Part of a three-volume series of field guides, this volume covers the states of Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. While most of the forests are along the western and eastern borders of the Great Plains, readers will find a detailed travelog for a National Forest within a day's drive of most areas within the region. While not the focus …
Assessing The Free Land Programs For Reversing Rural Depopulation, Max Lu, Darci A. Paull
Assessing The Free Land Programs For Reversing Rural Depopulation, Max Lu, Darci A. Paull
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
A number of small towns in the Great Plains have recently started to offer free land and other incentives to entice new residents in the hope of reversing persistent depopulation. Based on in-depth interviews, this study assesses the initial performance of the free land programs in six small towns in central Kansas and analyzes the factors that have affected the migration decisions of the new residents. The initial results of these programs have been impressive. Not only have they attracted multiple new residents and increased enrollments in local schools, but they have also elevated long-time residents' pride in their community …
Review Of The Biology Of Freshwater Wetlands: Biology Of Habitats By Arnold G. Van Der Valko, Ned H. Euliss, Jr.
Review Of The Biology Of Freshwater Wetlands: Biology Of Habitats By Arnold G. Van Der Valko, Ned H. Euliss, Jr.
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Wetland ecology is a relatively new field that developed from an initial interest in a few direct benefits that wetlands provide to society. Consequently, much early scientific work was stimulated by economic returns from specific wetland services, such as production of peat and provision of habitat for economically valuable wildlife (e.g., waterfowl and furbearers). Over time, societal interest in wetlands broadened, and these unique habitats are now valued for many additional services, including some that bear non market value. Common examples include carbon sequestration, flood reduction, water purification, and aesthetics. The increased recognition of the importance of wetlands has generated …
Water Rights And Land Values In The West-Central Plains, Allan Jenkins, Bruce Elder, Ram Valluru, Paul Burger
Water Rights And Land Values In The West-Central Plains, Allan Jenkins, Bruce Elder, Ram Valluru, Paul Burger
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Irrigation is vital to the economic activity of the west-central Great Plains. The crops grown, the distribution of center-pivot irrigation systems, and the basic transportation infrastructure is the same in northwest Kansas, northeast Colorado, and southwest Nebraska. But buyers of agricultural land face a different price for irrigated cropland in each of the states, even when the production characteristics of the land are similar. After accounting for factors like productivity and local property tax differences, we argue that it is the difference in water marketing rights between the three states that explains the price difference. The link between land values …
Review Of The Other Alberta: Decoding A Political Enigma By Doreen Barrie, Gurston Dacks
Review Of The Other Alberta: Decoding A Political Enigma By Doreen Barrie, Gurston Dacks
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Doreen Barrie should have subtitled this book "Advocating a Different Identity" because this is its basic thrust. In Barrie's view, today's wealthy, modern, and expansive Alberta should abandon its historic grievances and hostility towards Ottawa. Instead, it should embrace a new narrative emphasizing "the positive qualities Albertans possess . . . the contributions the province has made to the country . . . and that Albertans share fundamental Canadian values with people in other parts of Canada and are eager to playa larger role on the national stage."
The October 1998 Flood Of The Upper Guadalupe River System, Central Texas, Richard A. Earl
The October 1998 Flood Of The Upper Guadalupe River System, Central Texas, Richard A. Earl
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The October 1998 flood on the upper Guadalupe River system was produced by a 24-hour precipitation amount of 483 mm at one station, over 380 mm at several other stations, and up to 590 mm over five days, precipitation amounts greater than the 100-year storm as prescribed in Weather Bureau Technical Papers 40 (1961) and 49 (1964). This study uses slope-area discharge estimates and published discharge and precipitation data to analyze flow characteristics of the three major branches of the Guadalupe River on the Edwards Plateau. The main channel of the Guadalupe has a single large flood-control structure at Canyon …
Review Of Watchable Birds Of The Black Hills, Badlands And Northern Great Plains By Jan L. Wassink, Paul A. Johnsgard
Review Of Watchable Birds Of The Black Hills, Badlands And Northern Great Plains By Jan L. Wassink, Paul A. Johnsgard
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In the sometimes odd vernacular of bird watchers, "watchable" refers to those species that for the most part are fairly easily observed and, by virtue of their behavior or other features, are deemed especially interesting. Of the roughly 400 bird species that occupy the region selected by Wassink (including all of both Dakotas and Nebraska, plus the High Plains of eastern Montana, Wyoming, and northeastern Colorado), he has chosen 84 to discuss individually. One or more generally high-quality color photos of each of these species are included. He has also included color photos of 71 "similar" species, usually of forms …
Hamas: From “Terrorist” Organization To Governing Party The Implications Of Hamas’S 2006 Electoral Victory, Heather Freitag
Hamas: From “Terrorist” Organization To Governing Party The Implications Of Hamas’S 2006 Electoral Victory, Heather Freitag
Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All
“Peace in the Middle East.” As a child, I had always assumed this phrase was in reference to a specific conflict or war that would soon be over; however, peace in the Middle Eastnow seems to be a process of huge proportions with no visible end. Numerous conflicts encompass the problems in the Middle East, most of which have been exacerbated by ineffectual and biased American foreign policy. Of these conflicts, one of the most long-standing and heartbreaking is between the Israelis and Palestinians. With the unequivocal support of the US, Israelhas largely been able to pursue whatever policy it …
Protocol For Investigating Displacement Effects Of Wind Facilities On Grassland Songbirds, Wallace Erickson, Dale Strickland, Jill A. Shaffer, Douglas H. Johnson
Protocol For Investigating Displacement Effects Of Wind Facilities On Grassland Songbirds, Wallace Erickson, Dale Strickland, Jill A. Shaffer, Douglas H. Johnson
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
Populations of grassland and shrub-steppe bird species are declining more precipitously than any other group of North American bird species (Peterjohn and Sauer 1999). Much of the decline appears associated with habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation of grassland and shrub-steppe habitats. Agricultural development is the greatest cause of grassland loss (Knopf 1994). Urban development and range management practices also contribute to loss of grasslands and biodiversity within remaining grasslands (Vickery et al. 1999, Fuhlendorf and Engle 2001). Because of the permanence and fragmenting nature of urban development, this form of grassland conversion may have more severe and longer-term negative effects …
Suicidal Terrorism : A Dying Strategy, Michael Jessee Adkins
Suicidal Terrorism : A Dying Strategy, Michael Jessee Adkins
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This study identifies a causal model for suicidal terrorism consisting of three primary blocks of factors. First, terrorist organizations must desire to expel a social entity from a geographic area and typically operate with a perception of religious asymmetry. Second, members of terrorist organizations must undergo active exposure to specific socialization practices that directly glorify martyrdom and render suicidal behavior socially acceptable within the context of their community. Third, terrorist organizations must adopt an organizational philosophy that indicates they are capable of achieving victory. This study analyzes the characteristics of several high-profile terrorist organizations to demonstrate the noted factors are …
Short-Term Disruption Of A Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia Esula) Biocontrol Program Following Herbicide Application, Diane L. Larson, James B. Grace, Paul A. Rabie, Paula Andersen
Short-Term Disruption Of A Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia Esula) Biocontrol Program Following Herbicide Application, Diane L. Larson, James B. Grace, Paul A. Rabie, Paula Andersen
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
Integrated pest management (IPM) for invasive plant species is being advocated by researchers and implemented by land managers, but few studies have evaluated the success of IPM programs in natural areas. We assessed the relative effects of components of an IPM program for leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), an invasive plant, at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota. Effects of herbicides on leafy spurge abundance and on dynamics of flea beetles (Aphthona spp.) used to control leafy spurge were evaluated over three field seasons following herbicide application. We monitored leafy spurge-infested plots with established flea beetle populations that …
Defining Space Use And Movements Of Canada Lynx With Global Positioning System Telemetry, Christopher Burdett, Ron Moen, Gerald J. Niemi, L. David Mech
Defining Space Use And Movements Of Canada Lynx With Global Positioning System Telemetry, Christopher Burdett, Ron Moen, Gerald J. Niemi, L. David Mech
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
Space use and movements of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) are difficult to study with very-high-frequency radiocollars. We deployed global positioning system (GPS) collars on 11 lynx in Minnesota to study their seasonal space-use patterns. We estimated home ranges with minimum-convex-polygon and fixed-kernel methods and estimated core areas with area/probability curves. Fixed-kernel home ranges of males (range = 29–522 km2) were significantly larger than those of females (range = 5–95 km2) annually and during the denning season. Some male lynx increased movements during March, the month most influenced by breeding activity. Lynx core areas were …
Review Of Saskatchewan: Uncommon Views Photographs By John Conway, Courtney Milne
Review Of Saskatchewan: Uncommon Views Photographs By John Conway, Courtney Milne
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In his acknowledgments, John Conway writes: "I have 'gone out photographing' with only one other person in my life, my friend Garth Abrams. When we arrived at a place, we usually walked off in different directions, each preferring our own way." That statement defines Saskatchewan: Uncommon Views. As a Saskatchewan landscape photographer, I too resonate deeply with the solitude the Great Plains invites, if not commands. Conway's spartan landscapes form the mouthpiece for a haunting lament shared by all who choose to spend time alone here. To recognize these unadorned one hundred sweeps and unpretentious corners is to acknowledge our …
Review Of Fort Randall On The Missouri, 1856-1892 By Jerome A. Greene & Fort Concho: A History And A Guide By James T. Matthews, Barton Barbour
Review Of Fort Randall On The Missouri, 1856-1892 By Jerome A. Greene & Fort Concho: A History And A Guide By James T. Matthews, Barton Barbour
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
National Park Service historian Jerome A. Greene, a leading figure in western military historiography, here offers a comprehensive study of Fort Randall, which served as a bastion of U.S. Army presence in the Great Plains for thirty-eight years. Built in 1856, Fort Randall's garrison was expected to keep peace among Native Plains nations, prevent Indian-white conflicts, and monitor the burgeoning traffic on overland trails and the Missouri River. Located just above the Nebraska-South Dakota border, Fort Randall lay within two hundred miles of the Ponca, Santee, Yankton, Rosebud, and Pine Ridge reservations. Despite its proximity to these sometimes troubled reservations, …
Review Of The Shawnees And Their Neighbors, 1795-1870 By Stephen Warren, Christopher Arris Oakley
Review Of The Shawnees And Their Neighbors, 1795-1870 By Stephen Warren, Christopher Arris Oakley
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
In The Shawnees and Their Neighbors, historian Stephen Warren skillfully examines the various ways that the Shawnees responded to the expansion of the United States during the nineteenth century. According to Warren, for most of the 1700s the Shawnees lived in small to medium-sized politically autonomous villages governed by hereditary chiefs. After removal in the 1830s from Ohio to a reservation in Kansas, however, Indian agents and other federal officials encouraged the creation of a centralized Shawnee tribal government under a national council. This led to a struggle among the Shawnees between the descendants of the old village chiefs …
Review Of John Brown To Bob Dole: Movers And Shakers In Kansas History Edited By Virgil W. Dean, O. Gene Clanton
Review Of John Brown To Bob Dole: Movers And Shakers In Kansas History Edited By Virgil W. Dean, O. Gene Clanton
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
For nearly half of its existence as a political entity, it would seem that Kansas was assigned a larger-thanlife role on the national stage and-arguably-was on the right side of history, or at least aspired to be on the side of a common humanity; since then, especially from the 1920s and New Deal eras to the present, one might contend the state has been lodged within a backwater of time, in need of a new "crop of leaders" capable of dealing with modern exigencies. But according to this study's introductory essay, "this commodity seems in short supply at present .... …
Review Of We Know Who We Are: Metis Identity In A Montana Community By Martha Harroun Foster, James M. Pitsula
Review Of We Know Who We Are: Metis Identity In A Montana Community By Martha Harroun Foster, James M. Pitsula
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
This book is a rigorous, yet readable, exploration of Metis ethnic identity in Montana. It focuses on the Spring Creek community near Lewiston, tracing its Red River antecedents, analyzing responses to changing economic conditions, and examining ethnicity in the context of a variety of factors. The U.S., unlike Canada, has never given its Metis population official recognition. Despite this omission, Foster argues that the community has retained a strong sense of its core identity. As the title states, "We Know Who We Are." At the same time, this identity is complex, multilayered, and situational. The boundaries are porous, enabling the …
