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,

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 Future Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, Theodore R. Speigner
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
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 …

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
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
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 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 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 …

Community Values As Reflected In Zoning Regulations And Land Use Practices, Robert Astrup
The Geographical Bulletin
INTRODUCTION The cities of Dallas and Monmouth, Oregon have been selected as sites for a study of community values. By reviewing the zoning regulations in each town students can begin learning about often unspoken values in a community. In addition a series of maps of Dallas and Monmouth are employed by the students in order to accomplish specific tasks that demonstrate some community values.
