The Migration Of U. S. Retirees To Guadalajara, Mexico: A Case For Environmental Preference Migration, Virgil Holder
The Geographical Bulletin
There is an increasing amount of literature on environmental preference migration.2 Edward Ullman, probably the first geographer to publish a comprehensive review on the subject of environmental preference migration, suggested that migration models must be revised to account for the effect of amenities, specifically physical attractions such as climate and landforms, in producing migration streams.3 Articles in Time4 and U.S. News and World ReportS indicate that the reasons for the dramatic shift of the American population is due largely to a preference for areas with environmental amenities. The purpose of this paper is to examine the migration of retirees from …

Automated Photo Interpretation Research And Geo-Based Information Usage In The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers, David Stern
The Geographical Bulletin
Most of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Computer Assisted Photo Interpretation Research (CAPIR) program is centered around the use of the APPS-IV analytical stereo-plotter.' This computer supported photogrammetric instrument performs stereomodel set-up, threedimensional digitizing in a continuous stereo environment, data bank creation, mapping, and superposition.2 The initial Corps of Engineers demonstration of CAPIR technology, using the APPS-IV plotter, involved compilation of a digital data base (land cover fuse, topography, and structure inventory) to project economic flood damages in a reach of the Clinton River basin of Michigan. Two other demonstrations slated by the Corps involve: (1) mapping historical …

Electricity Transmission In Michigan's Central Upper Peninsula: Problems And Prospects, Elwood J. C. Kureth, Carl F. Ojala
The Geographical Bulletin
Historically, overall economic development in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has been slow relative to the remainder of the state. Many factors have contributed to such a lag: most may be grouped under the general geographic concept of accessibility. A variety of barriers to accessibility have had a negative impact on the expansion of the region. For example, distance from major markets in southeastern Michigan and Wisconsin and a harsh winter environment in the Upper Peninsula are two barriers commonly noted. However, another significant barrier exists which affects the development of the Upper Peninsula. It is the relative unavailability of …

Geography: Academic Cross Stitching, Alice T. M. Rechlin
The Geographical Bulletin
Yet another variation on the theme of geography in a liberal arts education is offered here for your examination. These words have been inspired in part by the guest editorial of Charles F. Gritzner entitled, "Applied Geography: Retrospect and Prospect" that appeared in the May, 1983 issue of The Geographical Bulletin, and in part by the necessity some of us perceive for strengthening geography's position in liberal arts curricula.

Monitoring Population Pressure In The Semiarid Zone Of Kenya, Isaac Sindiga
The Geographical Bulletin
Population pressure is a maladjustment between resources of a community and its population. This maladjustment worsens when the population increases at a faster rate than the development of the economy. The pressure leads to the deterioration of land resources and low, risky income opportunities and widespread poverty. Kenya's population growth rate of 4 percent per year is one of the highest in the world. Its populationresource relations are deteriorating and foreshadow the country's future. In the semi-arid and arid parts of the country, especially those occupied by traditional pastoral people, population pressures are particularly serious. Here, the pressures of people …

A History Of Urban Development In The U.S.S.R., Ernest T. Hendrix

It need hardly be emphasized that a nation the size of the Soviet Union consolidation under a central government was not a simple task, but the culmination of an ongoing historical process. In order to consider the present stage of development, it should be viewed in its historical context. This will aid in understanding the reasons for the communist revolution and the central planning scheme which resulted. EARLY RUSSIAN HISTORY Early Russian history began in approximately 400 AD. when eastern Slavonic tribes (Russians) called Antae migrated to what became Russian territory from the vicinity of the Prepit marshes and neighboring …
Guiding Principles And Use Of Government Subsidies In The Development Of The High Mountain Regions Of Switzerland And Bavaria,

Guiding Principles And Use Of Government Subsidies In The Development Of The High Mountain Regions Of Switzerland And Bavaria, Elsa T. Schmidt
The Geographical Bulletin
The major contention of this paper is that the development incentive programs of German and Swiss national governments are justified if they bring about an increase in productivity and national income. However, they must also preserve the ecological environment, cultural landscape, and nature areas of the Alpine setting. A comparative study of regional development policies of Switzerland and the German State of Bavaria is used to determine how each national government allocates its regional development subsidies and the results they hope to obtain.

A Numeric Classification Of Climate, Mark R. Cox
The Geographical Bulletin
As one endeavors to create a system of categorizing different climatic types, he soon discovers that it is not an easy process. There are many factors and elements of climate which must be considered. The world also has an infinite number of unique climates that change through time. There are no abrupt changes from one climatic province to another as one might think by looking at a climate map. Each zone gradually meshes into the next adjoining zone, and the real difficulty lies in trying to determine an appropriate point to plot a division line. There are several important methods …

A young undergraduate returns home for Thanksgiving dinner during the Fall of his senior year. The house is full of relatives. Aunts, uncles, and cousins are gathered around the table. A voice from the other end of the table towers over the dull roar of the small crowd. "SO John, tell me, what are you studying to be in school?" John slowly looks up from his plate and replies, "I'm studying geography." "Geography," his uncle exclaimed. "What do you plan on doing with that, teach the names of all the capitals?" "I'm not sure just now. I might keep going …

Just Scratching The Surface-Geographers And The Mining West, Rand E. Rohe
The Geographical Bulletin
Research for a doctoral dissertation on Western mining disclosed an enormous body of literature on the subject, a paucity of works by geographers, and an almost unlimited potential for such studies.' Most existing studies present and examine facts in their historical context with little or no attention to geographical interpretation.2 Yet, such analysis is essential to a full understanding of the significance of mining. Without geographic studies of mining, its perspective in the development of the West remains vague and its enduring significance to the present uncertain. While hundreds of works exist on the various gold and silver rushes, few …
