Hydrogeomorphic Response Of A Coastal Plain Stream To Tributary Channelization, Elizabeth J. Nabb, David Shankman
The Geographical Bulletin
The Hatchie River in western Tennessee is one of the few remaining free-flowing streams in the Gulf Coastal Plain. Although there have been no major modifications of the main channel, many of its tributaries have been channelized during the past few decades. Channelization has significantly reduced flooding in the upper sections of the watershed. The straightened and hydrologically more efficient channels, however, speed the flow of water that scours the channel bed. Sediment derived from these unstable channels is transported downstream and into the main channel. An examination of changes in bed elevation indicate that the depth and therefore cross-sectional …

Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comment: The Human Factor In Recent Climate Change Remains Unproven, Carl F. Ojala
The Geographical Bulletin
Global warming, the theory and controversy involving artificial enhancement of the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere, has emerged as one of the prime environmental issues of recent years. Proponents conclude it may produce serious worldwide problems in the near future, such as rising sea levels, geographic shifts in farming and forest regions, and changes in agricultural yields, water resources, and wetlands. Conversely, skeptics imply that any warming due to proposed increases in greenhouse gases is undetectable and unpredictable among the natural variations in long-term atmospheric temperatures.

Suburbanization As A Post-Industrial Essentiality: Revisiting Sweden's Miljonprogrammet, Colin Wood
Swarthmore Undergraduate History Journal
Definitively speaking, suburbanization does not equate to post-industrialism in the same limelight as would urbanization and industrialism. However, anomalous cases, such as the one being discussed in this paper, tangentially interlink on a socioeconomic basis. In 1965, Sweden began construction of the Miljonprogrammet (Million Programme), where over the next ten years, over one million domiciles were built in a suburban setting leading to a mass diaspora of ‘slum living’ Swedish industrial workers. The nation’s renowned welfare state, built on a collaborative system between public and private sectors as well as federal and municipal actors, overlooked housing in its social …

Illinois: A Geographical Survey, Illinois Geographical Society By Ronald E. Nelson, Editor, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
Ill inois, the 'Prairie State' has a rich and varied landscape, which is a product not only of the forces of nature, but also of the geographic patterns of human act ivity. The interaction of the physical environment of Illinois with the inhabitants of the state, and the resulting geographic milieu, are the subjects of this book. The book is a compilation of chapters by a series of authors who have expertise in some aspect of the geography of Illinois. The result is a detailed regional geography, ofthe classic vintage, which contains a wealth of information.

Variability And Frequency Of Daily Rainfall In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Abdullah Ai-Saleh
The Geographical Bulletin
This study examines the temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. The city has experienced significant urbanization in the past two decades. Therefore, the impervious surfaces and the restriction of original surface flow routes increase runoff in Riyadh city. Thus, stormwater frequently accumulates in streets because it exceeds the storm sewer capacity, storm sewers are blocked or partially blocked by sediment, or due to the lack of storm sewers. Data from three climatic stations in Riyadh and north of the city are used to characterize the temporal and spatial variations of rainfall amounts …

Frost Protection From Small Protective Coverings, Kathleen M. Baker, Robert H. Aron
The Geographical Bulletin
The purpose of this study was to determine the frost protection value of covering your plants in spring with polyethylene terephthalate (plastic) milk jugs or polyurethane rose cones. These coverings were placed in a field southeast of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nocturnal temperatures were measured from May 7- 24, 1995 on clear and cloudy nights. Spring nocturnal temperatures inside one U.S. gallon milk jugs were slightly lower and those inside rose cones slightly higher than ambient air temperatures. Placing holes near the bases of these covers to provide additional circulation resulted in slightly lower nocturnal temperatures under the rose cones but no …

Appalachian Kentucky: Some Comments Concerning Poverty And The Nature Of The Banking Network In The Region, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
The Appalachian region has been a core of poverty for many decades. In this research, some changes in the extent and nature Qf poverty in the region are presented that suggest despite extensive programs designed to combat poverty, a core of intense poverty still persists. While significant improvements have been made in such areas as transportation, it seems clear that some roots of poverty in the region have not been addressed. It is argued that one neglected area involves the banking network in eastern Kentucky. This contention is supported by analyzing banking data concerning the internal banking network within the …

Comments On Canadian Regionalism And The Media, Jay D. Gatrell, Jonathan D. Gatreli
The Geographical Bulletin
This research explores the impact of regionalism in Canada on the program design ofthe Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) Prime Time News. An analysis was performed on the content of this program to determine whether or not such regional considerations exist. The content analysis extracted two key variables, Total Segments and Segment Length, to determine if the CBC employed a decision making process imilar to the federal government's de jure and de facto regional allocation process for governmental appointments. The paper concludes that such a decision-making process was not clearly endorsed by the analysis; however, additional statistical analysis illustrates the potential …

Tourism In The United Arab Emirates, Saif S. Al-Qaidi
The Geographical Bulletin
In recent years, tourism development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been promoted to diversify the economy of the country. It is estimated that in 1991 , about 1.2 million tourists visited the country. Most visitors came from the Gulf states, Western Europe and the former USSR. The question raised in this investigation is whether the UAE is in a position to serve tourists from all over the world, and what facilities and attractions are available to promote the industry. The paper also highlights places of interest to visitors to the UAE. Attractions include natural landscapes for ecotourism as …

Regions Of Risk: A Geographical Introduction To Disasters By Kenneth Hewitt, Taly D. Drezner
The Geographical Bulletin
Regions of Risk is a comprehensive text that painstakingly describes how disasters and the threat of disasters shape and geographically alter communities and regions all over the world. In his introduction, Hewitt writes, "Any given risk or disaster event is distinguished by its geographic location and setting. These are important keys to the origins of danger, the forms of damage and whom they most affect."

Physical Hydrology By S. Lawrence Ding-Man, Patricia J. Beyer
The Geographical Bulletin
As the public eye increasingly focuses on issues related to the use and quality of water, the science of hydrology expands from its position as an academic and engineering endeavor to one of prominance in people's everyday lives. With this expansion comes the need for education, not only for hydrologists and geomorphologists, but for biologists, botanists, earth scientists, climatologists, land managers, developers and policy makers. Water is a fascinating and complex substance: not only is water itself a resource, but it is also a main pathway for energy and chemical transfer in the Earth-atmosphere system.

Environmental Geography: Science, Land Use, And Earth Systems By William M.Marsh And John M. Grossa, Eric Matranga
The Geographical Bulletin
Environmental Geography is an introductory text for undergraduate instruction. Marsh and Grossa recognize a lack of geographic perspectives in such texts. They set as their task, building "on the traditional themes of geography". Concepts covered include environmental systems, principles of space, scale and distributions, and landscape as the result of human-environment interaction.
