Coastal Waters Of The World: Trends,Threats And Strategies By Don Hinrichsen, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
Without doubt Coastal Waters of the World is one of the most comprehensive books to document diverse regional problems in the near and offshore marine coastal zones of the earth. Following a brief introduction two chapters are devoted to riparian population patterns, and marine resources and fisheries. Fourteen chapters are then presented outlining issues along the earth 's most obvious boundary-the zone separating the land and sea. Each regional chapter (e.g. Latin America, North and Baltic Seas, East Africa) has a similar format: characteristics of population and the state of environmental quality followed by a discussion of management efforts and …

Latin America And The Caribbean: A Systematic And Regional Survey By Brian W.Blouet And Olwyn M . Blouet Eds., Marcelo Cruz

The difficulties and challenges of writing a text book on a region that is so diverse as is Latin America seems unsurmountable. Therefore, any text written on the region will suffer from either incompleteness or in trying to be comprehen123 sive, misses the richness of the important diversity and differences found in this vast region . The latter is the case of Blouet and Blouet's third edition of Latin America and the Caribbean: A Systematic and Regional Survey. The textbook is a compilation of various authors edited by Blouet and Blouet. The editors combine a thematic approach and a regional …

Economic Geography. (3,D Edition) By James O. Wheeler, Peter O. Muller, Grant Ian Thrall And Timothy J. Fik, Robert A. Rosing
The Geographical Bulletin
The third edition of Economic Geography is very similar to its predecessors in organization and content. The changes, aside from statistical updates and incorporation of new research and perspectives, are: the addition of two coauthors (Thrall and Fik); the inclusion of a chapter on the global economy; the combining of two chapters on the economic geography of energy into a single chapter; and, the movement of the last chapter, " ProblemSolving Approaches and Analytical Methods in Economic Geography," to an appendix or reference section. Additionally, the series of world maps depicting demographic characteristics and measures of economic/technological development, by country …

Soils And Geomorphology (3rd Ed.) By Peter W. Birkeland, Mike Applegarth
The Geographical Bulletin
Peter Birkeland's Soils and Geomorphology (3rd ed.) defines 'soil geomorphology' as, "the study of soils and their use in evaluating landform evolution and age, landform stability, surface processes, and past climates." Indeed, the book addresses these issues and then does more; it bridges the gap between geomorphology and pedology. The book can serve as a text for the advanced student in soil science, pedology, or geomorphology as well as a reference guide for the expert soil scientist. In short, Soils and Geomorphology is a 'must have' publication for all who work in the fields of soils and geomorphology.

The Eta Phi Chapter at the California State University at Hayward has been undergoing a process of revival. About two years ago, after 99 percent of its GTU members had graduated, a new group of geography students worked together to try to revive GTU on the Cal State Hayward campus. The current organization consists primarily of graduate students who are trying out a few ideas to breathe new life into the group. Eighteen new members have been initiated since the revival and the goal of the group is to initiate more undergraduate students during the 1999-2000 year. The Eta Phi …

Public High Schools' Ability To Support Gis: An Ohio Case Study, Daniel Donaldson
The Geographical Bulletin
A survey instrument was employed to examine: the present and future computer infrastructure of Ohio's public high schools; technology funding; and the GIS awareness and perceptions of selected Ohio high school educators. Results suggest that introducing computer technology into the educational framework is a priority to Ohio's administrators and teachers alike. Furthermore, the number of technology funding sources is increasing, as is the number of dollars spent on computer technology. However, computer use in Ohio's public high schools is not ubiquitous. Nearly 40 percent of all schools surveyed do not have the computer infrastructure necessary for GIS use. While this …

Marketing A 'Sense Of Place': Representations Of Africa In Ecotour Web Sites, Daniel P. Donaldson, James A. Tyner
The Geographical Bulletin
Patterns and forms of international tourism have changed significantly over the past three decades. Specifically, ecotourism has emerged as an ostensibly environmentally and culturally sensitive option to more traditional forms of tourist activities. Taking advantage of the proliferation of modern communications technologies, ecotour agencies have utilized the World Wide Web to facilitate the marketing and promotion of their tours. This paper examines the implications of Webbased technology and tourism. Through a qualitative analysis of 30 ecotour Websites, we identify and examine dominant discourses which perpetuate the representation of Africa as a dark, empty, wild continent, still open for Western appropriation. …

Teaching Geographic Information Systems In Civil Engineering/Surveying Technology Curricula, William A. Sprinsky
The Geographical Bulletin
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming the norm in engineering, designing and building activities. In the Civil Engineering Technology program at Pennsylvania College of Technology emphasizing surveying, we think GIS provides an excellent example of the use of some basic tools. We teach the GIS "tool" during the second semester, in CET122, Topographic Drawing and Cartography, using Intergraph because of its flexibility in acceptance of data in a number of differing formats. First, we used a part of a municipal database from Knoxville, TN, that supports a project to widen a downtown street, for which there is a unique solution. …

Geography and Environmental Management Self-Assessment Collection (GEMSAC), endeavours to bring selfassessment and speedier independent learning to large numbers of students This interactive computer-based package was devised to give students taking an introduction Geographical Information System course (GIS) the opportunity to measure their progress and obtain immediate feedback. Geographic Information Systems draw from many disciplines and techniques and so require a great deal of diverse knowledge, even at a basic level. In addition to this particular consideration the challenge was to reach large groups of students having varied educational backgrounds and skills. The success of GEMSAC depends on students getting ready …

ROUTE TO THE JOB: " I had just finished an MA in music theory composition in 1980, and had originally intended to get a doctorate in music. Thinking that professional jobs in music and full time teaching positions would be difficult to find, I chose to work on a (second) masters degree in a science related discipline. The reason I chose Physical Geography was because: 1) this is a concentration where I had already received a second undergraduate major; 2) the discipline is a dynamic subject area which included many courses which interested me; and 3) this is an area …

Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comment: Geographic Seeing Eyes: Mind And Lens, Barbara A. Weightman

What kind of camera do you use? How do you get those "people shots"? These are only two of many questions I am asked regarding slide photography. A geographic photo- one showing patterns, relationships, characteristics, and so on-is much more a product of the geographic mind than ofthe camera lens. The type of camera you possess is a small part of the equation for good "geographic photography." Of course it is nice to have wide angle and zoom lenses: much photographic equipment is loaded with "bells and whistles." You can even purchase a multi-pocketed jacket to hold them all. However, …

No. 32: Narratives Of Food Consumption And Food Insecurity: Zimbabwean Migrants In Windhoek, Namibia, Godfrey Tawodzera
Migration and Food Security (MiFOOD) Network
Decades of interlocking economic and political crisis have generated significant out-migration from Zimbabwe to other countries. Neighbouring countries with relative political stability and better livelihood opportunities, such as Namibia, have witnessed increased inflows of Zimbabweans. While there are studies documenting these movements, far less attention has been paid to the food security of Zimbabwean migrants in other countries. This paper investigates the changing dietary and food consumption patterns of recent Zimbabwean migrants in Windhoek, Namibia, and the impacts of these changes on household food security. The narratives of 35 Zimbabwean migrant households in Windhoek show that they face numerous food …

At the heart ofthe recent debate within the Association of American Geographers concerning the format an? cont~nt of its two journals is the eclectic and interdisciplinary nature of the field of geography. As long as geography has been a component of American academe geographers have wrestled with "The Nature of Geography" (Hartshorne 1939) and "The Circumference of Geography" (Fenneman 1919) (i.e., the definition of the discipline). Today the debate has largely returned to Fenneman's "Circumference" in that many, if not most, geographers feel more akin to academicians in other fields than to other geographers. Thus, the social geographer, for example, …

Adopting the perspective of Jack Dan - germond that " . .. most of the problems with rea l GIS now have more to do with the people and the procedures they use ... than with computer hardware and software", Tor Bernhardsen continues with the philosophy that GIS is funda - mentally plagued not by technical but hu - man and organizational problems. In this, the second edition of h is Norweg ian text originally published in 1989, Bernhardsen presents an introductory text directed more toward those individuals who apply GIS technology, than those who would develop it. As such, …
