Extractions: Published: January 29, 2003 Harold Brookfield has written a book well worth the read. An Australian geographer, Brookfield draws on 40 yr of research experience in tropical agriculture and a talent for fine synthesis to provide us with an insightful and engaging volume. Exploring Agrodiversity, which is written in easy, fluid prose, examines the dynamics and implications of agricultural diversity among small holders in a range of tropical environments. Intended for a subgroup of geography and anthropology scholars, i.e., "cultural ecologists" or researchers who study rural livelihoods and environmental issues affecting traditional peoples, this work is also of relevance to scientists working in the fields of conservation ecology, agricultural and environmental sciences, and global land use and land cover change. Few scholars are as well positioned as Brookfield to write about dynamic diversity in traditional agricultural systems centered on the farmer and the farm. As a geographer, he is at ease exploring subjects ranging from pedoturbation to vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza or apomixis to quasiagnatic subclans, often with the bracing common sense born of long, deep experience in the field. He draws on concepts/approaches not only from his own discipline, i.e., landscape and environmental history, but also from anthropology, i.e., ethnography, and from ecology, i.e., dynamic nonequilibrium and resilience. In discussing tropical agriculture, Brookfield reaches back to pan-tropical research conducted in the 1930s as comfortably as others do to the 1960s, with a wonderful knack for extracting the germane and a clear delight at setting conventional wisdom on its ear.

Extractions: COLLEGE STATION They might seem like scenes from a Hollywood disaster movie, but earthquakes, landslides, floods, droughts and toxic rivers are all too real along the coasts of Southeast Asia where population growth and economic development are putting millions of people in harm's way. But help is on the way. An international geoscience project COASTPLAN is underway in China, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and is aimed at reducing risks to people and property caused by environmental hazards. Prior is part of a six-member project advisory team, supported by the Netherlands, the United States, Canada and Britain. At the invitation of the Dutch and local Ministries of Geology, the team discussed problems faced in the jungles of Papau New Guinea, China's Yellow River delta and Indonesia's Jakarta Bay where one of Asia's largest cities encroaches on the marine environment. "We are trying to transfer the technology of coastal zone management to Asia's coasts, so that they can avoid some of the problems we have experienced," he said. "These are difficult geologic areas to live in and manage, and many people are at risk, but there are also incredible pressures for economic development."

Extractions: January 2003 Previous Issues EDITOR Credit: Ruth Massey, UNDP Sudan The signing of the Machakos Protocol of 20 July 2002 between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) has given Sudan its best chance in several years to end the civil war. But the peace process is still fragile and continued commitment from the political parties will be key to achieving peace. The country is still plagued by ongoing civil strife, chronic instability, adverse weather, and much of the population will remain at or below the poverty line for years to come.

Make a Donation On a hot, fair day, the 12th of September, 1609, Henry Hudson and a small crew of Dutch and English sailors rode the flood tide up a great estuarine river past a long, wooded island at 40° 48â latitude on the North American continent. At the time, Hudson noted the land was âas pleasant as one need tread upon,â and his first mate, Robert Juet, wrote that the land was âas pleasant with Grasse and Flowers, and goodly Trees, as ever they had seene, and very sweet smells came from them.â Subsequent European visitors over the next decade found the island âa convenient place abounding with grassâ and âa land excellent and agreeable, full of noble forest trees and grape vines.â This island was called Mannahatta by the Lenni Lenape people who lived there, or âland of many hills.â It would later become known as Manhattan Island and would become as densely filled with people and avenues as it was once with trees and streams.

Extractions: 1895 Colorado Map The Arthur Lakes Library Receives a Large Gift of Maps from the Library of Congress Over 8,100 maps were added to the collection between August and November 2001. These maps came via donation from the Library of Congress . Included in this gift were detailed maps of many European and South American countries. th Chris was one of 5 participants this year; the others were from the University of Texas at Arlington, University of Georgia, Auburn University, and Penn State University. Their schedules consisted of working on various projects for four days a week, and choosing maps for our own libraries from the Divisions duplicate map collection one day a week. The selection of maps from the duplicates collection was exciting. The treasures hidden within were wondrous. Of the five interns, Chris was unique in that he ran his own collection. Two of the others were catalogers, one was a geoscience librarian, and the other was a library technician. Consequently, he had the best understanding of his own librarys collection and the needs of its patrons, thus was able to select material more appropriate to our collection. In five days of selecting, Chris was able to pull approximately 7,000 maps and atlases (1,700 pounds).

The drug relaxes the smooth muscle of the larger blood vessels and is used to increase the blood supply to the brain or to the heart, as in the treatment of angina pectoris angina pectoris , condition characterized by chest pain that occurs when the muscles of the heart receive an insufficient supply of oxygen. This results when the arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygenated blood are narrowed by arteriosclerosis . In rare cases angina results from spasms of the coronary arteries.

CRUZENEWS FROM TEAM KYRNOS IN SAMOA This morning, the whole troupe from papau new guinea took to the street paraded then Forget National Geographic, we were up close and personal with this http://www.goals.com/kyrnos/samoa.htm
Extractions: We have left the quiet solitude of isolated atolls and islands for awhile and are now in Apia, Western Samoa (13 49'S,171 45'W) with 80 other close cruising boats! We are here for the 7th Pacific Arts Festival held every 4 years in different venues around the Pacific. More on the festival later but first a bit about or last stops. Suvarov or Suwarow as the Cook Islanders now call it was as good as the best of the Tuamotu Atolls we had seen despite the fact that there were 11 boats at anchor. The caretakers have just arrived. Margaret, Tom her fishing husband, Justin their 15 year old son adjusting to life without teenage distractions and Mark their 3 year old son who eased into the native lifestyle without a care. Justin did not like going in the water until Fred took him lobstering. Another boat gave him a mask and he was at home in the water. The sharks are reportedly aggressive in this atoll, however we snorkeled along side them without worry. Fred and 2 friends went spear fishing in the pass and even though the water was teaming with white tips and grey sharks, he still shot 4 fish. But the bucket sitting in the dinghy where he put the fish had a hole, so he thought he should drain the dinghy of fish blood. The greys started swarming the dinghy and his 2 fishing companions that were still in the water could not go back to the dinghy. After 5 minutes the greys moved on and the friends came aboard with a few words to say to Fred!
Extractions: August 9, 2000 #32-00 Ancient Forests, Modern Activism: Communities Fighting Extinction This show's contact information Stephanie Welch: This week on Making Contact.. Oliver Enour: In Nigeria the more a place is deforested, the more it is developed. So which is why forest communities begin to feel that development means deforestation. Maria Teresa Guerrero: Illegal tree cutting is like drug trafficking. The ones who get rich from the illegal logging are the saw mills, the companies and people who are connected to the export business. Stephanie Welch: Recent scientific studies from the United Nation's and other leading institutions have confirmed that the world's remaining ancient forests are home to as much as 90% of the earth's land-based species. But ancient forests world-wide continue to disappear at an alarming rate. On this program, we take a look at community efforts to protect ancient forests. I'm Stephanie Welch, your host this week on Making Contact, an international radio program seeking to create connections between people, vital ideas and important information... In the United States, only five percent of ancient forest remains and seventy-six countries worldwide have destroyed all of their ancient forest. Much of that was lost in the last thirty years, coinciding with increased efficiency in logging methods, stepped up lumber and paper use in the United States, Japan, and Europe, in the sale of timber by developing countries to repay debts to international financial institutions, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. In a ground breaking study from 1997, the Washington, D.C. based environmental think tank, World Resources Institute, found that only one-fifth of the world's original forests remain. Nigel Sizer is the organization's Director of Forest Policy.
