1st Edition

by Bruce A. Weber(Author)

This book integrates the most current research findings on the economic, demographic, fiscal, and social consequences of rapid growth in rural communities and offers strategies that can be used to mitigate the often disruptive impact of that growth. While working extensively with government officials and citizens in rural communities, Drs. Weber and Howell became aware of the need for a compilation and synthesis of the research on rural growth; they subsequently invited scholars working in selected topic areas to contribute to that effort. The resulting papers were refined during a meeting sponsored by the Western Rural Development Center, edited, and brought together in this volume. Incorporating 1980 census data, the book outlines the spectrum of changes associated with rapid growth in rural areas, presents specific options for managing rapid growth, and suggests a model that communities can use for impact assessment and for monitoring the effectiveness of various management strategies.

by Maria E. Fernandez-Gimenez (Editor), Xiaoyi Wang (Editor), Batkhishig Baival (Editor), Julia A. Klein (Editor), Robin Reid (Editor) The rangelands of China and Mongolia encompass diverse landscapes of global environmental and cultural significance. Pastoralists in these two nations share much common history and tradition, including their nomadic heritage and twin eras of collectivized production under different centrally planned socialist regimes. This unique collection of case studies describes the change, loss, re-emergence and resilience of seven herder communities located in distinct socio-ecological settings ranging from the Gobi desert of Mongolia to the Tibetan Plateau regions of China's Sichuan and Gansu Provinces. Useful for policy makers within international development and conservation policy, this book is also of interest for researchers and students of rural economics and agriculture.

1935-1954 Hardcover – January 1, 1971

by Joseph L Arnold (Author)

"It is a rare surprise to find a doctoral dissertation that turns out this good. Arnold somehow manages to explain the significance of many of the New Deal's alphabet soup agencies while focusing his story on the main players' characters and motivations. Rexford Tugwell's insouciant megalomania are perfectly on display here, as is a nation's fascinated horror about his (the RA's), "Soviet Communes in America." FDR's interest in the program is traced back to his city planning uncle Frederick Delano, who would wax philosophic to a young FDR on the need for comprehensive regional plans. Even Dean Acheson makes an improbable appearance here as a land syndicate lawyer suing to stop a public housing program in the New Jersey countryside. But as is appropriate with a story about a social experiment, Arnold also examines the effects of the experiment on the test subjects. He finds that the early inhabitants of these new towns founded a variety of institutions that spontaneously mirrored many the New Dealers were trying to form from on high. There were credit and shopping cooperatives, non-profit hospitals, community newspapers. Most failed quickly, but a few survive to this day (Greenbelts co-op grocery is still there, check it out)." by Frank Stein

Native Americans and the Environment: Perspectives on the Ecological Indian

Paperback – March 1, 2007

by Michael E. Harkin (Editor, Introduction), David Rich Lewis (Editor, Introduction), Brian Hosmer (Preface), Shepard Krech III (Afterword), Judith Antell (Foreword)

Native Americans and the Environment brings together an interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars whose works continue and complicate the conversations that Shepard Krech started in The Ecological Indian. Hailed as a masterful synthesis and yet assailed as a problematic political tract, Shepard Krech’s work prompted significant discussions in scholarly communities and among Native Americans.
Rather than provide an explicit assessment of Krech’s thesis, the contributors to this volume explore related historical and contemporary themes and subjects involving Native Americans and the environment, reflecting their own research and experience. At the same time, they also assess the larger issue of representation. The essays examine topics as divergent as Pleistocene extinctions and the problem of storing nuclear waste on modern reservations. They also address the image of the “ecological Indian” and its use in natural history displays alongside a consideration of the utility and consequences of employing such a powerful stereotype for political purposes. The nature and evolution of traditional ecological knowledge is examined, as is the divergence between belief and practice in Native resource management. Geographically, the focus extends from the eastern Subarctic to the Northwest Coast, from the Great Lakes to the Great Plains to the Great Basin.
