  • Philadelphia to the Coast in Early Days, and the Development Of
    Volume XVIII January-February. 1916 Numbor 1 PHILADELPHIA TO THE COAST IN EARLY DAYS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN ORNITHOLOGY PRIOR TO 1850+ By WITYER STONE T IS MY PRIVILEGE at this meeting to represent the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. On the long journey from coast to coast that-the I eastern members have just completed, the names both of localities that we passed and of birds that we saw, have constantly called to mind the fact that other and more worthy Philadelphia ornithologists had made this trip before. They came not to participate in scientific meetings nor to enjoy the generous hospitality of friends and fellow students, but as pioneers in investigating the natural resources of one of the richest sections of our continent; to search out in the wilderness the new species of birds, mammals, plants, etc., to bring home specimens upon which scientific descriptions and names might be established. They came, not surrounded by all the comforts of modern travel, but on foot or on horseback, picking their way through unexplored wilds, exposed to indian attack and at the mercy of the elements, dependent largely upon ts country through which they passed for sustenance. Some of them gave2 their lives in the pursuit of our favorite science, and to one and all we owe a debt of gratitude for the part they played in developing our knowledge of the ornithology of the Pacific Coast. Though we are inclined to think of these early explorers as men of mature years, they were mostly young fellows from 19 to 21 or 30 years of age, ready for any hardships or danger in the pursuit of their object.

Burning on the Shore of an Unknowable Void: Nature as Mystical Reality in the Fiction of Cormac McCarthy Skyler Latshaw A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts English Literature August 2013 Abstract Language, spirituality, and the natural world are all prominent themes in the novels of Cormac McCarthy. This thesis examines the relationship between the three themes, arguing that McCarthy empowers the natural world with a spiritual significance that may be experienced by humanity, but not completely understood or expressed. Man, being what Kenneth Burke describes as the “symbol-using” animal, cannot express reality through language without distorting it. Language also leads to the commodification of the natural world by allowing man to reevaluate the reality around him based on factors of his own devising.

  • Birdobserver17.4 Page183-188 an Honor Without Profit Richard K
    AN HONOR WITHOUT PROFIT by Richard K. Walton eponymy n The derivation of a name of a city, country, era, institution, or other place or thing from the name of a person. Gruson in his Words for Birds gives seven categories for the origins of common bird names: appearance (Black-capped Chickadee), eponymy (Henslow’s Sparrow), echoics (Whooping Crane), habitat (Marsh Wren), behavior (woodpecker), food (oystercatcher), and region (California Condor). The second category comprises people and places memorialized in bird names. Many of our most famous ornithologists as well as a fair number of obscure friends and relations have been so honored. A majority of these names were given during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the pioneering era of North American ornithology. While some of these tributes are kept alive in our everyday birding language, others have slipped into oblivion. Recognition or obscurity may ultimately hinge on the names we use for birds. There is no more famous name in the birding culture than that of John James Audubon. His epic The Birds of America was responsible for putting American science, art, and even literature on the international map. This work was created, produced, promoted, and sold largely by Audubon himself. In the years since his death in 1851, the Audubon legend has been the inspiration for a multitude of ornithological pursuits and causes, both professional and amateur. Audubon painted some five hundred birds in Birds of America and described these in his five-volume Ornithological Biographies. Many of the names given by Audubon honored men and women of his era.

    THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN SOUTH CROATIA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY Marija BENI PENAVA1 Marija GJURAŠI2 University of Dubrovnik, 29 Branitelja Dubrovnika, 20000 Dubrovnik, CROATIA University of Dubrovnik, 29 Branitelja Dubrovnika, 20000 Dubrovnik, CROATIA * Marija Beni Penava; E-mail: [email protected]; phone: +385 20445934 Abstract — This paper analyses, using archive records and relevant literature, the application of technological advances in transport and tourism in South Croatia in the period that preceded cruisers with thousands of passengers, mass air transport, as well as the usage of computers reservation systems and credit cards that are used in tourism industry nowadays. Technology was intensively involved in the tourism industry in the past. The impacts of technology could be seen on the connectivity by railway as well as sea, land and air traffic. In addition to the mentioned factors of communicative tourism, its receptive factors – hotel industry, catering, marketing, cultural institutions, public services etc became more dependent on technologies in the interwar period. The connection between the advances in technology and the new growing service sector of tourism in the Croatian south was a prerequisite of the coming development of mass tourism. Therefore, the human need for rest, recreation and adventure while abandoning their permanent residence achieved its purpose – enjoyment and relaxation. Peripheral parts of the Croatian south outgrew into world tourist destinations due to the progress of both transport and communication technology in the first half of the 20th century. Keywords— technology, tourism, South Croatia, 20th century 1. INTRODUCTION The Republic of Croatia is oriented towards tourism development, it is a recognized and popular destination with a clear development strategy and vision of its future in tourism.

Tourism Development on the Eastern Italian Border** IZVLEČEK TURIZEM IN FAŠIZEM. TURISTIČNI RAZVOJ NA ITALIJANSKI VZHODNI MEJI Prispevek se osredotoča na obravnavo turističnega razvoja nekdanje italijanske province Julijske krajine (Venezia Giulia). V ospredju zanimanja je torej obdobje med obema voj- nama. Območje, ki je predmet analize, predstavlja zanimivo študijo primera, ki še ni bila deležna zadostne historične znanstvene obravnave, vsaj glede področja turističnega razvoja. Zanima me raziskovanje povezave in povezanosti med političnim režimom in nacionalnim diskurzom s turistično panogo oziroma različnimi tipologijami turistične ponudbe. Kako se je posameznim turističnim destinacijam (»starim« ali »novim«) uspelo prilagoditi novim političnim razmeram, ki so nastopile po koncu prve svetovne vojne, in kako se je turizem razvijal v okviru totalitarnega sistema, v tem primeru fašizma.
