  • Pleasure in the Idea / the Atlas As Narrative Form
    PLEASURE IN THE IDEA / THE ATLAS AS NARRATIVE FORM DENIS WOOD School of Design, North Carolina State University Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION 1 IGHT NOW I'M READING a book called The Butcher's Boy. It's by Thomas Perry. I don't know too much about him, but I think it's his Rfirst book. I've been reading it two nights now, last thing before I turn out the light. I'm about a third of the way through and it's okay. On the cover there's a picture of a handgun wrapped up in string and paper like a piece of meat, and the words, "The most electrifying novel of hunter and hunted since The Day of the Jackal!" The Washington Post is quoted as having said, "A brilliant suspense thriller, reminiscent of Graham Greene!" The New Yorker called it, "Totally enthralling!" The Chicago Tribune said, "The ending is a gasser!" I wouldn't know. I'm just reading it for the information, in case some day I get around to writing a detective story of my own. Which is preposterous, on the face of it. But there are people like this, people who claim to read detective stories for nothing but what they learn about the law or who claim to dip into dungeons and dragons solely for the history; who buy romances for their exotic settings alone or read outer space fantasies only for the science. But is there anyone left who still believes them? Isn't it acknowledged that these things are read for their blood and macho heroics, for their sex and fantasy? That they're read to kill time? To achieve the uncomplicated and frankly disgusting pleasures of a 'good read'? There are people who make these claims too (and proudly, as though daring you to challenge their 'unbridled hedonism'), but I find them as difficult to believe as those who claim to read detective stories for the facts.

  • Rand Mcnally Releases New 'Thomas Guide' for L.A. and Orange Counties
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Amy Krouse Rand McNally 9855 Woods Drive Skokie, IL 60077 [email protected] 847-329-6798 Rand McNally Releases New ‘Thomas Guide’ for L.A. and Orange Counties Southern California’s iconic guide now in its 53rd Edition SKOKIE, Ill., February 13, 2013 – Rand McNally today released the 53rd edition of the iconic print Thomas Guide: Los Angeles & Orange Counties, featuring all-new maps in the same distinct page and grid system that has helped Southern Californians navigate for decades. Starting about 60 years ago, the Thomas Guide became the essential directory for Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. Due to its superior coverage of the region in an easy to use grid system, the guide became the standard used by state and local governments, utilities, real estate professionals, and fire and police departments, as well as businesses, to pinpoint locations. The City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are two municipal organizations that continue to use Thomas Guide mapping and the long- established page and grid as the official database for their service and safety operations. The 53rd edition of the guide continues the tradition with a landscape layout and lay-flat spiral binding. The book includes a user guide and legend in English and Spanish and a Pagefinder™ regional locator map for easy reference of specific maps within the book. “As someone who grew up with the Thomas Guide, I am especially pleased that Rand McNally continues to update and publish this valuable guide,” said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally.

  • Parks and People: an Environmental Justice Inquiry in Baltimore, Maryland
    Parks and People: An Environmental Justice Inquiry in Baltimore, Maryland Christopher G. Boone,∗ Geoffrey L. Buckley,† J. Morgan Grove,‡ and Chona Sister§ ∗School of Human Evolution & Social Change, School of Sustainability, Arizona State University †Department of Geography, Ohio University ‡USDA Forest Service—Northeastern Research Station §Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University This article examines the distribution of parks in Baltimore, Maryland, as an environmental justice issue. In addition to established methods for measuring distribution of and access to parks, we employ a novel park service area approach that uses Thiessen polygons and dasymetric reapportioning of census data to measure potential park congestion as an equity outcome measure. We find that a higher proportion of African Americans have access to parks within walking distance, defined as 400 meters or less, than whites, but whites have access to more acreage of parks within walking distance than blacks. A needs-based assessment shows that areas with the highest need have the best access to parks but also have access to less acreage of parks compared to low-need areas. Park service areas that are predominantly black have higher park congestion than areas that are predominantly white, although differences are less apparent at the city level than at the metropolitan level. Following Iris Young and others, we argue that conceptions of justice must move beyond distributive justice and address the social and institutional mechanisms that generate inequities. For Baltimore, we examine how segregation ordinances, racial covenants, improvement associations, the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and the Parks and Recreation Board created separate black spaces historically underserved with parks.

My fears were unfounded and, in fact, it appears that The Thomas Guides have been improved! Anybody who lives in an area that has been mapped by Thomas Bros knows that The Thomas Guides are excellent and indispensable [The Thomas Guides are such a major part of the culture in southern California that when Thomas Bros changed the pagination of the map books in the early 1990's people involved with deliveries, emergency services, and real estate (houses in SoCal are listed by Thomas Guide pages and grids) had their lives dirsrupted as they had to learn the new page numbers]. It is with great relief and excitement that I tell you that the 2003 edition of the California Road Atlas is much better than previous editions.The good parts of this atlas are still there: the tradtional Thomas Bros Pagefinder map, the excellent coverage of urban areas at smaller scales, the easy to use index with page numbers and grids clearly listed.

  • Liquefaction Hazard Map Lasve
    A LIQUEFACTION HAZARD MAP OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY, NEVADA CRISCIONE1, J. J., WERLE2, James L., SLEMMONS3, D. Burton, and LUKE4, Barbara A. ABSTRACT The potential for basin amplification of ground motion from significant seismic sources 100-200 km (62-124 mi.) from the Las Vegas Valley (such as the Death Valley Fault System) and Quaternary faults in the valley could provide sufficient energy to cause liquefaction. Key criteria of liquefiable soils coupled with a shallow groundwater table (less than 15 m (50 ft)) are met at several sites in the Las Vegas Valley. To investigate the extent of the liquefaction hazard, a map was prepared from existing data compiled from geotechnical reports, using screening protocols for liquefaction potential. Geotechnical soils reports for the Las Vegas area were screened to establish a database. The data were compiled with geographical coverage of the valley in mind. Emphasis was placed on areas with favorable surficial geology and groundwater conditions. Once established, the data were evaluated using protocol criteria to ascertain the degree of liquefaction hazard present at the site. The final product has been superimposed on the map base used by the Clark County Building Department for other soil constraints mapping in the Las Vegas Valley. Thus, the liquefaction hazard map can be used as a planning tool to indicate whether site-specific investigations for liquefaction susceptibility are warranted. INTRODUCTION It has been clearly demonstrated that the geological and historical record suggests that earthquakes can cause widespread destruction to cities established in young alluvial valleys (Hitchcock et al., 1999). Lew (2001) suggests that a combination of the presence of active seismic faults, young loose alluvium and shallow ground water are the ingredients that could result in the occurrence of liquefaction.
