Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consist:'ng of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii, The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines, Prior to 1951, the records for the 48 ft.ates were published in 14 volumes, one for each of the parts. From 1951 to 1960, the records for the 48 States were published annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the various parts are shown on the map in figure 1, Beginning in 1961, the annual series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year series.

This, in turn, creates the racialization of the Mexican immigrant, specifically the undocumented immigrant—the “illegal alien.” I argue that this unilateral interaction operates with a racial formation of the Mexican immigrant created by elite white (non-Hispanic) males. The anti-Mexican immigrant subframe and “prowhite” subframe derive from the white racial frame, which racializes the undocumented immigrant in the United States.

Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

"Children of the Great Mexican Family": Anglo-American Immigration to Texas and the Making of the American Empire, 1820-1861 Abstract This dissertation examines the thousands of Anglo-Americans who immigrated to Mexican Texas during the years following its independence from Spain. Long assumed to be the forbears of Manifest Destiny, it argues instead that these immigrants demonstrated a sincere desire to become Mexican citizens, that they were attracted to that country as much for its political promise as for its natural resources, and that they in fact shared more with their northern Mexican neighbors than with their compatriots in the northeastern United States. Drawing chiefly from the personal papers, diplomatic correspondence, and newspapers of Anglo settlers and their Mexican allies, this dissertation exposes a political irony at the heart of the United States’ imperial rise - that it had to do with that country’s early political weakness, rather than Mexico’s, and that the people most responsible for it were in fact trying to escape US dominion, not perpetuate it.

Palabras: 81,562, 90,908 Nota a la Segunda Edición El creciente interés por profundizar en la historia de la radio mexicana ha producido muchos y ricos documentos en los últimos años. Con esta obra deseo aportar nuevas vetas a ese caudal a partir de mis exploraciones en fuentes primarias y a través de enfoques más amplio de conceptos como comunicación, efectos sociales de los medios y diplomacia pública. A veinticinco años de su primera edición, este libro ha podido abrevar de las contribuciones de notables investigadores nacionales y extranjeros, a quienes damos el debido crédito en la bibliografía. El acceso electrónico a documentos y archivos ha transformado para bien el panorama de los investigadores. Los indudables beneficios pasan, sin embargo, otro tipo de factura: la del discernimiento. Si antes la ceguera la producía la oscuridad hoy proviene del exceso de luz. Los potentes reflectores de la internet exigen anteojeras para concentrarse y gafas polarizadas para no deslumbrarse. Quedar enredado es un riesgo que puede impedir acudir a fuentes orales y documentales inéditas, que son por cierto aún mayoría. Con el nuevo milenio se ha modificado también el estudio de la comunicación persuasiva relacionada con los conflictos bélicos. La concepción de la influencia social a través del ambiguo concepto de propaganda ha quedado definitivamente superada por el moderno y no menos complejo término de diplomacia pública.
