Twelve essays comprise the publication, capturing the breadth and depth of geography's past and potential contributions to environmental education. This document is designed to enhance the efforts of teachers who are trying to respond effectively to the national interest in environmental problems as well as to acquaint college teachers with environmental problems that are of interest to geographers. The essays demonstrate distinctive aspects of geographic training that are of particular value in dealing with environmental issues and that might lead to the development of environmentally-focused education programs. Titles of the articles, reflecting the content of the volume, include Geography as the Study of Environment: An Assessment of some Old and New Commitments; Biogeochemical Cycles and Energy Flows in Environmental Systems; Accelerated Soil Erosion: A Problem of Man-Land Relationships; Man's Impact on Stream Regimen and Quality; Climatic Modification; The Human Predator: A Survey; The Environmental Impact of Modern Agricultural Technologies; The Environmental Impact of Urbanization; Environmental Perception; Recreation and the Environment; Natural Hazards Research; and The Savanna Biome: A Case Study of Human Impact on Biotic Communities.

Manners University of Texas at Austin and Marvin W. Mikesell University of Chicago Copyright 1974 by the ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN GEOGRAPHERS Commission on College Geography 1710 Sixteenth Street, kW. Washington, D.C. 20009 PUBLICATION No. 13 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 73.88849 Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation 2/3 PREFACE The origin of this volume can he traced to the decision made by the Commission on College Geography in February of I97,0 establish a "Panel on Environmental Education" and its subsequent approval of this Panel's recom- mendation thata collection of essays devoted to geographic research on environmental problems would be a desirable addition to the Commission's program of publications. Informal surveys conducted by Panel members later in 147i produced evidence that a substantial number of geographers were offering courses with an environmental or ecological emphasis and that an assessment of professional commitments in this complex field would be useful.It was not thought that a publication designed to meet this need could be comprehensive. Nevertheless, the Panelfeltthat an appropriate selection of papers might indicate the breadth and depth of geography's past and potential contributions to environmental education. In discussing the possible character of this collection, the Panel was Well aware that the commitment of geographers to environmental education repre- sented a convergent movement from several fields. Geographers concerned with the effects of human activities on vegetation and soil had begun to take account of man's impact on air and water, while gergraphers devoted to perception had been investigating attitudes and decisionmaking in regard to natural hazards and the role of values and taste in landscape evolution, Physical geographers had also begun to take account of current environmental problems and had been applying old and new skills in studies of modified climates and land forms. It was equally evident that both human and physical geographers had become aware of the fact that environmental deterioration is most clearly manifest in cities. In short, there seemed to be good reason to believe that the widespread interest among geographers in environmental problems was producing combina- tions and associations that had not previously been conspicuous in geographic education. It was also evident that these research commitments had not been sum- marized and that suitable materials for classroom 1,::e were not widely available. Hence itwas hoped that a volume designed to review old commitments and expose the dimensions of new ones would enhance the efforts of teachers who , were trying to respond effectively to the national interest in environmental problems. 1hat many of these teachers were facing larger and more enthusiastic classes than they had ever faced before gave added impetus to the Panel's rationale. It was also hoped that the several papers commissioned for the publication might document and demonstrate thOse distinctive aspects of geographic training that are of particlar value in dealing with environmental issues and hence might enable the profession to play a more active role in the initiation and develop- men tof environmentallyfocused education programs. These professional traits were thoughtto include (1) a long-standing commitment to environmental studies, (2) understanding of the significance of factors of location, diffusion, and scale, (3) awareness of the complexity of manenvironment interactions, iii 00004 iv PREFACE (4) recognition that problems of environmental qualitymust be considered not only in physical and biological terms but also in relationto human perceptions, needs, and desires, and (S) experiencein dealing with both systems and processes. With these objectives in mind, the Panel asked forcontributions from the several authors whose essaysare published here. They were invited to prepare review articles designed to acquaint college teachers withenvironmental prob loins that have been, are, or should be of interestto geographers, The members of the Panel are grateful to these authors flit theirwillingness to respond to a difficult charge and are also indebted to John F.Lounsbury, Director of the Commission on College Geography, for servingas host for a meeting of the contributors and organizers of the volume in Tempe, Arizonain January of 1073. Thanks must be offered in additionto Salvatore 1, Natoli, Educational Affairs Director of the Association of AmericanGeographers, for advice on trmat, design, and style, editorial assistance, and for thecover design. The index was prepared by Jane Cotner of the AAG National Office who also assisted with technical editing and with checkingbibliographies. In addition, Marie K. Nixon of the AAG National Office offeredher editorial assistance during the galley stage of the work. Since the bask rationale for this effort isa belief thatit will be useful in environmental. education, "feedback" from teachers andstudents will be deeply appreciated.

  • Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television
    Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television A Thesis Submitted to School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cheng Qian September, 2019 !i Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television ABSTRACT China's rise has led to increased interest in the representation of Chinese culture and identity, espe- cially in Western popular culture. While Chinese and Chinese American characters are increasingly found in television and films, the literature on their media representation, especially in television dramas is limited. Most studies tend to focus on audience reception with little concentration on a show's substantive content or style. This thesis helps to fill the gap by exploring how Chinese and Chinese American characters are portrayed and how these portrayals effect audiences' attitude from both an in-group and out-group perspective. The thesis focuses on four popular US based television dramas aired between 2010 to 2018. Drawing on stereotype and stereotyping theories, applying visual analysis and critical discourse analysis, this thesis explores the main stereotypes of the Chinese, dhow they are presented, and their impact. I focus on the themes of enemies, model minor- ity, female representations, and the accepted others. Based on the idea that the media can both con- struct and reflect the beliefs and ideologies of a society I ask how representational practice and dis- cursive formations signify difference and 'otherness' in relation to Chinese and Chinese Americans. I argue that while there has been progress in the representation of Chinese and Chinese Americans, they are still underrepresented on the screen.

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.
