Diverse thinkers and actors, it shows, have understood the edges of the American metropolis to be laboratories of a sort, experimental sites where the forms of a reordered city might be glimpsed in microcosm and put on display. Suburbs have also served as laboratories where questions of landscape’s animacy — not what landscape means, the focus of a generation of scholarship in cultural geography, but what landscape does — came vividly to the fore, provoking much debate and speculation. Drawing on archival sources, visual materials, maps, plans, and field study of the built environment, this work recasts debates that have long been central to cultural geography, geographic thought, urban and suburban studies, and the intellectual histories of planning and urbanism.

It argues that both the modal techniques planners and builders came to prescribe for the post–World War II suburb and the most noticeable programs since predicated on redressing suburbia’s perceived failures can find their roots in prewar debates, ontological in character, on the “life” proper to landscape, indeed to matter itself.

  • The Hippo~Oscidaeof Oceania (Diptera)1
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU,HAWAII Volume XVI November 22, 1941 Number 11 The Hippo~oscidae of Oceania (Diptera) 1 By JOSEPH C. BEQUAERT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS INTRODUCTION In the present taxonomic study of the Bippoboscidae, Oceania covers, rather arbitrarily, the many archipelagos and isolated islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, from the Marianas and Car­ oline Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia to the Hawaiian islands and the Galapagos. So far, I have seen material from the Carolines, Marianas, Mar­ quesas, Gilberts, Bismarck Archipelago, Solomons, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa, New Hebrides, Hawaiian Archipelago, and Galapagos. This was obtained mainly from the following sources: the British Museum (Natural History), the Paris Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum of Nat­ ural History, the California Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the Kyushiu Imperial University, Fukuoka, U. S. National Museum, and Bernice P. Bishop Museum. I am under obligation to G. F. Ferris for the loan of type specimens from the collections of Stanford University. The bibliography of each species covers all references to records from Pacific islands; but only localities of specimens actually seen by the several authors are quoted. I have added a full synonymy, with references to the original descriptions, type localities, and type hosts. FAUNAL CHARACTERISTICS The family Hippoboscidae, never a conspicuous element of any fauna, is particularly scanty in Oceania: Only 20 species are listed 1 This is number 15 of my '~Notes on Hippoboscidae." 248 Bernice P.

  • Phleger Estate
    PHLEGER ESTATE PHLEGER ESTATE n 1935, Herman and Mary Elena Phleger purchased their Mountain Meadow property that has come to be known as the Phleger Estate. In 1984, Herman died. IHe and Mary Elena had been life-long boosters of conservation and environmen- tal causes. In that spirit, Mary Elena offered the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) the opportunity to preserve the property. Within four years, POST managed to raise the necessary funding to make the purchase possible. On April 29, 1995, the Phleger Estate was dedicated as a part of the GGNRA. The 1,084 acre parcel1 is located west of Cañada Road and north of San Mateo Coun- ty’s Huddart Park in the southern hill country of the Peninsula, once a portion of Ran- cho Cañada de Raymundo in the heart of a robust logging industry during the nine- teenth century. Its western boundary is a forested ridge plainly visible from United States Interstate 280 to the east. This ridge and slope is the eastern portion of Kings Mountain of the Sierra Morena or Santa Cruz Range of Mountains (also referred to as the Skyline) and at 2,315 feet is the second highest point in San Mateo County.2 Three major drainages run from the Mountain into West Union Creek. The Phleger Estate includes redwoods, mixed evergreens and tan oak woodlands. The redwoods are mostly in stream corridors of canyons of the Skyline and also along West Union Creek. These trees include mostly second-growth redwoods, however, the lumberjacks did not take every one of the original sequoias, because a few old growth trees, obviously the more inaccessible ones, live in the upper portions of the property.
