Hiker Accounts of Living Among Wildlife on the Appalachian Trail
Wild Stories on the Internet: Hiker Accounts of Living Among Wildlife on the Appalachian Trail Submitted by Katherine Susan Marx to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthrozoology In July 2018 This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has been previously submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………. Abstract The Appalachian Trail is the world’s longest hiking-only trail, covering roughly 2,200 miles of forest, mountains, ridges and plains. Each year a few thousand people set out to hike the entire length of the trail, estimated to take between five and seven months to complete. Numerous species of autonomous animals – wildlife – dwell on and around the trail, and it is the encounters that happen between these human and nonhuman animals that are the focus of this thesis. The research presented here is based wholly around narratives posted online as blogs by 166 Appalachian Trail hikers during the years 2015 and 2016. These narratives provide an insight into how hikers related to the self-directed animals that they temporarily shared a home with. Several recurring themes emerged to form the basis of the thesis chapters: many hikers viewed their trek as akin to a pilgrimage, which informed their perception of the animals that they encountered; American Black Bears (Ursus americanus), viewed as emblematic of the trail wilderness, made dwelling on the trail satisfyingly risky; hikers experienced strong feelings about some animals as being cute, and about others as being disgusting; along a densely wooded trail, experience of animals was often primarily auditory; the longer that they spent on the trail, the more hikers themselves experienced a sense of becoming wild. -

MCPB Item No. Date: 11/30/17 November 23, 2017 MEMORANDUM TO: Montgomery County Planning Board VIA: Michael F. Riley, Director Mitra Pedoeem, Deputy Director Michael Ma, Chief, Park Development Division (PDD) Patricia McManus, Design Sec on Supervisor, (PDD) FROM: Aaron Feldman, Landscape Architect (PDD), 301-650-2887 SUBJECT: Amendment to the Facility Plan for the North Branch Hiker Biker Trail STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve modifi ca ons to the 2013 Facility Plan for the North Branch Hiker-Biker Trail, specifi cally: 1) Relocate the proposed trailhead and parking lot from Muncaster Mill Road to Meadowside Lane. 2) Relocate the proposed bridge from near the Meadowside Nature Center to just south of the Intercounty Connector (ICC). PROJECT SUMMARY In March of 2017, during the detailed design phase of the project, the Norbeck Manor Homeowners Associa on contacted staff with concerns about the proposed loca on of a trailhead and parking lot intended to serve the North Branch Trail. Staff a ended a Homeowners Associa on mee ng, reviewed the concerns, studied alterna ves and presented them at a subsequent public mee ng for feedback. In light of strong community support for reloca ng the trailhead and parking lot from the loca on shown in the approved 2013 Facility Plan, staff is returning to the Planning Board for approval of the new loca on and other minor modifi ca ons to the overall plan. ExisƟ ng CondiƟ ons Located within both Rock Creek Regional Park and the North Branch Stream Valley Park, the North Branch Hiker-Biker Trail is a 2.2 mile-long segment of a con nuous regional trail system that will eventually extend from the District of Columbia northward to Olney. -
Virtual and Physical Environments in the Work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson
Virtual and Physical Environments in the work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ART in the Art History Program of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning April 2012 by Ashton Tucker B.A., Bowling Green State University College of Arts and Sciences Committee Chair: Morgan Thomas, Ph.D. Reader: Kimberly Paice, Ph.D. Reader: Jessica Flores, M.A. ABSTRACT The common concerns of artists Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962), Doug Aitken (b. 1968), and Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) are symptomatic of key questions in contemporary art and culture. In this study, I examine key works by each artist, emphasizing their common interest in the interplay of virtual space and physical space and, more generally, their use of screen aesthetics. Their focus on the creative interplay of virtuality and physicality is indicative of their understanding of the fragility and uncertainty of physical perception in a world dominated by screen-based communication. In chapter one, I explore Pipilotti Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) and argue that the artist creates work where screen based projection and installation are interrelated elements due to her interest in creating spaces that engage the viewer both physically and virtually. In chapter two, I discuss Doug Aitken’s work and argue that he democratizes the viewing experience in a more radical way than Pipilotti Rist. In the final chapter, I discuss the work of Olafur Eliasson as it relates to California Light and Space art and the phenomenological aspects of the eighteenth-century phantasmagoria. -

Peace Trail on the National Mall
PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Making Peace Possible Learn more about the United States Institute of Peace at www.usip.org PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Introduction The northwest corner of the National Mall could be considered the “War and Peace Corner” of our nation’s capital. It is home to this country’s most famous veterans memorials, which draw tens of millions of visitors each year. It is also home to the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), and to other symbols and sites with peace themes, which, while generally less prominent, offer an important and complementary narrative. The following Peace Trail on the National Mall is the result of a collaboration between USIP and colleagues at the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington, D.C. and at the National Park Service. Anchored at USIP and tracing a path to a dozen other key sites in the vicinity, it brings a “peace lens” to the experience of visiting the National Mall. It may be used as a self-guided walking tour or a reference guide, elevating stories of key figures, institutions, and moments in history that demonstrate America’s enduring commitment to peace. 1 M HA EDWARD R MURROW H ST NW 66 Decatur House Von Steuben PARK LAFAYETTE Kosciuszko NEW US Court of George New Executive PARK Appeals and Washington H ST NW Office Bldg Baruch Bench Jackson US Court University of Claims Renwick Gallery 24TH ST NW Rochambeau Treasury Annex Lafayette Juarez Blair-Lee House Closed roads G ST NW Eisenhower 14TH ST NW Executive Department Office of the F ST NW -
