A picture is seldom as enlightening as a thousand (well-chosen) words-the nightly television news makes that clear- but it supplies an extra dimension. Generally, in the WQ, we tiy to use pictures and captions not simply to illustrate the texts of articles but to add information. Even cartoons (see "France," pages 62-63) serve that purpose. The change to a full-color cover (designed by Nancy Root), a new typeface, and better paper does not herald a switch in the WQ's basic format or in its special mission. This magazine's goal remains what it was in 1976: to alert a sizable non-academic audience to the latest ideas and information, developed by scholars, on a broad range of significant topics. We emphasize clear prose. Like our parent institu- tion, the Woodrow Wilson Center, we have a bias in favor of history, and we seek a lively diversity of scholarly viewpoints. In so doing, the WQ's editors benefit from the advice of the Fellows at the Wilson Center, the cooperation of the Smithsonian Institution, and access to the rich archival resources of the nation's capital. We also profit from the comments of our readers (see pages 173-74), who seldom fail to tell us when we fall short of perfection.

THE ROLE OF ECOLOGICAL BARRIERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL BOUNDARIES DURING THE LATER HOLOCENE OF THE CENTRAL ALASKA PENINSULA BY RICHARD VANDERHOEK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor R. Barry Lewis, Chair Professor Stanley H. Ambrose Professor Thomas E. Emerson Professor William B. Workman, University of Alaska ABSTRACT This study assesses the capability of very large volcanic eruptions to effect widespread ecological and cultural change. It focuses on the proximal and distal effects of the Aniakchak volcanic eruption that took place approximately 3400 rcy BP on the central Alaskan Peninsula. The research is based on archaeological and ecological data from the Alaska Peninsula, as well as literature reviews dealing with the ecological and cultural effects of very large volcanic eruptions, volcanic soils and revegetation of volcanic landscapes, and northern vegetation and wildlife. Analysis of the Aniakchak pollen and soil data show that the pyroclastic flow from the 3400 rcy BP eruption caused a 2500 km² zone of very low productivity on the Alaska Peninsula. This "Dead Zone" on the central Alaska Peninsula lasted for over 1000 years. Drawing on these data and the results of archaeological excavations and surveys throughout the Alaska Peninsula, this dissertation examines the thesis that the Aniakchak 3400 rcy BP eruption created a massive ecological barrier to human interaction and was a major factor in the separate development of modern Eskimo and Aleut populations and their distinctive cultural traditions.

Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics | 3 ABSTRACT 2011 became a year of revolt for the Middle East and North Africa as a series of popular uprisings toppled veteran strongmen that had ruled the region for decades. The contentious mobilisations not only repudiated orthodox explanations for the resilience of Arab autocracy, but radically asserted the ‘political imaginary’ of a sovereign and united citizenry, so vigorously encapsulated in the popular slogan al-shaʿb yurīd isqāṭ al-niẓām (the people want to overthrow the system).

  • THE PERSISTENCE of Bylantium
    .THE PERSISTENCE OF BYlANTIUM Is Evil Banal? The End of Wilderness Edward Hirsch on lorge luis Barges EDITOR’S COMMENT s the WQ goes to press, Wall Street is riding a roller coaster, alarmed by anxious talk of “global economic contagion” and wor- A ries about the prospects of U.S. companies. The economies of Japan, Russia, and Indonesia are only at the forefront of those teetering on the edge of disaster. Amid such alarms, this issue’s focus on the promise (and per- ils) of the emerging digital economy couldn’t be more timely. Consider, for example, the fact that the global network of telecommunica- tion-linked computers is already a big force, possibly the biggest, behind the rise of our interconnected global economy. Not only do networked technolo- gies make new kinds of commerce across borders and oceans possible; these technologies, and the content they carry, are increasingly the object of such commerce. As the digital economy goes, to a large extent, so goes the global economy. Consider, too, how networked technologies helped precipitate the turmoil. By linking national economies with others, the cybermarket has increasingly forced all players to play by common, or at least similar, rules—to some nations’ dismay and disadvantage. Customs, institutions, and practices that might have served their nations adequately in the relatively insular past— Japan’s elaborate protectionism, for example, or Indonesia’s crony capitalism— appear to be dysfunctional in today’s interconnected economy. Yet even where the problems are obvious, many national leaders are reluctant or unable to jet- tison traditional ways of doing business.
