I may have found the favorite for 2019 (already!): “The Library Book” by Susan Orlean is about the fire of 1986 at the Los Angeles City Library but it so much more besides.

By Jill Kiedaisch Jan 11, 2019 Rising sea levels are perhaps the greatest long-term threat posed by climate change. Scientists predict that gradual yet inevitable rises, estimated at about 4mm per year, “will double the frequency of severe coastal flooding in most of the world.” Consider the billions of people living in coastal cities and you begin to comprehend the devastation ahead. Add waves, storm surges, and other extreme weather events into the mix—which are exacerbated by warming oceans—and those remote estimates quickly resolve into a global humanitarian crisis. A recent study conducted by researchers at The University of Oxford reexamines the impact greenhouse gas emissions have had on the earth’s oceans since the late 19th century. Using computer models of ocean currents, Professor Laure Zanna and her colleagues traced 150 years of surface temperatures along their circulation routes, revealing a much deeper picture of submarine heat absorption over time. Their findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that upward of 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions has been absorbed by the oceans, while only a few percent have impacted the air, land, and ice caps. By tracking currents, the team was able to isolate the source of warming in specific oceans. In the Atlantic, for example, approximately half the rise in the past 50 years could be attributed to heat flowing in from deep ocean storage zones. According to an article in The Guardian that references the Oxford study, the total heat stored by oceans since the 1870s amounts to “1,000 times the annual energy use of the entire global population.” In case that doesn’t alarm you sufficiently, that same article went nuclear, calculating that the average warming over this time period is equivalent to one-and-a-half atomic bombs per second. That’s an average, mind you. Depending on your dataset, today’s estimate is a whopping three to six Hiroshima blasts per second. Why are scientists only beginning to understand this now? Because the practice of recording deep ocean temperatures only began in the past few decades.

  • Renaming the American Indian: 1890-1913 Daniel F
    renaming the american indian: 1890-1913 daniel f. littlefield, jr. and lonnie e. underhill I In his book on Indian assimilation, Henry E. Fritz points out that by 1860 it was evident to keen observers that "the only practical and humane answer to the Indian problem was to assimilate the Indian into Anglo- American culture."1 He shows how the system of reservations broke down as whites encroached upon them, how tribal governments grew steadily weaker and how many frauds were perpetrated upon the Indian. Con­ gress refused to pass legislation for new Indian policy, and early attempts at reform of Indian policy were set back by various Indian wars in the 1870's. Fritz further shows how, in the 1880's, reformers made evident the need for reform through such bodies as the Indian Rights Association and the books of writers such as George W. Manypenny and Helen Hunt Jackson. They made it clear that the Indian could not possibly make a choice of cultures in the face of pressing American civilization and stressed the need for a policy of wardship to protect the lands remaining to the Indians and to offer them a possibility of adjusting to the Anglo-American society. What American lawmakers thought was a solution came in the General Allotment Act of 1887. Fritz concludes that the act condemned the reservation Indians to poverty for generations because of the nature of the allotments.2 The act gave the President discretionary powers to make the Indians on reservations take allotments of land in severalty. Until this time, members of the Indian tribes had held the land in common, but by this act each Indian was to receive title to a certain number of acres.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Charles Fletcher Lummis: Los Angeles City Librarian A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Library & Information Science by Daniel Frederick Blitz 2013 © Copyright by Daniel Frederick Blitz 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Charles Fletcher Lummis: Los Angeles City Librarian by Daniel Frederick Blitz Master of Library & Information Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Jonathan Furner, Chair This thesis investigates Charles Fletcher Lummis‘ overarching legacy at the Los Angeles Public Library, where he served as City Librarian from 1905-1910. Although Lummis lacked any formal library school training and was also inexperienced in professional librarianship, he nevertheless managed to transform his institution into one of the nation‘s foremost research libraries, as he earned himself a reputation as a daring and innovative librarian. And yet, despite his many achievements as librarian, he also presided over a very tumultuous period, with many people against him from the start. While some were opposed to the radical ideas put forth by a man they perceived to be an untrained outsider, there were also many librarians who admired Lummis‘ creativity and passion for his work. Lummis had a grandiose vision for the future of the Los Angeles Public Library, as well as the future of the library profession as a whole. ii The thesis of Daniel Frederick Blitz is approved.
