Several introductory, narrative chapters discuss the development of modern mapping in China and various mapping activities of the six other countries. The major portion of the document is an annotated listing of map selections from the 20th century. Arrangement is by country. Within each country's section, the map entries are listed alphabetically by agencies and then according to scale. Each map listing includes such information as reliefs, boundaries, hydrography, transportation, cities and towns, and vegetation. Size, number of pages, translation, and general coverage are also included in the general annotations where appropriate. Several appendices conclude the document.

OCCASIONAL PAPiii(NO: 4' CHINA IN MAPS 1890-1960: A SELECTIVE AND ANNOTATED CARTOBIBLIOGRAPHY By JACK F. WILLIAMS FALL, 1974 Published by Asian Studies Center Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 3 PREFACE This study and cartobibliography of modern mapping in China was originally written as a master's degree thesis, titled, "China In Maps, 1890-1960:A Selective and Annotated Cartobibliography," in the Department of Geography at the University of Washington, Seattle. In the intervening years, numerous individuals and organizations have requested copies of the study, which could be supplied only in expensive dry copy form. Continued requests for copies prompted me to approach the Asian .Studies Center at Michigan Star: University to publish the study under its East Asia Series of Occasional Papers. The Center kindly agreed to the proposal, and I wish to express my gratitude to them for making this study finally available in an inexpensive soft-cover volume. Some changes have been made in the original format and content of the study. The textual material has been edited and rewritten in places to bring it up to date, particularly the discussion of China's own efforts in modern mapping activities since 1949. The map annotations and index maps have been rearranged in a format that should make it easier for the reader to quickly find any map entry. No new map entries have been added, however, because of the impossibility of rechecking th,?.. map collections of the various libraries and organizations investigated in the original study. Besides, to the best of my knowledge, there have been no major changes since 1960 in the status of map coverage of China available in this country. It is important for the reader to keep in mind, how- ever, that this study does not deal with maps of China published in books and periodicals. The best source for such maps is the American Geographical Society's Index to Maps in Books and Periodicals (Map Department, AGS, 1968, published by G. D. Hall & Co.). J. F. Williams East Lansing, Michigan October, 1974 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Space does not permit thanking each and every individual who madea contribution to this study in the form of assistance, information,and advice. Many persons in numerous government agencies, both in the UnitedStates and 2broad, were of great help in tracking down often elusivedata about mapping in and of China, in offering advice, encouragement, and helpfulcriticism. To all of them z express my sincere gratitude. Particular thanks go to the staff of themap library at the Army Map Service for the valuable information they suppliedas well as for granting me access to their facilities, to the staff at the National Archives,to officials at the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, to the staffof the U.S. Geological Service Library, to the staff of themap library at the National Geographic Society. My sincere thanks also to Robert J. Voskuil for his encouragement. To Walter W. Ristow and the entire staff of the Map Divisionat the Library of Congress must go spedial thanks. Since the bulk of the research for this study was done in the Map Division, a successful completion wouldnever have been possible without their kind cooperation and assistanceat all times. To Dr. John C. Sherman, Chairman of the Department of Geographyat the University of Washington, goes my greatest thanks, for his constantencourage- ment, advice, and assistance throughout the course of this study. My thanks also go to members of the Department of Geographyat the Univer- sity of Washington for their helpful criticism and assistance, especiallyto Everett A. Wingert for his technical assistance in the preparation of the index maps. Finally, appreciation goes to Marilyn Wilcox of the Asian StvdiesCenter at Michigan State University for typing and preparing the manuscript for printing. iii CONTENTS Part I CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1 I.

Richards ABSTRACT The Army‘s Geospatial Enterprise (AGE) has an emerging identity and value proposition arising from the need to synchronize geospatial information activities across the Army in order to deliver value to military decision makers. Recently, there have been significant efforts towards increasing the capability of the enterprise to create value for its diverse stakeholder base, ranging from the warfighter, to early stage research and development. The AGE has many architectural alternatives to consider as it embarks upon geospatial transformation within the Army, each of these alternatives must deliver value through an increasingly wide range of operating environments characterized by the uncertainty of both future technology and the evolution of future operations. This research focuses on understanding how the Army‘s geospatial foundation data layers propagate through the battlefield and enable well informed tactical decisions.

  • RESOURCES Forgotten Battles, Forgotten Maps
    79 RESOURCES Forgotten Battles, Forgotten Maps: Resources for Reconstructing Historical Topographical Intelligence Using Army Map Service Materials John M. Anderson opographical intelligence is the information gathered about terrain, facilities, and transportation networks in enemy territory.1 This in- Tformation, collected to aid in military operations, remains a noble cartographic resource that historical geographers can use in a variety of ways. One map collection based on topographical intelligence languishes underused and underappreciated in many university map libraries. Falling somewhere between the glorious old maps and the newest digital cartographic products are the venerable United States Army Map Service (AMS) materials. This essay will briefly discuss the history of the AMS and how its materi- als became available in library collections. This essay also will explain topo- graphical intelligence’s importance and present the results of a survey of an AMS map collection that identified map series with high potential as research sources. Finally, it will present the locations of AMS map collections and work- ing aids for interpreting the material. Army Map Service—Background Although the American military did not have a centralized system for producing and distributing maps at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, the U.S. Army was addressing wartime map requirements before 1941. During 1940 and 1941, the Engineer Reproduction Plant, the AMS’s predecessor, concentrated on printing topographic maps depicting Army camps and ma- neuver areas.

  • Questioning the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
    Questioning the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution The Plan As the 1964 presidential elections approached, President Johnson (Democrat) saw the need for a congressional resolution that would endorse the growing US involvement in Vietnam. Such a resolution would strengthen the president’s credibility, and would make him look tough on Communism at a time when his challenger Republican Barry Goldwater was criticizing LBJ for being soft. Accordingly, LBJ decided to wait for North Vietnamese provocation before sending his request to Congress. However, it is VERY significant that both the request was written prior to any provoking incident, as well as plans to attack North Vietnam. The Incident According to LBJ According to the public announcements of President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, twice in two days the North Vietnamese had attacked U.S. warships “on routine patrol in international waters,” and engaged in a “deliberate” pattern of “naked aggression”; evidence of both attacks was “unequivocal,” and these had been unprovoked.” According to Johnson and McNamara, the United States would respond in order to deter future attacks but was planning no wider war. The Request This lesson invites students to travel back to August 1964 and to imagine that they were members of Congress when the Johnson administration proposed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. It asks them to practice critical thinking. Divide into groups and imagine that you are members of Congress when this resolution was introduced in 1964. Your assignment is to come up with at least 5 critical questions that you would have wanted fully answered before you voted on the resolution.

  • Confessional Peculiarity of Chinese Islam Nurzat M
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 15, 7906-7915 OPEN ACCESS Confessional Peculiarity of Chinese Islam Nurzat M. Mukana, Sagadi B. Bulekbayeva, Ainura D. Kurmanaliyevaa, Sultanmurat U. Abzhalova and Bekzhan B. Meirbayeva aAl-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT This paper considers features of Islam among Muslim peoples in China. Along with the traditional religions of China - Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam influenced noticeable impact on the formation of Chinese civilization. The followers of Islam have a significant impact on ethno-religious, political, economic and cultural relations of the Chinese society. Ethno-cultural heterogeneity of Chinese Islam has defined its confessional identity. The peculiarity of Chinese Islam is determined, firstly, with its religious heterogeneity. In China there all three main branches of Islam: Sunnism, Shiism, and Sufism. Secondly, the unique nature of Chinese Islam is defined by close relationship with the traditional religions of China (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) and Chinese population folk beliefs. Chinese Islam has incorporated many specific feat ures of the traditional religious culture of China, which heavily influenced on the religious consciousness and religious activities of Chinese Muslims. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Chinese Muslims, history of Islam, confessional Received 21 March 2016 heterogeneity, Islamic branches, religions of China Revised 05 June 2016 Accepted 19 June 2016 Introduction Political and ethno-cultural processes taking place in contemporary Chinese society lead us to a deeper study of the religious history of China (Ho et al., 2014). Along with the traditional religions of China - Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam influenced noticeable impact on the formation of Chinese civilization (Tsin, 2009; Erie & Carlson, 2014; Gulfiia, Parfilova & Karimova, 2016).

  • India’S Disputed Borderland Regions: Xinjiang, Tibet, Kashmir and the Indian Northeast
    COMPARING CHINA AND INDIA’S DISPUTED BORDERLAND REGIONS: XINJIANG, TIBET, KASHMIR AND THE INDIAN NORTHEAST INTRODUCTION: India and China are seen as the rising giants on the Asiatic mainland today. After the East Asian miracle or miracle of the Asian Tiger economies of the mid-nineties, attention has shifted from the peripheral parts of the Asia Pacific, towards the Asiatic mainland, mainly towards India and China. Both countries have been experiencing impressive economic growth rates since they opened up their economies and exposed their domestic markets to international competition. China opened up its markets in the late seventies, and India opened up its markets in the early nineties. Before the seventies, both economies were by and large protectionist, and had a sluggish economic growth rate. Now, of course, both countries are seen as exciting economic destinations for international investors due to their adventurous markets, which western investors feel the need to tap into and exploit. India, of course, also has the additional prestige of being the world’s largest democracy. However, one area that still remains quite under researched, or at least gets side-lined due to all the talk on economic growth and development is the political situation and the on-going conflicts in the borderland regions of these two emerging powers. Having an understanding of the political situation in the borderland regions is important because if the situation ever blows out of proportion, this could potentially have an adverse impact on the economy, which indirectly impacts on our lives in the west, since western governments have invested so much money in these two countries.

One of the most shocking things they found was that 46.4% of those polled still believed that Saddam Hussein played a role in the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11th, 2001. No evidence had ever emerged linking him to it after 5 years of war in Iraq, but that did not matter, as “voters, once deceived, tend to stay that way despite all evidence.” Botched initial reporting can permanently entrench false information into the public’s mind and influence them ot come to faulty conclusions as a result. This power of first impressions gives journalists an immense and solemn responsibility when conveying events.
