I also dedicate this book to my ancestors from my mother’s side, who for centuries were able to move from Spain to Mexico and loved both countries in their hearts. This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit. I hope that contemporary researchers share their knowledge and open their minds and hearts, valuing what other researchers do whatever their language or nation, as some academics have done for me. Love and wisdom have no language, nationality, or gender.

Ben lifts the camcorder to the record the action. Enrique jams the down the throttle down, and with a loud RAOR, the speedboat shoots forward. Soon the boat is whipping across the rolling ocean. Strapped together, Ben and Eric lean back over the passing water, intently watching for Enrique's signal. As the boat picks up speed, Enrique eyes the speedometer. Ben grabs the end of the RIPCORD attached to the harness. He and Eric braces themselves. Enrique finally signals with a pulling motion.

  • Toward a Conceptual Framework for Assessing the Human Dimensions of Paleontological Resources
    Sullivan, R.M. and Lucas, S.G., eds., 2016, Fossil Record 5. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 74. 239 TOWARD A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES VINCENT L. SANTUCCI¹, PETER NEWMAN² and B. DERRICK TAFF² 1National Park Service, 1201 Eye Street NW., Washington, D.C. 20005; -email: [email protected] 2The Pennsylvania State University, 801 Ford Building, University Park, PA 16802 Abstract—Dinosaurs and other fossils capture the imagination of people of all ages from around the globe. An assessment of the wide range of human values associated with paleontological resources reveals strong and sometimes conflicting perspectives. Given the fact that fossils are non-renewable resources, decision-making relative to the use, conservation and stewardship of paleontological resources must recognize and consider the human dimensions of fossils. Scientific, educational, recreational, commercial and other human values may directly influence the motivations and behaviors of individuals as they relate to paleontological resources. The unauthorized collection of fossils from public lands, including theft and vandalism, entails a variety of legal, ethical, economic and social factors that need to be assessed in conjunction with the planning and implementation of public policy. The purpose of this review is to initiate the compilation of baseline information on the human dimensions of paleontological resources in order to develop a conceptual framework and more clearly identify the most crucial questions to address in future research. INTRODUCTION and others to better understand and implement effective strategies for A fundamental topic in paleontology that has garnered little the enjoyment, use, management and stewardship of non-renewable attention is an evaluation of the values that humans ascribe to fossils.

  • You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.
