Abstract

Section 1 deals with surficial seafloor mapping and characterization. Sections 2 and 3 deal with fundamental geologic and oceanographic processes that introduce, transport, and deposit sediment particles and contaminants in the Southern California Bight. The remaining three sections investigate the impacts the geologic and oceanographic environments have on the human inhabitants in Southern California and the related impacts these inhabitants have on the environment.--From publisher description.

Abstract

As international development presents enormous moral, political and ethical challenges, so researching and understanding it requires negotiation of its contested contours. The chapters draw on research conducted around the world using a range of methodologies, perspectives and commitments, rooted in diverse disciplines. Through their exploration of the interrelationship of qualitative methodologies and development theory, policy and practice, the book demonstrates the importance of placing qualitative methodologies within their conceptual, practical and political contexts. It also highlights the important but contested contribution that qualitative methodology can make to not only understanding development, but engendering it. This book explores qualitative methodology and development in terms of the ways researchers negotiate boundaries and borders. It asks questions of development research, critiques relationships between researchers and subjects, and challenges connections between research and change. It demonstrates the importance of placing qualitative methods within their right context. This book series is available electronically online.

Abstract

In a completely new approach to borders and border crossing, this volume suggests a re-conceptualization of the nation in Southeast Asia. Choosing an actor approach, the individual chapters in this volume capture the narratives of minorities, migrants and refugees who inhabit and cross borders as part of their everyday life. They show that people are not only constrained by borders; the crossing of borders also opens up new options of agency. Making active use of these, border-crossing actors construct their own live projects on the border in multiple ways against the original intention of

Abstract

Cet ouvrage propose les premiers jalons d'une grille de lecture des mutations territoriales contemporaines qui bouleversent l'ordre et la hiérarchie territoriale de la première modernité. Si la mondialisation se manifeste par l'émergence de nouveaux territoires, ces derniers possèdent des caractéristiques inusuelles au regard des territoires séculaires et de l'ordre qui les instituait. Leurs limites sont floues, leur contenu est souvent fluide et peut ne .se référer qu'à un type de valeur, leur degré d'institutionnalisation peut être faible. De plus, leur validité d'exercice se fonde sur un nouveau rapport au temps. Hélène Velasco-Graciet propose de considérer que les territoires, anciens ou émergents, sont aujourd'hui tributaires des temporalités et des mobilités des individus contemporains alors que les territoires de la première modernité avaient, jusqu'à il y a peu, la force de l'institution qui les avait fait naître, et la légitimité du temps long. Le rapport des individus au monde semble, aujourd'hui, déterminé par un nouvel imaginaire géographique selon lequel l'expérience territoriale multiple devient la règle à atteindre. L'auteur interroge cette complexité territoriale à travers l'analyse de la « nouvelle planète des vins » qui apparaît exemplaire des recompositions territoriales contemporaines.

Abstract

"Although popularly conceived as a relatively recent phenomenon, patterns of immigrant smuggling and undocumented entry across American land borders first emerged in the late nineteenth century. Ingenious smugglers and immigrants, long and remote boundary lines, and strong push-and-pull factors created porous borders then, much as they do now.Historian Patrick Ettinger offers the first comprehensive historical study of evolving border enforcement efforts on American land borders at the turn of the twentieth century. He traces the origins of widespread immigrant smuggling and illicit entry on the northern and southern United States borders at a time when English, Irish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Lebanese, Japanese, Greek, and, later, Mexican migrants created various 'backdoors' into the United States. No other work looks so closely at the sweeping, if often ineffectual, innovations in federal border enforcement practices designed to stem these flows.From upstate Maine to Puget Sound, from San Diego to the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, federal officials struggled to adapt national immigration policies to challenging local conditions, all the while battling wits with resourceful smugglers and determined immigrants. In effect, the period saw the simultaneous 'drawing' and 'erasing' of the official border, and its gradual articulation and elaboration in the midst of consistently successful efforts to undermine it."- from Amazon.com
