Abstract

Part armchair travelogue, part guide book, this projected three-volume series-divided into the western, central, and eastern United States-will introduce readers to all 155 national forests across the country. This Land is the only comprehensive field guide that describes the natural features, wildernesses, scenic drives, campgrounds, and hiking trails of our national forests, many of which-while little known and sparsely visited-boast features as spectacular as those found in our national parks and monuments. Each entry includes logistical information about size and location, facilities, attractions, and associated wilderness areas. For about half of the forests, Robert H. Mohlenbrock has provided sidebars on the biological or geological highlights, drawn from the "This Land" column that he has written for Natural History magazine since 1984. Superbly illustrated with color photographs, botanical drawings, and maps, this book is loaded with information, clearly written, and easy to use. This volume covers national forests in: Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming

Abstract

In The Chicano Generation, veteran Chicano civil rights scholar Mario T. García provides a rare look inside the struggles of the 1960's and 1970's as they unfolded in Los Angeles. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with three key activists, this book illuminates the lives of Raul Ruiz, Gloria Arellanes, and Rosalio Muñoz-their family histories and widely divergent backgrounds; the events surrounding their growing consciousness as Chicanos; the sexism encountered by Arellanes; and the aftermath of their political histories. In his substantial introduction, García situates the Chicano movement in Los Angeles and contextualizes activism within the largest civil rights and empowerment struggle by Mexican Americans in US history-a struggle that featured César Chávez and the farm workers, the student movement highlighted by the 1968 LA school blowouts, the Chicano antiwar movement, the organization of La Raza Unida Party, the Chicana feminist movement, the organizing of undocumented workers, and the Chicano Renaissance.  Weaving this revolution against a backdrop of historic Mexican American activism from the 1930's to the 1960's and the contemporary black power and black civil rights movements, García gives readers the best representations of the Chicano generation in Los Angeles.

Abstract

This comprehensive illustrated volume provides a new approach for understanding developmental defects of the axial skeleton, and furnishes support for the interpretation of developmental field defects in the study of prehistoric and contemporary populations/ Using data from clinical medicine, genetics, embryology and physical anthropology, Ethne Barnes presents a morphogenetic explanation for describing, deciphering, and classifying disturbances in normal skeletal development. This allows new interpretations of previously studied skeletal collections, such as the prehistoric Tewa of the Pajarito Plateau. Application of this newly developed morphogenetic approach allows researchers to describe the occurrence and risk of developmental defects in past populations, to deciphering underlying genetic relationships to help understand the development of the variations of human skeletal defects, and to provide clues to cultural and environmental factors affecting the development of defects. Developmental defects of the Axial Skeleton Paleopathology is an important resource for physical anthropologists, paleopathologists, physicians concerned with skeletal biology, orthopedists, and medical libraries. It should stimulate additional applications of the methodology and create new avenues for further research possibilities.

Abstract

In 1863 the Dine began receiving medical care from the federal government during their confinement at Bosque Redondo. Over the next ninety years, a familiar litany of problems surfaced in periodic reports on Navajo health care: inadequate funding, understaffing, and the unrelenting spread of such communicable diseases as tuberculosis. In 1955 Congress transferred medical care from the Indian Bureau to the Public Health Service. The Dine accepted some aspects of western medicine, but during the nineteenth century most government physicians actively worked to destroy age-old healing practices. Only in the 1930s did doctors begin to work with - rather than oppose - traditional healers. Medicine men associated illness with the supernatural and the disruption of nature's harmony. Indian service doctors familiar with Navajo culture eventually came to accept the value of traditional medicine as an important companion to the scientific-based methods of the western world.
