Описание: Anthropologist and preservationist Robert S. Grumet has created this up-to-date, well-written overview of historic contact with Native Americans on the colonial frontier from a vast array of documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic data never assembled before. This is a definitive history of early Indian-white relations in an area extending from Virginia to Maine and from the Atlantic coast to the upper Ohio River. It will be read by specialists and Indian-studies buffs alike.Historic Contact divides native northeastern America into three subregions where the histories of thirty-four Indian Countries are described and mapped in detail, including all National Historic Landmarks. In the North Atlantic Region are the Eastern and Western Abenaki, Pocumtuck-Squakheag, Nipmuck, Pennacook-Pawtucket, Massachusett, Wampanoag, Narragansett, Mohegan-Pequot, Montauk, Lower Connecticut Valley, and Mahican Indian Countries; in the Middle Atlantic Region, the Munsee, Delaware, Nanticoke, Piscataway-Potomac, Powhatan, Nottoway-Meherrin, Upper Potomac-Shenandoah, Virginian Piedmont, Southern Appalachian Highlands, and lower Susquehanna Indian Countries; and in the Trans-Appalachian Region, the Mohawl, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Niagara-Erie, Upper Susquehanna, and Upper Ohio Indian Countries.Readers interested in Indian history and colonial America will value this basic reference, which originated as a National Historic landmarks Survey Theme Study. Federal agencies, state and local preservation officers, and Indian communities will use it as an excellent planning tool in making evaluations protection decisions.

Описание: Charles S. Newhall adds to his series of books on the plants of Northeastern America a very attractive volume on the Vines. This book is printed and bound with the characteristic clearness and good taste of the publishers, Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons, and will make a very useful addition to the library of every country or seaside house. From beginning to end the book is relieved of the heaviness and dullness of a scientific treatise by well-chosen quotations, verse and prose, and the absence of technical terms makes it available to every one whose eyes are open and whose interest in out-of-doors is such as to make a knowledge of the habits as well as of the names of plants desirable. By means of the three keys, or " Guides," based on the characters of leaves, flowers, and fruits, respectively, one can determine the name of any vine during any of the three seasons of the year when out-of-door objects are most likely to attract one's notice. The list of families and genera among which vines-Frail things, fair things, that creep and climb-are found furnishes an interesting basis for comparison: for instance, in the Crowfoot Family there is but one genus of plants which need support, namely, the favorite Clematis; in the Pea Family there are nine genera, in the Rose Family four, in the Lily Family but one, in the Fern Family one, in the Club-Moss Family one. Thus the list includes flowerless as well as flowering plants. But for any satisfactory comparison one must turn to the species rather than to families and genera, for there may be erect plants as well as vines in a genus. Such diversities as these suggest a variety of interesting questions, which the users of Mr. Newhall's book and others may ponder-as to why plants apparently closely related should behave so very differently, as to the advantages which accrue to the individuals, and to the species of plants, whose inherited tendencies and whose developed structures lead them into such different habits of life.No better idea of the general usefulness of the book can be given than by one suggestive paragraph: For some reason, perhaps because of its climbing habit and its inappropriate popular name of American Ivy, the Virginia Creeper is often feared as something poisonous. It climbs a tree trunk somewhat as does the Poison Ivy (Rhus radicans, I.), but it is easily distinguishable and is entirely harmless. One should remember that the Virginia Creeper has five finger-like leaflets that are suggestive of the fact that one's own five fingers can safely handle it; while the Poison Ivy has but three. Then follows a quotation from Darwin on the means by which the Virginia Creeper attaches itself to the flat or expanded surfaces which it selects as its supports.The book is "fully illustrated from original sketches." One cannot help wishing that these "sketches" were a little less sketchy and much more life-like, though it must be conceded that even such figures as these will greatly assist anyone who seeks to know the name of a vine before knowing more.Such books as this are a gratifying relief from the usual sort of "popular science."-The Literary World, Vol. 28 1897]* * * * *Mr. Charles S. Newhall, the author of those valuable volumes "The Trees of Northeastern America" and "The Shrubs of Northeastern America," has now given to the world the logical sequence of those books in The Vines of Northeastern America. No student of Mr. Newhall's pages can remain unconvinced that, in equal and sometimes larger measure than the trees and shrubs, the vines have a personality of their own. "The vines are all characters, even cranks, some of them; and the better we know them, the more of individuality they seem to have; and with it all, the better we like them." The book is one of signal interest and worth.-The Outlook, Volume 56 1897]
The global expansion of European colonization is commonly perceived as lawful according to the valid European colonial law of the time. This book is substantially challenging this belief by uncovering its legal justifications based on discovery and terra nullius as retrospectively created legal fictions and demonstrating it?s untenability in practice. Focused on the critical reconstruction of Spanish and Dutch colonization practices in northeastern South America, Trinidad and Tobago between 1498 and 1817, the book offers an illuminating view on the European shadow of the colonial past in the Americas. Based on the application of an innovative comparative spatio-legal Global History approach to 1,770 excavated European colonial written sources from archives of both sides of the Atlantic in comparison to the colonial legal provisions of Europe?s most influential legal writers, the book, moreover, provides a substantial argument to the contemporary Caribbean-European reparation debate in favor of the return of Indigenous Peoples? historical territories. Therefore, the book calls for the extension of the traditional territory approach to reparations of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIPs) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR).

Описание: This thesis presents geological, petrological, geochemical, and zircon U–Pb–Lu–Hf isotopic field data for representative Precambrian lithologies in the Western Liaoning-Northeastern Hebei Provinces along the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC). It describes late Neoarchean (2.64–2.48 Ga) supracrustal metavolcanic rocks and granitoid gneisses; late Paleoproterozoic (1.72–1.68 Ga) Jianping alkaline plutons and Pinggu alkaline volcanic rocks; and newly discovered ~1.23 Ga mafic dykes. The nature of magma sources and genesis of each magmatic episode are investigated, and the Precambrian (~2.6–1.2 Ga) lithospheric mantle evolution and crust-mantle interaction processes are established for the first time –aspects that provide important constraints in our understanding of the Precambrian crustal evolution and geodynamic processes in the region studied.

A groundbreaking guide to flower flies in North America
This is the first comprehensive field guide to the flower flies (also known as hover flies) of northeastern North America. Flower flies are, along with bees, our most important pollinators. Found in a varied range of habitats, from backyard gardens to aquatic ecosystems, these flies are often overlooked because many of their species mimic bees or wasps. Despite this, many species are distinctive and even subtly differentiated species can be accurately identified. This handy and informative guide teaches you how.
With more than 3,000 color photographs and 400 maps, this guide covers all 416 species of flower flies that occur north of Tennessee and east of the Dakotas, including the high Arctic and Greenland. Each species account provides information on size, identification, abundance, and flight time, along with notes on behavior, classification, hybridization, habitats, larvae, and more.
Summarizing the current scientific understanding of our flower fly fauna, this is an indispensable resource for anyone, amateur naturalist or scientist, interested in discovering the beauty of these insects.
- 3000+ color photos (field and museum shots)
- Multiple images per species, with arrows highlighting key field marks
- Grayscale images showing the actual size of the insect
- Range maps for each species
- Information on size, identification features, abundance, flight times, and more
