Book Synopsis Utah in the Twentieth Century by : Brian Q. Cannon
Download or read book Utah in the Twentieth Century written by Brian Q. Cannon and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth could easily be Utah’s most interesting, complex century, yet popular ideas of what is history seem mired in the nineteenth. One reason may be the lack of readily available writing on more recent Utah history. This collection of essays shifts historical focus forward to the twentieth, which began and ended with questions of Utah’s fit with the rest of the nation. In between was an extended period of getting acquainted in an uneasy but necessary marriage, which was complicated by the push of economic development and pull of traditional culture, demand for natural resources from a fragile and scenic environment, and questions of who governs and how, who gets a vote, and who controls what is done on and to the contested public lands. Outside trade and a tourist economy increasingly challenged and fed an insular society. Activists left and right declaimed constitutional liberties while Utah’s Native Americans become the last enfranchised in the nation. Proud contributions to national wars contrasted with denial of deep dependence on federal money; the skepticism of provocative writers, with boosters eager for growth; and reflexive patriotism somehow bonded to ingrained distrust of federal government.
Download or read book On Zion’s Mount written by Jared Farmer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrouded in the lore of legendary Indians, Mt. Timpanogos beckons the urban populace of Utah. And yet, no “Indian” legend graced the mount until Mormon settlers conjured it—once they had displaced the local Indians, the Utes, from their actual landmark, Utah Lake. On Zion’s Mount tells the story of this curious shift. It is a quintessentially American story about the fraught process of making oneself “native” in a strange land. But it is also a complex tale of how cultures confer meaning on the environment—how they create homelands. Only in Utah did Euro-American settlers conceive of having a homeland in the Native American sense—an endemic spiritual geography. They called it “Zion.” Mormonism, a religion indigenous to the United States, originally embraced Indians as “Lamanites,” or spiritual kin. On Zion’s Mount shows how, paradoxically, the Mormons created their homeland at the expense of the local Indians—and how they expressed their sense of belonging by investing Timpanogos with “Indian” meaning. This same pattern was repeated across the United States. Jared Farmer reveals how settlers and their descendants (the new natives) bestowed “Indian” place names and recited pseudo-Indian legends about those places—cultural acts that still affect the way we think about American Indians and American landscapes.

Download or read book The Family in the New Millennium written by Thomas B. Holman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-12-30 with total page 1345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable team of contributors based across 19 countries explores and explains events worldwide affecting the natural family—married father and mother with biological children —detailing concepts and benefits of natural family that have been taken for granted across centuries, but are now being challenged in many ways. These scholars—many admittedly taking stands that may be deemed politically incorrect—conclude that natural family is being threatened, and is vital to provide common ground among all societies, cultures and religious traditions. Psychologists, sociologists, economists, theologians, lawyers, health care professionals and award-winning journalists are among the chapter authors, as are Nobel Prize Laureate Gary Becker, U.S. Department of Health Assistant Secretary for Children and Families Wade Horn, and former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Bin Mohamad. Whether or not you agree with their arguments, science and conclusions, you'll want to know what these influential figures are saying. Addressing many lightning-rod issues, from divorce and abortion to euthanasia and same-sex marriage, writers here span the world from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to Australia, Turkey, India, and China. Intellectuals included are associated with institutions from Brigham Young University, Georgetown School of Medicine and the Boston College School of Law, to the University of Geneva, and the Maxim Institute in New Zealand.

Book Synopsis A History of Utah's American Indians by : Forrest Cuch
Download or read book A History of Utah's American Indians written by Forrest Cuch and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of the six Native American tribes of Utah, from an Indigenous perspective. The valleys, mountains, and deserts of Utah have been home to native peoples for thousands of years. Like peoples around the word, Utah’s native inhabitants organized themselves in family units, groups, bands, clans, and tribes. Today, six Indian tribes in Utah are recognized as official entities. They include the Northwestern Shoshone, the Goshutes, the Paiutes, the Utes, the White Mesa or Southern Utes, and the Navajos (Dineh). Each tribe has its own government. Tribe members are citizens of Utah and the United States; however, lines of distinction both within the tribes and with the greater society at large have not always been clear. Migration, interaction, war, trade, intermarriage, common threats, and other challenges have made relationships and affiliations more fluid than might be expected. In this volume, the editor and contributors endeavor to write the history of Utah’s first residents from an Indian perspective. An introductory chapter provides an overview of Utah’s American Indians and a concluding chapter summarizes the issues and concerns of contemporary Indians and their leaders. Chapters on each of the six tribes look at origin stories, religion, politics, education, folkways, family life, social activities, economic issues, and important events. They provide an introduction to the rich heritage of Utah’s native peoples. This book includes chapters by David Begay, Dennis Defa, Clifford Duncan, Ronald Holt, Nancy Maryboy, Robert McPherson, Mae Parry, Gary Tom, and Mary Jane Yazzie. This book is a joint project of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs and the Utah State Historical Society. It is distributed to the book trade by Utah State University Press.

Book excerpt: Reid L. Neilson provides the first examination of Latter-day Saint participation in the 1893 Columbian Exposition, which was a watershed moment in the Mormon migration to the American mainstream and its leadership's discovery of public relations efforts, and marked the dramatic reengagement of the LDS Church with the outside, non-Mormon world after decades of isolation in America's Great Basin desert.
Download or read book The Abstract Wild written by Jack Turner and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If anything is endangered in America it is our experience of wild nature—gross contact. There is knowledge only the wild can give us, knowledge specific to it, knowledge specific to the experience of it. These are its gifts to us. How wild is wilderness and how wild are our experiences in it, asks Jack Turner in the pages of The Abstract Wild. His answer: not very wild. National parks and even so-called wilderness areas fall far short of offering the primal, mystic connection possible in wild places. And this is so, Turner avows, because any managed land, never mind what it's called, ceases to be wild. Moreover, what little wildness we have left is fast being destroyed by the very systems designed to preserve it. Natural resource managers, conservation biologists, environmental economists, park rangers, zoo directors, and environmental activists: Turner's new book takes aim at these and all others who labor in the name of preservation. He argues for a new conservation ethic that focuses less on preserving things and more on preserving process and "leaving things be." He takes off after zoos and wilderness tourism with a vengeance, and he cautions us to resist language that calls a tree "a resource" and wilderness "a management unit." Eloquent and fast-paced, The Abstract Wild takes a long view to ask whether ecosystem management isn't "a bit of a sham" and the control of grizzlies and wolves "at best a travesty." Next, the author might bring his readers up-close for a look at pelicans, mountain lions, or Shamu the whale. From whatever angle, Turner stirs into his arguments the words of dozens of other American writers including Thoreau, Hemingway, Faulkner, and environmentalist Doug Peacock. We hunger for a kind of experience deep enough to change our selves, our form of life, writes Turner. Readers who take his words to heart will find, if not their selves, their perspectives on the natural world recast in ways that are hard to ignore and harder to forget.

Download or read book Chirotheres written by Hendrik Klein and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive in detail and worldwide in scope, Chirotheres is the definitive compendium of what is known about the five-toed footprints of Triassic archosaurs, ancestors of the crocodiles. Sandstone slabs with extensive trackways have been known for almost two centuries and are highlights in museum exhibits around the globe. These trackways provide direct insight into the locomotion and behavior of the fascinating reptiles that made these tracks, and, together with known skeletons, they allow a richer reconstruction of chirothere lifestyle than is possible from bones alone. Written by expert researchers in the fields of vertebrate ichnology, vertebrate paleontology, and scientific illustration, Chirotheres explores the various facets of chirothere research including the history of their study, footprint formation and preservation, the bone record, the environment and lifestyle of chirotheres, and finally, their disappearance at the end of the Triassic. Chirotheres also features a global compendium of track collections with chirothere material, including specimen numbers, detailed phylogenetic definitions of track makers, and extensive measurements from key chirothere tracks and trackways. It represents an invaluable resource of anyone interested in these ancient animals.

Book Synopsis Design in the New Millennium by : National Academy of Engineering
Download or read book Design in the New Millennium written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is changing. Many of the most noticeable changes in day-to-day life are associated with the advancing capabilities of computer systems, the growing variety of tasks they can accomplish, and the accelerating rate of change. Advanced engineering environments (AEEs) combine advanced, networked computer systems with advanced modeling and simulation technologies. When more fully developed, AEEs will enable teams of researchers, technologists, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, customers, and other users scattered across a continent or the globe to develop new products and carry out new missions with unprecedented effectiveness. Business as usual, however, will not achieve this vision. Government, industry, and academic organizations need to make the organizational and process changes that will enable their staffs to use current and future AEE technologies and systems. Design in the New Millennium: Advanced Engineering Environments: Phase 2 is the second part of a two-part study of advanced engineering environments. The Phase 1 report, issued in 1999, identified steps the federal government, industry, and academia could take in the near term to enhance the development of AEE technologies and systems with broad application in the U.S. engineering enterprise. Design in the New Millennium focuses on the long-term potential of AEE technologies and systems over the next 15 years. This report calls on government, industry, and academia to make major changes to current organizational cultures and practices to achieve a long-term vision that goes far beyond what current capabilities allow.
Book Synopsis Glaucoma in the New Millennium by : Jonathan D. Nussdorf
Download or read book Glaucoma in the New Millennium written by Jonathan D. Nussdorf and published by Kugler Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 50th annual symposium of the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology was held from April 6th – 8th, 2001. This was the Academy’s ninth meeting devoted to glaucoma and consisted of formal lectures, round table discussions, and workshop presentations. The New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology maintains a strong tradition of providing the ophthalmologist with a venue for learning from exceptional mentors and innovative leaders. Inspection of the list of Academy meetings pertaining to glaucoma will highlight the fact that we have been privileged to have outstanding contributors and notable repeat performers (Appendix 1). The first symposium of this Academy was held in 1952 and, with its focus on glaucoma, the contributors were Sir Stewart Duke-Elder, Paul A. Chandler, MD, and Peter C. Kronfeld, MD. The first three lectures from that 1952 meeting were presented by Sir Stewart Duke-Elder and are published for the first time, from a copy of the original transcript, in this collection of papers. I think you will find his discussion of ‘simple’ and ‘congestive’ glaucoma enlightening and instructive. The Program Committee chairpersons, Claude F. Burgoyne, MD and Katherine Loftfield, MD, were instrumental in putting together a strong assembly of contributors and a well-balanced meeting. Special acknowledgment for their hard work in organizing this symposium goes to committee members Rameish Ayyala, MD, Annemarie Etienne, MD, Kenneth Haik, MD, Jill B. Koury, MD, and Daniel A. Long, MD, and to executive secretaries, Emily Busby and Amber Howell. For his dedicated and thoughtful leadership, much appreciation is given to the president of the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology, 2000-2002, George S. Ellis, Jr, MD, and to the board of directors. The Academy acknowledges its sponsors for providing unrestricted financial support, which helped to defer the expense of this medical education meeting and subsequent publication. Special thanks go to Peter Bakker at Kugler Publications for his guidance and wisdom, as well as his unending support for the task of publishing this glaucoma specialty symposium. The contributors to this symposium on glaucoma are outstanding. They provided chapters covering a wide range of issues that confront the general ophthalmologist, as well as the glaucoma specialist. Due to an unfortunate circumstance, Chris A. Johnson, PhD, was unable to attend the meeting; however, he was gracious enough to provide his written contribution, which is included in this compilation of papers. You will find that the lectures, round table discussions, and workshop sessions are filled with pearls of wisdom that will help guide you toward a modern, common sense approach in addressing the special needs of your glaucoma patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK PREDICTED COLUMBIA DISASTER.. NASA New Millennium Problems and Solutions is a wake up call about the dire conditions of the U.S. space transportation program. NASAs management philosophy of faster, better, cheaper has resulted in the Agency trying to do, too much... with too little... too fast. The space programs momentum has been eroded by NASAs numerous project failures, cost overruns, and mismanagement. NASAs space transportation operations have been compromised to the point where serious safety conditions exist. Astronauts, ground personnel, and even the general public are exposed to unsafe flight operations. This book examines the following daunting questions: Why isnt the Space Shuttle safe? Why doesnt the Space Shuttle have a crew escape system? What happened to NASAs commercial Space Shuttle? Will the International Space Station be worth the cost? Was the X-33/VentureStar launch project a $1 billion blunder? Are the proposed X-33 population over-flight tests safe? Will the human exploration of Mars be postponed for decades? Is there light at the end of this dark tunnel? This book gives the reader with an insiders knowledge of decisions that have placed the future of the U.S. space transportation programs in grave peril. It is a compelling reading for the space enthusiast, the aerospace professional community, those seeking aerospace careers, and political supporters and opponents of the space program.
