Download or read book Paradise Plundered written by Steven P. Erie and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early 21st century has not been kind to California's reputation for good government. But the Golden State's governance flaws reflect worrisome national trends with origins in the 1970s and 1980s. Growing voter distrust with government, a demand for services but not taxes to pay for them, a sharp decline in enlightened leadership and effective civic watchdogs, and dysfunctional political institutions have all contributed to the current governance malaise. Until recently, San Diego, California—America's 8th largest city—seemed immune to such systematic governance disorders. This sunny beach town entered the 1990s proclaiming to be "America's Finest City," but in a few short years its reputation went from "Futureville" to "Enron-by-the-Sea." In this eye-opening and telling narrative, Steven P. Erie, Vladimir Kogan, and Scott A. MacKenzie mix policy analysis, political theory, and history to explore and explain the unintended but largely predictable failures of governance in San Diego. Using untapped primary sources—interviews with key decision makers and public documents—and benchmarking San Diego with other leading California cities, Paradise Plundered examines critical dimensions of San Diego's governance failure: a multi-billion dollar pension deficit; a chronic budget deficit; inadequate city services and infrastructure; grandiose planning initiatives divorced from dire fiscal realities; an insulated downtown redevelopment program plagued by poorly-crafted public-private partnerships; and, for the metropolitan region, inadequate airport and port facilities, a severe underinvestment in firefighting capacity despite destructive wildfires, and heightened Mexican border security concerns. Far from a sunny story of paradise and prosperity, this account takes stock of an important but understudied city, its failed civic leadership, and poorly performing institutions, policymaking, and planning. Though the extent of these failures may place San Diego in a league of its own, other cities are experiencing similar challenges and political changes. As such, this tale of civic woe offers valuable lessons for urban scholars, practitioners, and general readers concerned about the future of their own cities.

Book excerpt: Filipinos have been a part of the history of the United States and San Diego for over 400 years. The Manila-Acapulco galleon trade ships included Filipinos on sailing expeditions to California, including the port of San Diego. After the Philippines became a territory of the United States in 1898, many Filipinos began immigrating to San Diego. The community grew rapidly, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s. After World War II, Filipino veterans returned with their war brides and the community began to build further. The Immigration Act of 1965 increased Filipino immigration into San Diego to include military personnel, especially those enlisted in the U.S. Navy, as well as professionals. Today Filipino Americans are the largest Asian American ethnic group in San Diego.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in optical engineering. This curriculum has been developed and refined for a decade and a half at the University of Arizona’s College of Optical Sciences. Polarized Light and Optical Systems provides a reference for the optical engineer and optical designer in issues related to building polarimeters, designing displays, and polarization critical optical systems. The central theme of Polarized Light and Optical Systems is a unifying treatment of polarization elements as optical elements and optical elements as polarization elements.

CHAPTER I THE SPANISH DISCOVERERS Sailing from Natividad in Mexico, then already a substantial unit in the vast colonial empire which had been put under the proud flag of Spain, Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo brought two little ships into San Diego harbor in September, 1542. And these two clumsy little boats, as far as the pages of history reveal, brought to the shores of California the first white men, the first Europeans, to set foot on the soil of what is now the Golden State of the Union. Columbus had made his discovery of America just 50 years before; the proud Balboa had waded into the waters of the Pacific and claimed the ocean for the king forty-two years before; Cortez had long before started his conquest of Mexico; more than a score of vears had elapsed since Magellan had pushed through the straits which bear his name; the Dominion of Spain had been extended over a vast expanse of a continent new to Europe; gold-seekers, soldiers of fortune, hardy mariners had pushed on for new conquests. As Cabrillo's little craft struggled against wind and sea on their way into the unchartered waters to the north, the tattered, hungry, discouraged survivors of the proud band that had set out with De Soto and had crossed to the Mississippi in search of a new El Dorado were fighting their way back to Mexico. Such were some of the settings of the period. Cabrillo, like Magellan, was a Portuguese, but in the service of Spain, whose rulers hired whom they best could to do the work of carrying on further the flag of that proud nation, then at about the zenith of its power. The little ships which he commanded were the San Salvador and the Victoria. It seems almost a miracle in these days that men could conquer the perils of the sea in such craft as...
