云南东川寻红记

正千万别把云南东川当成顺便游玩的一站,想饱览这片红土的赤色波澜,就得在各村庄辗转,在蜿蜒山路上步行,在清晨黄昏被冻得瑟瑟发抖……是有些艰辛,美景得来不易。冬日追"红"路如果对大自然浓烈饱和的色彩有兴趣,去云南东川看红土地就对了。从昆明驱车向北200多公里,大巴平稳行进,我抱着平板看剧看得昏天黑地。几小时后,景色开始变化,车窗把隐约红绿相间的景色分隔开,像山野里的小画。大巴进入东川后开始颠簸,传统意义上的红土地,甚至不在城镇边缘,就在乡村。土地已经开始变红,群居特性

Searching for good practice in postgraduate education

Regional geography courses have declined in status and number at many North American universities. Yet it is regional courses which students with limited geographical education at the high school level may identify as typical geography, and thus regional courses may play a significant role in recruitment of geography majors. Regional courses on the students' country or state/province offer an excellent opportunity to showcase how geographic perspectives can enrich our understanding of the familiar, both in terms of place and discipline. This paper discusses the pivotal role a regional geography course has been given in a new university's geography curriculum, and the innovative structuring of the course so as to avoid some of the deficiencies of common instructional patterns which may deter some students from pursuing further geographic education.     

Searching for Nineteenth-Century Farm Tenants: An Evaluation of Methods

Abstract

In tandem with a recent surge in interest in lynching in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, researchers in a number of fields have begun to use lynching data in new ways for a wide range of empirical investigations. A limited number of historical national lynching data series are available, have well-known flaws, and are nonetheless used. This article analyzes and compares these series, summarizes recent efforts to address their shortcomings, and identifies extensions that could aid in the construction a national database of confirmed lynching victims, whose broader applications are just beginning to be explored.

Behavioural archaeology and refuse patterns: A case study

This paper examines the association and distribution of different classes of refuse around a late Iron Age and Roman settlement in Essex, England. It is shown, for instance, that bone and pottery refuse from the eating of meals was distributed differently from that deriving from food preparation. Some conclusions are then drawn about activity variation within the settlement. Clearly, this approach can extract a great wealth of information from extensively excavated settlements, but it is also argued that similar studies are both feasible and necessary for small‐scale, rescue excavations.     

Neanderthal settlement patterns in Crimea: A landscape approach

Traditional settlement pattern analysis involves classifying sites within a region using previously established functional categories. Faunal and lithic data are frequently combined as archaeological indicators of site function. The results are interpreted in terms of a settlement system from which inferences about mobility patterns and social organization are drawn. The previously published site of Karabi Tamchin is used here as a spring-point for a discussion of the problems inherent with established site typologies and some of the settlement models that have been proposed in the past. The rich Middle Paleolithic archaeological record of Crimea is used to demonstrate the usefulness of the landscape approach as a means of supplementing existing information about Middle Paleolithic settlement patterns.

Religious Appropriation of National Symbols in Iran: Searching for Cyrus the Great

In this article I examine the debate over the character of Cyrus the Great in Iran during the last four decades, using it as a prism to view the struggle over the desired balance between religious and ethnic components of Iranian identity. Heated polemics over the historical figure of Cyrus and his legacy reveal undercurrents of Iranian identity dilemmas as well as different and conflicting views of Iranian identity. Beyond a mere historical or religious controversy, the debate over the “right” memory of Cyrus presents an interesting case of shifting emphasis on identity and sources of political inspiration in Iranian society from the late 1960s to the present. Moreover, putting the debate over the ancient king in perspective, there emerges a wider picture of religious adaptation and embrace of what once seemed pagan or secular.     

寻访西藏最美温泉

温泉是大自然赐予人类宝贵的礼物,而西藏自治区境内地热资源丰富,温泉数量居国内第一,青藏高原的隆起也是因为强烈的地壳运动,并拥有众多火山群。据中国科学院2000年出版的《西藏温泉志》记载,该书共录入了西藏地区677处温泉,并拥有间歇性喷泉、沸泉等种类多样化的温泉。我一直坚信藏区也会有非常漂亮并与美国黄石公园极其类似的温泉,并开始了此次寻找的旅程。
