Human impacts are local, varying significantly over small scales of space and time. Geographical differentiation of impacts between sites separated by a few tens of meters can have significant and enduring consequences. Archaeological, archival, cartographic, and sedimentological evidence, cross-scale analysis of regional climate trends, and simulation mapping of individual weather events offer novel perspectives on survival versus destruction at the hyperlocal scale, with relevance to current debates about climate change impacts. Shetland, north of Scotland, has had continuous human occupations for over six thousand years, where settlement has waxed and waned due to the complex interplay of cultural and environmental factors. Against general trends of both continuity and change, local exceptions stand out that illustrate extreme variability at the local scale. This paper focuses on the township of Broo destroyed by blowing sand in the late seventeenth century. In contrast, adjacent communities survived and flourished. Increased storminess, abundant sediment supply, and vegetation removal precipitated Broo's destruction. Local variations in landscape morphology influenced patterns of wind flow and sand deposition during storm events, creating localized effects that heavily impacted Broo. Reconstruction of Broo's historical borders, and analysis of place-names, farm locations, and archival records show that some inhabitants of the township adapted to the environmental challenges, relocated, and remained on the land. This pattern of resilience in the face of environmental change is visible in other locations in the region.","PeriodicalId":52459,"journal":{"name":"Historical Geography","volume":"46 1","pages":"129 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/HGO.2018.0028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42922023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much has been written on the mathematical implications of the results of these eclipse expeditions and the motives of the astronomers involved, but less attention has been paid to the expeditions themselves. In analyzing the specific geographies of these expeditions, this paper will demonstrate that they were shaped by a multitude of factors, including networks of commerce and political relations in a world of growing postwar international cooperation and colonial legacies, while also affirming the importance of the expedition as a tool of research for astrophysical and astronomical science at this time. Analyzing the roles of colonial administrators and unnamed assistants that took part in the expedition process along with the spaces within which they worked provides a critical geographical view of these expeditions and their significance as an episode of early twentieth-century science.","PeriodicalId":52459,"journal":{"name":"Historical Geography","volume":"46 1","pages":"203 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/HGO.2018.0032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41493481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are several reasons for this, and one that is often overlooked is the fundamental value of this line of inquiry beyond the academy. This lecture considers three historical maps as tools to examine the values of historical geography to current and future societies. A 1940s depiction of a chemical plant's toxic dump exposes knowledge of hazardous wastes well before federal legislation addressed this danger. It had significant value in recent environmental litigation and federal efforts to clean up damaged landscapes. An 1850s sanitary map of New Orleans reveals early efforts to depict threats and to delimit the sources of epidemic disease that foretold the emergence of risk assessment and served as a stepping stone in hazards mapping. New Orleans's \"Green Dot\" map released in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina highlights the erosion of social memory in adapting to hazardous situations and the need for planners and government bodies to allow thorough and effective citizen participation in responding to changing environments. Each represents a different type of value, while underscoring the deep and enduring social contributions that can arise from well-researched and clearly written historical geography.","PeriodicalId":52459,"journal":{"name":"Historical Geography","volume":"46 1","pages":"1 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/HGO.2018.0023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45203737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He posits that the CPK leadership seemed to think that it was the degree of political consciousness that could be jammed into the proletariat that refl ected the material success of the revolution. In short, by fl ipping dialectical materialism on its head, political consciousness determined life and those who were unable or unwilling to submit were disappeared. “Spare them, no profi t; remove them, no loss” (Tuk min chammenh, dah chenh ka min khat) (xix). In summary, Tyner’s work provides a thoughtprovoking point of view for scholars to debate. As urged by the author, Cambodia watchers may also wish to interpret his message as a credible warning that in the kingdom of Cambodia, state capitalism policies and practices are still residing under the thinnest veil of democracy. Both Cambodian and world leaders are well advised to do the needful in avoiding yet another Th ucydides’ Trap. As demonstrated during the Khmer Rouge era, dialectic materialism can produce a strong temptation for the super powers to square off using dependent vassal states as their pawns. In exploring CPK revolutionary state capitalism as pure dialectical materialism under the guise of communism, Tyner makes a solid contribution to the canon while giving the critical thinker much to ponder.","PeriodicalId":52459,"journal":{"name":"Historical Geography","volume":"46 1","pages":"353 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/hgo.2018.0010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48850290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
