Phantoms of the Prairie
The Middle West
This paper takes as its starting point James “Pete” Shortridge's The Middle West: Its Meaning in American Culture to analyze the region's historical development. For Shortridge, national changes in the early twentieth century had enormous consequences for the region. National discomfort with the high rates of urbanization, industrialization, and immigration was managed in part by splitting the Midwest into two seemingly very different regions, on…
Traceability
Lapses in food safety have spurred development of governmental traceability systems to track every stage of food production as part of a standardized information base. These systems form part of national and international government efforts to reduce food‐security risks and control food‐related disease outbreaks. The European Union, the United States, Japan, and Canada have traceability requirements now in various stages of implementation, as doe…

South Jersey's Alliance and Woodbine were the most successful. Both were established on undeveloped land, and the landscape that emerged suggests the importance the funders placed on usi…

As a metaphor for the United States' Great Plains, the Buffalo Commons stands for a large‐scale, long‐term ecological‐economic restoration project. It has found an attentive audience in the last thirteen years and is in practice springing to life in the region. Comparable metaphors for other regions dealing with structural change are explore…
Bring Back the Buffalo! A Sustainable Future for America's Great Plains

Vast stretches of the region have seen a steady decline in population and are ill-suited for traditional agriculture or cattle ranching. Yet those same areas provide ideal habitat for bison.Callenbach explores the past history, present situation, and future potential of bison in North America as he examines wh…
