Human Influences on the Pine and Laurel Forests of the Canary Islands
The effect of human activities on the vegetation mantle of the earth historically has tended to be especially severe on island ecosystems. The Canary Islands, which originally supported substantial stands of both coniferous and broadleaf evergreen forests, offer an instructive, but little-known example of this continuing interaction between man and environment. The Canary Islands lie on the subsiding eastern side of the semipermanent Azores antic…

Carl Sauer's Vision of an Institute for Latin American Studies
This working association of Latin Americanists has kept before itself the general objective of culture history. . . . Our reach at least is Wellsian. We are trying to understand the fortunes of man in Latin America, considering that there has been a significant contiguity and continuity of man in that geographic frame. Perhaps I can take two common catch words and give them a new juxtaposition, saying that we are interested in the personality of …
"Mr. Sauer" and the Writers
The geographer Carl Sauer was an articulate figure within the larger field of American scholarship. His distinctive worldview and his emphasis on the historical past in the shaping of the cultural landscape drew enthusiastic response from a significant group of avant-garde poets associated with Black Mountain College, North Carolina, and their iconoclastic mentor, Charles Olson (191o-1970). Olson was a central figure in the postmodern revolution …

The Origin and Dispersal of the Domesticated Canary
Part of the native avifauna of Madeira and the archipelago for which it was named, the canary-bird has been domesticated only within the past 500 years. Selection in Europe was both for the richness of its song and for physical appearance, including the familiar 'canary yellow' color. The Harz Mountains of Germany became renowned for the development of fine singers while Britain and the Low Countries concentrated more on show birds of a wide rang…

A Geographer Looks at the San Joaquin Valley
A lavishness of scale and an extraordinary diversity of crops, orchards, and vineyards characterize intensively developed, irrigated agriculture of San Joaquin Valley. The complexity of its patterns and environmental problems, its diverse ethnic groups, and adaptations and human decisions from which it is always evolving make valley a place of excitement, subtle beauty, and grandeur with crucial importance for society and economy of California.

The Migration of Canary Islanders to the Americas: An Unbroken Current Since Columbus
The Canary archipelago lies off the coast of Africa at 29° N latitude, some 700 nautical miles south of Gibraltar. Its conquest and occupation, including the subjection of the native Guanche population, represented Spain's first overseas venture, a blueprint and precedent for the colonization of America. For nearly a century prior to Columbus the Spanish Crown found here a laboratory and testing ground for colonial administration, including relat…

Geography as Exploration and Discovery
Gold placers attracted initial Spanish settlement to the Antioquia highlands of northwest Colombia. Here there evolved a distinctive culture group, centering on Medellin, that in the nineteenth century fanned out to establish numerous pioneer fronts on Andean slopes. Change has been continuous. Recently Antioqueño colonization has been directed towards the northern tropical lowlands. Medellin, despite locational disadvantages, has become a major …
Ridged Fields in the Rio Guayas Valley, Ecuador
Aerial reconnaissance and photography have established the existence of extensive tracts of ridged fields and planting platforms (bancos), apparently of pre-Columbian origin, in the overflow lands behind the natural levees of the Rio Guayas immediately north and east of Guayaquil, Ecuador. These vestiges of an ancient, labor-intensive agricultural system are similar in character to others that have been described in Bolivia, Colombia, and Surinam

Realejo: A Forgotten Colonial Port and Shipbuilding Center in Nicaragua
C OLONIAL NICARAGUA was an important source of Indian slaves, timber, dyewood, naval stores, and foodstuffs for Viceroyalty of Peru. The great bulk of this traffic moved through port and villa of Realejo, at head of a mangrove-lined estuary some 8 kilometers up river from modem Pacific coast port of Corinto. Today Realejo is an almost forgotten village of thatch-roofed cane houses, shrouded by giant mango trees and reached not by ship, but by a r…

The Settlement of the Sinu Valley of Colombia
IN ABORIGINAL times the Rio Sinut Valley of Colombia was densely peopled. A brief orgy of grave looting by the Spaniards followed the Conquest, after which they almost forgot the area; for its gold had come from elsewhere and few Indians remained to be exploited as a labor force. Its effective resettlement has been accomplished only in the past 75 years. First came the American and French lumber interests, which cleared the forest; they were foll…

Coffee and Settlement in New Caledonia
NEW CALEDONIA has long been a neglected stepchild of the French colonial system despite its delightfully equable climate, its freedom from malaria, and its abundant mineral resources. After nearly a century of European occupancy the permanent white population of the colony is about I7,000, a figure that has not shown appreciable change over 60 years. The geographical isolation of the island, absentee proprietorship, native rebellions, and a linge…

T HE physical growth of America's industrial plant in the past decade has perhaps nowhere been more spectacular than in the Gulf South.

Each of these factors, together with a boundless enthusiasm for regional promotion, has contributed t…

The Uniqueness of California
THERE is general agreement that like Texas or New England, is a land apart. In the popular mind it is somehow different, a state with distinctive qualities both of the physical environment and of the human spirit which give it a personality of its own. It has mountains, deserts, valleys, beaches, and rocky coasts in magnificent profusion. Its boisterous and romantic past, its cornucopia harvests, its moving pictures, its ferry boats and cable car…
