Caribbean cruise tourism
Until recently, most Caribbean countries suffered from incomplete and unreliable tourism data focusing on simplistic measures (e.g. numbers of tourists) gathered over a short time‐span, questionable analysis at a descriptive level, unrealistic predictions based on these data, and faulty assumptions — all leading to misinformed policy and planning decisions. One of the most striking aspects of this has been the preoccupation with increasing the nu…

A 16th-century saltworks at Port Eynon, Gower
The remains of a saltworks, in operation from c. 1550-c. 1650, were investigated at Port Eynon, near Swansea, in response to the threat of marine erosion. The site is an early example of salt production by the open-pan method. In the 17th century, a fortified extension was added, with a series of musket loops. The buildings were later converted into a dwelling, and were finally abandoned in the 1870s. A simple wooden lift pump was found in the wa…

A Demographer's View of Prehistoric Demography [and Comments and Replies]
The direct data on the population of prehistoric man are typically too sparse to be used alone. However, such supports as the population-resources model can easily become distortive prisons rather than aids to analysis, and the most important general point from ethnographic analogy-that contemporary primitives differ widely in their demographic characteristics but in all cases these are affected by a belief in the supernatural-is seldom reflected…

The Use of Models in Predicting the Consumption of Outdoor Recreation
This article reviews several types of models for predicting the consumption of outdoor recreation. The types of models are as follows: time series projection, economic, gravity, system theory, and inertia. Wolfe (1972) has noted that the gravity model is unresponsive to the effect that distance itself has upon the perception of distance; that is, use of the gravity model tends to overestimate the number of short trips and underestimate the number…
Excavations at Hen Gastell, Briton Ferry, West Glamorgan, 1991–92
EXCAVATIONS on the summit of a prominent hill overlooking the river Neath revealed evidence for high status occupation from the 6th century to the 10th century, based on the finds of imported pottery and glass. A subsequent reoccupation in the later 12th century has also been identified

Centre and Periphery
Many North American communities are undergoing massive economic, social, and structural change as a result of such factors as the demise of traditional industries, shifting socio-demographic patterns, and lifestyles changes, including those related to leisure, recreation, and tourism. As a result, there have been fluctuations in employment, business investment, demands for services, housing and land values, and the mix of traditional populations …

The golden fleece
Three vital questions have plagued urban open space planners for decades: How much open space? Of what kind? And where? Most planners recognize that the parameters involved in answering these questions are extremely complex: social, demographic, economic, topographical, ecological, climatological, urban structural etc. Despite thoughtful analyses by various writers and the suggestion of alternative approaches, most municipalities in Canada, the U…
Oomingmak
Oomingmak, the Eskimo term for "musk ox," is also the name of the Musk Ox Domestication Project of the Institute of Northern Agricultural Research. The musk ox has been domesticated so that its fine underwool (qiviut), which is shed annually, can be used to develop a uniquely artic textile industry, thus helping to alleviate the widespread poverty of the Arctic peoples without conflicting with their cultural heritage. This paper considers the arc…
The domestication of the Musk-ox
And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one would grow before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.

Neolithic postscript
In view of the interest generated by Mr Case's article (1969, and subsequent discussion (I970,105-I4), Mr Wilkinson felt that this might be the proper time to introduce the Musk Ox to prehistorians in its new role as a domesticated animal, andmake brief reference to some of the other experiments of a large body of useful data which remain largely untapped by archaeologists

The history of musk-ox domestication
If one is sufficiently bold or foolish to ask why the musk-ox Ovibos moschatus was domesticated, even a superficial review of the available evidence suggests that several answers may be given, depending upon the viewpoint from which the question is posed. I have argued elsewhere (Wilkinson, 1972a; 1973) that the domestication of the musk-ox was inevitable if the exploitation of musk-oxen was to continue in the present century. Because of certain …

Diet Of Peary Caribou, Banks Island, N.W.T
The results of analyses of rumen contents from 101 Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi J. A. Allen 1902) collected on Banks Island are presented. Peary caribou on Banks Island were found to be versatile, broad spectrum grazers specializing on upland monocots, to ingest few lichens, and to exhibit significant seasonal and/or regional differences in diet

Urban Open Space Planning in France
Souchon-Zahn (1985) has argued that there is a philosophy underlying land use planning in France in recent years which is based on two sets of motivations: those corresponding to inescapable requirements, i.e. themes of civilisation, of progress, of future, and those corresponding to an original way of meeting these inescapable requirements, i.e. themes of rationality, security, justice and harmony. This paper examines whether this philosophy can…
The historical roots of urban open space planning
Most writing on urban open space planning provides little insight into the field's historical roots, despite a rich literature emanating from the history of the cities and the design professions. Many urban open space planners do not understand the origins of certain concepts and forms which dominate their profession; in consequence, they often fail to appreciate how urban environments have been shaped by these concepts and forms, how they intera…
Urban open space planning in Finland, Norway, and Sweden
The North American and British recreation planning literature contains little analysis of patterns of the provision of urban open space within specific countries, or of current legislation and planning processes. This lack of literature is notably evident in relation to Finland, Norway, and Sweden. This paper examines the history and current context of urban open space planning in those countries. While nature-based recreation appears to be a maj…

Tourism Policy and Planning in The Eastern Caribbean
This paper examines the relationship between tourism policy and planning in four Caribbean countries the describes the resultant patterns of tourism development. It then suggests how policy can be used in the future to secure a more sustainable form of development for these nations and other similar states in the Eastern Caribbean.There is plenty of evidence that almost anything we do on islands makes them worse.
