  • Using the principles of Halford J. Mackinder and Nicholas John Spykman to reevaluate a twenty-first-century geopolitical framework for the United States

    Martin Mitchell, Martin D MitchellARTICLEComparative Strategy2020

    The dynamic concepts and principles enunciated by two classic twentieth-century thinkers, Halford J. Mackinder, a geographer from Oxford University and Nicholas J. Spykman, a historian from Yale University, are analyzed within their historical context to better understand their dynamic geopolitical concepts such as the Heartland, Pivot Areas, Eurasian Maritime Periphery, and the role of Latin America. Their concepts are subsequently qualified and…

  • Intensification of Midwestern Agriculture as a Regional Climate Modifier and Atmospheric Boundary Layer Moisture Source

    Andrew C Hill, Martin Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2019References: 47

    Agricultural land use changes have likely played an important role in modifying local and regional climate factors. According to a recent study, summers in the Midwest were significantly cooler and wetter due to the dramatic increases in production of corn and soybeans caused by an intensification of agricultural practices (Alter et al. 2018 Alter, R. E., H. C. Douglas, J. M. Winter, and E. A. B. Eltahir. 2018. Twentieth century regional climate …

  • Taiwan and China

    Martin MitchellARTICLEComparative Strategy2017

    Located offshore of Asia and Mainland China, Taiwan possesses strategic significance because of its location between Japan and The Philippines.

    Open AccessMartin Mitchell, Martin D Mitchell et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2011References: 10

    Extirpated from Minnesota in the late 1800s by Euro-American settlers and reintroduced in the twentieth century by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR), the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo sylvestris) has proved remarkably successful and virtually free of controversy (Figure 1). Although James Earl Kennamer, Mary C. Kennamer, and Ron Brenneman noted other wild turkey restorations across North America in 1992, the MnDNR'S…

  • Gentile Impressions of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1849-1870

    Open AccessMartin Mitchell, M J MitchellARTICLEGeographical Review1997References: 10

    The landscape of Salt Lake City, Utah, drew considerable comment between 1849 and 1870 from non‐Mormon travelers. These experiences, chiefly of overland emigrants, foreign travelers, and military personnel, include first impressions, feelings on entry, and later reactions. The setting, material landscape, Mormon citizenry, and travelers' attitudes toward early Salt Lake City Mormon customs and institutions are discussed

  • Land and Water Policies in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

    Open AccessMartin Mitchell, Martin D MitchellARTICLEGeographical Review1994References: 1

    Rivers can serve as regional bonds (Ullman 1951). This concept is illustrated by the role of the Sacramento -- San Joaquin delta as the node of a vast water-distribution system in California. The delta has a series of aqueducts associated with the federal Central Valley Project, which was authorized in 1933, and the California State Water Project, which was authorized in 1959. They constitute the physical means or imprints on the land by which po…
