  • In memoriam: James Gordon Nelson 1932–2024

    Open AccessEllsworth LeDrew, James S Gardner et al.ARTICLECanadian Geographies /…2024References: 5

    Gordon Nelson, 2017, Cyprus Hills. Photo courtesy of Kathryn Nelson The first sentence Gordon Nelson published in a refereed journal is: “The Balsa is perhaps the most mysterious and controversial of primitive watercraft” (Nelson, 1961b, p. 157). This immediately evokes Gordon's desire to inquire about the unknown and to explore the complexities of the many dimensions of geography. Entitled “The geography of the Balsa,” this substantial article w…

  • Growing centralization in China’s farmland protection policy in response to policy failure and related upward-extending unwillingness to protect farmland since 1978

    Open AccessTaiyang Zhong, Bruce Mitchell et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning C…2017Cited by: 7References: 8

    Since 1978, China has experienced a rapid loss of arable land, leading to centralizing of farmland protection policies. To understand the growing centralization, this paper has used the lens of the interactions among (1) unwillingness to protect farmland among diverse actors, (2) policy failure and (3) policy change. The growing centralization is an adaptive response to the unwillingness to protect farmland from local up to provincial government …

  • Perspectives on small watershed management in China: The case of Biliu

    Yong Geng, Geng Yong et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2010

    River basin management in China has focused on large rivers, such as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. However, there are also about 20,000 small river basins that deserve attention. The Biliu River basin in Liaoning Province, northeast China, which is 156 km in length, has many features common to small river basins, including divided jurisdiction among governments leading to vertical and horizontal fragmentation. In the Biliu basin, the key municip…

  • Teaching Industrial Ecology at Dalian University of Technology: Toward Improving Overall Eco‐Efficiency

    Open AccessYong Geng, Geng Yong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2009

    With increasing resource depletion and environmental issues in China, it is both desirable and practical to promote industrial ecology (IE) education. While industrial ecology education in China is still in its infancy, we believe it can be improved through systematic review of specific experiences. We outline and assess the experience with teaching of industrial ecology at the Dalian University of Technology (DUT) in northeastern China. We first…

  • Integrated Water Resource Management, Institutional Arrangements, and Land-Use Planning

    Open AccessBruce MitchellARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2005Cited by: 14References: 38

    A systems, holistic, or ecosystem approach is often advocated for water management, and has led to the emergence of integrated water resource management, or IWRM. Such an approach can be interpreted as 'comprehensive' or 'integrated', and analysts, planners, and managers need to understand the difference. Edge or boundary problems always are encountered when applying a holistic approach, and design of institutional arrangements cannot eliminate t…

  • Gendering environmental geography

    Open AccessMaureen G Reed, Bruce MitchellARTICLECanadian Geographies /…2003Cited by: 5References: 80

    Despite sharing common interests in being advocates for social change, feminist and environmental geographers have yet to acknowledge interests they share in common. Environmental geographers, particularly those focused on policy and institutional analysis, have not embraced feminist theories or methodologies, while few feminist geographers have engaged issues associated with environmental policy‐making. Our purpose is to initiate a dialogue abou…

  • Language Usage in Anglo-Sephardi Jewry

    Bruce MitchellARTICLEEuropean Judaism2000

    Tracing the history of languages used among England's Sephardim, being the first study of its kind, presents a number of challenges. First and foremost, there is a severe lack of linguistic documentation prior to the seventeenth century, as Jewish communities were illegal on English soil between the mass expulsion of 1290 and the readmission under Cromwell in 1656. Although official records of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue do give some ind…
