Glorious Autarky? Foreign Resources and the British Fiscal-Military State , 1688–1815
Studies of state formation and state-building in early modern Britain have almost overwhelmingly focused on how domestic resources were mobilised, taking for granted that the state existed practically in a state of autarky that mirrored the ‘glorious isolation’ of the nineteenth century. Examining the role that foreign manpower and money played between 1688 and 1815 in this paradigmatic ‘fiscal-military state’ suggests that British state formatio…
Four / Antillean Land Bridge
Five / Central American Land Bridge
A principal focus of current discussion is when connection was fully established between northern South America and southern Central America. The consensus has been ca. 3.5 Ma ago allowing for the Great American Biotic Interchange and supported by a wealth of independent geomorphological, ocean chemistry, oceanographic (paleocurrents), and paleontological data. A recent suggestion is that zircon crystals found in ca. 13 Ma year old river deposits…
Six / Magellan Land Bridge
The Magellan Land Bridge is defined as the connection between southern South America and Antarctica although throughout its Cretaceous and Cenozoic history connections continued on into Australasia and other lands. Disruption in the region discussed here began in the Jurassic-Cretaceous (ca. 162-130 Ma) with opening of the Rochas Basin in southern Chile. In the Oligocene (35-30.5 Ma) the Powell Basin formed between Antarctica and South America, a…
Two / East Beringia
Alaska and adjacent regions of NW North America are mountainous with slightly less seasonal and extreme variation in temperature, and of less geographic extent accounting for the probable somewhat later, less sustained, and extensive glaciation. In contrast to the relatively stable cratonic platform underlying much of western Beringia (Siberia), NW North America is bordered by exotic terranes, subduction along the Aleutian Trench, and is located …
Seven / Case Studies
In the case studies of taxa presented here, where times and directions of migrations and reintroductions have been suggested, 27 or ca. 60% appear to have used land bridges, based on the fossil record or on their limited means of long-distance dispersal. That means ca. 40% migrated by other means over, around, or through barriers by birds, ocean currents, or wind, or were residues of ancient land collision and fragmentation. In all cases climatic…
Three / North Atlantic Land Bridge
The North Atlantic Land Bridge was relatively continuous during the late Cretaceous and Paleogene with warm and moist climates allowing for migration of tropical to warm-temperate elements between the New and Old Worlds. It became disrupted after the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum by promulgation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge into the North Atlantic and by cooling climates. This is in contrast to the Bering Land Bridge which was discontinuous in the P…
Eight / Summary and Conclusions
This chapter re-emphasizes the complexity of past and present plant and animal distributions, the need for a multiplicity of approaches, interpretations made in the broadest contexts, and the need for data bases of verified plant fossils and of propagules transported by various migratory birds and the survival of these propagules at the target areas. Conceptual issues like geofloras, the madro-tethyan hypothesis, boreotropical vegetation, slightl…
One / West Beringia
Siberia is a vast (13 million square kilometers) and sparsely populated region (40 million people) with low physiographic relief allowing for cold, dry, and distinctly seasonal temperatures averaging from -68 to 37 degrees centigrade but with extremes as low as -89.9 degrees centigrade. It was explored in the early to mid-1700s by Vitus J. Bering who in 1741 made the first European landing in NW North America. Highlands are present in the Ural Mo…

Medical Pluralism in the Use of Sobadores among Mexican Immigrants to North Carolina
“Godforsaken hole called … called …”
This essay explores how the figuring of place throughout the fiction and drama of Samuel Beckett registers and critiques narratives of place in Irish nationalist discourse. The Irish place-names of Beckett’s texts are read in relation to a toponymic re-territorialisation in post-independence Ireland, a process which enervated place identities synonymous with a Protestant culture and history. In this way, the essay argues that the celebrated “plac…
Mexican Sobadores in North Carolina
The European dilemma
For clubs qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, participation generates a series of tensions. UEFA has provided financial rewards for those clubs, but with qualification comes additional pressures on playing squads which are often less able to deal with the performative demands of an extra competition, as they generally possess fewer financial resources compared with teams gaining Champions League qualification. This paper evaluates these confli…
Public Health Insurance in Oregon
Objectives. We identified characteristics of Oregon children who were eligible for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), the state's combined Medicaid–Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), but were not enrolled in January 2005. We also assessed whether parents’ confusion regarding their children's status affected nonenrollment. Methods. We conducted cross-sectional analyses of linked statewide Food Stamp Program and OHP administrative databases (n …
Comparing Types of Health Insurance for Children
BACKGROUND: Many states have expanded public health insurance programs for children, and further expansions were proposed in recent national reform initiatives; yet the expansion of public insurance plans and the inclusion of a public option in state insurance exchange programs sparked controversies and raised new questions with regard to the quality and adequacy of various insurance types. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the comparative effectiv…
The Kasserine Archaeological Survey. 1987 [Institut national d'archéologie et d'art de Tunisie- University of Virginia, USA ]
In 1987 fieldwork was continued in Sector 1, approximately 17 kms south of Kasserine (ancient Cillium). A total of eighty-nine sites dating primarily to the first through sixt c. was recorded. These included settlements, tombs and cemeteries, and field and irrigation systems. Particularly noteworthy among the finds were the large agricultural production centers KS 223 and 225. These appear to have formed the center(s) of a large domain, subdivide…
An Experiment in Teaching Eastern Arrernte in Central Australia
Alice Springs, the major regional centre in Central Australia, has a population of about 19,000, with about 25 to 30 per cent Aboriginal or of Aboriginal descent.There are two high schools in Alice Springs, the largest being the Alice Springs High School with about 700 students, the majority of whom (including the Aboriginal students), have English as their first language. The school teaches to matriculation level and has traditionally offered a …
