Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire
Puerto Rico became a U.S. colonial territory in 1898 and Puerto Ricans were granted citizenship in 1917, but more than one hundred years later, as President Donald J. Trump so amply demonstrated in the wake of Hurricane Maria (2017), they are yet to be truly accepted as full-fledged citizens. Their status as citizens has been complicated by their colonial relationship, language, and mixed racial characteristics. In Colonial Migrants at the Heart …
Wired into Nature
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the telegraph made its way across western North America as the frontier was being explored and Native Americans were fighting for their lands. While many historical narratives of the telegraph in North America focus on the experience in the East, highlighting invention, innovation, and manufacturing, James Schwoch's Wired into Nature examines the extension of the telegraph into the challenging landsca…
Of Limits and Growth
Stephen J. Macekura's Of Limits and Growth provides a dispassionate and thorough yet concise account of the emergence of “sustainable development” as a unifying mantra for environmentalists and those interested in economic development. The book “chronicles how two generations of reformers identified, defined, and sought to redress the environmental challenges of the twentieth century” (p. 12). It adeptly brings to life the key personalities invol…
The Farm Debut of the Gasoline Engine
Advertisements for internal combustion engines, commonly called gas engines, appeared regularly in farm magazines in the mid-1890s. By the century’s turn, one hundred US companies produced stationary or portable gas engines for farmers. Fifteen years later, the number of gas engines on farms had exploded to one million. The skills gained by hundreds of thousands of farmers with these engines facilitated the rapid adoption of the automobile on far…
The political economy of NGOs and information sharing
NGOs and Environmental Public Goods
NGOs are linked to environmental objectives for good reason: non-profit NGOs provide a flexible, private-sector answer to the provision of international environmental public goods. The non-profit sector can link for-profit, non-profit, and public-sector objectives in complex contracts. This article examines how, for the case of the National Biodiversity Institute (INBio) in Costa Rica, such complex contracts with both domestic and international p…

Career Problems and Retirement among Elite Athletes
This investigation used qualitative techniques to identify and analyze the experiences of elite female tennis professionals and their perceptions of their competitive years and subsequent retirement from the sport. Through a system of networking and snowball sampling techniques (Babbie, 1986), 28 athletes who had played on the professional tennis circuit were contacted and asked to complete an extensive semistructured questionnaire; 20 completed …
