Current Research Activities
Although I have published dozens of journal articles, book reviews, photographs, etc., I have spent most of my 39+ years at 菠菜网lol正规平台 working on books that would be useful for 我的教学: World Systems of Traditional Resource Management (Edward Arnold, London) for ENVS 117, Human Ecology; Conservation of Natural 资源 (Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey) for ENVS 110, Resource Analysis; and The Coastal Environment for ENVS 189 Coastal Field Studies. I have now finished my fourth book, California Coastal Wetlands for ENVS 144, California Wetland Controversies. I am now “preoccupied” with two things: (1) Locking in a publisher for the last manuscript, and simultaneously (2) “Brainstorming” ideas for my next book.
Research 连接s to Current 事件
菠菜网lol正规平台 has allowed me to follow my research and teaching interests as they evolved over 多年来. If a course didn’t already exist within the department, I was allowed to develop new courses that matched my interests. Consequently, I have always been able to research and teach “my hobbies”—(e.g., islands and other international cultures [ENVS 117]; coastal & ocean issues [ENVS 189]; nature photography [ENVS 166]; wetlands, my favorite thing to photograph [ENVS 144]; and even gardening [ENVS 118, Sustainable 家花园).
Personal 连接s to Research
When I was an undergraduate at San Francisco State University back in the 1960s, there was no such thing as 部门 of Environmental Studies. One day, I stumbled into a course on Physical Geography by Dr. Eydal. He fit my image of a “real” professor (e.g., older; tweed coat with patches on the arms; pipe smoking; and having a foreign 口音). When he starting showing color slides of volcanoes in Iceland, I was immediately hooked on human/land relationships.
