Language: EnglishPages: 464About the Book Land system in the Tamil country is always a fascinating subject because of the vast data that are available in inscriptions. In this analytical work the author discusses the control exercised by the kings, feudatory chiefs and officials in the land administration. He also discusses the part played by the various local assemblies such as ur, nagaram and sabha. His study on the various aspects of the land system such as land yield, land use, taxes, exemptions and collection of taxes and the interpretations he offered to the various details embedded in the inscriptions are not only convincing but also interesting. The author also brings out the differences among the various regions in the matter of land system -revenues, yields and he dwells at length the reasons for such variations. He also throws light on the role of the temples which came to possess large parcels of land and the conditions under which they administered these

This book is a comprehensive overview of the ever-captivating field of glaciation from the perspective of glacial landsystems. This approach models the many processes, forms and interactions that can be found in glaciated landscapes throughout the world. Landsystems models allow the glacial geologist and geomorphologist to evaluate these landscapes in relation to the dynamics of glaciation and to climate and geology.Glacial Landsystems brings together the expertise of an international range of specialists to provide an up-to-date summary of landsystems relevant to both modern and ancient glacier systems and also in the reconstruction and interpretation of former glacial environments. The models are applicable at all scales from ice sheets to small valley glaciers.This book is an essential reference for students of glaciation.

The Yolngu and Their Land : A System of Land Tenure and the Fight for its Recognition [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 1986] Williams, Nancy M. ...

The book focuses on the Aboriginal system of land tenure in the northeast of Arnhem Land, Australia. Yolngu land tenure is a system based on rational economic principles while deriving its validity and moral force from a rich religious mythology. The book is a contribution to the ethnography of Australian Aborigines, to comparative hunter-gatherer studies, to the analysis of systems of land tenure, and to the history of ideas about property.

This publication documents the collaborations of over 20 artists and architects--Yona Friedman, Dan Graham, Ali Kazma, MAP Office, One Architecture, Debra Solomon, Berend Strik, Sharif Waked and others--with Palestinian inhabitants of the village Ein Hawd.

This practical design guide presents a complete tutorial on the science of land-mobile radio system engineering, addressing not only today's systems, but the emerging digital and microcellular systems of tomorrow as well.

This revision of a best-selling, practical handbook on land mobile radio systems will enable readers to understand and apply the tremendous changes brought on by integrated circuits, microprocessors, computers, digital technology, and satellites. It integrates the new technologies with basic information on many different land mobile radio systems, and gives solutions to prevent very frustrating intermittent system failures. This edition brings readers up to date with technologies such as computers, digitized voice, second generation trunking, second generation simulcasting, amplitute compandored single sideband, second generation cellular, automatic vehicle location (including GPS), and satellites—and demonstrates how the technologies are used in land mobile radio systems. For those who work in the field of land mobile radio, including radio mechanics, radio engineers, directors of communications.

San Antonio, Texas, is unique among North American cities in having five former Spanish missions: San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo; founded in 1718), San José y San Miguel de Aguayo (1720), Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Acuña (1731), San Juan Capistrano (1731), and San Francisco de la Espada (1731). These missions attract a good deal of popular interest but, until this book, they had received surprisingly little scholarly study. The San Antonio Missions and Their System of Land Tenure, a winner in the Presidio La Bahía Award competition, looks at one previously unexamined aspect of mission history—the changes in landownership as the missions passed from sacred to secular owners in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Drawing on exhaustive research in San Antonio and Bexar County archives, Félix Almaráz has reconstructed the land tenure system that began with the Spaniards' jurisprudential right of discovery and progressed through colonial development, culminating with ownership of the mission properties under successive civic jurisdictions (independent Mexico, Republic of Texas, State of Texas, Bexar County, and City of San Antonio). Several broad questions served as focus points for the research. What were the legal bases for the Franciscan missions as instruments of the Spanish Empire? What was the extent of the initial land grants at the time of their establishment in the eighteenth century? How were the missions' agricultural and pastoral lands configured? And, finally, what impact has urbanization had upon the former Franciscan foundations? The findings in this study will be valuable for scholars of Texas borderlands and Hispanic New World history. Additionally, genealogists and people with roots in the San Antonio missions area may find useful clues to family history in this extensive study of landownership along the banks of the Río San Antonio.

Environmental Geography combines traditional physical geography with a consideration of human-related environmental issues. This unique text provides more attention to physical processes and systems than your standard environmental science text and frequently uses maps to convey the information. The text draws on traditional themes of geography. Many of these themes include the concept of an integrated planet, principles of space, scale and distributions, the idea of landscape as a human-environmental interplay, and the perspective of earth as a dynamic planet where the geographic approach enables us to see the opportunities, constraints and risks in the environment. This text is suitable for many courses taught in geography departments covering environmental topics although they may have different titles.

Focusing on the use and misuse of the environment, this forward-looking book provides insights into where we seem to be headed as a species on the planet. Emphasizes the geographic aspects of problems, such as air pollution, locational factors, scales considerations, distributions and spatial associations. Provides an overview of the modern environmental dilemma and the factors that need to be examined in order to gain an understanding of the problem. Features a review of our planet's open lands and the effort to preserve and manage them.

Neither a glorified form of service nor an add-on to the traditional purposes of universities, the public scholarship described in Engaging Campus and Community is--or should be--the heart and soul of academic work. Public scholarship integrates the tripartite university mission of research, teaching, and service to foster democracy, community, and deep learning among faculty, other university staff, students, and community members external to the university. Thoughtfully articulated case studies illustrate how theoretical and practical knowledge can be developed and shared through meaningful and respectful communication among all partners involved in a public scholarship effort. Comparing the several public scholarship cases, the editors derive lessons about how to foster public scholarship that can be applied at many types of higher education institutions, including the land-grant universities that are the focus of this analysis.
