INRODUCTION Occupying the eastern half of the island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic (or the DR, as it’s often known) is the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean, somewhat of a surprise given its relative poverty and former instability, not to mention the allure of nearby islands that perhaps are more wholly given over to holiday-makers. What traditionally attracts most visitors are the parts of the country that resemble the image of a Caribbean playland, the crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches lined with palm trees, of which the DR has plenty. This vision of

Alluvial fans are important sedimentary environments. They trap sediment delivered from mountain source areas, and exert an important control on the delivery of sediment to downstream environments, to axial drainages and to sedimentary basins. They preserve a sensitive record of environmental change within the mountain source areas. Alluvial fan geomorphology and sedimentology reflect not only drainage basin size and geology, but change in response to tectonic, climatic and base-level controls. One of the challenges facing alluvial fan research is to resolve how these gross controls are reflec

Yale French Studies, 99 Jean-François Lyotard: Time and Judgment Edited by Robert Harvey and Lawrence R.

This retrospective volume deals with the extraordinary breadth of Lyotard’s thought and his wide-ranging impact on critical thinking in the late twentieth century.
