No longer are the great outdoors the province of men and men alone; in recent years the feminist movement has brought women out of the home in force, to commune with nature and the environment on their own terms. This compilation of word and image celebrates the deep connection between women and the wild, drawing upon the work of award-winning author Margaret E. Murie, naturalist Cathy Johnson, Native American Robin Youngblood and others. Exquisite photographs by Kathleen N. Cook, Pat Leeson, Nancy Simmerman and Kathy Clay complement the text, and almost overwhelm it.

There are two distinct strands in the literature on gambling: one that focuses on how to play and win the various games of chance and one that focuses on gambling compulsion and addiction. Gambling and Gender forges a new direction, studying gambling as more communication than compulsion, more recreation than deviance, more sociology than psychology. Within that framework it seeks to explore several aspects of gender: How do the gambling behaviors of men and women differ? How have women adapted to and/or changed the historically male dominance of the gambling arena? What gambling activities ha

Most of our information about the evolution of Earth’s ocean-climate system comes from the analysis of sediments laid down in the past. For example, the microfossil assemblage reflects the temperature, salinity and nutrient abundance of the water in which the organisms lived, while the chemical and isotopic composition of biogenic carbonates may be used to reconstruct past variations in the operation of the carbon cycle, as well as changes in ocean circulation.Nevertheless, understanding the link between these sediment variables (or ’proxies’) and environmental conditions is
