Systematic, scientific research to locate, evaluate and document archeological resources on National Park System lands.

This Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (SAIP) is intended to provide a framework for systematic, scientific research that locates, evaluates, and documents archeological resources. The importance of the SAIP is that it emphasizes research within a cultural resources management framework. The purpose, structure, and requirements of the SAIP have been published and each NPS region is required to develop a regional plan to implement this program. This document represents the plan for the Midwest Region.

This study assessed the nature of historical archaeological resources within New River Gorge National River (NERI) and Gauley River National Recreation Area (GARI). The study documented the location, condition and research potential of a sample of historical archaeological sites within NERI and GARI; conducted limited exploratory archaeological investigations of representative historic sites; created sites descriptions, maps and summarized other data relating to these sites; and identified research questions that these historic and other historic resources located in NERI and GARI have the potential to address.

The Clearing Folk School is where Norbert Blei taught a weeklong writing workshop every summer for nearly 40years. e school, built by landscape architect Jens Jensen, is situated atop one of the most beautiful bluffs in DoorCounty. is is Norbert Blei's DoorCounty, the subject of much of his writing. Nearly two years prior to his death in 2013, Norbert invited some of his long-time students (all accomplished writers themselves) to contribute essays to a book he intended to write about his years as a teacher at e Clearing. The book would be his personal perspectives on teaching, students, and the importance of place, specifically The Clearing. The Professor's Quarters is a collection of those student essays compiled and edited by long-time Blei students and writers: Alice D'Alessio, Albert DeGenova, Jude Genereaux, and Susan O'Leary. This is a book about love. The love of a teacher, a place, and the writing life.

The Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) is a comprehensive inventory of all historically significant landscapes within the National Park System. This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape's location, physical development, significance, National Register of Historic Places eligibility, condition, as well as other valuable information for park management.

The statesman and reformer James Oglethorpe was a significant figure in the philosophical and political landscape of eighteenth-century British America. His social contributions--all informed by Enlightenment ideals--included prison reform, the founding of the Georgia colony on behalf of the "worthy poor," and stirring the founders of the abolitionist movement. He also developed the famous ward design for the city of Savannah, a design that became one of the most important planning innovations in American history. Multilayered and connecting the urban core to peripheral garden and farm lots, the Oglethorpe Plan was intended by its author to both exhibit and foster his utopian ideas of agrarian equality.

In his new book, the professional planner Thomas D. Wilson reconsiders the Oglethorpe Plan, revealing that Oglethorpe was a more dynamic force in urban planning than has generally been supposed. In essence, claims Wilson, the Oglethorpe Plan offers a portrait of the Enlightenment, and embodies all of the major themes of that era, including science, humanism, and secularism. The vibrancy of the ideas behind its conception invites an exploration of the plan's enduring qualities. In addition to surveying historical context and intellectual origins, this book aims to rescue Oglethorpe's work from its relegation to the status of a living museum in a revered historic district, and to demonstrate instead how modern-day town planners might employ its principles. Unique in its exclusive focus on the topic and written in a clear and readable style, "The Oglethorpe Plan "explores this design as a bridge between New Urbanism and other more naturally evolving and socially engaged modes of urban development.

The Cultural Landscape Report, Part Two: Treatment is for two component landscapes within Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site.

Panama - Architecture Urban Art Texture, is a book of illustrations showcasing the multi-cultural lifestyle of the country of Panama; photographer Claudio Santini uses the magic of his camera to capture the interesting urban-essence of the old streets of Casco Viejo, the modernity of the new architecture of Panama City, as well as the suburban expression of the relinquished town of Colon. The colorful texture of these subjects powerfully evokes an abstract image of creative energy.

Welcome to my first photowalk through NYC just after I initially picked up my camera. This is where it began.

SEARCHING FOR THE HEART OF SACRED SPACE is about Landscape, Buddhism and Awakening - spoken in the same breath. The author personally explores ways of being in sacred landscapes, foundations for designing the contemplative garden. The book candidly reveals a path of transformation. Discovering the riches of the woods in Finland, the author investigates the natural environment for local government in Upstate New York and USAID in Nepal. He begins to taste the meaning of a spiritual home. Mentored by Tom Johnson at Cornell University, he designs a Tibetan Buddhist meditation centre, one of the first in North America. During a private audience, H. H. the Dalai Lama questions the basis for the design. Firmly linking the design of landscape to a spiritual path, the author questions, - "What is the truth of design? How deep would I go to draw inspiration? How deeply am I willing to know myself in order to design sacred landscape?" His search for the heart of sacred space points to an astounding historical connection between Kyoto's temple gardens and Pretapuri in Western Tibet, one of Buddhism's twenty-four sacred tantric sites. Guided by Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, he dissects the reference, an old Japanese garden-making text designating the first stones set upright in the landscape - 8,631 stones on the Tibetan Plateau guarded by the Eight Naga Kings. He makes a pilgrimage to Pretapuri, a landscape charged with the power of spiritual agreement between pilgrims and deities, revealed as three layers of discourse. External explanations enrich physical descriptions with tales told by rivers and terraces about the meaning of life. Internal explanations relate stories and legends investing a place with subtle attributes accorded to a sacred landscape. Secret explanations present a landscape produced by the power of the Six Perfections, graced by the purity and wisdom of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, corresponding to a structured pattern of focal points of energy and subtle channels. As a landscape architect and Buddhist, the author personally speaks with these provocative landscapes and the historical characters who previously addressed their mysteries, calling extensive textual references into the discussion. By disarming the feral conditions left by others, and awakening to the perfection and beauty of sacred landscapes, he uncovers profound tools for designing gardens for contemplation. Discovering layers of subtlety enhanced with hand-drawn maps and sketches in this book, you may never look at landscape the same way again; instead, seeing the world unbound wonder and reverence - naked - in silence ... and the unbearable lightness of space.

This Cultural Landscape Report draws together the varied knowledge of the physical history and current condition of the Preserve landscape into a synthetic document that suggests appropriate means for implementing the overarching management approach laid out in the GMP.
