Book Description
The Context Study of the United States Quartermaster General Standardized Plans 1866-1942 was developed to assist the Department of Defense in fulfilling its responsibilities as mandated under Army Regulation 200-4, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning, and the guidelines of the National Register of Historic Places. The Quartermaster Corps constructed thousands of buildings, often using standardized plans throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Panama. These buildings can be divided into types such as transportation-related buildings (aircraft hangars, gas stations, motor pools, and other buildings and structures). Multiple copies of the same buildings were built from nearly-identical plans at numerous installations, some differing only in external decorative features. The purpose of this study is to provide written historic context statements for the use of installation managers in inventorying and evaluating cultural resources.

Book Description
The construction of the Panama Canal at the beginning of the twentieth century created an enclave that ran parallel to the interoceanic waterway, controlled by the US government: the Canal Zone. This book aims to understand the implications that Panama Canal Zone urban planning had on human health, natural resources, and biodiversity through the study case of Fort Clayton, highlighting how the sanitary concerns shaped building regulations and the urban landscape of towns. This book highlights the role of North American entomologists and health workers in developing control strategies for diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and how mosquito’s ecology determined building regulations that shaped the image of the Canal Zone towns. On the other hand, the book determines the environmental assessment of Fort Clayton, determined by the two fundamental aspects that set on the environmental impact of an urban settlement. The first one is the suitability of the site's location. The second is the urban structure of the adopted city model and its impact on the connectivity of the surrounding forests during the twentieth century. This text is aimed at both undergraduate and postgraduate students, architects, urban planners, historians, and environmental science professionals.
