Book Description
Excerpt from The Mediterranean Shores of America, Southern California: Its Climatic, Physical, and Meteorological Conditions Climate is a wonderful as well as a powerful factor - be it in religion, arts, sciences, or civilization. It makes morality and creeds; the wild and weird mysteries of Eulesis, the festivals of the Roman Flora, or the orgies that accompanied the feasts and worship of Dionysius or Bacchus, never could have taken place except between certain degrees of latitude. Climate determines the diet, occupation, the diseases of which we shall suffer and die, as well as the average length of our existence; it determines our temper, faculties, and facilities for acquiring knowledge and the arts. Climate is, in fact, as observed by Montesquieu, the most powerful of all empires. We need but observe the effects of the American climate on Europeans, and of the European climate on the Americans, to become convinced of the truth of this assertion. Southern California climatology is quite a study; many of its meteorological results are even real puzzles, - puzzles met with nowhere else. It has many oddities; for instance, one of the greatest peculiarities or oddities of this climate consists in the relative conditions existing between the degrees of temperature and the degrees of atmospheric humidity. It is this atmospheric condition that puzzles all new-comers, and that is incomprehensible to the average observer of meteorological conditions and their results.

American Mediterraneans
Author: Susan GillmanPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226819663
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
"In this book, Susan Gillman uncovers the ways that geographers and historians, novelists and travel writers, used "American Mediterranean" as a formula from the early nineteenth century to the 1970s. She asks what cultural work is done by this kind of unsystematic, hypothetical, even open-ended comparative thinking. Although "American Mediterranean" is not a household term in the United States today, it once circulated widely in French, Spanish, and English. Gillman tracks two centuries of this geohistorical concept across different networks of writers: from nineteenth-century geographers to writers of the 1890s who reflected on the Pacific world of Southern California, and to literary writers and thinkers of the 1930s and 40s who drew on this comparative tradition to speculate on the political past and future of the Caribbean. As Gillman shows, all these figures grappled with the American legacies of European imperialism and slavery. Following the term through its travels across disciplines and borders, Gillman reveals a little-known racialized history, both long-lasting and fleeting, one that paradoxically appealed to a range of race-neutral ideas and ideals. American Mediterraneans adds and explicates a new element in the stock of race discourses in the Americas"--
