No full textAuthor: Gary J. Bass
Reviewed by Lieutenant Colonel Peter M. Erickson (US Army), PhD, Deputy G35, US Army Europe and Africa
Lieutenant Colonel Peter M. Erickson, PhD, provides a valuable overview of Gary J. Bass’s explanation of why the post–World War II Tokyo trials “were a relative failure.” He highlights how a lack of impartiality, the “legacy of empire,” and the judges’ backgrounds and motivations affected the trials. Erickson calls the book “a must-read for Defense community leaders who often wrestle with the strict legality of America’s tactical actions and the broader and deeper moral impacts of its strategic endeavors.”https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1068/thumbnail.jp
Energy, Transportation, Air Quality, Climate Change, Health Nexus: Sustainable Energy is Good for Our Health
No full textCitation: Erickson, L. E., & Jennings, M. (2017). Energy, Transportation, Air Quality, Climate Change, Health Nexus: Sustainable Energy is Good for Our Health. Aims Public Health, 4(1), 47-61. doi:10.3934/publichealth.2017.1.47The Paris Agreement on Climate Change has the potential to improve air quality and human health by encouraging the electrification of transportation and a transition from coal to sustainable energy. There will be human health benefits from reducing combustion emissions in all parts of the world. Solar powered charging infrastructure for electric vehicles adds renewable energy to generate electricity, shaded parking, and a needed charging infrastructure for electric vehicles that will reduce range anxiety. The costs of wind power, solar panels, and batteries are falling because of technological progress, magnitude of commercial activity, production experience, and competition associated with new trillion dollar markets. These energy and transportation transitions can have a very positive impact on health. The energy, transportation, air quality, climate change, health nexus may benefit from additional progress in developing solar powered charging infrastructure

(Re)Imagining Los Angeles: five psychotopographies in the fiction of Steve Erickson
No full textThe thesis investigates psychotopography: the dynamic interrelationship of emotions,
landscape, and the individual. Psychotopography suggests an all-encompassing connection
between landscape and emotion and attempts to outline the intricacies of this, subsequently
providing new ways of mapping the landscape, in particular, a re-mapping of emotional and
psychic responses to the urban space. The aim of psychotopography is to create new
understandings of ourselves, the ways in which we interact with the city, and the identities that
arise as a result, through an exploration of the psychotopographic states and tendencies of a
place, as identified in creative processes such as fiction, art and film.
This study is done with particular reference to the landscape of Los Angeles and
individuals relationship with it. Psychotopography is a term specifically used by Los-Angeles
based American novelist Steve Erickson, and therefore the thesis approaches psychotopography
principally through Erickson’s writings, using studies of five psychotopographic states identified in
his work: emotion, happiness, numbers, liquidity and apocalypse. These five main chapters deal
with themes that are significant not only in Erickson’s writings but as part of the experience of Los
Angeles and the surrounding area, and the interrelation between these themes, their motifs and
the notion of psychotopography.
The psychotopography of Erickson’s novels and characters is intricately woven through all
aspects of his writing and therefore the methodology used during the study of Erickson’s writing is
close thematic analysis. This allows a highly detailed and deliberate exploration of both the
mechanics and concepts within Erickson’s fiction.
The thesis will develop the notion of psychotopography both within the novels and the
wider context of the Los Angeles and Southern Californian landscape, going on to suggest how
this notion might be applied to other disciplines and mediums
