Impacts of invasive plants on Australian rangelands
No full textResearchers Jennifer Firn and Yvonne M. Buckley focus on impacts of invasive plants on Australian rangeland biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Many of the exotic invasive species within rangelands were intentionally introduced for pasture improvement, soil stabilization, and ornamental purposes. When compared to pastures dominated by native perennial grasses, Gamba grass has been found to use three times the amount of water and to reduce the amount of water available through the soil profile. Dominance by non-native plant species is altering the natural fire regimens of Australian rangelands. Fire is a key driver of species diversity, nutrient cycling, and vegetation dynamics within Australian landscapes. Many species are adapted to fire, relying on heat, and smoke as cues for germination. There is an urgent need for restoration efforts to be re-focused on the present and the future. Invasive species are abundant and widely distributed in the rangelands. © Copyright 2010 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved

William F. Buckley, Winter Commencement Address, 1971
No full textWilliam F. Buckley Jr. was an American conservative author and television commentator, most notably on his own program, Firing Line, where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary. Regarded as one of the most important conservative intellectuals of his time, Buckley here lays out three concepts that he has taken from his association with the youth of 1971. First, Buckley emphasizes the younger generation’s affinity for new technologies, and explains that with every new technological advance, there are concerns as well as benefits. Second, Buckley has learned from the youth that reason will hold as much influence as romanticism in the decisions made by the graduating generation. Third, Buckley has realized that the youth of 1971 are fully able to determine that the idealism of others is just as valuable as their own idealism, though it may differ greatly. At the end of this recording, 5 honorary degrees are given, including one to Buckley, as well as another honorary degree to Motown Records founder Barry Gordy.https://commons.emich.edu/speeches/1047/thumbnail.jp

Her first book, The Hornes: An American Family, is an inspired history of Buckley’s mother, musical legend Lena Horne, and her family.

Buckley is a chronicler of “undiscovered American history – the people and events that are left out of the textbooks.” Buckley’s new book, The Black Calhouns (released February 2016), follows her family history from the Civil War to Civil Rights, starting with her great-great grandfather Moses Calhoun, a slave-turned-businessman

William F. Buckley, Jr.: Reflections on Current Contentions
No full textWilliam F. Buckley, Jr. (born Nov. 24, 1925, New York, N.Y., U.S.—died Feb. 27, 2008, Stamford, Conn.), versatile American editor, author, and conservative gadfly who became an important intellectual influence in conservative politics.
Buckley founded the conservative journal National Review in 1955, and as editor in chief he used the journal as a forum for conservative views and ideas. His column of political commentary, “On the Right,” was syndicated in 1962 and appeared regularly in more than 200 newspapers. From 1966 to 1999 Buckley served as host of Firing Line, a weekly television interview program dealing with politics and public affairs.
A contributor to many magazines, Buckley wrote a number of books, among them God and Man at Yale (1951), Up from Liberalism (1959), and Rumbles Left and Right (1963). He coauthored McCarthy and His Enemies (1954), and in the late 1970s he turned his hand to writing spy novels; among them were Saving the Queen (1976), Marco Polo, If You Can (1982), A Very Private Plot (1994), and the final entry in the series, Last Call for Blackford Oakes (2005)
The Revolutionary: On Isadora Duncan and Edward Gordon Craig
No full textJennifer Buckley interviews dancer, choreographer, and teacher Lori Belilove on Isadora Duncan’s practice and legacy. Belilove argues for Duncan’s modernism, and emphasizes her impact upon Edward Gordon Craig’s developing aesthetic and his career. This edited transcription of their conversation takes its point of departure from Craig’s portfolio of six drawings of Duncan in action, Isadora Duncan: Sechs Bewegungsstudien, Insel Verlag, 1906. Belilove sees both Craig and Duncan as poised between late Victorianism and modernism, and she contends they shared a modernist impulse toward abstraction. Belilove also comments on her own practice as a performer and as a teacher passing on Duncan dances and technique to twenty-first century dancers
