Abstract A petrographic and tectonic study of the north border region of the Mayenne massif, Normandy, France, with special reference to the granites of the mylonite zone which separates the massif from other structures of the region, microgranite veins, and the Cambro-Ordovician complex at the base of the adjoining Villaines Paleozoic syncline.

Tectonic Study

A study of the onshore hydrocarbon potential of central and northem East Greenland was initiated in 1986. Field work was carried out from early July to mid August covering the region between Kong Oscar Fjord and Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord (fig. 1). In 1987 field activities will continue further to the north, eventually reaching Danmarkshavn (77°N). The programme is a continuation of the 1982-83 investigations in Jameson Land (Surlyk, 1983; Surlyk et al., 1984a) and is part of a regional programme comprising petroleum geological studies of all sedimentary basins in Greenland (Larsen & Marcussen, 1985; Larsen, 1986). The aim of the two-year field study followed by laboratory analyses is: (1) to study the presence and distribution of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the region; (2) to evaluate the thermal history and maturity pattern of the region including the thermal effect of Tertiary intrusions and volcanics; (3) to make a stratigraphic, sedimentological and tectonic study of the region with special emphasis on subsidence history, reservoir formation and potential hydrocarbon traps.

Dinosaur Eggs

Abstract Results of a stratigraphic and tectonic study of the Mourotte syncline, Provence, France, divide the structure into three parts. The northern part is composed of Hauterivian littoral beds containing Danian dinosaur eggs. The Danian limestone-sandstone series disappears at La Neuve while the marly upper Danian beds continue to the extreme northern limit of the syncline. In the central part the Hauterivian wedges out, and toward its southern limit the substratum is entirely upper Jurassic. In the southern part, the Danian limestones are only visible on the northeast border. Bird eggs collected in the area assign the southern part of the syncline to the Thanetian. Overturning is less noticeable in the north, becoming acute toward the south where the syncline is tightly overturned.

Tectonic Study

Abstract A tectonic study of the area northwest of Sierra de la Demanda (Spain) revealed Tertiary orogenic phases represented by overlaps and overturnings. Towards the northern border, the Cambrian overrides Carboniferous, Triassic and Jurassic formations; the Carboniferous-Triassic units appear overturned under the Cambrian; and the Jurassic formations are affected locally by a system of dislodged slices of nappes associated with imbricate basement rocks. Two major directions of deformation suggest the presence of two successive orogenic phases. The first phase, older than the Oligocene conglomerates, folded the units above the basement in a NW-SE direction, parallel to the north oriented horst in the basement complex. In the post-Oligocene phase NE-SW imbrication affected the conglomerates as well as the basement and overlying units.

This essay tracks the relationship between the legal and the lethal in the Central Intelligence Agency’s operations in Pakistan as part of the U.S.-led war on terror. I juxtapose an account of an automobile accident in Lahore on 26 January 2011 involving the Blackwater employee, Raymond Davis, with a drone strike in the North Waziristan Agency in Pakistan’s (former) Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the day after Davis was released by a court in Pakistan. I examine these “sovereign accidents” as articulations of the legal, political and democratic, and as sites upon which to (re)build understandings of sovereignty and its flourishes. Contrary to the popular tendency to see FATA as a marginal border region, that quintessential space of exception, I examine the FATA as jurisdiction. I thread together political discourse and practice in the U.S. and Pakistan, and by examining media coverage and litigation around the accidents, I show how a question of freedom of information in one setting is a question of life itself in another setting. At stake is the meaning and valence of law, the political, and the promise of postcolonial sovereignty.

AbstractIn the early twentieth century, encyclopedias addressed to children and youths became special reference works concerning science and technology education. In search of greater comprehension of this historical process, I analyse The Children's Encyclopedia’s representation of science and technology, and how it was re-edited by the North American publishing company that bought its copyrights and promoted its circulation in several countries. Furthermore, I examine how its contents were appropriated in its translations into Portuguese and Spanish, which circulated in Latin America in the first half of the twentieth century. The comparison between the different versions reveals that the writings of science and technology are practically the same, with significant changes only in literature and in the approach of historical and geographical themes. I then argue that, even keeping the scientific contents virtually unchanged, these versions of the encyclopedia gave it a new meaning, because of the contexts in which they circulated. Finally, I show how the appropriations of the encyclopedia contributed to the promotion of scientific values and technological innovation as the core development and as a model of civilization for South American nations.
