| dc.description.abstract | The geographer records interrelationships between man and environment as they affect place, but he often neglects the invisible forces of nature . Too often he has limited his scope to: (1) the elements or things that makeup the landscape; (2) the processes or ways in which the elements in the landscape originated and developed; and (3) t he agents or individuals or groups that activate the processes. But these characterizations do not adequately describe an area that is very much alive. One means of capturing a landscape's dynamic quality is to include in the study a discussion of "cyclic time." This dissertation is an attempt to describe a landscape through "cyclic time"--the diurnal, monthly, and seasonal cycles of man and nature in Ngermetengel, Palau, a small fishing village in Micronesia . | |
