Klee, Gary Allen2025-01-062025-01-061972-09https://hdl.handle.net/1794/30314203 pagesThe 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 .en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USUO theses and dissertations are provided for research and educational purposes and may be under copyright by the author or the author’s heirs.
