last week we build on our senses of sublime natural landscapes.ing about this notion of the technological sublime. this is something that historian science and technology, david has talked about. the sublime we begin with comes from romanticism, it helps to reframe dramatic, powerful, intense landscapes from scary to inspiring. powerreates a feeling of that i do want to encounter. when we think of the sublime we think of the scale of the grand canyon, the power of niagara falls, maybe the review of the top of a high building. we might not use that word, sublime, did describe -- to describe that feeling. it is the literal awesomeness of nature still with us. last week, when we were thinking a little bit about the early 20th century, we considered this notion of the sublime, or the technological sublime in the context of the hoover dam. thinking about american engineering, this human structure that is worth marveling at. this is an idea that folks have also applied to nuclear tests. it was something a lot of people did as part of their work at the t

can we read this landscape a little bit?this caption at the bottom, what is the test in the series called? it happens to be the test priscilla. i know something about the last slide. i thought it was a more accurate reflection on or her soul then and two s2 with the test site. the idea behind the reversal. prof. kohout: thinking about naming and what sorts of labels get placed onto landscapes is something we have been talking to her as well. about a proving ground, this is the name that predates the test site, that relationship between proving and performance is really interesting. thanks for that. talk to me about priscilla, what you see here? compared to the other photos, especially the painting zero looking at last week, you have the natural landscape dwarfing that human aspect of it, it is the opposite. what we were talking about what the technological sublime, and that domination completely of nature. prof. kohout: that in version of scale is so fascinating. what else. not sure if it is that night, or during the day, bu

he started landscape architecture in the united states. frederick law olmstead had worked with george vanderbilt in the past, had worked with the vanderbilt family a number of times in the past. towas the preeminent person have an estate like this laid out. he was at the end of his career. he did not have anything left to prove. he could bring all of his experiences. he could have this really beautiful picture that included -- forest, which is something that people do not see consciously. beautiful rolling hills. it did not look like that when olmstead began. he saw that was an important part of it. it was also important that the country learn you could have a scientifically managed forest. they had been doing it for centuries in europe, but it was not the practice here. he helped bring back together with george vanderbilt. as olmstead and vanderbilt were working out the bigger estate -- they understand the scientifically-managed forest would be a really big part of the estate -- they had to find someone who would make this happen. the fir

what was once this bass landscape across much of illinois has been virtually eliminated and turned into the corn belt. but illinois isn't alone since the late one thousand nine hundred prairie grasslands across the united states have been steadily vanishing. i've heard grasslands and general referred to as the unheralded counterparts of the rain forest and grasslands have a critical role in terms of climate change as well in a prairie most of that carbon is stored in the soil and so it's very secure for very long term storage a soil organic matter in essence the plants of the tall grass prarie absorb carbon dioxide trapping it in their deep roots. the restoration began in one thousand nine hundred six growing from a small plot of remnant prairie land that had never been farmed. and starting with fire the process hasn't changed much in thirty years. it's completely fire dependent without fire we could not know how pretty the vegetation grows more vigorously most species of plants have a season of more intense blooming right after you do the first year the second year after the fire no on

it is a landscape as old as time.t dangerous and a lot of people who have come over, not talking about gun smuggling or drug smuggling, but evil who just tried to get to the united states. —— but people who just tried to get to the united states. in the united states and abroad, people had little conception of how fast of a journey this is. most people, we sort of imagine there is a lie in the sand and that you step onto the other side of it and you are in the united states. but that is actually not how this works at all. since the 1990s, in the united states, we have been building walls, and hiring more and more border patrol agents and what that has done is it has forced the crossings further and further out into the most remote, dangerous, rugged parts of the desert. so, you have a situation where people will be walking for as much as a0 miles, 60 miles, to circumvent these roads and checkpoints and patrols and many people lose their lives. hundreds of people lose their lives. hundreds of people die every year. wha

we have to look at the landscape.e bots online for the eu referendum and they were tweeting for leave. and they were male. so we need to look at the whole thing. this is kind of reminiscent of what we have been hearing about in the us with the robin gill indictments. been hearing about in the us with the robin gill indictmentsm happened in france as well at their election —— robert mueller. we need to look at the whole landscape, not just one part of it. if we only look at one part of it will not get the whole picture. anne, take danny pate on the sunday times. we have a perilous moment according to reporters for theresa may —— take us down the page. an extraordinary high immune moment in number 10, it seems, david davis, it set him or me. the him on me is the chief civil servant in charge of brexit negotiations to david davis regards asa negotiations to david davis regards as a malign influence. david davis is the brexit secretary. we are suggesting he is at war with the chief civil servant. also the story claims. in

it's harsh and inhospitable but also very beautiful, a landscape as old as time.tractive, but as you say, very dangerous. a lot of the people who for one reason or another have come over, not talking about gun smuggling or drug smuggling, but people who just tried to get to the united states, the journeys they undertook were extremely harsh. i feel that in the united states and abroad, people have little conception of how vast a journey this is. most people, we sort of imagine there is a line in the sand and you step on to the other side of it and you are in the united states. that is not actually how this works at all. since the 1990s in the united states we have actually been building walls. we have been hiring more border patrol agents, enforcing the border in the cities. that has forced the crossings further and further out into the most remote, dangerous, rugged parts of the desert. you have this situation now where people will be walking out for as much as a0 miles, 60 miles, to circumvent these roads and checkpoints and patrols. and many people lose their l

it's going to change the landscape. about how all of it is going to happen. walmart is a giant squid. it's losing market share in america. this is a frontier. tesco would be threatened. this isn't a done deal yet. sainsbury's is now, as they say in the city, in play, asda is in play, people might start saying, we could interrupt this cosy deal they are doing, and remember, there is a big qatari investment in sainsbury's. do they like the shape of this deal? it will keep the business pages busy for the rest of the week. turning to the observer, we are back with politics, and it's an amber rudd moment again for the london mayor. you know, in the old days, and we are old enough to remember, people actually resigned over this, or something like this. what this boils down to is that this is the home secretary not just anybody, the down to is that this is the home secretary notjust anybody, the home secretary, who has actually put uk citizens at risk, in terms of their citizenship and everything else, for the honour of the co

you know, what i knew from growing up with my mother in the southwest and growing up close to the landscapend growing up close to the culture. and so i made the decision to join the border patrol because of the time i thought it would be this way of getting answers. i thought it would be a way of seeing what happens on the ground, sort of day in and day out, and i was hyperobsessed with the physical line and the sand. and, of course, my mother was terrified. so this is me and i guess i should say, it wasn't just that my mother was terrified for my safety as i think any mother would be because -- because it's a law enforcement job and there's danger in that. i think she was even more concerned with the health of my spirit and -- and what this job would ask me to do and participate in and i think she was afraid of the way that i would become numb to violence, broadly speaking. so this is me as 23-year-old trying to justify my decision to my mom. listen, i know you don't want your only son turning into a heartless cop, i know you're afraid the job will turn me into someone brutal and probably

it's one of a few landscapes we west.te like the wild and so i think a lot of people, it seems like a very distant thing and what's alarming about thateo is those people i think e often the ones who art did getting our rhetoric and policies. they are voting for a lot of the politicians who are setting the border policies and a lot of those politicians have allowed voices about what happenedd here and are theci people have the first--furthest distance from it in the least amount of connection to it. another thing is we will get to it in questions. >> much more information and what is important to the audience as we are going around. i do hope that you get the opportunity to purchase it and get it signed and hopefully get the e-mail so you can send a question that you may not ask today. at taking. time. we will be answering one at a time. just to let you know. it's much easier that way. one question and then we will go to number two and then we will go number three right there, right next to you. we will start with number one. i will give you number four and number one at the very back

we have no issues with the landscaping. the issue of privacy, i think we would be willing to consider because obviously it impacts the adjoint -- it impacts the occupant of this unit, as well. those windows that are in rooms that are limited use, we would be prepared, i think, to put frosting, glaze those windows or frost it so that you're not looking in or out. we'd be willing to do those things. >> president hillis: all right. >> last thing i'd like to say about the size. we looked at other units in the area, and this unit is still smaller than those unit if you don't add the garage. it is still larger in size to some of the condominium buildings that are next door, so that was one reason that was considered, but other than that, we are amenable to the accepted conditions that you talked about. >> president hillis: okay. greesh that. commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: mr. lindsey, five units, that are already there, how does that work? >> david lindsey, planning department staff. they are entitled, through t

how affected the landscape was by the shelling. we have a number of examples of artifacts that were specific to the world war i experience. the trench system or the trench warfare. the troops were moving around very quickly. just after a few months it settlement to the characteristic of the first world war. the stalemate of the first world war, the trench warfare where thousands of soldiers were sacrificed for a few yards at a time. the amount of showing and the veracity of the war -- some would use her scopes to look above the trench line to see but was out there. -- periscopes to look above the trench line to see what was out there. another of the aspects was of course mud. there was mud everywhere. we see an example of one of the artworks, which showed troops trying to move their supply wagon stuck in the mud here. soldiers were not only fighting their enemy, they were also fighting their environment. trench foot comes from the fact that the soldiers were standing in water for extended period -- extended periods of time. would g

salisbury plain in the south of england it's a harsh rather inhospitable landscape often swept by a cold penetrating wind. in the neolithic period about five thousand years ago this was grazing land with sparse vegetation of the people who lived here we know very little. about the legacy they and their bronze age successors left us is incredibly impressive the stone circles and barrels of the megalithic culture. one of the most famous of these monuments is stonehenge. it's a unique and distinctive religious site a temple built for eternity. the structure of the stone circle can only be seen properly from above the standing stones form various circles and horseshoe shapes grouped around a common center a bank and ditch mark the perimeter. archaeological excavations have given us a fairly accurate idea of who built stonehenge when and how. but why stonehenge was built remains a mystery. it was erected over a period of almost two thousand years from around three thousand to one thousand b.c. . the outer ditch and bank came first presumably they encircled an area of sacred ground. there was

the commonwealth games but how relevant is the event on the gold coast for the biggest sporting landscapee to the programme. we start with footballing news. rearmament read have one foot in the semifinals of the champions league after a 3— win overjuventus. that saw one of the goals of the season from real m. they are looking to make a third consecutive title. conor mcnamara was in turin with the former scotland international pat nevin. it's a very important win for real madrid and a crushing defeat forjuventus. there is one moment of this game which will be remembered in the sands of time. an exquisite bicycle kick from cristiano ronaldo. a privileged to witness. sometimes you hear about goals and talk about goals and there is hyperbole involved. there was none here. this was a phenomenal piece of skill. an understanding of where he was. just the athleticism to do it, before you start thinking of the spatial awareness and talent. add on top of it the importance of the moment within a massive game as well so that's why as one of the special goals of recent years, one of the best i have se

and what that actually does is create the situation where we have more animals than, really, the landscape itself could support. it does create a situation that sort of escalates. narrator: the desert is now dotted with thousands of opportunities to find food and water. and at every one of theem, ravens are e waiting:g: way stations, restaurants, feedlots, recycling yards, landfills, even road kill on highways, just about any place people are careless with food and water. nussear: and we see some of those things even with linear features, such as power lines, where nest sites are now supported, all throughout the desert, where in a lowland landscape with just shrubs like you see around here, there aren't really nesting opportunities. and so what we're creating is additional resources that allow them to get further into the desert than normal. narrator: almost any structure can be utilized for a nest. natural sites are being supplanted by man-made sites across the desert, increasing reproductive success rates. just two surviving chicks from a clutch of eggs means that the nesting pair has a

this doesn't preclude using nonnative plants in landscaping. we ask people very strongly not to plant with invasive plants, of course, to be creative in their design, but to ensure plants that they plant are climate appropriate and not invasive. there are plenty of plants that can provide habitat, as well, and if you get on the plant finder, sfplantfinder.org, you can find a list of those. so just to highlight the amount of work for putting this together, i want to thank all of the departments that are working this effort and coming together collaboratively at the table. this kind of collaboration is not without precedent, this is a current collaboration that's titled san francisco children and nature, which city hall has actually been very supportive of, and it's made up of many of our city agencies, nonprofits, the park services, the presidio trust. and this is specifically around connecting children and families with nature and has a very strong equity foundation, as well. and so i'm going to -- i'm going to finish up, again, by just highlig

this part of the battlefield was alientely turned into an landscape by the massive shelling. we have seen an example here for a painting called over the top where you see soldiers emerging from the chant -- from the and going over the top and over into no man's land. you can just see how tremendously effective the landscape was by the massive shelling that was characteristic of world war i. we have a number of examples of artifacts in the exhibition that were specific to the world war i experience. the trench system, or the trench warfare that evil during world war i. world war i was a very mobile war where troops were moving around quickly. itt after a few months really settled into what became the characteristic of the first world war. the trench warfare where thousands and thousands of soldiers were sacrificed for gaining just a few yards at a time. we see some of the implements of the trench warfare here. one of the most interesting is this periscope. the amounts of shelling and the ferocity of the war was so intense that soldiers had actually use these periscopes to look

we have to ask ourselves what does the employment landscape look like for people with our degree? what kind of history do people need who are not history majors? what do engineers, what kind of history do engineers need to learn? that is one thing. another thing we have to be working on for the next five years is figuring out our role in higher education as the landscape of higher education changes. the student body is changing. the stereotype of the 19-year-old college student is a thing of the past. now, larger numbers of college students are in the mid to late 20's. what does that mean in terms of they kind of assignments we can have? the opportunities that we have. that is one thing -- just thinking about what we are doing with our students in our classrooms. i think, also, historians are becoming much more willing to be engaged with contemporary events. i think my colleagues do understand that it matters that everything has a history and these are opportunities for us all to figure out how to engage a much wider public. susan: thank you very much for the conversation. good lu
