description: Bouc (1992) first studied the topological properties of $M_n$, the matching complex of the complete graph of order $n$, in connection with Brown complexes and Quillen complexes. Björner et al. (1994) showed that $M_n$ is homotopically $(ν_n-1)$-connected, where $ν_n=\lfloor{\frac{n+1}{3}}\rfloor-1$, and conjectured that this connectivity bound is sharp. Shareshian and Wachs (2007) settled the conjecture by inductively showing that the $ν_n$-dimensional homology group of $M_n$ is nontrivial, with Bouc's calculation of $H_1(M_7)$ serving as the pivotal base step. In general, the topology of $M_n$ is not very well-understood, even for a small $n$. In the present article, we look into the topology of $M_n$, and $M_7$ in particular, in the light of discrete Morse theory as developed by Forman (1998). We first construct a gradient vector field on $M_n$ (for $n \ge 5$) that doesn't admit any critical simplices of dimension up to $ν_n-1$, except one unavoidable $0$-simplex, which also leads to the aforementioned $(ν_n-1)$-connectedness of $M_n$ in a purely combinatorial way. However, for an efficient homology computation by discrete Morse theoretic techniques, we are required to work with a gradient vector field that admits a low number of critical simplices, and also allows an efficient enumeration of gradient paths. An optimal gradient vector field is one with the least number of critical simplices, but the problem of finding an optimal gradient vector field, in general, is an NP-hard problem (even for $2$-dimensional complexes). We improve the gradient vector field constructed on $M_7$ in particular to a much more efficient (near-optimal) one, and then with the help of this improved gradient vector field, compute the homology groups of $M_7$ in an efficient and algorithmic manner. We also augment this near-optimal gradient vector field to one that we conjecture to be optimal.

description: This thesis examines standards of restoration in museums and historic sites that use historic architecture in their interpretive programs. While no longer on the vanguard of historic preservation, much of the public's first conscious encounter with historic preservation is in these places. Guided by personal whim and institutional politics instead of exhaustive documentation and sound scholarship, the restorations featured in many of these museums vary widely in their quality and authenticity from institution to institution. Yet an unsuspecting public accepts these restorations as the truth. This thesis is organized into four parts. Chapter II examines the history of the development of the historic house museum and the open-air museum while paying particular attention to the restoration standards that developed along with them. The relevance of this chapter lies in the fact that many of those seminal standards still exist in one form or another in contemporary standards of restoration. The next three chapters consist of case studies designed to examine the actual restorations and the circumstances surrounding them. Chapter III studies the influence of personal restoration philosophies of strong-willed clients and managing architects on the restoration of historic house museums. As standards and philosophies changed over the years, these early efforts became the subjects of re-restorations undertaken with yet a new set of standards. Many open-air museums use living history interpretation to fulfill their educational mission. This interactive type of program often relegates the historic building to that of a stage set for the historic drama enacted in its rooms and yards. Chapter IV examines the impact of interpretation on the restoration of these case studies' historic buildings. The National Park Service prefers to preserve instead of restore its historic buildings, but in rare instances it undertakes a restoration. While a NPS restoration might not be superior to those of other organizations, it is subject to management guidelines designed to prevent many of the excesses illustrated in the previous chapters. As Americans continue to visit and dwell upon the nation's historic house museums and open-air museums, those responsible for presenting historical and architectural truth may wish to dwell upon the admonition issued by the Advisory Board on National parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments in 1928: "In attempting to reconcile these claims and motives, the ultimate guide must be the tact and judgment of the men in charge."

description: Data now plays a central role in civic life and community practices. This has created a pressing need for new forms of translation and sense-making that can engage diverse publics. Research-based Theatre (RbT) has proven to be an effective approach to delivering qualitative data to community stakeholders. We extend this tradition by proposing “community-engaged data theatre”. This approach translates quantitative data into theatrical language to engage communities in deliberative conversations on relevant issues. Community-engaged data theatre requires bridging multiple disciplines and involves creating new definitions and shared vocabularies in discourses that formerly have had little overlap in meaning. In this article, we share key insights from our initial experiments in which we adapted quantitative and qualitative data to devise a pilot piece in collaboration with a local community partner. In this essay, we communicate our collaborative process in polyvocal, artistic form. We edit and adapt materials from our conversations and creative practices into scenes illustrating how we taught and learned from each other about data science, participatory modeling, material deliberation and Composition to pilot our lab’s first community-engaged data theatre prototype.

A Marxian Critique of Nonideal Theory
Creators: name: Vanwulven, Tyler
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This paper takes issue with the methodological framework and practices of nonideal theory. I argue that nonideal theory, while attempting to offer a substantive alternative to ideal theory, fails to deliver on its promises insofar as it takes a juridical view of society. The juridical view involves the overwhelming dependence on, employment of, and requirements of, the concept of justice. I contend that nonideal theory should instead adopt a more Marxian approach to social and political philosophy which involves, inter alia, viewing society as an interworking and interdependent totality of needs, production relations, and ideas. Finally, I argue that the juridical view is misguided and, as a result, that nonideal theory, to the extent that it wants to distinguish itself from the dominance of ideal theory, should abandon the discourse of justice altogether.
Preserving Carnegie Libraries in Louisville, Kentucky

description: The great industrialist, Andrew Carnegie, believed he had a moral responsibility to share his considerable wealth in a manner that would best serve the public good. He chose public libraries as his principal philanthropy because he held the democratic ideal that access to culture, education, and enlightenment should be shared by rich and poor alike, based on an easily accessible public education made available through the public library. The scale of his philanthropic endeavor was unprecedented. Between 1893 and 1917, Andrew Carnegie gave a total of $41,748,689 to fund 1,689 public libraries in 1,419 communities across the country. When the last grant was made in 1917, Carnegie was responsible for the construction of over one half of the public libraries in the nation and had implemented the largest and most influential philanthropic program in American history. On the one hundredth anniversary of their construction, only 772 of the 1,689 public libraries constructed still function as public libraries while another 350 still stand but have been adapted to new, non library-related uses. Others have been lost to the wrecking ball and some remain vacant. Their future is uncertain. This thesis finds that Carnegie libraries provide tangible evidence of the Andrew Carnegie's imprint on American education, culture, and architecture. They are an important resource set worthy of preservation. The author examined Carnegie libraries in Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Ohio, and in other cities, and has determined that a preservation plan for continued library stewardship is needed. The plan should speak to the potentials that Carnegie library buildings hold for the community. A multi-faceted approach should be used that addresses architectural styles, character-defining features, and inherent design issues. Identification of the character-defining exterior and interior features of the Carnegie library building should serve as the basis for a preservation plan. After rehabilitation, a cyclical building maintenance plan should be developed and adopted to ensure responsible, long-term stewardship. Protective mechanisms such as local landmark designations and restrictive covenants or easements should also be explored and implemented. By learning more about Carnegie library buildings, librarians and public officials will recognize the functional as well as historic values of these buildings and will realize that these buildings, when rehabilitated "to work" are cost effective.
Impact of Regulation on Historic Vessels in Underway Service

description: This thesis examines the impact of regulations on qualities of integrity retained in operational historic vessels. It begins with a history of maritime preservation tracing how early interest in preserving ships evolved to programs of adaptive reuse. Ships have long been used as a metaphor of the paradox of continuity through change. Historic, philosophical and legal views of this debate led to a comparison of the National Register's seven aspects of integrity as viewed for structures and for vessels. Each of these perspectives agrees that a ship is more than the materials of which it is comprised. Various methods are employed in preserving ships. An evaluation of the impact for each method shows integrity is best preserved in floating static exhibit vessels. Regulations govern seven areas of historic vessel operations: stability, watertight subdivision, structural strength, accommodation, fire safety, lifesaving and crew. Each has an effect on some aspect of integrity. The impact of regulation on integrity is overwhelmingly greater for vessels in adaptive reuse as passenger or educational vessels than for other categories of vessels. A survey of historic vessels in operation and case studies of the Chesapeake Bay skipjacks and schooner Adventure provide evidence of the impact of compliance. The aspects of design, materials, workmanship and feeling are most affected as a direct result of compliance with regulations. Compared to historic structures, few historic vessels survive. To preserve the integrity of this resource, continued debate and a reconsideration of The Secretary of the Interior's Standard for Historic Vessel Preservation Projects is necessary.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are energetic phenomena that have significant implications for understanding fundamental physics and the universe. Recent observations of FRB 121102, FRB 20220912A, and FRB 20201124A by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) showed high burst rates and distinctive energy distribution and temporal properties. In this study, we examine these observations to investigate the scale invariance of the waiting times between bursts for intervals longer than approximately 1 second. Our analysis revealed a unified scaling law for these longer intervals, which is similar to the behavior of solar flares. This discovery inspires us to suggest a dual analogy of the FRB scenario across the entire time intervals: with earthquake dynamics at subsecond scales and with solar flare dynamics beyond the one-second threshold. This threshold potentially aligns with the dynamic time scale of neutron star crusts, offering insight of the occurrence of FRBs into the internal processes of neutron stars.
The Cost of Integration: Grounding the Integration Debate in Black Experience
Creators: name: Breitling, Hansen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis joins the dialogue in political philosophy about the potential necessity for residential integration of poor urban Black people in the U.S. into whiter neighborhoods to correct for injustices (historical and contemporary). Specifically, this thesis examines the disagreement between Tommie Shelby and Elizabeth Anderson over whether residential integration based on race is a requirement of justice. I contribute to their debate by grounding it in the lived experience of Black people, as filtered through a racially sensitive phenomenological framework. I do this by remembering and calling forth the voice of bell hooks, who was forced to shoulder the cost of school integration efforts as a child. I use Sara Ahmed's phenomenological account of whiteness to illustrate that the costs of integration which bell hooks faced decades ago remain relevant and have important implications for any contemporary residential integration efforts.

description: This thesis is an analysis and administrative case study regarding the North Dakota State Historic Sites Registry and its accompanying preservation statutes as preservation tools. These statutes provide state-level approval authority over governmental actions to alter or demolish properties listed in the State Registry. Preservation laws are important but equally important are the implementation of those laws, cooperation, and good communication to achieve successful preservation projects. The thesis explores the State Registry's historical development, amendments to its legislation, and its application to the preservation of the 1883 Stutsman County courthouse. It describes the struggles from 1983 through 1985, of the preservation-minded members of the Jamestown community to save the state's oldest courthouse, and illustrates the role of North Dakota's preservation statutes. Preservation conflicts often pit one set of community values against one another. The conflict over the preservation of the courthouse leads to litigation and legislation. The preservation activities are followed from the listing of the 1883 courthouse in the national and state registers through success in the North Dakota Supreme Court. The thesis documents the legislative amendments prior to, during, and following the preservation of the courthouse, places the amendments within the context of the courthouse preservation effort. This study finds that North Dakota's State Registry statutes are outstanding as a state tool in their protection of state register. properties. A table offers a comparison between the statutes of North Dakota and those of other states and territories. Finally,this study reflects on the case history and offers recommendations for improving State Registry statutes, procedures, and requirements in order to make it a more effective preservation tool.
Epistemic Injustice in White Academic Feminism
Creators: name: Donnelly, Mary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This paper will focus on the ways in which white feminist academics commit epistemic injustice in their approach to the work of women of color (WOC). Drawing from feminist epistemology, particularly the works of Miranda Fricker, Gaile Pohlhaus, and Kristie Dotson, I aim to show that white feminist academics' (WFA) treatment of WOC's work takes the form of willful hermeneutical ignorance that results in contributory injustice. Among the objections I address is the concern that attempts to solve the problem of contributory injustice may lead to the epistemic exploitation of WOC, as well as the fact that WFAs themselves face a second-class status within academic philosophy.

description: Research indicates that there is a significant concentration of Populuxe motels worthy of preservation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Not built for posterity, these motels are representative of a brief period of American prosperity and optimism, 1945- 1963. This thesis considers the economic issues involved in preservation of buildings of the recent past using the Wildwoods, New Jersey, as a model. The Wildwoods are approximately ten years into their preservation efforts. This work examines specifically what they have accomplished, what their goals are, and how Myrtle Beach can apply their methods.

Metaethical Contextualism and the Problem of Disagreement: When Somebody Must Be Wrong
Creators: name: Loveall, Bradley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Metaethical contextualism is a form of moderate contextualism according to which the truth-conditions of normative utterances are sensitive to some salient standard, norm, or theory that is determined by the context of utterance. Metaethical contextualism implies that two speakers might utter grammatically contradictory normative sentences without expressing contradictory propositions, leaving the view vulnerable to the 'problem of lost disagreement'. The problem of lost disagreement occurs when two parties to a dispute disagree, but their utterances don't express exclusionary truth-conditional content: they might both be right. While metaethical contextualists have proposed plausible solutions to the problem of lost disagreement, these solutions are ultimately unsatisfying, at least in contexts where one would expect exclusionary truth-conditional content. In this paper, I develop a form of metaethical contextualism that predicts exclusionary truth-conditional content in some contexts of disagreement, thereby assuaging any concerns that metaethical contextualism fails to adequately account for normative disagreement.

Hegelian Freedom and the Communitarian Critique of the Market

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Market structures have come to dominate every area of our society, and market logic'in the form of rational choice theory, the law and economics movement, and the like'has equally dominated our thinking about society. In this thesis, I will examine one critique of this state of affairs: that offered by G.W.F. Hegel. I compare Hegel's critique of the market to the similar critique of modern communitarians like Charles Taylor and Michael Sandel, and argue that Hegel's distinctive conception of freedom allows him to capture what is right about the modern communitarian view while avoiding most of the common criticisms.

Need Evolutionary Debunking Arguments Rely on a Particular Metaphysical Construal of Evaluative Facts?
Creators: name: Foster, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Sharon Street's evolutionary debunking argument'her Darwinian Dilemma'is meant to challenge value realists to reconcile the evaluative attitudes we tend to hold, shaped as they are by evolution, with the attitude-independent evaluative facts that realists posit. Ramon Das argues that Street's argument relies on illicit metaphysical assumptions about evaluative facts, and that these assumptions beg the question against a particular form of value realism called naturalist realism. I argue that Street makes no such metaphysical assumptions, and that her argument requires no particular metaphysical construal of evaluative facts to work. I further argue that any objection of the kind Das raises'those that turn on the metaphysical underpinnings of evaluative facts'is unlikely to succeed against Street's Darwinian Dilemma.
Reining In The Passions: The Role Of Emotions In Understanding Self-Control
Creators: name: McGuire, Mara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, I consider a philosophical model of self-control recently developed by Chandra Sripada (2010, 2012) and inspired by current dual-process models in both the sciences of the mind and philosophy. Sripada argues that the mind is bifurcated into two motivational systems that correspond to Emotion and Reason and that to exercise self-control is to act in accordance with reason when it comes into conflict with emotion. I argue that Sripada's model rests on two false assumptions, that emotions are cognitively impenetrable and that self-control is always about taming our emotions. Based on these arguments, I conclude that our capacity for self-control cannot be understood in terms of a divided-mind and consider a structural model of self-control recently developed by Kentaro Fujita (2016).

Schopenhauer on Aesthetic Experience
Creators: name: McKinley, Robert
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Arthur Schopenhauer defends the view that aesthetic experience is disinterested and objective. Traditionally, this view is taken to mean that aesthetic experience involves the suspension of all affective states and a passive attitude toward the object of contemplation. However, A. E. Denham argues that Schopenhauer's view is more complex than traditionally thought. In particular, she claims that he sees aesthetic experience as involving passionate and active engagement with the object of contemplation. In this paper, I argue that a close reading of Schopenhauer's texts reveals that the traditional view is better supported than Denham's. In addition, I consider some objections to Schopenhauerian disinterestedness and objectivity that highlight the extremity of his view in a way that Denham's interpretation fails to appreciate.

Nietzsche's Art of Interpretation: The Role of the Epigraph in GM III
Creators: name: McCoy, Ryan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Prior to the third essay of his Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche affixes a fragment from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The purpose of the fragment seems explicit in the Genealogy's preface where Nietzsche tells us that the essay is a commentary on an aphorism. However, the relationship of the fragment to the third essay is unclear. In response, several commentators have offered a solution: namely, to disregard the fragment from Zarathustra and to read the first section of the third essay as the object of Nietzsche's commentary. Since this reading, the puzzle concerning Nietzsche's aphorism has been considered solved. In this thesis, I make a case for (i) why we should revive this debate, (ii) why we should restore the most natural reading of the preface, which makes the fragment from Zarathustra the aphorism Nietzsche refers to there, and (iii) how we can make sense of its connection to the third essay.

description: Background: We have previously reported that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is an active process in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) contributing to arterial remodelling. Here, we aim to quantify drivers of EndMT in IPF patients compared to normal controls (NCs). Methods: Lung resections from thirteen IPF patients and eleven NCs were immunohistochemically stained for EndMT drivers, including TGF-β1, pSmad-2/3, Smad-7, and β-catenin. Intima, media, and adventitia were analysed for expression of each EndMT driver in pulmonary arteries. Computer- and microscope-assisted Image ProPlus7.0 image analysis software was used for quantifications. Results: Significant TGF-β1, pSmad-2/3, Smad-7, and β-catenin expression was apparent across all arterial sizes in IPF (p < 0.05). Intimal TGF-β1, pSmad-2/3, Smad-7, and β-catenin were augmented in the arterial range of 100–1000 μm (p < 0.001) compared to NC. Intimal TGF-β1 and β-catenin percentage expression showed a strong correlation with the percentage expression of intimal vimentin (r′ = 0.54, p = 0.05 and r′ = 0.61, p = 0.02, respectively) and intimal N-cadherin (r′ = 0.62, p = 0.03 and r′ = 0.70, p = 0.001, respectively). Intimal TGF-β1 and β-catenin expression were significantly correlated with increased intimal thickness as well (r′ = 0.52, p = 0.04; r′ = 0.052, p = 0.04, respectively). Moreover, intimal TGF-β1 expression was also significantly associated with increased intimal elastin deposition (r′ = 0.79, p = 0.002). Furthermore, total TGF-β1 expression significantly impacted the percentage of DLCO (r′ = −0.61, p = 0.03). Conclusions: This is the first study to illustrate the involvement of active TGF-β/Smad-2/3-dependent and β-catenin-dependent Wnt signalling pathways in driving EndMT and resultant pulmonary arterial remodelling in patients with IPF. EndMT is a potential therapeutic target for vascular remodelling and fibrosis in general in patients with IPF.

description: The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities is sometimes limited by local defects. To investigate the RF properties of these local defects, especially those that nucleate RF magnetic vortices, a near-field magnetic microwave microscope is employed. Local third harmonic response (P3f) and its temperature-dependence and RF power-dependence are measured for one Nb/Cu film grown by Direct Current Magnetron Sputtering (DCMS) and six Nb/Cu films grown by High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) with systematic variation of deposition conditions. Five out of the six HiPIMS Nb/Cu films show a strong third harmonic response that is likely coming from RF vortex nucleation due to a low-Tc surface defect with a transition temperature between 6.3 K and 6.8 K, suggesting that this defect is a generic feature of air-exposed HiPIMS Nb/Cu films. A phenomenological model of surface defect grain boundaries hosting a low-Tc impurity phase is introduced and studied with Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) simulations of probe/sample interaction to better understand the measured third harmonic response. The simulation results show that the third harmonic response of RF vortex nucleation caused by surface defects exhibits the same general features as the data, including peaks in third harmonic response with temperature, and their shift and broadening with higher microwave amplitude. We find that the parameters of the phenomenological model (the density of surface defects that nucleate RF vortices and the depth an RF vortex travels through these surface defects) vary systematically with film deposition conditions. From the point of view of these two properties, the Nb/Cu film that is most effective at reducing the nucleation of RF vortices associated with surface defects can be identified.

A Critique of Compatibilist-Libertarianism
Creators: name: Peck, Zachary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Christian List has recently defended what he refers to as a compatibilist-libertarian theory of free will. He attempts to satisfy the libertarian requirement for alternative possibilities without assuming the falsity of physical determinism. To do so, List relies on a multi-level modal theory that he developed with Marcus Pivato. In this theory, List and Pivato demonstrate the compatibility of physical determinism and agential indeterminism. The success of compatibilist-libertarianism essentially hinges upon whether or not List and Pivato's theory is truly consistent with a non-hypothetical conception of possibility. In this paper, I argue that, despite his attempt to distance himself from a standard compatibilist (i.e. hypothetical) conception of possibility, List remains committed to such a hypothetical conception. I also argue that List's theory of agential causation is implausible given his modal interpretation of agency. Therefore, I conclude that compatibilist-libertarianism is an implausible theory of free will.
Rawls's Political Liberalism: Historicist Or Kantian?
Creators: name: Mac, Linh
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Rainer Forst views Rawls's Political Liberalism (PL) as 'a non-comprehensive Kantian moral-political theory,' arguing that the political conception of justice is justified using practical reason alone. In contrast, Burton Dreben holds that 'Kant's talk about practical reason is useless for understanding Rawls.' This thesis argues that Dreben's reading fits better with the project of PL. Forst mistakenly treats political conceptions of justice as if they were categorical imperatives that independently determine the reasonableness of comprehensive doctrines, resulting in his overlooking an important feature of Rawls's political constructivism that distinguishes it from Kant's moral constructivism'the public justification of political conceptions of justice, given reasonable pluralism. Forst does not adequately take into account the ways in which fundamental ideas implicit in the public political culture of constitutional liberal democracies justify the political conception of justice.

Civil Disobedience and the Duty to Obey the Law:  A Critical Assessment of Lefkowitz's View
Creators: name: Pizzato, John
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: In this paper I critically assess David Lefkowitz's view that the right to political participation encompasses a right to suitably constrained civil disobedience. I claim that his argument is not successful because it has an explanatory gap. I then examine two strategies for repairing his argument. The first attempts to show that acts of civil disobedience fulfill the duty to obey the law. The second attempts to establish that the moral value of civil disobedience outweighs the moral value of obeying the law. I argue that both strategies may be successful'to a certain extent'but only the latter can establish a right to civil disobedience.
Isolated Sacred Value Theory: An Account of Moral Conative Attitudes
Creators: name: Pecotic, Adrian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, I propose a novel theory of sacred values, which are a recently proposed type of conative attitude meant to account for religious and political actions that are incomprehensible using theories of rational choice (Atran 2016; Baron & Spranca 1997; Tetlock et. al. 2000). Sacred values are unique mental states because they encode unconditional preferences for certain privileged outcomes. I develop Isolated Sacred Value Theory by formulating two decision principles that reflect behavior in morally-relevant circumstances: the inviolability principle and the unrankability principle. Having formulated my proposal, I consider the impact of my proposal on extant theories of rational choice (e.g. von Neumann & Morgenstern 1944). Lastly, I apply ISVT to problems regarding the typical extension of sacred values and the possibility of immoral actions.
The Preservation of Napa Valley's 19th Century Agri-Industrial Historic Landscape

description: This thesis is an examination of the impacts of the re-emergent modern wine industry on related historic resources in the Napa Valley. Recognized historic preservation interpretive methods were used to study and evaluate extant winery and vineyard landscapes established in the late 19th century during this region's initial and short-lived wine growing boom. Today's social and economic factors influencing historic preservation, degrees of intervention, and the approach to and intensity of land use were also examined. This study concludes that the Napa Valley, despite the dynamic qualities of the vineyard landscape in association with the variable approaches to historic preservation found here, can be interpreted as a collection of a specific property type, an historic district of wine growing properties. This thesis first examined the natural and historic context in which the Napa Valley wine industry was established. These findings were used to establish a period of historic significance as a basis against which to evaluate the preservation and degrees of intervention applied to historic winery buildings today. The study was then broadened to look at the properties as agri-industrial historic landscapes comprised of buildings, structures, objects, sites, systems, and natural and cultivated vegetation. A greater understanding of the region, as defined by this framework, was pursued by reviewing past preservation efforts that have affected these local historic resources. This included an examination of the resulting collective changes and continuity that define the region today, and exploration of how such a dynamic landscape has retained its historic integrity. Within the boundaries of the Napa Valley are natural resources, vineyards, old and new wine growing estates, and small communities. Significant wine growing properties with high levels of integrity, as well as rich histories, are extant throughout the valley. The balance and relationship of all of these resources is crucial to the retention of the region's historic sense of place. But with the continued pressures to develop new wineries and alter additional natural resources for the purpose of expanding vineyards, as well as the lack of historic preservation ordinances, the integrity and historic character found here is threatened. The establishment of historic preservation tools and programs, developed and proven successful elsewhere, is essential to the future economic development and growth management within the Napa Valley.
