In this contribution we report the first systematic study of zircon U-Pb geochronology and δ 18O-εHf(t) isotope geochemistry from 10 islands of the hot-spot related Galapagos Archipelago. The data extracted from the zircons allow them to be grouped into three types: (a) young zircons (0–∼4 Ma) with εHf(t) (∼5–13) and δ 18O (∼4–7) isotopic mantle signature with crystallization ages dating the islands, (b) zircons with εHf(t) (∼5–13) and δ 18O (∼5–7) isotopic mantle signature (∼4–164 Ma) which are interpreted to date the time of plume activity below the islands (∼164 Ma is the minimum time of impingement of the plume below the lithosphere), and (c) very old zircons (∼213–3,000 Ma) with mostly continental (but also juvenile) εHf(t) (∼−28–8) and δ 18O (∼5–11) isotopic values documenting potential contamination from a number of sources. The first two types with similar isotopic mantle signature define what we call the Galápagos Plume Array (GPA). Given lithospheric plate motion, this result implies that GPA zircon predating the Galápagos lithosphere (i.e., >14–164 Ma) formed and were stored at sublithospheric depths for extended periods of time. In order to explain these observations, we performed 2D and 3D thermo-mechanical numerical experiments of plume-lithosphere interaction which show that dynamic plume activity gives rise to complex asthenospheric flow patterns and results in distinct long-lasting mantle domains beneath a moving lithosphere. This demonstrates that it is physically plausible that old plume-derived zircons survive at asthenospheric depths below ocean islands., German Research Foundation (DFG) RO4174/3-1 RO4174/3-3, Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN), Spanish Government, European Commission PID2019-105625RB-C21 PY20_00550, European Research Council (ERC) European Commission MAGMA 771143

A survey was made of all children's books about Chinese, Chinese Americans, or China for pre-kindergarten through third-grade reading level to determine how the books represent the Chinese or Chinese American to the young child. Books included in the study were identified by one or more of the following factors: (1) book title and bibliographic data; (2) Sears Subject Heading; (3) grade reading level; and (4) annotation or resume. An examination of the titles revealed three identifiable themes: Tales and Legends of Ancient China (8 titles); Stories of Pre-WW II China, circa 1920-1935 (7 titles); and Chinese Americans in U. S. Chinatowns (3 titles). The titles are grouped by theme and listed by date of imprint. No picture books were identified as showing life in contemporary China or Taiwan. Results of the survey show that (1) for the most part, the Tales and Legends of Ancient China have been well executed and that Bishop and Wiese's "The Five Chinese Brothers" remains the best known and most popular, exerting strong influence on young children's perceptions of Chinese people; (2) as a group, the stories of Pre-World War II China are old-fashioned and in some cases outdated; Handforth's "Mei Li" was found to be outstanding in this group; and (3) the stories with a U. S. Chinatown setting contain occupational stereotypes; overgeneralize the culture and traditions of Chinese Americans; and show no interaction with the dominant American society, with the exception of Hurd's "The White Horse." It is recommended that authors and publishers be encouraged to produce high quality books that present Chinese and Chinese Americans authentically. (GR)
