Geography and the Classical World
In the late eighteenth century, a new subject emerged that was one of the earliest forms of historical geography. It was called ancient geography or classical geography. Geographers, historians and classicists all contributed to its rise, as it flourished in both Britain and America. Yet in the 1920s, as geography took a different turn, the subject began to decline. As a result the story has been omitted from more recent histories of geography and indeed from the classical tradition. William Koelsch's pioneering volume in the Tauris Historical Geography Series is the first full-length work to explore the emergence of the subject, its successes and failures, and to explore its role in the geographical tradition. The author gives equal prominence to the story as it unfolded in both Britain and America. The result is a work of outstanding scholarship that reveals a rich and important part of the geographical and classical tradition that has until now been overlooked -- Editor.

Praktikumsbericht / -arbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Raumwissenschaften, Stadt- und Raumplanung, Note: "keine," "Bundesamt fur Bauwesen und Raumordnung, Bonn-Mehlem" (Bundesamt fur Bauwesen und Raumordnung, Bonn-Mehlem), Veranstaltung: Praktikum, 4 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Europa ist durch eine vergleichsweise hohe Stadtedichte gekennzeichnet. Durch Verbesserungen der Kommunikations- und Transportmoglichkeiten wird die Erreichbarkeit der Stadte und somit auch ihre Konkurrenz untereinander zunehmend erhoht. Kleine und mittelgrosse Stadte (Small and Medium Sized Towns, SMESTOs"), die sich in Reichweite grosserer Zentren (zum Beispiel Metropolregionen) befinden, haben besonders unter dieser Konkurrenz zu leiden . Im folgenden Text soll dargestellt werden, welche Strategien in den ESPON Projekten (European Spatial Planning Observation Network) der Europaischen Union zur Entwicklung von SMESTOs vorgeschlagen werden. Dabei soll auch auf die verwendeten Methoden zur Definition von landlichen Raumen und SMESTOs eingegangen werden sowie anhand einiger Beispiele zur Anschaulichkeit der Erlauterungen beigetragen werde
After Gregory
From the author of the lost masterpiece, Tony and Susan, comes a kind of intellectual who dunnit, a novel with the thrill of the chase combined with a meditation on who we are, and who we might like to be. Peter Gregory, a 35-year-old high school English teacher with an ex-wife and kids, tries to drown himself in the Ohio River. Failing to manage even that, he decides to hitch a ride east, fleeing the state and escaping accusations of rape and murder. As he assumes and discards aliases along the way, he believes that he can begin again, a fresh start - but the past has a habit of catching up with all of us, no matter how fast we run...
