Extractions: Welcome to the Small World Atlas 2000 website This website is designed to portray current efforts to process images of the various small bodies of the solar system (asteroids and small to mid-size planetary satellites) and to make maps from them. All maps shown here are reduced from their original size. Publication-quality versions at full resolution may be obtained from me on CD-ROM. Contact me via my personal website These maps are all in the public domain. Many are still in experimental stages and should not be regarded as finished. The website is intended to illustrate new methods and data sets for planetary mapping applications, not to be a definitive collection of maps of these bodies. Philip J. Stooke

Extractions: ECONOMICS The National Council for the Social Studies identifies 10 themes in social studies. The one that relates to Geography (III) is called "People, Places and Environment." The guide further provides eleven "Performance Expectations" in this area and gives three examples of how a lesson might be constructed to achieve some of these objectives. Would it be more interesting to the students to contact another student in India during the monsoon season and obtain a variety of reactions/description of the impact on the people from an Indian viewpoint? Would it be more meaningful, challenging? Would the results be more likely to be "integrated" and would the student be more likely to feel he/she is an active participant in the educational process?

Extractions: Geographers study the interaction between human societies and their environments, characterize the regions and localities that result, and analyze the spatial distributions and processes of particular natural and human phenomena. Being equally a natural science and a social science, geography forms a bridge between the physical and human environments. Thus, geographers have always been comfortable applying multidisciplinary approaches to solve real-world problems. Geography Department News

Extractions: WOMEN'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO GEOGRAPHY AND CARTOGRAPHY Until recently, scant attention has been paid to women's contributions to the fields of geography and cartography. A group of articles by Alice C. Hudson, head of the Map Division of the New York Public Library, and Mary McMichael Ritzlin, a map dealer, has revised the erroneous perception that the fields of geography and cartography were solely the province of men.

Extractions: COMPUTATIONAL CARTOGRAPHY is an exciting, informative, and personal hands-on exploration of maps in the digital age. It is an inquiry into how we perceive and represent spatial reality and how we come to know and understand the world around us through the practices of computational cartography. We will examine how computers are changing the age-old media of map-making from the technologies of ink on paper to those of bits, bytes and phosphors on glass screen monitors. We will deconstruct the cultural contexts of mappings from their creation, through their distribution and usage, and ultimately to their obsolescence. We will foreground those coevolutionary mechanisms that link
