Extractions: Traditionally, dialectologists have listed three dialect groups in the United States: Northern, Midland, and Southernalthough some scholars prefer a two-way classification of simply Northern and Southern, and one may also find significant difference on the boundaries of each area. The map shown above represents a synthesis of various independent field studies this century. These are in chronological order: the Linguistic Atlas fieldwork begun under the direction of Hans Kurath in the 1930's; the informal but extensive personal observations of Charles Thomas in the 1940's; the DARE fieldwork of the 1960's under Frederic Cassidy; and the Phonological Atlas fieldwork of William Labov during the 1990's. Although it may seem that a great amount of data has been collected over a short time span, the shifts in American dialects this century have been rapid enough to outpace the data collection. What appears to be a well-entrenched dialect marker today such as the Northern Cities Shift, may barely appear in earlier studiesaffecting both classification and mapping. Nevertheless, some basic observations on current American linguistic geography can be made.

Extractions: School Administrative District #4 Unity of purpose CORE CURRICULUM: SCOPE AND SEQUENCE Department : Social Studies CONTENT STANDARD: GEOGRAPHY The study of geography involves understanding the relationships among people and environments. Students learn how to construct and interpret maps and how to use globes and other geographic tools to locate and derive information about people, places, regions, and environments. In an integrated way, students study people and the physical characteristics and processes of the earth's surface to understand causes and effects, ecosystems, human behavior, patterns of population, inter-dependence, resources, cooperation and conflict and the process by which these are shaped by economic, political, and cultural systems. All students are expected to (1) know how to construct and interpret maps and use globes and other geographic tools to locate and derive information about people, places, regions, and environments; (2) understand and analyze the relationships between people and their physical environments; (3) develop an under-standing of ethnic, gender, socio-economic, religious, and political differences among people; (4) understand that cultural diversity can be both a boon and a bane to society; and (5) understand that cultural change is evolutionary and somewhat predictable.

"The New Geography" By Joel Kotkin former 3Com CEO, lives on a farm in maine. new economy has loosened the traditional rules of economic geography. of urban structure, in which cities are ringed http://www.newgeography.com/IndustryStandard_review.htm
Extractions: I t's hard to guess where business will go these days or why it will go there. Bob Metcalfe, former 3Com CEO, lives on a farm in Maine. Meanwhile, real estate developer Wes Christian is riding high in central-city Houston, where a downtown revival ignores the city's lack of a conventional downtown. And Richard Holcombe runs his software firm in Raleigh, N.C., a once-sleepy backwater where he can now pick and choose programmers from a deep labor pool. The changes taking place in the new economy tie these fellows together, but no simple cause-and-effect can account for their varied stories. It is not surprising then that research connecting high tech and geography is scarce. With The New Geography, journalist and think-tank habitué Joel Kotkin takes the plunge with a comprehensive look at how cyberspace is reshaping physical space. He introduces us to the vanguard of America's transformation whiz kids, new-media managers, bootstrapping immigrants and analysts who figure out what it all means and provides a snapshot of what is really happening on the ground as the industrial era wanes. Kotkin begins with the uncontroversial premise that the new economy has loosened the traditional rules of economic geography. The concentric model of urban structure, in which cities are ringed by suburbs and separated by farmland, no longer holds. The emergent geography, however, lacks form. It is governed by networks and connections, not location.
