The Southeastern Anatolia Region The Geographical Regions of Turkey The First Geography Congress, which was convened in Ankara in 1941, at the conclusion of the research that had continued for a long time, separated Turkey into seven geographical regions.
During the congress activities, the fact that Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides, the presence of mountain ranges lying parallel to the length of the long coastline, the fact that these mountains separate the high, but slightly steep and uneven central section from the influence of the sea and because of this, factors such as the climate, natural plant cover and the distribution of types of agriculture, and the influences of these on the transportation systems and the types of housing between the coastal strip and the central sections, had been taken into consideration and it was possible to divide Turkey into four border and three inner regions.
The first four of the seven regions determined were given the names of the seas which are adjacent to them (the Black Sea , the

How to Read a City: A Geographic Perspective
" by Kit Salter, Magazine of History (Fall, 1990) 68 - 71.
What is the Essence of Geographic Literacy? Urban Field Trip Lesson WebQuest Lesson
by Kit Salter
In one of Garrison Keillor's strongest ""News from Lake Woebegon" monologues, he chronicles a college professor's thoughts about going to a professional meeting in another city. He is planning to go not with his wife, but with an attractive younger woman, also a professor, who has given him a good deal of confidence because of her admiration of his skill in Classics.
Keillor's character - not one of the regulars in Lake Woebegon - steps out of his home and stands in the front yard in the early evening, awaiting the arrival of his colleague. As he looks up in the night sky he admits to himself that he has adultery on his mind as he anticipates this twoperson trek to papers, publishers, and privacy.
However, as his eyes track up and down this small town street, he contemplates the fabric of his community and the importance of honesty and trust. As he considers these elements that hold the town together, he imagines the collapse of the whole community as a consequence of breaking such a moral pattern himself. He even involves the local grade-school geography teacher in his fantasy.

http://www.ancientsandals.com/info_introduction.htm
home videos guided tours articles ... iPIX Introduction by author Dr. Terry C. Hulbert
Why is East "up" on Sandals' maps?
Our east-oriented maps of the Holy Land are consistent both with the biblical data and with the way people in the land oriented themselves geographically throughout their history. Our four directions of the compass (north, south, east, west) are terms foreign to ancient culture. The Bible refers to the north as saphon, which means "toward the hidden region," to the south as negeb, the region of the Negev, to the west as 'am ("sea"), referring to the Mediterranean Sea, and to the east as qedem, "the region in front." Each of these four terms occurs in Gen 13:14-15 in the record of Yahweh's promise of the land to Abraham and his descendants. The Bible refers to the east as the direction where the sun rises and to the west to where the sun sets (Ps 103:12). The south is also called the "region of the right hand" and the north "the region of the left hand." Jacob named the last of his twelve children Benjamin, "son of the right hand" or "son of the south." Benjamin was born near Ephrath (Bethlehem) in the south in contrast to his other eleven sons who were born in the north (Gen 35:16-18). This east-orientation perspective continued even after the biblical period. For instance, The Medeba Map (about A.D. 565), crafted of over two million colored stone cubes, locates Jerusalem in the foreground and shows the Jordan River in the background flowing from the left (north) into the Dead Sea on the right (south).

    Hannover is a German city. But this project deals with the larger area which is presently a province in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany. This area was the Kingdom of Hannover in the early 1800's. It became a province of Prussia in 1866 and then part of Germany after unification of Germany in 1871. The history and geography of this area are included in some of the referenced web sites. Any comments and additions to this list would be welcome! E-mail to: arnielang@att.net HANNOVER WEB SITES
