    Population Geography
    • Population Geography is the study of spatial variations in distribution, density, composition and growth of human numbers on earth.
    • It is important because it links all other aspects of geography together.
    Demography
    • Demography is the study of population characteristics.
    • It is significant because
    • There are more people living today than any other time in history.
    • There's been a population explosion since World War 2.
    • There is an inverse relationship between population growth and resources i.e. there are too many people in places without enough resources to support them and too few people in areas with over abundant resources
    Thomas Malthus
    • Thomas Malthus, was a British Clergyman/economist.
    • He came up with the Malthusian Theory of Population Growth. The salient points of his theory were
    • Food production increased at an arithmetic ratio (1, 2, 3...) while population increased at an exponential ratio (1, 2, 4, 8...).
    • Population growth would outstrip food supply, and mass starvation would follow.

    School project about the River Liffey in Dublin compiled by students from Elanora Heights Primary School. Illustrates how a local river can be used as a focus for studies of local culture, geography, and environmental issues.
    http://www.iol.ie/~ndnsp/rivers/liffey1.htm
    Computer Co-ordinator : Judith Bennett : This page was received from the Elanora Heights Primary School on 22nd Mar, 1996
    The reports come from the students of Gerard Maloney of the North Dublin National School Project , Ireland.
    The Liffey River, Dublin, Ireland
    Location
    The river Liffey is the main river in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It rises in Sally Gap near Kippure in Wicklow, the county just south of Dublin. It then travels one hundred and twenty five kilometres through the centre of Dublin City, and out into Dublin Bay, and out to the Irish Sea.
    There are lots of bridges along the Liffey such as the Ha'penny bridge so called because it used to cost half a penny to cross it, and O'Connell bridge. The last bridge on the river is a toll bridge called the East Link , which is four hundred metres from the mouth of the Liffey.
    Tadhg O.
    THE LIFFEY BRIDGES
    On the river Liffey there are 16 bridges.The first is the Anna Livia Bridge.
    THE ANNA LIVIA BRIDGE
    The Anna Livia Bridge was originally named Chapelizod Bridge, but it changed on 5th April 1982 and became the Anna Livia Bridge in honour of James Joyce, author of the world famous novel "Finnegan's Wake". He called the river Anna Livia Plurabelle.The bridge is built on an ancient Ford site on the old highway leading to the west of Ireland.

    At Howland Island
    Real Audio
    Log Transcript We have arrived at Howland Island. It would be hard to imagine a smaller, flatter, more featureless place. It's kidney shaped, with its longest axis only 1½ miles, and an average height above sea level under 25 feet. To expose those 25 feet, however, the base rises through more than three miles of water, so that the island is just the very top of a 16,000 foot, underwater mountain. It looks as though any serious storm surge accompanying a typhoon would sweep unobstructed across it. (Typhoons are what people out here in the western Pacific call hurricanes) but equatorial latitudes don't experience typhoons or hurricanes, so perhaps that never happens. At our anchorage and from the deck of the Odyssey there is no visible sign of human occupation save a short, low stone wall. From the mast, however, we can see that it's a flat bulldozed plain of coral sand, without a single tree and with what appear to be bits of ruins scattered over it. Howland does have one notable feature, however, and it's visible several miles away: a solitary, painted tower reminiscent at a distance of a tombstone. It's called the Amelia Earhart beacon. Its complete isolation and loneliness underlines, poignantly, the loneliness of her ocean perishing. The National Parks service is making strong efforts to prevent the importation of foreign species to Howland Island, and they take elaborate precautions to make sure that no one brings in insect eggs, or plant seeds on their clothing. So after years of exploitation and neglect, Howland has a new policy: in Amelia Earhart's day everything that could be done to facilitate her arrival from foreign parts was done. Now everything that can be done to prevent arrivals from foreign parts is done. But I support that policy: it makes excellent biological sense. Howland Island has become a particularly clear example of how humanity sometimes changes its priorities for the better in but a single human lifetime.

    RPG Index Anna's Fantasy Fudge
    The Vale of Wizards
    Since the advent of Vampire: the Masquerade first edition, it's become almost compulsory to begin sections with a quotation. For the Vale of Wizards I have chosen to paraphrase Dr. Johnson: "This game is both good and original. Unfortunately, that which is good is not original; and that which is original is not good." The Vale of Wizard is a campaign setting designed for high fantasy adventures. In other words, if the physics, geography and ecology is a bit on the dodgy side, you can put it down to magic. (Or my lousy world design - either way, don't bug me about it.) I've tried to stay as close to the myriad High Fantasy cliches as possible. Anyone who wants a bit of subtle intriegue and shades-of-grey morality really ought to be reading something else. Try the Fief of York , a campaign setting for Vampire: the Masquerade. The setting as presented is far from complete. Hopefully, there is enough information for anyone who wants to use ideas or setting from the Vale of Wizards to be able to, although a fair amount of work will need to be done. I'll add more detail as I write it.

  • Begin at the Powell St. BART station. Go north up Powell; turn left on Ellis, then right on Mason.
  • Along Mason, from about Post to Sacramento, is the district of the residential hotels and apartments. This area was built up in the 1920's and 1930's and housed nearly all young single people; 65% were women, most of whom worked downtown as clerks, office workers, etc. There are some nice Art Deco apartment houses here. This area is currently a well-mixed neighborhood, with whites, Hispanics, and Asians. It is very heterogeneous by age and by income, though no very poor or very rich live here.
  • At Sutter, go right (east) for a block and a half to 450 Sutter, to see a fabulous Art Deco building with an astonishing Mayan tomb-like lobby.
  • Back on Mason, just south of Sacramento, on the right (east) side of the street, is a hotel. Take the glass elevator (at the east end of the building) to the top floor to get a great sky view of the city.
