SAGT's Scottish Geographical News arrived today, complete with CD of useful resources, especially power point presentations, including a lot of very interesting, eye catching presentations by the Geography department at Balfron, lookking at the varous topics of Higher courses such as Rural Land Resources and S1/2 units such as Scotland and Climate change.
The SAGT website contains plenty of helpful links.
This month's National Geographic includes a feature on Dharavi, one of Mumbai's slum areas-it complements the case study on Mumbai that appears in Calvin Clarke's Intermediate textbook, and is a helpful reminder to pupils revising urbanisation and rural-urban migration.
The Independent which has been giving prominance to climate change carries a story about Australia's current drought crisis, "the most crippling drought on record". Many of the problems are alleged to stem from inadequate planning in areas where the population has grown too fast, eg around Brisbane, meaning that demand for water far outstrips availability.
