Extractions: American Geography MAP T he historian Walter Prescott Webb, in his book The Great Plains , suggested that the northwest Europeans who settled much of the United States faced three great "environmental encounters"areas where climatic conditions were so unlike those of their home region that the agricultural crops and settlement patterns developed in Europe were inappropriate. The first of these encounters was with the high summer temperatures and humidity levels of the Southeast. The second was the arid Southwest and interior West. The third was the great continuous grasslands located astride the center of the country ( Map 10 Among the problems on the grasslands, average annual precipitation was much less than in the East, although violent storms accompanied by high winds, hail, and tornadoes were common. Blizzards with wintry blasts intensifying the cold drove the snow into immense drifts. The hot, dry winds of summer parched the soil and sometimes carried it away in great billowing clouds of dust. The region's sparse natural water supply would not support tree vegetation except along the stream courses. Many of these streams were small and flowed only intermittently. Eastern farmers, accustomed to a plentiful supply of water for crops and animals, as well as ample wood for building, fencing, and heating, had to adapt to quite different conditions in their attempts to settle the Great Plains.

For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible. Appropriate grade or age levels are included with the lesson plans.

Much of the history of the state is the story of the tough, strong-willed Nebraska farmer. In the 1860s, the first great wave of homesteaders poured into Nebraska to claim free land granted by the federal government. Many of the first farm settlers built their homes out of sod because they found so few trees on the grassy land. Tourists can now drive along highways that follow the historic Oregon and Mormon trails. Almost every county has a fair during the summer and many communities hold annual fall festivals. GOVERNMENT

These books, based on observations Garreau made while traveling throughout North America as a journalist, analyze the social and political forces Garreau believes are transforming the geography of contemporary American communities. His ideas have found a ready audience in both academic and nonacademic settings. Both books are fixtures in college classes in anthropology, geography, demography, and urban planning.

New Tool Brings NASA Technology, Space Data To Classrooms including physics, geography, and environmental monitoring. Targeted toinclude all nebraska cities with a population of 5000 or more, http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/97/casdecd.html
Extractions: A new CD-ROM that combines technology, data, and resources from JPL, the University of Nebraska, and several Earth-observing spacecraft will help educators, students, and environmental resource managers learn more about how to apply remotely-sensed data in a variety of disciplines, including physics, geography, and environmental monitoring. Released by the Consortium for the Application of Space Data to Education (CASDE), the CD-ROM contains images taken from the Space Shuttle, aerial and satellite photography of Nebraska and California, tools for analyzing and viewing, prototype lessons and educational "Building Blocks." CASDE is a partnership between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and the Johns Hopkins University. Included on the CD-ROM is a prototype of state-wide electronic snapshots called "Virtual Nebraska." Various types of multispectral images can be accessed as a tool to help provide comprehensive information about selected cities, including vegetation indexes, census data, water boundary information, land use, and other types of agricultural information. Virtual Nebraska will serve as an example of how other states can participate and develop their own virtual states, eventually culminating in "Virtual America," which will include all 50 states.
