Egypt: Nubia In Modern And Ancient Times History of Nubia from ancient times to the present, plus essays on the geography of Nubia, its political divisions and names over time, and its culture and traditions; from TourEgypt. http://touregypt.net/historicalessays/nubia.htm
Extractions: Nubia Nubia is located in today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The modern inhabitants of southern Egypt and Sudan still refer to themselves as Nubians. They speak the Nubian language as well as Arabic. Thousands of Nubians from the north were forced to relocate from their endangered homelands to be resettled in Egypt and Sudan. This land has one of the harshest climates in the world. The temperatures are high throughout most of the year, and rainfall is infrequent. The banks of the Nile are narrow in much of Nubia, making farming difficult. Yet, in antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense which was always prized by her neighbors. Nubia is the homeland of Africa's earliest black culture with a history which can be traced from 3100 BC onward through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome. The land of Nubia is a desert divided by the river Nile. For want of water and rich soil, most of Nubia has never been able to support a large population for long periods. However, some of Africa's greatest civilizations emerged here, centers of achievement whose existence was based on industry and trade. Because they did not write their own languages until very late in ancient times, we know these centers and their people largely through their archaeology and what the Egyptians and Greeks said about them.

Is Geomorphology Within Geography Or Geology? Extended discussion of the question whether geomorphology is a subdiscipline of geology or of physical geography. http://main.amu.edu.pl/~sgp/gw/gggeo/gggeo.html
Extractions: Subject: geomorphology as a field of study I have a question for everyone. What do you say to the geologists who claim that there is no longer a need for the study of geomorphology, that it is nothing more than physical geology? Our school is in the process of a semester conversion, and the geomorphology course was a casulty of the process. Geology dropped it, but I was successful in adding it to the geography curriculum. There seems to be no small degree of antipathy toward the subject among the geologists here on campus. So, I wondered how others have handled the question. Thanks, Paul R. Larson Paul R.

Extractions: Summary File 3 SF3: This collection of summary files is probably the most important and frequently used data product from the 2000 census. In keeping with its importance, the MCDC has created a number of applications that permit relatively easy access to the data. This includes an extensive collection of dynamically-generated dp3_2k demographic profiles (short reports for long lists of geographic entities down to the block group, tract and ZIP code level), as well as a series of very detailed demographic profiles (9 profile reports and a total of 58 pages for each geographic area). See Demographic Profile Products for additional information regarding the Profile series. If you just want to access the gist of the data available from these files using our Dexter software you should explore the SF3-based data directory ("filetype").
