The western tip of the island of Sumatra - the closest inhabited area to the earthquake's epicentre - was devastated. Some coastal villages are thought to have lost more than 70% of inhabitants. Much of the fishing and agricultural sectors in Aceh province was heavily damaged and 44% of people lost their livelihoods, according to the Asian Development Bank. Toll: More than 128,000 people died, while at least 37,000 others remain missing. The exact number of victims will probably never be known. Six months on, decomposing bodies and skeletons are still being found. About 500,000 people were made homeless. Aid: After the tsunami more than 160 aid organisations and UN agencies began operations in Indonesia to provide food shelter and schooling. Foreign troops were also involved in initial emergency relief efforts. Agencies estimate a humanitarian response may be needed for up to two years. Much work has been done to clear debris. But reconstruction work got off to a slow start. A senior official said in May he was shocked at how little had been done. Hold-ups in approval for projects and funds have been blamed.

(Z) The Shock of the New: 100 Concepts Describing Recent Urban Change P.J. Taylor and R.E. Lang SHOCKING SOCIAL SCIENCE 100 WAYS TO DESCRIBE RECENT URBAN CHANGE In Table 1 we have compiled two lists of terminologies used to describe new metropolitan forms and new inter city relations. Finding 50 examples of each was not a particularly onerous task; the lists are most certainly not intended to be comprehensive. The main point of the table is simply its size. The fact that there are at least 100 ways of describing recent urban change in the literature is a remarkable finding. To be sure, some concepts have been more influential than the others - for list A we might identify 'edge city' and for list B 'world city hierarchy' - and part of the proliferation of labels derives from debates surrounding these prominent concepts. But this is only a small part of the story. Creative imaginations are at work in using metaphors and analogies (galaxy/galactic, archipelago, lynchpin, etc.) to try and capture what is going on spatially in the new urbanism. In both lists there is some recycling of old terms (e.g. 'suburban' and 'hierarchy') plus some fresh innovative ways of describing the new circumstances. But why so many new concepts?

Thematic Dudley Knox Library's Map Collection is located on the first floor. The collection supports and enhances the research and scholarship of the School curriculums by providing visual and geographic coordination of data. This collection contains selected single sheet and portfolio maps available from federal depository, military ( National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency formerly National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), which succeeded Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) ], and commercial sources. Although consisting of mostly current material, some older resources are retained for historical research, focusing primarily on military history and NSA studies. Material is acquired in support of the curriculum and degree programs of the school. Emphasis is placed on acquiring international materials and resources in significant military arenas. Our maps do circulate to on-campus users. We can also order maps for our patrons, but this does take time so please start early. Restricted/Classified Materials (RRS): A complementary collection of material is available in Restricted Resources.
