The paper includes color graphs, charts and diagrams.
Outline:
Introduction
Understanding Urban Economic Geography
Neo-liberalism and Urban Restructuring
Growth of Neo-liberalism in North America - Some Contradictions for Urban Economic Geography
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The paper will provide a unique outlook on geographic thought, since it will be done with the necessary analytical tools used in the social sciences. Urban economic geography is one of the few specializations that can simultaneously analyze a complex issue such as neo-liberalism and its economic and political implications in the domestic and international realm and aspects of urban geography. The analysis will provide some insight into the spatial geographic development within the US as the issue is examined within the urban context."

Abstract
Geography, as a science, has two main branches--physical geography and human geography. This paper examines how, while physical geography deals with all aspects related to the environment, human geography handles much more sensitive issues, such as how the human being, as an individual and in a group, blends into the environment he lives in and how certain processes develop within such a group. It also looks at how more specifically, human geography is concerned with such aspects as political, economical, social or demographic geography, anything related to human activity and evolvement in a geographic context.
From the Paper
"In terms of social geography as part of human geography, perhaps no other book exemplifies the traditional human relations and traditions still existing in Gabon, part of Western Africa, nowadays. If we consider Africa and Gabon, as an integrant part of the African continent, we may point out towards three separate historical periods that determine local cultural geography. These are pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial .
One of the characteristics of African culture, including Gabonese traditions, is the fact that while historically and temporarily, the countries of Africa belong to the 21st century, in many cases, the tribal traditions have persisted in many regions and these clearly belong to pre-colonial times."

Geography: The Study of the Earth, 2002.

Abstract
The paper discusses the importance of teaching geography to students - a subject which provides the tools for students to read a map, understand international news reports, follow economic trends and weather reports. The paper shows that without this knowledge, Americans would have little understanding of the world beyond their borders and remain isolationist in nature.
From the Paper
"Geography helps us understand why some countries are important to us even when we are not the best of friends. For example: China is the largest country in the Far East. We are not that friendly with them, but we tolerate each other. If we didn't have a mutually helpful trade agreement, relations might be even more strained. The Chinese understand this and even have a saying for it. "W?nh?a sh? m?i yu guj?e de," which means, "Culture has no national borders." According to a paper written by Clarissa Smith, "In the age of mass media and instant communication, this must be more true than ever, even in a highly controlled society.? "

Abstract
For all the realities of globalization, nations cannot escape their own geo-history. Culture, religion, geography, ethnicity, all combine to squarely place a given nation on a map surrounded by its neighbors, who have been there through the millennia. In the past, this familiarity has often produced contempt and war. Today, however, many nations, both developed and developing, are finding comfort in regional strength through favored-nation economics blocs, such as EU, ASEAN, NAFTA, and Mercosur. While the barriers to economic growth are being lowered, the cultures and traditional values in each country seem to be locked-in. This essay illustrates how these contradictory effects work in international marketing by analyzing the cultural diversities within the economic blocs, whatever inside and outside.
From the Paper
"Between 1990 and 1994, the GATT was informed of 33 regional trading arrangements, nearly a third of all deals since 1948. By now there are only a few countries, including Japan, that do not belong to any formal economic blocs, according to the survey of the field taken by the World Trade Organization (WTO, the successor to GATT), on the occasion of its inauguration (WTO, 1995, 27). If the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) is counted as a regional trading arrangement of sorts, then virtually all countries now belong to at least one such club."

Abstract
The recent Government drive to integrate information communication technology (ICT) into compulsory education has lead to much activity in schools. It is the purpose of this paper to investigate how far and how effectively ICT is currently being used within geography teaching and to establish the key issues that effect ICT being included within the geography classroom at key stage 3.
Outline
Key Issues Concerning the Use of ICT in Geography at KS 3
The Role and Benefits of ICT in Geography
Ideas for Promoting Better Use of ICT in the Geography Classroom
From the Paper
"The speed and automatic function of ICT, offers a number of advantages to teachers of Secondary Geography. It can for example enable the drawing of graphs, so that pupils can observe change, e.g. variations between seasons or variations of weather in temperate and tropical countries, or so that pupils can compare similar elements in data between contrasting localities, e.g. comparing bus services in rural and urban areas in the UK. Data can be sensed and stored automatically, so that monthly and seasonal patterns can be graphed from daily readings at a later date."

A Manifesto for Global Geography
From the Paper
"Today, in the process of focusing on teaching to standards and preparing for achievement tests, teachers may easily lose sight of the glaring global problems that need to be addressed in social studies classes Typically, teachers present such issues in contexts that are closest to the student (e.g., school, community). Research has shown though, that studying world geography provides students with the analytical skills they will need to understand a problem from an international perspective. World geography can also help students understand the concept of an economic region."

Urban Geography, 2005.

Abstract
The book and the two articles chosen for review were selected as they represent critical "bookends" in the field of Canadian urban geography during the formative period in which immigration transformed physical and social landscapes of Canada's cities. As this review demonstrates, while Donald Kerr's and Jacob Spelt's "The Changing Face of Toronto: A Study in Urban Geography" explores the geography of Toronto as both a "natural" and a human construct, articles by Carlos Teixeira and Gilles Lavigne on how Portuguese immigration has shaped residential neighbourhoods in Montreal and Toronto focus on the human element in the shaping of space.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper selects two musical styles and explores their cultural geography, while considering the extent to which they demonstrate diffusion, place creation/environment and resistance/expression. The styles discussed are American Rhythm-Blues of the 1950s (i.e. McKinley Morganfield "Muddy Waters" and Chester Burnett "The Wolf") and British Rocking-Blues of the 1960/70s (i.e. Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones). The geography of music is a fairly new phase of geography and music study, it has only been fully developed in the last 30 to 40 years. Much study has been done into cultural geography's effect of global music and this paper concentrates on American music, which relies heavily on place creation, diffusion, environment and expression to create memorable music that remains viable and fresh for decades.
From the Paper
"Developed from jazz, blues, and countless other forces, the first rock and roll songs are attributed to bands like Bill Haley and the Comets and Elvis Presley. Historian Barlow continues, "Hence, blues diffusions can be traced to African-American rhythm and blues, soul, and even rap musical styles. Moreover, they can be traced to the flowering of rock and roll, and then rock music, among white youth" (Barlow 61). As rock and roll music grew in popularity, it was simply natural that different cultures would develop their own forms of the music, and this is true with rock, which led to offshoots around the world, including British rockin' blues by bands such as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Rock too is a form of social protest, and so, it defines a time and a place in culture and society, just as the blues defined an earlier era, and then helped create other defining musical styles."
