Not currently included in the database are maps from the Confederate Imprints collection and the County Maps collection. For information on these, please contact the Hargrett Library.

Earthquakes 101 Earthquake Thousands of earthquakes happen across the US each year. The good thing is, almost all of them are too small to feel.

Cicero’s time in office would span the crucial years of the end of Roman Republican rule and his own part in these affairs was significant, though in the end not decisive.
Maps of Citations Uncover New Fields of Scholarship - Research By Jennifer Howard Imagine a Google Maps of scholarship, a set of tools sophisticated enough to help researchers locate hot research, spot hidden connections to other fields, and even identify new disciplines as they emerge in the sprawling terrain of scholarly communication. Creating new ways to identify and analyze patterns in millions of journal citations, a team led by two biologists, Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin D. West, and a physicist, Martin Rosvall, has set out to build just such a guidance system. Trapped in disciplinary valleys, surrounded by dense forests of information, researchers have a hard time seeing a lot of scholarship that might be relevant to their work, especially if it's not published in the places they already know to look.
