40 more maps that explain the world Maps seemed to be everywhere in 2013, a trend I like to think we encouraged along with August's 40 maps that explain the world. Maps can be a remarkably powerful tool for understanding the world and how it works, but they show only what you ask them to. You might consider this, then, a collection of maps meant to inspire your inner map nerd. I've searched far and wide for maps that can reveal and surprise and inform in ways that the daily headlines might not, with a careful eye for sourcing and detail. I've included a link for more information on just about every one. Enjoy.

EarthPulse, Maps, Global Trends, Human Impact Globalization, the international exchange of goods, services, cultures, ideas, has brought increased wealth for many and transformed forever the way humans interact. But while its roots may be in commerce, globalization's effects can be very personal. Advances in communication and transportation have created a rich, unprecedented mixing of cultures throughout the world. But there is a drawback. As international travel, economic migration, and the global spread of music, films, and literature bring more people than ever into intimate contact, human diversity is vanishing. A shared language is perhaps the most profound expression of group identity and a critical tool for passing cultural knowledge from one generation to the next.

A Collection Of “Best” Lists Related To International Terrorism In light of the terrorist attacks in Paris last night, I thought that teachers would find it useful for me to bring links to all my international terrorist-related “Best” lists together in one post: The Best Resources For Teaching & Learning About The Paris Attacks The Best Ways To Teach About The Paris Massacre (about the Charlie Hebdo massacre earlier this year)

Intéressante approche et en même temps tout ce travail est TRES TRES FAUX ! L'histoire officielle se trouve elle même très partiellement confirmée dans cette étude prétendument génétique. Par exemple, les Bulgares ont plus de lien avec les orcades qu'avec les turcs, avec au moins 10% de population turque dans le pays, et après 4 siècles d'occupation ottomane, sans compter les multiples interactions durant l'empire byzantin, etc ... Alors, si on considère en plus que l'histoire est pour le moins détournée ... je vous laisse juge de la valeur résiduelle de cette étude finalement très curieuse. by dugue Oct 18
