Animated interactive of the history of the Atlantic slave trade. Source: slavevoyages.org For the full interactive version, use a larger device. Interactive by Andrew Kahn. Usually, when we say “American slavery” or the “American slave trade,” we mean the American colonies or, later, the United States. This interactive, designed and built by Slate’s Andrew Kahn, gives you a sense of the scale of the trans-Atlantic slave trade across time, as well as the flow of transport and eventual destinations. History of American Slavery, Ep 2: The Atlantic slave trade during its heyday and the remarkable life of Olaudah Equiano. There are a few trends worth noting. In the 1700s, however, Spanish transport diminishes and is replaced (and exceeded) by British, French, Dutch, and—by the end of the century—American activity. In the final decades of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Portugal reclaims its status as the leading slavers, sending 1.3 million people to the Western Hemisphere, and mostly to Brazil.

Three Geography Games Based on Google Maps and Google Earth One of the things that I emphasize to students before they embark on any kind of research or problem-solving task is to take a good long look at the information that they already have before them. To that end, I'll often request that they construct a list of what they know about a topic or problem before they begin to search. Playing one of the following three Google Maps-based games is a fun way to reinforce the concept of using prior knowledge and observations. GeoGuessr is an addictive geography game that is based on the Google Maps Street View imagery. Place Spotting is a website of geographic riddles.

Speedfarming 2050, le jeu Cliquez sur l’image pour jouer ! En 2050, 80% de la population mondiale résidera en ville. D’ici là, son nombre aura augmenté de 3 milliards, portant à 9 milliards le nombre total de bouches à nourrir. Il faudra mettre en culture 10 milliards d'hectares de terres pour répondre aux besoins mondiaux en nourriture. Alors qu’aujourd’hui 80% de la surface utilisable est déjà mise à contribution, se pose la question de la viabilité du modèle agricole actuel. Le concept de Vertical Farming n’est pas celui de l’expansion horizontale de l’agriculture, mais celui de son expansion verticale en s’interdisant le recours à la chimie destructrice des sols propre à l’agriculture traditionnelle pour lui substituer celle de l’agriculture hors sol. Speed Farming 2050 est un jeu de gestion d’une ferme verticale pour comprendre et sensibiliser au développement de nouvelles technologies visant à rendre durable l’habitat urbain.

From Ptolemy to GPS, the Brief History of Maps Last spring, a 23-year-old woman was driving her car through the Ontario town of Tobermory. It was unfamiliar territory for her, so she was dutifully following her GPS. Indeed, she was so intent on following the device that she didn’t notice that her car was headed straight for Georgian Bay—so she drove down a boat launch and straight into the frigid water. She thankfully managed to climb out and swim to shore, as her bright red Yaris sank beneath the waves. Accidents like this have become weirdly common. In Manhattan, one man followed his GPS into a park, where his car got stuck on a staircase. You can laugh, but many of us have stopped paying attention to the world around us because we are too intent on following directions. Is it possible that today’s global positioning systems and smartphones are affecting our basic ability to navigate? Most certainly—because it already has. The first great attempt to make mapping realistic came in the second century A.D. with Claudius Ptolemy.
