Abstract
It identifies the region, it identifies its oil and gas reserves and examines the rationale behind their development. However, it also identifies the profound political and environmental consequences of such development.

Abstract
It finds that the theory does not specifically explain all cases where states emerged, but that it applies to most cases in a general way. Overall, states arise in those regions with circumscribed environments, in which population growth causes social conflict over land and resources.

Abstract
This paper examines the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS. The disease predominates in Africa and South-east Asia. This paper focuses on that phenomenon.

Abstract
This paper begins by examining how the population of the Six Nations Grand River Territory arrived in the reserve. Then it identifies ways in which the landscape reveals this ethnic influence. Finally the importance of geography and the future, including land claims, are assessed.

Abstract

Abstract
This paper focuses on the transition that has occurred within those living in California, where the Californian natives no longer are forced to adapt to the confines of water within the region. However, in promoting their ability to transform the arid Californian landscape, the human residents have also created conditions in which the need to import mass quantities of water has become a liability.

Abstract

Abstract
This paper is written about demographic transition model of population history. This paper shall try to weigh up whether the population ramification is adjudged on the basis of a particular model of tracing and predicting population growth and its history, called the 'Demographic Transition Model' (DTM). Along the way, the applicability of this model's general guidelines as it functioned in Europe in the 1750s, vis-a-vis as it has been functioning in the developing world since the 1950s will be given consideration.

Abstract
This paper responds to a series of questions based on information taken from the book "Geography: Realms, Regions and Concepts" by H.J. de Blij and Peter O Muller.

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper is brief general discussion on the American National Parks.

Abstract
This paper will address four key features. First, that the country of Great Britain is unique as a nation as it is physically isolated from the rest of the world. Second, that this positioning has forced Britain to become entirely dependent on the economic processes of importing and exporting and therefore was an instigating factor in the Industrial Revolution. Third, that Great Britain's physical isolation has resulted in forming political alliances based outside the trade process. And fourth, that expected shortages in natural resources would adversely affect the welfare of Great Britain if the country maintains its current political and trade states.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "Edge of Taos Desert: An Escape to Reality" by Mabel Dodge Luhan and seek to understand why this author is so entranced with this geographic site. By revealing the people that lived there in the time that the book was written, we can see why the author used this book as a sort of return to her self in the scope of the desert. The scope of this paper will be to understand why she chose to see the desert as a home, rather than a barren and lifeless place.

Abstract
This paper will examine misperceptions of the Arctic and Antarctic landscapes as cognitive constructs. These misperceptions will be analysed as constructs of two different cultures: European and Aboriginal. It will be argued that the Arctic and Antarctic landscapes have, over the centuries, functioned as a geographical equivalent of a psychological Rorschach test; vast white landscapes upon which we (or rather, white male explorers) have imposed readings that reveal more about ourselves than about the geographic realities of the spaces. In contrast to this, the views of peoples indigenous to the Arctic may be seen as a more valid perception of this forbidding environment.

Abstract
This paper describes the Hurricane Georges tragedy in Puerto Rico. It explains how disaster management as related to this storm i.e. preparedness, mitigation and recovery. The paper will mainly focus on what was done wrong, what was done right and what could have been done better.

Abstract
This paper will examine the historical geography of the New England village from the late 17th to the early 19th centuries. It will be argued that within this time frame the urban geography of the village underwent a series of complex changes that parallel both the population growth of New England and the declining power of the Puritan community within that same population. As will be seen, there exists a clear correlation between the transformation of these communities from spiritual to secular orientation, and their expansion as commercial and industrial centres.
