Adrian Bahan (MNPS)'s curator insight, May 11, 1:01 PM

I tried to pinpoint intermodal connections at ports and noted the proximity of ports to other waterside uses like beaches and private craft marinas. Ports are facinating places. Think about how containerization has impacted the built landscapes shown in these maps.

Good way to teach geography.

I think this is perfect for my geographystudents this week. Worth to use in a study of global tradestructures.

Labor Day 2012

If you are a fan of the 40 hour work week, 8 hour work day, health benefits, child labor laws and this lovely thing called "the weekend," you have the labor movement to thank.  The Department of Labor has put together a page entitled 'The History of Labor Day.'  This helps us understand that the benefits that we enjoy today are the legacy of generations of workers who courageously fought for for workers rights.

Climate Change Video Guide

Climate Change Video Guide | Educated | Scoop.it
An in-depth, multimedia look at climate change, its global impact, and efforts to combat it.

 

This guide on climate change from the Council on Foreign Relations (independent think tank) covers many of the geopolitical, economic and environmental issues that confront the Earth as global temperatures rise.  Rather than produce a full length feature film, they have organized the this as an interactive video, allowing the user to get short (a couple of minutes) answer to specific questions about the science, foreign policy or economic ramifications of adapting to climate change.
