Day vs. Night population maps

Day vs. Night population maps | Geography Education | Scoop.it

A great image for showing the pulsating rythmns of a dynamic urban system.  We treat population density as a static metric, but how many people are in a given place would truly be difficult to fully quantify.  What logisitic difficulties would this shift present for cities?

I would be interested to find out how these were created and how the data was recorded.

The Ethiopian town that's home to the world's greatest runners

The Ethiopian town that's home to the world's greatest runners | Geography Education | Scoop.it
What do Kenenisa Bekele, Tirunesh Dibaba, Derartu Tulu and Fatuma Roba have in common, apart from being Olympic gold medallists?

 

What is it about this place that has produced so many world- class runners?   This is a great profile of the "Town of Runners."

And I was feeling proud of my 7.8 mile run today.

It's amazing to me that some of the world's fastest runners come from such a poor place and a very misunderstood place. Good for them.
