Concepts and themes pertinent to both physical and human geography are played out in this vast laboratory zone where cultures meet and overlap. Using examples from around the world, this slide set illustrates the complex nature of volcanoes. The four parts examine major types of volcanoes and eruptions, volcanic material, landforms and the human response to volcanoes and volcanic activity. Also included is a glossary of terms and a short bibliography. Industrialization is depicted and analyzed at selected sites in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
Examples range from high-technology industrial parks to traditional shop houses.
In addition, numerous components of the cultural landscape, impacted by new economic activity, are illustrated and examined.
