In addition to the Nation, the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, PEP produces estimates for census regions and divisions, counties and equivalents, incorporated places, minor civil divisions, consolidated cities, and metropolitan areas. Census Regions and Divisions Counties (and equivalents) Minor Civil Divisions Legally defined county subdivisions are referred to as minor civil divisions (MCDs.) MCDs are the primary divisions of a county. They comprise both governmentally functioning entities that is, those with elected officials who provide services and raise revenues and nonfunctioning entities that exist primarily for administrative purposes, such as election districts. Twenty-eight states and Puerto Rico have MCDs. However, the MCDs function as general purpose governmental units in all or part of only twenty states. Within these twenty states, PEP produces estimates for all governmentally functioning MCDs and for nonfunctioning MCDs in counties that contain at least one functioning MCD. The legal powers and functions of MCDs vary from state to state. Most of the MCDs in twelve states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin) serve as general-purpose local governments. In the remaining eight states for which PEP produces MCD level estimates (Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) the MCDs, for the most part, perform less of a governmental role and are less well known locally, even though they are active governmental units.

An Outline of American Geography MAP CHAPTER 16 THE NORTHLANDS T he United States is in many ways a creation of a frontier experience. The push westward remains part of recent American history, and many still live who remember the days of early settlement, of the often heroic struggle with the land. The American frontier is largely gone today. Although humans presumably have the technology to live anywhere on the earth's surface, those areas of the United States that can be occupied with moderate physical and economic effort are already staked out. Extending as far south as the northern Great Lakes states and including the interior to the Canadian border, as well as parts of Alaska, the Northlands ( Map 15 : 19K) remains sparsely settled. The inhospitable nature of the physical environment plus the consequent thinness of settlement give the Northlands its special character. A HARSH ENVIRONMENT Not only are winter temperatures low across most of the region, but winters are long. The average time between the last frost in the spring and the first in the fall is roughly 135 days at the southern margins of the area but little more than 14 days along parts of the Arctic Ocean. Because virtually all major food crops need a growing season of longer than 90 days, they can be grown in only a few small areas along the southern margins. Summers, generally short and cool, can have surprisingly warm days. Maritime moderation is significant only along the peripheries, mainly in the east and west.

A liberal arts degree equips students with a broad-based education that can give them access to a number of fields. Here are some of the options available to Geography majors. Regional Geography T his involves becoming an expert on specific regions of the world. By gaining an understanding of the way of life in certain countries they can pursue careers in the following areas: Area Specialists - are responsible for having in depth knowledge of specific countries or areas of the world. They collect information through government agency reports, news reports and aerial photos. The information is then reported to diplomats and other government officials to be used in policy-making decisions and speeches. International Business Representative- use their knowledge of other countries' agriculture and industry to influence business decisions and make recommendations about doing business with other cultures.

Contacting Craig Urban Geography Reading 01 I would copy this text in to your favorite word processing program and manipulate as you see fit..... The Early Development and History of Cities Villages were the earliest communal living developments by humans. What made villages possible was the domestication of animals and learning to plant crops. Most geographers agree that this occurred about 10,000 years ago. Over time, changes in human settlement patterns allowed early man to form larger and larger villages. These changes include the creation of religion and the need for worship, a predicatable food surplus, trade over long distances, and a division of labor. Somewhere around 5,000 to 3,000 years ago, man started the move away from being a self-sufficient villager to a city dwelling specialist, this move has been continuing every since. Many social and economic changes had to happen for cities to get their start. These changes included religion, a need for a trade center, the need to band together for protection, and sometimes, the geographic location of these early cities was just excellent for human habitation. The first urban centers evolved in lower Mesopotamia and then in the Nile valley of Egypt. By about 2500 B.C., cities flourished in the Indus Valley on the Indian subcontinent. They developed along the Huang River in China by 1500 B.C. Cities did not arise in the Americas until about 500B.C.: the first were in what is now Mexico.

FEATURED FACULTY PARTICIPANT - Dr. William Ackerman CREDITS AND CONTACT CJRC NEWSLETTER back to top CJRC Home FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK Let me begin by congratulating all faculty and graduate associates of the Center for a successful 1999-2000 academic year. Your participation in activities, and sharing of your research and ideas certainly made my first year as Director a fun and productive one. I also wish to welcome the new associates of the Center. We are very pleased that this year, William Ackerman (Geography, Lima Campus), Douglas Berman (Law), Sharon Davies (Law), Gwendolyn Cartledge (Education), Lisa Keister (Sociology), Deborah Merritt (Law and the Glenn Institute), Alan Michaels (Law), James Moody (Sociology), Jack Nasar (Architecture), and Victor Streib (Visiting Professor of Law) join us as CJRC Faculty Associates. Your participation will help to make our intellectual climate even more vibrant. Hopefully, this brief synopsis of some of our activities indicates that things are taking shape within the Center. However, our agenda is by no means fully set. We welcome any ideas that will contribute to our general goals of promoting research on crime and justice issues, fostering intellectual exchange about crime and justice, and interfacing with criminal justice policy-making organizations on issues that can be informed by research. I certainly also appreciate your volunteering (or agreeing) to present in our seminar series on your own work.
