I have no resources either!; ▶ Reply to This

Tectonics and Urban definately. This is the next best option, I think I may leave it until last though as I have plenty of resources for the other topics. This will give me as long as possible to collect and make bits and pieces. More than hapy to help though. Guess the next break point will be the publiction of A2 books.; ▶ Reply to This

Simple reworking of the spec into a Word file inside a table for adding links, case studies etc

Would be good to have the PDF here prior to viewing; this inspired me to inspect and keep the food videos - and teach retrospectively to yr8.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Jill Atkinson on May 30, 2009 at 2:38pm: I am thinking of using the whole EcoTown issue for this, as there are two proposed that are close to our local area. As the Rushcliffe proposal is on Green Belt land and there is a lot of local opposition, as there is for many of the others, I think it will do. Have not thought this through properly yet but will do so in the next few weeks.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Guy Leaf on August 26, 2009 at 11:16pm: Can anyone help me out on this local resource issue? My query is has anyone laid down what "local" means. The Nelson Thornes book has Belfast as its case study which is hardly local to me in Wiltshire. Is it just a question of looking at conflicts on different scales from international to regional to local irrespective of their location? So is it possible to for instance look at the Gulf War, Kurdish separatism in Iraq/Turkey/Iran/Syria, and a local resource conflict over the oilfields of northern Iraq, or am I back to the Newbury or Westbury bypasses?; ▶ Reply to This
