Afghanistan: Land in Crisis There is certainly no shortage of Web sites about Afghanistan these days. National Geographic has put together this one, which emphasizes that organization's particular expertise in geography, photography, and narrative. The site features photo essays, plus several longer written pieces, notably Sebastian Junger's account of his March visit with the recently assassinated (Sept. 9), now legendary Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud. The site also features an extensive bibliography, useful to students and scholars, though mostly consisting of offline printed resources. Also playing on National Geographic's strengths is an informative and frequently updated map of the country with several views, including the recent military situation, satellite views, ethnic views, and environmental features such as drought and vegetation. You'll find several good maps of Afghanistan for sale here, certainly a great resource for teachers. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/landincrisis/ ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
