Finally, successful talk at Haverford, ecological disasters The talk I gave at Haverford was successful; I'd been working on it for months. We covered the anthracite region and the Johnstown flood of 1889. We covered the Susquehanna floods, the Knox coalmine disaster which suddenly ended anthracite mining in the region. We covered the Laurel Run fire and the biomes present there. We covered the Year 2000 report ordered by Carter and trashed by Reagan. Azure took some images which oddly enough made me look animated. See below. There is also an image of the graves of anonymous victims of the Johnstown flood, as well, as an image of a National Park Service placard indicating the rush of waters in relation to where we were standing then. http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000577.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000667.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000668.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000669.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000670.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1000671.JPG I've also updated the materials I used for the talk; if you're interested you can download either http://www.alansondheim.org/flood.pdf or http://www.alansondheim.org/flood.rtf I'm glad to be done with the project; gathering the materials was both depressing and necessary. It gave me a chance to better understand the environment I grew up in, the moving of the earth, the strikes, John L. Lewis, and how the Jewish community fit into the area, or didn't. Thanks to Haverford College and Lis Evans, who brought Azure and me to the class. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
