Mr Mullins ([email protected]) Mrs Dawson ([email protected]) Mrs Tahir ([email protected]) Mr Tsintas ([email protected]) Mr Reed ([email protected]) Mrs S Warhurst ([email protected]) Week 1: Title: One planet, many people: how are populations changing? The number of people living in a particular place is known as the population. For much of the world’s history the world’s population was very gradual, but in 1800 it reached 1 billion and since then growth has become very rapid. This has been called a population explosion. As the world has developed, people live longer and more babies are born. This rapid increase in population places a great strain on the planet and its natural resources. Why measure population growth? In order to develop and improve the quality of life of the people in a country its government needs to understand the size and composition of the population and the rate at which it is changing. As a result, every ten years many countries conduct a census for its population. Table A Table B Current world population: Year World population in billions 7,588,152,731 Today This Year 1800 1 Births 244,863 134,518,965 1930 2 1960 3 Deaths 101,420 55,716,720 1974 4 Population 143,443 78,802,245 1987 5 growth 1999 6 2011 7 Activities: 1) What is population? 2) Using Table A what was the world’s estimated population? 3) Why is the change in population since 1800 described as a population explosion? 4) Draw a line graph to show population growth since 1800 using the data in table B. 5) In each case calculate how long it took for the population to grown by 1 billion. 6) What is a census? 7) Explain why it is important for governments to conduct a census. 8) Read the article, describe the forecasted distribution of population growth around the world. Week 2: Title: How can we describe the structure of a population? Pyramid A Population and Development A demographer is someone who studies population data collected from the census at local, national and global levels. Demographers study the birth rate, the number of births per 1,000 of the country’s population, each year; and the death rate, the number of deaths per 1,000 of the country’s population, per year. The difference between the birth rate and the death rate is the natural increase or decrease in a country’s population. After studying industrialised societies demographers discovered that a country’s population growth rate passes through 5 different stages as it develops economically from this they create the Demographic Transition Model (DTM). This is a generalized picture of population change. The Demographic Transition Model Pyramid B Using population pyramids Demographers use graphs called population pyramids to analyse the structure of populations. A population pyramid is a graph that shows the age and gender distribution of a population. The shape of the pyramid depends on both the number of people in each age group and the proportion of males and females. These pyramids are useful for governments to better understand their populations. They can use them to make predictions about the type of services that the population will need in the future, for example the number of schools, hospitals and homes. Activities 1) Write a definition of the following terms: birth rate; death rate; natural increase or decrease; demographer. 2) What is the Demographic Transition Model? 3) Why did demographers create the model? 4) Using the DTM, compared with developing countries why do developed countries usually have: a lower birth rate, a lower death rate, a smaller natural increase? 5) What is a population pyramid? 6) What data does it show? 7) Pyramids A and B show the populations for two different countries. Which country pyramid shows a high birth rate? 8) Which country will need more retirement homes and medical services? What is your evidence? Week 3: Title: Where is Chongqing and why is it growing so rapidly? About Chongqing Chongqing is a little bit bigger than Scotland. Most of it is rural but it has a number of towns and cities. At its heart is Chongqing City, which sits at the confluence of two rivers: the Yangtze and the Jialing. Chongqing city is an inland port. Big ships can travel up the Yangtze, all the way from Shanghai (2380km away). In and around the city are all kinds of industries making steel, cars, textiles, chemicals, computers and much more. In the rural areas people grow rice and oranges and there are many pig farms. The world’s fastest growing urban area Every day, building work is completed on an area of land the size of 23 football fields, creating flats, offices, shops and factories. Every day, around 1300 people move from rural areas to live in this urban area. That’s almost half a million people per year. Every day, more new businesses start up – and that means work for people. Why no slums? China has planned ahead. It has built lots of flats, and there is plenty of work. New arrivals can soon being to earn money. Of course there are some run down buildings in the city. There are also many people who earn from little money. Focus on industry More and more countries are setting up in Chongqing, including companies from the UK. Why? Land is much cheaper than in the east of China and wages are lower. The government has made it easy for anyone to start a business there. Most things made in Chongqing are intended for sale in China, rather than for export. Where next? The Chongqing urban area keeps on spreading. Built up districts around the edges of the city are joining together. So the city will be at the centre of a megalopolis. Activities: 1) Where in China is the area called Chongqing? 2) The city of Chongqing is at the confluence of two rivers. What is meant by the term “confluence”? What is the name of the two rivers? What is the term given for a smaller river that joins a larger river “t……..” 3) Chongqing was chosen to help develop the west of China. Explain why this location makes it a good choice. 4) China thinks factories are essential for its development. Explain how a factory such as a new car factory can help to make life better for people. 5) The urban area centered on Chongqing city is becoming a megalopolis. What is a megalopolis? 6) Can you give an example of another megalopolis? Week 4: Title: What is life like for people living in Chongqing? The trouble with Hukou Every day, people from rural areas move into urban Chongqing to live. But their status, or hukou, remains rural – and they do not have the same rights as city people. This is left over from the days of Mao.

  • Creative Writing on Place and Nature
    Creative Writing on Place and Nature Jean Sprackland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Published Work (Route 2) Department of English Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 i Abstract This PhD by Publication (Route 2) brings together a series of three books of which I am the sole author, and which share common ground in terms of theme and preoccupation. I seek to demonstrate how these three publications have contributed to the existing body of work in creative writing about place and nature, and specifically how they might be seen to address three key research questions. The submission includes my two most recent poetry collections, Tilt (2007) and Sleeping Keys (2013), both of which are characterised by an awareness of place and an acute attention to the natural world. These two collections explore two very different kinds of location: the poems in Tilt are mostly situated in the wide open spaces of the coast, whereas those in Sleeping Keys are largely located indoors, in the rooms of houses, occupied or abandoned. The third item in the submission is Strands: A Year of Discoveries on the Beach (2012), a book of essays or meditations which collectively describe a year’s walking on the wild estuarial beaches between Formby and Southport, charting the changing character of place through different weathers and seasons. This text might be classified as ‘creative non-fiction’ or ‘narrative non-fiction’ (neither of these terms is entirely uncontroversial or clearly defined). These three books have achieved a large and international readership.

  • King Arthur Comes to Tibet: Frank Ludlow and the English School in Gyantse, 1923-26 1
    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 49 KING ARTHUR COMES TO TIBET: FRANK LUDLOW AND 1 THE ENGLISH SCHOOL IN GYANTSE, 1923-26 MICHAEL RANK With the spread of the British Empire, the British educational system also spread across the world, and this is the story of how, in the early 1920s, it reached as far as Tibet. The English School at Gyantse in southern Tibet had its origins in the aftermath of the 1903-04 Younghusband Expedition which enabled Britain to gain a foothold in the “Roof of the World”. Britain consolidated its advance in the Simla Convention of 1913-14. At about this time it was decided to send four young Tibetans, aged between 11 and 17, to Rugby school in England to learn English and the technical skills necessary to help their country to modernise. At the Simla Convention, the idea of setting up a British-run school in Tibet also came up. Sir Charles Bell, doyen of British policy in Tibet, noted that it was the Tibetan Plenipotentiary who broached the subject: “Something of the kind seems indispensable to enable the Tibetan Government to meet the pressure of Western civilization. And they themselves are keen on it. Without such a general school education Tibetans cannot be trained to develop their country in accordance with their own wishes.” 2 Britain was anxious that it was not viewed as imposing its values on Tibet, and another Government of India official stressed that it should be “made clear that the school is being established by the Tibetans on their own initiative and will be entirely their own affair— 1 I am grateful to Dr Anna Balikci-Denjongpa, editor of the Bulletin of Tibetology , for her support, and to Dr Mark Turin for suggesting that I submit this article to the journal.

Drawing on a uniquely deep and broad data set and using innovative analysis, an assessment State of the world’s birds is designed to make science-based evidence available to national and international policy and by the BirdLife decision-makers. This publication presents a summary of the results of this remarkable collaborative enterprise. The full results Partnership are available in hundreds of detailed case studies, accessible via a dedicated website, organised under 27 themes within a State-Pressure-Response framework. Throughout this publication, links are provided to the much more detailed and comprehensive information that can be found online. Regional and national reports produced by BirdLife Partners Many BirdLife Partners, often supported directly by the State of the world’s birds project, have produced national reports that provide a detailed insight into the status of and pressures faced by birds and biodiversity in their own country. BirdLife has also just completed State of Africa’s birds, the first regional assessment of its kind. To view the full range of national and regional reports visit www.birdlife.org/datazone/sowb/sonb.
