Summary

Long ago in the land of Egypt there lived as slaves to the Egyptians a
race of white people called the Hebrews. There were so many of them that
the Egyptians began to be afraid that they would over-run the land. So
the cruel king, or the Pharaoh, as he was called, commanded that all the
baby boys of the slave race should be thrown into the River Nile. But
one little child escaped this fate, for his poor slave mother disobeyed
the king and hid her baby in her hut. When he was three months old, his
mother was afraid she could not keep him quiet any longer. So she made a
basket, and plastered it inside with pitch, so that it would be
water-tight and float like a boat. Into this basket-boat she put her
baby.

Urban Geography - Patterns and...

Lyric Vale

Urban geography is a specialized subfield within human geography that focuses on the spatial aspects of cities and urban areas. It seeks to understand the patterns, processes, and interactions that shape the development of cities, as well as the complex dynamics between urban spaces and the broader environment. This discipline is essential for comprehending how cities evolve, function, and adapt to the challenges of urbanization in a rapidly changing world.
The role of cities in geography is multifaceted. Cities are not only the centers of economic, political, and cultural activity but also crucial nodes in the global network. They function as hubs for trade, finance, education, and innovation, while also representing unique environments that reflect the broader social, economic, and environmental conditions of their regions. Urban areas often act as catalysts for growth and change, influencing not just their immediate surroundings but the larger global landscape as well.
At the core of urban geography lies the exploration of key concepts that shape the organization and transformation of cities. These concepts include urbanization, which refers to the increasing concentration of populations in cities, and urban systems, which describe the networks and interconnections between various urban centers. Additionally, urban geography explores issues like land use, transportation, housing, and social dynamics, all of which play a significant role in the functioning of urban environments.

Hearts on Fire - Six Years that...

Michael Barclay

An authoritative, unprecedented account of how in the early 2000s Canadian music finally became cool
		 
Hearts on Fire is about the creative explosion in Canadian music of the early 2000s, which captured the world’s attention in entirely new ways. The Canadian wave didn’t just sweep over one genre or one city, it stretched from coast to coast, affecting large bands and solo performers, rock bands and DJs, and it connected to international scenes by capitalizing on new technology and old-school DIY methods.
		 
Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Feist, Tegan and Sara, Alexisonfire: those were just the tip of the iceberg. This is also the story of hippie chicks, turntablists, poetic punks, absurdist pranksters, queer orchestras, obtuse wordsmiths, electronic psychedelic jazz, power-pop supergroups, sexually bold electro queens, cowboys who used to play speed metal, garage rock evangelists, classically trained solo violinists, and the hip-hop scene that preceded Drake. This is Canada like it had never sounded before. This is the Canada that soundtracked the dawn of a new century.
		 
Featuring more than 100 exclusive interviews and two decades of research, Hearts on Fire is the music book every Canadian music fan will want on their shelf.
