Beyond Hazards and Disasters--Teaching Students Geoscience by Probing the Underlying Influence of Geology on Human Events.
Tewksbury, Barbara J.
Science and Education, v8 n6 p645-63 Nov 1999
Describes a course that explores the ways in which geology can have an underlying influence on human events that is much deeper and more subtle than the distribution of resource wealth and geologic hazards. The course revolves around a series of geological topics that have direct relevance to particular prehistoric, historical, political, or economic issues in Africa. Contains 26 references.
