Historical Database Map of Washington DC - 4 views

    This is where the age of hyperdata is going. This map allows users to scroll through the city and zoom in on building. Clicking on a building will give detailed data of the builder, size and history. Civil War buffs can look for Mary Surratt's boarding house or the "F" street mess of southern senators. Or the Watergate hotel - the list goes on and on.

    "He's arguing with the men who ran the camp, the one in Cambodia. He was 14 when the Khmer Rouge took over and he went to prison camp. His whole family was killed, more than 60 people. He never tells us what happened to him there, but we hear everything when he's out in the street shouting. I can't get it out of my mind sometimes."

    he Pioneers Violin, 1971, directed by B. Stepantsev, Soyuzmultfilm. A Nazi soldier tries to force a young Soviet boy scout to play a German song on his violin. Instead he defiantly plays the [then] Soviet national anthem, The International, and is shot by the Nazi. Fyodor Khitruk: Patriotic themes existed and were included into the plan of Goskino (the State Film Committee)...We werent pushed to make films based on these themes, but the political repertoire was put together by what they approved or did not approve, as in feature films and literature. The Pioneers Violin probably wasnt promoted by somebody. They didnt write the scripts on Vasiliev Street [Goskino]. As I remember, Boris Stepanstev who made this film, made it honestly thinking it was needed.Category:Film & Animation

World History Connected: EJournal of Learning and Teaching - 6 views

  •  
    Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

    The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/worldhistory/ap-cd-worldhist-0708.pdf David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian. Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject. This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html Google David Christian, Big History for more

    Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/ More links than you probably want here about Big History: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html This month's forum is on Latin America. Other forums range the gamut of world history.

    A beautifully rendered 3D model of Constantinople in the year 1200 AD. It is divided into regions of the city and gives you an excellent idea of what the city looked like at street level.

Boothºs 1889 London Poverty Map - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting site. Someone has scanned in Charles Booth's 1889 map showing London poverty. You can zoom in to street level and see which are vicious, poor areas and which are stable, middle-class ones. Fascinating.
