Take a look at this background info. You’ll need it to answer the next discussion question (posted under assignments). It’s a great, interactive and generally non-boring website! You can watch a brief film, explore the map, read background info, etc. My discussion question asks that you relate this background information to any portion of the assigned reading (like I said – more details under ‘course assignments’).
Take a look!
