{"title":"The Fracking Debate: The Risks, Benefits, and Uncertainties of the Shale Revolution","authors":"Avantika Ramekar","doi":"10.1080/00221341.2021.1980085","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00221341.2021.1980085","url":null,"abstract":"Teaching human-environment relations inevitably involves exploring politically charged topics, such as sustainable energy futures. The problem becomes even more challenging in rural community classrooms where most community members are directly or indirectly associated with energy development. Some teachers may feel lost or apprehensive to broach such subjects, but resources exist to facilitate discussion. Daniel Raimi’s (2018) The fracking debate: The risks, benefits, and uncertainties of the Shale Revolution, provides a thorough description of contemporary oil and natural gas recovery through hydraulic fracturing (fracking), the process of pumping water, sand, and chemicals into the ground to break up underlying geology and access deposits of natural gas and oil. The book takes readers through a basic introduction to fracking, followed by the debates associated with the activity. It discusses the impact of fracking on the Unites States’ goal to achieve energy independence, along with the practice’s impact on local communities and multinational markets. Raimi concludes with thoughts on the environmental volatility of shale production, the dynamic politics of fracking, and the mixed blessings that oil and gas industries bring to rural communities. The aim of this book is to provide readers a better understanding of risks, benefits, and uncertainties associated with shale technology. Raimi begins the book by presenting the big picture overview of shale development in the US. He presents a strong argument corroborated with evidence for the precautionary principle, an idea advocating governments, businesses, and individuals take measures to prevent environmental problems before they happen. Raimi recounts his journey through America’s boomtowns, gathering experience and documenting conversations with locals in these largely rural areas. In each boomtown context, he encounters people associated with the oil and gas industry. Having performed geographic research on fracking, I can relate to the range of reactions the author receives upon revealing his research on the oil and natural gas industry. For instance, when I mailed questionnaires to find out lived experiences in oil and gas development communities, some people refused to participate, as they thought I was “rocking the boat” or “stirring the pot.” One responder made known that they were suspicious of my intentions because I was an outsider in their community. Researching communities dependent upon controversial resource extraction is challenging. Daniel does a good job of navigating these thorny situations, recognizing that the debates presented in this book are a shifting target as the public decides which information sources to trust. As an international female of color, I found myself wondering how easy or difficult it would be for me to go at a bar and start a conversation with someone about oil and natural gas. Oil and gas development is fundamentally geographic, involving varying spatial","PeriodicalId":51539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography","volume":"1 1","pages":"173 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90993718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Holland","doi":"10.1080/00221341.2021.1973540","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00221341.2021.1973540","url":null,"abstract":"I’ll admit it: I was procrastinating reading Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn. I wanted to read it and had committed to writing this review, but I could never seem to find the time in my workday to just sit down and read. Finally, I decided to read for half an hour first thing every morning with my coffee, before—gasp!—even checking my email. Not only did that work to combat the procrastination, it ironically led me to discover that my new morning routine was in line with the authors’ tips for how to help students stop procrastinating (the “Pomodoro technique”): developing a habit of separating tasks into manageable chunks and setting aside short bursts of time to complete the chunks with no distractions, followed by rest to let the learning sink in. And thus, coffee in hand, my review began to take shape. In Uncommon Sense Teaching, Barb Oakley and colleagues (2021) use brain science principles to explain why the evidence-based teaching strategies used by the best teachers are so effective. The pedagogical approaches themselves—notably active learning, collaborative learning, peer instruction, and instructor presence—may not be new to readers who are well versed in the scholarship of teaching and learning, but what makes this book invaluable is the way the authors describe the science of how our brains work when learning. The authors then relate the science to practical strategies that instructors at any level can use to harness that brain function in their teaching to help students master a subject. In this way, the book complements ideas from the excellent 2010 text How Learning Works by Susan Ambrose and others. Engaging, too, is the authors’ combination of neuroscience research with personal anecdotes from years of teaching experience. Two of the book’s authors, Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski, are the creators of the massive open online course “Learning How to Learn,” which is rated 4.8 stars out of 5 according to almost 75,000 reviews. The third, Beth Rogowski, is both an education professor and a neuroscience researcher. Together, the authors put their substantial combined expertise to use in Uncommon Sense Teaching with treatment of timely topics that include student motivation, knowledge retention, and inclusive teaching. Perhaps most instructional for these times is the chapter on online teaching, which offers concrete tips for delivering an effective and engaging online course using both synchronous and asynchronous learning, something that all of us could have desperately used during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and will likely continue to need in the future. The target audience for this book leans more toward K–12 education than higher education, but college and university instructors can still glean useful teaching and course design strategies. Although it does not have a geography education focus, the material in Oakley and colleagues’ book is applicable to any ","PeriodicalId":51539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography","volume":"25 1","pages":"86 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81772452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cittaslow Network—which comprises initiatives such as the prioritization of infrastructural projects, precise planning of sustainable cities , facilities to support people with disabilities, and the provision of renewable and eco-energy for vehicles—has the potential to facilitate better planning of the slow cities in Turkey. To control unplanned urban expansion and overcome infrastructural deficits, participation of the citizens in the Cittaslow Network is important in the rapidly expanding Turkish cities. Although Turkey currently has 18 slow cities, many other Turkish cities are undergoing the application process to qualify under this criterion. The built-up index, which is rarely opted for by researchers in Turkey but frequently used in studies abroad, has been used in this research. The built-up index is a model that extracts urban areas from satellite data. This model determines micro-urban structures and demonstrates the extent of urbanization. The temporal changes observed in 17 Cittaslow Cities in Turkey from 2002 to 2020 were examined in this research. The findings reveal that slow cities such as Yalvac, Akyaka, and Gokceada are expanding rapidly, whereas Cittaslow cities such as Vize, Uzundere, Goynuk, and Egirdir have been experiencing slow growth.","PeriodicalId":51539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90966991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
