Vol. 17 (2009): North Carolina Geographer
This 17th volume of The North Carolina Geographer is a double issue spanning 2009 and 2010. It includes articles on the diverse geography of the state from the mountains to the coastal plain. A Carolina Landscapes article reviews maps of Native American settlements and a sample lesson plan engages students by examining the influence of climate change on coastal environments. A report of the 2010 annual meeting of The North Carolina Geographical Society is also included, along with a citation of the North Carolina Geographer of the Year awarded to Ron Mitchelson of East Carolina University. Finally, we memorialize the significant contribution to Geography of Professor Frank Ainsley, who passed away after a short illness during the summer of 2010.
