Glossary. This glossary contains all the words for which there are links in the text of the various units - plus some other terms that are either used in the text, or simply useful for understanding geography. Absolute Barrier - A feature or condition which completely prevents diffusion. Compare permeable barrier. Activity Segregation - Most offten used to refer to the different and unequal use of space by men and women. Activity segregation occurs because men and women are assigned different roles to play in gendered divisions of labor.
Though it is used in this class to refer to gender based segregation, the concept is flexible enough that it may also refer to similar situations related to different aspects of identity. Agglomeration - The grouping of industrial or productive activities close to one another in order to create cost advantages, as in the creation of an industrial park or area of a city given over to industry. Agriculture - The systematic cultivation of plants and animals. Read 18 Short Stories From Nobel Prize-Winning Writer Alice Munro Free Online. Calling her a “master of the contemporary short story,” the Swedish Academy awarded 82-year-old Alice Munro the Nobel Prize in Literature today. It is well-deserved, and hard-earned (and comes not long after she announced her retirement from fiction). After 14 story collections, Munro has reached at least a couple generations of writers with her psychologically subtle stories about ordinary men and women in Huron County, Ontario, her birthplace and home.
Only the 13th woman writer to win the Nobel, Munro has previously won the Man Booker Prize in 2009, the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction in Canada three times (1968, 1978, and 1986), and two O. Henry Awards (2006 and 2008). Her regional fiction draws as much from her Ontario surroundings as does the work of the very best so-called “regional” writers, and captivating interactions of character and landscape tend drive her work more so than intricate plotting.
