· LIRN databases consist of Infotrac, Proquest, Credo Reference, eLibrary, Bowker’s, RCLweb, and EBSCO Host.
· Please note that LIRN Search is not a database; it is a type of metasearch. If LIRN Search is unavailable, please directly use one of the databases listed above.

Write a 2-page double-spaced paper in APA format that addresses the following questions:
· Find a recent geographical example of one of the four geographical themes (Spatial Theme, Areal Studies/Regional Theme, Human/Environment or Man/Land Theme, or Environmental Geography) as discussed this week by researching reference materials (readings, websites, videos) or readings assigned for week 1. Describe this case study with all necessary and relevant geographic information.
· Explain which of the four world geography themes you believe is most relevant in today’s society?
· Why does this study you selected justify your selection of that particular geographic theme as being most important in today’s society (this should be the largest section in your paper)?
