Awesome thing that I found online and by which I am confused and convexed

When you have an opportunity, take a look at this: Prof. David Kolb's Sprawling Places web text. It is, in some ways, very similar in form to the web text you'll work on together. Prof. Kolb is a philosopher of no little renown, and the text is an outgrowth of years of scholarly research and writing. And so, his site is far richer than what you might turn out in a semester.

Try to make sense of its unique and challenging organization (click on "Conceptual Diagrams" to see what I mean). If Prof. Kolb had an entry on Metro Atlanta or a particular community in our area, what might he discuss? What are the keywords or key terms that he might use?

Definitely worth thinking about (on your own, of course)....
