Extractions: This course will address the issues outlined above from a geographical perspective and in terms of the failure to develop the country's resources and the consequences. Particular (but not exclusive) attention will be paid to the period between 1962 and 1988 in the context of anti-development. The course will be at an intellectual level appropriate to final year undergraduate study while recognising that it will necessarily also be an introduction to unfamiliar territory for many students. The course begins with a reading week commencing January 6th 2003 and a class meeting at 2pm in Geography Room 243 that day. Lectures will begin on Monday January 13th and will extend over 2 weeks. They will be held at 9am in Geography Room 243. The final test (duration 2 hours) will be held on Monday January 27th at 11.30am in Geography Room 243 and will count for 50% of assessment. The hand in date for the 2000 word project (see below) will be Monday February 10th.

Many place names were either given new spellings to correct British mistransliterations or replaced by their pre-colonial era names. For example Pagan was replaced by Bagan, Rangoon by Yangon, and Maymyo by Pyin Oo Lwin. However, these new names are not widely used outside (or, for some, inside) the country, and most recent literature has retained the old names and spellings. Hence, to avoid confusion, the old names and spellings will also be retained in this text (including the terms "Burma," "Burman," and "Burmese"). It should be noted that specialists on Burma make an important distinction between "Burman" and "Burmese." The term

Extractions: Many centuries ago by a sparkling lake, in a valley surrounded by majestic mountains, the temple of Lao-Tsun was guarded by 100 yellow-eyed white cats with long silken hair. The temple housed a beautiful golden goddess with sapphire blue eyes who watched over the transmutation of souls. The head monk, Mun-ha, whose beard had been braided with gold by the enlighten one, often knelt in meditation before the golden goddess,Tsun-Kyan-Kse. At his side was his faithful and beloved companion, a beautiful temple cat named Sinh. Sinh would always shared in his master's meditation. As the monk meditated, Sinh would gaze steadily at the golden goddess beautiful sapphire blue eyes. A veil of mystery surrounding this initial background of the Birmans. According to the explorer, Auguste Pavie who made a study of this subject stated the pointed cats of all colors, some mitted and some not, can be seen in todays temples.
