I will add to them again before the real exams I felt the human half of Contemporary Urban Environments was lacking a bit, so I've added to it using different textbooks. The Changing Places section has also been developed, and the case study covers the data sources we were meant to learn about. Coastal Systems notes and case studies are very much the same, so don't feel the need to print it off again for the sake of it

Reducing energy consumption is imperative in the work to mitigate climate change; however, it has economic benefits as well: less money need be spent by the government in outsourcing energy supply to meet exceeding demand. Overconsumption and wastage of energy is predominantly a high income country (HIC) problem, but the technology developed to save wasted energy can be used throughout the globe to achieve the goal of sustainable development. In the UK, the largest consumer of energy is the transport industry. Perhaps the biggest source of wasted energy is found in the braking systems of vehicles. Typically, braking puts pressure on the wheels, and kinetic energy is wasted as heat formed by friction; regenerative braking changes this. A pilot study in Pennsylvania managed to recover up to 20% of the energy used in braking trains at a station. The saved electricity was used to start the next train in the station in its departure. A simple way to reduce energy consumption in the public

Evan's lecture at the Royal Geographic Society was an outlook on how half-truths and- to put it frankly- bullshit influence politics. This was a particularly topical analysis, which heavily focussed on rise of populism in 2016. The types of bullshit There are 4 types of bullshit that commonly occur in the media and politics: Bullshitting a question This is where a politician will use synonyms to reword the source of the question, instead of directly answering it. Rewording a truth A proven truth is rephrased to appear to mean something else Accrediting an unproven idea A hypothesis is treated as truth- a good example is the Chilcot Report about the Iraq invasion. It was discovered that the UK intelligence services had no proof that Saddam Hussein had the weapons of mass destruction, it was hypothetical In short, Bullshit can be defined as: "deceptive misrepresentation, short of lying, especially by pretentious word or deed, of somebody's own thoughts

A great source of lectures is the LSE website, where you can download the podcasts for free. One such talk was by Danny Dorling on the causes of different types of inequality. The key points were as follows: How to improve it Improved equality increases life expectancy fair pay allows the purchase of healthier food improved quality of life reduces the rate of suicide and stress related diseases Losing a war has the potential to restore equality When Japan lost the war against the USA, America redistributed the aristocracy land to the people. Today, the life expectancy is the highest in the world, and steadily rising In equal countries, there is a more representative democracy In the USA, Trump's wall was only accepted because the media only provided 'dumbed down' politics The UK is closing the gap fastest in Europe The 1% are taking less and less However, Gordon Brown put up wealth tax in 2010 which resulted in the richest of
