CNX 181 - Mtns, Natl Resources & Water

Description
While mountains hold much of the world’s most valuable natural resources (e.g., metals, coal, water), they are also home to most of the world’s poorest people. In this course, we will explore the types of natural resources that are found in mountain ranges and why local people do not profit from this wealth generated by them. We will also explore how this wealth distribution influences the cultural development and perception of people living in mountainous areas.
