Colleagues: I am forwarding this on behalf of Ikubolajeh Logan
who is in Africa at the moment. This will be the 5th in a series of
"mini-conferences" to be held at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA,
USA. If interested, and to get an idea of what such a conference is
like, the details of the last mini-conference held in April 1999 are
available at www.uga.edu/geography.
Cheers, Andy Herod
