The 1400s and 1500s were centuries of enormous change for Venice, and for the rest of the world. The changing geography moved Venice from a central position in European trade to the margins.

"What is a Person from Slough Called?
The direct answer is that people from Slough are called Paludians or Sluffs. While “Sluff” is a more informal and less commonly used term, Paludians is generally considered the official demonym for residents of Slough. This makes a Paludian the correct term to use when referring to someone from this town in Berkshire, England."

All I'm saying it the spellchecker recognises "Sluff" but not "Paludian"

A question for all my fellow geo-nerds--

Can anyone recommend an entry-level geographical text for college-age students that explains general physical geographic concepts? These are students who will be working on world-building projects in a cinematic arts program.

I'm thinking of something just a bit more advanced than this....
