Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

What is unspoiled wilderness to one is untapped resources to another and fertile soil to another.

What is poverty and suffering to one person is normal life to another.

Relative

Primitive/modern

Developed/undeveloped

Unruly/orderly
