    Hello, i am currently doing my cwk and just wondered if anybody had any good website's to do with tuberculosis and impacts on the economy/society. thanks lucas
    probably too late; but this one's a perfect fit for TB.

    www.worldmapper.org. look for the map with tubercolosis. Should be under the diseases category.

    It is a BRILLIANT map site; all the countries are shown as proportional to the variable, eg. for infant mortality malawi is very large and Japan is very small. Has masses of categories.

    It's a bit basic but it's no worse than some of the revision guides I've seen. The interactive games are quite good for revising but I wouldn't use it for notes.

    It's probably better than my textbook. What's the best website out there for notes then?

    The British Geological Survey (BGS) & United States Geological Survey (USGS) websites are also very informative.
