Lot's Ait
Lot's Ait is a ait (river island) in the River Thames, Thames. It is on the Tideway near Brentford, in the London Borough of Hounslow, England. History Lot's Ait, covering , has a very narrow divide from larger, downstream Brentford Ait. It was for centuries used for growing of grass and Salix viminalis, osiers: basket willows, used for basketry, furniture, and cart-making, as well as cattle fodder. It was once known as Barbus barbus, Barbel Island being a fruitful area for fishing. It contained a yard where barges were repaired until 1980, when it was sold. It acquired a wild character with naturalised willows, rotting boats and rusting dock roofs and became a haven for wildlife. In 2002, the island was offered for sale with outline planning permission for a restaurant, a leisure facility and boat storage. It is accessible by footbridge, at low tide in sturdy boots across the thick, shifting mud bed of the channel against the Brentford shore, and by water from the slipway Goat ...

The first recorded use of the word γεωγραφία was as the title of a book by Greek scholar Claudius Ptolemy (100 – 170 AD). This work created the so-called "Ptolemaic tradition" of geography, which included "Ptolemaic cartographic theory." ...
