... field of engineering. Within this chapter, the development of iron and steel is the greatest achievement. The development of iron and steel led to other advances. By at least the 4th century the Chinese have developed blast furnaces to obtain cast iron from iron ore. This was 1200 years before the first blast furnace showed up in Europe. The reasons that the author gave to explain the reasons why the Chinese developed this technology are simple. The Chinese had access to large amounts of clay, the key ingredient in making blast furnaces. The Chinese also figured out that by adding a substance they called :Black Earth,” they could lower the melting ...
... caused a great amount of anger and resistance among the settlers. They pulled together and created the Stamp Act Congress, which was one of the first feats of defiance towards England. The colonies had begun to see themselves as a separate entity. The opposition to these acts led to England passing even more laws, but this time they were in order to control, rather than tax, the colonists. The first of these decrees was the Declaratory Act in 1766. This law stated that England had the right to pass any laws they wanted and the colonists would have to obey them. In order to test this mandate, Maritime courts and the Writs of Assistance were used. These instituti ...
... Plus it will allow me to better understand a people whose ways have been removed and in instances put to an end. I will be showing, to the best of my ability, an objective view of this history. But some of the information I used was not as objective, so in using their info I tamed down the language, but some of the information is still seemingly biased, but in my points and opinions I will be more objective. Lacrosse is the oldest team sport played in North America by anyone. But beyond that it was an influential part of a society now mostly defunct. The is rich in many ways, in its traditions, rituals, and ceremonies. The game of lacrosse had many styles of ...
... she did nothing wrong. The professor explains himself. In the musical he sings a song, “Why Can’t The English Learn To Speak?” Mr. Higgins is a professor of phonetics. He has an almost mean attitude towards everyone. He is only interested in his works, he’s pretty self-centered. Colonel Pickering came from England to meet Mr. Higgins and observed whole ordeal with Eliza. Colonel and Higgins begin talking, when Higgins says that he could take Eliza and turn her into a duchess. Eliza takes this seriously and goes to Higgins house the day after. She is there to take lessons for her speech. Colonel Pickering offers to pay full expenses for Higgins ...
... years after he came into power. British authorities arrested him on the request of a Spanish magistrate who wants Pinochet prosecuted for the abuse of Chilean nationals. His arrest was completely unexpected. He had a diplomatic passport on a Chilean arms purchasing mission. Pinochet had no idea that he could be arrested because no previous head of state had ever been tried in this manner. Pinochet is also being held responsible for offences committed by the Chilean police, even if Pinochet himself was not aware of the police brutality. Contreras was the mastermind behind many projects and missions, whose main goal was to hunt down leftist enemies. It ...
... Later in the 17th century and into the early 18th all these previous notions or beliefs would be altered somehow. The Scientific revolution in europe brought people to realize under the guidance of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo that the world was not a still planet orbited by other "perfect" orbs or the sun, but instead it along with the other imperfect earth-like worlds rotated the sun. Also these men showed the ordained church was not flawless, and this opened u a door, a door that allowed the church to be questioned and made people want to draw their own conclusions (this desire would lead to more people becoming educated as well). Also the science of man wa ...
... Romans also used columns in their buildings, but only in a decorative form. Arches were made of stones or bricks and placed on top of each other in a way that it can form an arch and hold weight upon itself. In most Roman architectures, such as the Colosseum, there would be a dome over the top to protect from rain, sun, or any other weather. The dome has a massive weight, so there has to be something to support it up, and this is where the job of the arch takes place. In these Greek and Roman buildings or temples, there would be sculptures of famous gods and warriors. The Greek sculptures were also different than the Romans’. The Roman sculptures had m ...
... boosted. Negative effects were that natural resources led to urban squalor (when the city spread out and it was all a mess there was no organization). Enclosure act, which made urban population rise, Britain had lots of capital from colonies, in which the quality of goods went down but the quantity rose. Another negative cause and effect of the industrial revolution was that there was dynamo, variety went down there was more uniformity (in the products) and workers and consumers were abused. There were two different types of systems that Britain had. One was the Domestic system. In which, products were made in the home, quantity was lower but quality was higher, ...
... Chester A. Arthur issued an executive order creating the ˜3.5 million acre Hopi reservation; one degree latitude by one degree longitude, hence its original square shape. The executive order was intended to alleviate local land conflicts among the tribes and to establish a protected homeland for the Hopi. Instead, it effectively set the stage for a convoluted century-long dispute. From 1882 on, no real problems occurred until one of the world's densest deposits of accessible coal - representing about $10 billion in revenue - was discovered in the 1950s beneath land occupied by both tribes (Wood 1999), an area later established as the "joint-use area" (JUA) in 1 ...
