By the early 1800s, however, scientists such as John Dalton recognized that the atmosphere was in fact composed of several chemically distinct gases, which he was able to separate and determine the relative amounts of within the lower atmosphere. He was easily able to discern the major components of the atmosphere: nitrogen, oxygen, and a small amount of something incombustible, later shown to be argon. The development of the ...

The United States was founded upon diversity. Racism in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops as tobacco. These slaves were not brought by will, but by force, and they faced great oppression while giving the dominant white race the blue collar resource that they so essentially needed in order to stake their claim in the new and soon to flourish United States of America. Plagued by hundreds of years of slavery, discrimination, segregation, hatred, and victimization, ...
In Baroque architecture the plan form alone is of little use as a method of communicating one's real experience of the architectonic space, for it gives no indication of the unique spaces created by the complex composition of geometrical forms, which in plan, overlay and merge in unprecedented size and complexity. Nor does it create a clear boundary between interior and exterior space, since ceilings and roofs, which are as important in defining architectonic space as walls, are not indicated on the plan drawings. Neither can Baroque's' unity of the arts in there technical brill...

It was not until King Henry VIII (1509-1547) that the English interference took its toll on the Irish people. In order to subdue and rule Ireland, Henry sent Protestants to plant' or colonize Ireland and wrest control from the Gaelic and Catholic native population. All action on the part of the Irish to resist the incursions were soundly defeated by English forces. The history of Ireland is a tortured one. ...

DNA: Mysteries and Miracles In the year of 2000, President Bill Clinton stood before the nation and made an announcement that was 47 years in the making; the preliminary draft of the Human Genome Project was complete. Indeed, we have come a long way since the influential discovery made by James Watson and Sir Francis Crick, but even their wildest imaginations could not comprehend the effects of the insight that they shared with the scientific world that day. Curiosity of how "like begets like" can be traced back as far as the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates, among many other philosophers, ...

It could be suggested that for many countries this is the key focus of their youth policies. Nevertheless, the divide between those young people who manage to successfully transition into a meaningful careers pathway and those who do not continues to widen. Establishing stronger welfare safety nets and better youth services that can respond more effectively to the needs of young people as they reach fruition have all been ...
The drive behind this paper has been the recent publication of Fredric Jameson's 1991 Welleck Lectures, The Seeds of Time. 1 As these lectures were delivered a decade after Jameson's initial attempts to map the terrain of post modernity it appeared to me to provide an occasion to reflect upon the current status of Jameson's highly influential and much criticized theory of postmodernism as the cultural logic of late capitalism. ... Jameson's initial intervention in the postmodern debate, in a 1982 essay `The Politics of Theory', 2 was primarily an attempt to map t...
