.... of China. It provided protection for the people. It allowed farmers to live along the border and away from the nomads. But it took over 30,000 people to build it. Another achievement was the currency. Currency is cash and is the most common items used to exchanged for goods. The currency got of things exchanged for itself. Two nicknames for it are paper money and flying money. One last achievement is trade. Trade is one of the most important systems to the Chinese. They traded silk and other things and eventually got a lot of things back. The Chinese got a lot of things back from trade. These are some examples of the trade sy .....

.... means for the first time. Upon hearing this news, a nuclear physicist, Leo Szilard, was convinced that a chain reaction of this process could be used as a weapon to release an awesome burst of power. Szilard knew that this knowledge was now in the wrong hands of the enemy Germans. On a July day in 1939 Szilard and his associate, Edward Teller, drove to the Long Island home of Albert Einstein to alert him of their findings. Einstein used his political influence by immediately writing a letter to President Roosevelt explaining the consequences of the Germans creating an . His letter read, "I believe, therefore, that is my duty to bring to yo .....

.... human achievement, merchants were now self-confidant and a new class of commercial entrepreneurs erupted. Later in the 17th century as the Scientific Revolution popularized the idea that the world is a knowable place, people were confidant that they could prosper on their own, and therefore Britain was full of entrepreneurs out to make money. Before the Industrial Revolution, Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations in 1776, which encouraged individual accomplishment as well. The entrepreneurs took advantage of the trade routes' expanding. Because of the Agricultural Revolution, the population in Britain was growing and getting wealthier, an .....

.... reached a large quantity of people because of the traveling orators that preached the evangelical word. Although Enlightenment learning was limited to the wealthy, educated colonists, the movement’s influence was still stronger because the well-to-do ruled the land. Enlightenment philosophers began questioning corrupt governments and the combination of church and state. John Locke claimed that because the people created a government, then civilians could change the run of the government. This belief, perhaps, was the most influential to colonial society. Educated and powerful political leaders began questioning their government un .....

.... with the defeat of the Confederate leader General Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, marked the turning point of the war. The first serious attempt to take control of Vicksburg was an expedition commanded by General W. T. Sherman who went down to Mississippi and attacked Confederacy positions immediately north of town, while another army under General Ulysess S. Grant marched overland from the northern part of Mississippi. General Sherman's army failed when his attack on Chickasaw Bluffs was easily defeated , and General Grant was forced to retreat when his supply lines were cut by the confederate calvary. There were also naval expedition .....

.... revealed that he could adapt himself readily to different circumstances. Even when he went to Harvard, the experience was only relatively impressive (White House Webpage). While at Harvard, Franklin fell in love with Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, his fifth cousin once removed (White House Webpage). Eleanor and Franklin move easily among the upper classes in New York and Campobello. Eleanor, however, was often unhappy, because during much of her married life, she had to live near Franklin’s widowed and domineering mother. During World War I, she was staggered to discover that Franklin was having an affair with her social secretary, a p .....

.... of work, style, and world views are vastly different. Kubrick, whose body of work centers around the dehumanization of man, is separated from Lynch whose body of work centers around a character's discovery of self in an amoral world. Thus, it is often found that Kubrick focuses on exterior themes such as man as a symbolic figure, while Lynch focuses on intensely private themes such as a character's discovery of self. Using their films as evidence, let us take a closer look at how these two great directors use their unique sense of style, characters, and auteurship to espouse their world view. One of the greatest contrast .....

.... tasks in the same amount of time. The three commanders, A.P. Hill, James Longstreet, and Richard Ewell, were, in theory, to be supported by the strategic reconnaissance of Jeb Stuart's cavalry, a role in which he failed dismally in the days and weeks leading up to Gettysburg. Lee decided to take the offensive by invading Pennsylvania via Maryland in an attempt to end the war quickly by threatening the Northern capitol and waging "total war" on the Northern citizens. Unfortunately for Lee, Stuart's joyriding, Stuart delighted in riding complete circles around the Northern armies and hence all of the public recognition and attention, left him .....

.... mathematics, he introduced Leibniz's differential calculus and Newton's method of fluxions into mathematical analysis; refined the notion of a function [f(x)]; made common many mathematical notations, including e, i, the pi symbol, and the sigma symbol; and laid the foundation for the theory of special functions, introducing the beta and gamma transcendental functions. He also worked on the origins of the calculus of variations. But his work did not only reside in math. He was also a pioneer in the field of topology and made number theory into a science, stating the prime number theorem and the law of biquadratic reciprocity. In physics .....

.... Alfred Marshall toward the end of the 19th century. Marshall theorized that the strength of a union depended upon four factors. First, demand for the product should be inelastic, so that there is little, if any, decline in sales in response to price increases. Second, labor costs should be a small portion of the total costs of production, so that a rather large increase in wages would generate only a small increase in the price of the product. Third, the supply of factors that can be used as substitutes for union labor, such as nonunion labor or labor-saving machinery, should be inelastic, so that their price rises substantially as mo .....
