.... Coucy-le-Château, Hattonchatel). The earliest castles still extant in any manner are Doué-la-Fontaine and Langeais, built by Foulques Nerra by 994.

Castles could consist of a tower set atop a hill or mote (15 to 30 feet high) surrounded by a wall at the edge of the top of t .....

Although the conforming nature of the institution contributes to Helga’s desire to leave, she is also stirred with “an overpowering desire for action of some sort� (4).

This exemplifies the “fight or flight� animal instinct that is said to control behavior in situations that become overwhelming. Instead of fighting, Helga time and time again chooses to leave what becomes unbearable to her. Once .....

The Manhattan Project was the code name for the US effort during World War II to produce the atomic bomb. It was appropriately named for the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, because much of the early research was done in New York City (Badash 238).

He did well enough to get by in some of his courses but had no time for subjects that did not interest him. Years later, his former school mates would remember how Adolf would taunt his teachers and draw sketches of them in his school notebooks. Forty years later, in the sessions at his he .....
