- ... makes one ponder whether nature is really so simple and perfect. The concept of nature in "Jane Eyre" is reminiscent of Hegel's view of the world: the instantiation of God.

While these two examples may seem completely different, they are not as distant as one might think. Nearly all music from the '60s and '70s was ... on drums. The band finished their ten date tour of Scandinavia with some unexpected success. Everywhere they went people were asking how a band like this could go unnoticed. The unique blend of blues-influenced rock, and guitar- riff based songs blew their audience away. On October 15, 1968, Led Zeppelin, made up of Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham, made it's official debut at Surrey University. The group began touring ... London, and the Pop Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London. On October 17, '69, a year and two days from the bands conception, Led Zeppelin played in Carnegie Hall, ending a ban on rock groups at the concert hall, originally caused by the Rolling Stones in 1965.

- ... of using a string created. After I had the measurements I layed them out in a table. The objects that I measured were a small flask, a large flask, a tray from a scale, a roll of tape, a roll of paper towels, and a spraycan. By dividing the circumference of the circle by the diameter I was able to calculate the experimental ratio, and I knew that the accepted ratio was pi. Then I ... moves their finger off of the marked spot on the measuring device.

- ... of "conjecture" with its object as "images" such as reflections, shadows, or any second hand experience. The next stage is that of "belief" which has as its object as a specific thing, i.e. a rock. Because this type of understanding is grounded in the uncertainties of sense perception, "belief" inheres to the visible realm or opinion. To progress from opinion to knowledge, a specific thing must be grasped as theory ... a difference between my soul and my body, and so Plato is right too. But that is the extent to which their philosophies make sense to me.

Just as his prolonged modal solos were emulated by rock guitarists (the Grateful Dead, the Byrds of "Eight Miles High," the unlamented Iron Butterfly, and others), so the astonishing variety Coltrane superimposed on that single F was, according to the composer Steve Reich, a ...

They would stay here for a month to gather information on the tribal life of the Aborigines culture and where all the waterholes were for their journey to Mount Conner, Ayers Rock, and Mount Olga. After learning as much as possible about the land they set out on camels for their trip. They used camels because they are the most reliable way to get across the desert ... they left it the Mountain rose from the ground to mark the spot. Mount Conner is a mesa like formation that rises 800 feet above the surrounding desert. After that the next destination was Ayers Rock which is a large boulder. Then the last destination was Mount Olga. This is a grouping of large round-toped pillars. Most of these pillars were more than five hundred feet high. Some were over 1000 feet high. One morning the scientist awoke and heard noise from behind a small rock formation and when he checked it out he saw a group of young Aborigines boys painting each others bodies with coal, chalk, and red ocher.
