- 5284: Effects Of Excessive Pesticide
- ... not properly used. Pest problems are not new; in fact, they have been around as long as agriculture itself. But the pest pressure faced by farmers is now as great as it ever was: the world's fast-growing human population needs to be fed from an always shrinking base of agricultural land, and the substantial damage that can be inflicted by pests (e.g. insects, diseases, weeds, rodents, birds) on ...

- 5285: Wuthering Heights
- Like the world of Transylvania, the Gothic setting in Wuthering Heights suggests a wild and primitive landscape unconstrained by Orthodox norms. The reader is first introduced to Wuthering Heights, the house and its surroundings, as it appears to the middle class, Mr. Lockwood, on a stormy night. Thus, Lockwood serves the same role and Jonathan Harker as he is the bridge between the world of 19th century normal realities and the primeval world of Wuthering Heights. Just as Mr. Harker characterizes his trip to Transylvania as a journey between two atmospheres, entering the "thunderous one", Mr. Lockwood too is introduced to Wuthering Heights on a stormy night, ...

The Indians much like the Europeans had to adapt to a new ways of live, while migrating to the New World the Europeans brought many new things with them that dumbfounded the Indians, some of those thing being a callous behavior towards the land, diseases and religious zeal. Even though both cultures could have probably coexisted quite peacefully the Europeans felt that they were superior to the Indians and set out to dominate and suppress the Indian population. Many Europeans were drawn to the New World because it held promise, something that their homeland lacked. They wanted to create a world that was similar to the one left behind, proof of this is evident in the names that were given to places such as New France, New England, New York, New Sweden, New Spain, Lancaster, ...
- 5287: Extra-sensory Perception
- ... all ages. Parapsychology is one of the most interesting of all sciences. "Most sciences try to explain observable phenomena, parapsychology tries to observe unexplainable phenomena."

Recently a well know man, Uri Geller, had experiments performed on him to help prove to the world that telepathy existed.

"Scientists at the Stanford Research Institution decided to study Geller under controlled conditions" (Psychology-433) If Geller could satisfy the Stanford Research Institution, people of the world would be more inclined to take psychic powers seriously. "During most of the experiments, the psychic was locked in a specially designed room called a Faraday cage" (Psychology-433) This cage had locked him ...
- 5288: Diverse Cultures In The Foundi
- The colonies of the New World were formed by a very diverse group of people. The colonists had personal reasons for settling in America. Socially, politically, and religiously they all differed.

They were the younger brothers who had no inheritance and wanted to create their own estates for themselves and their families. Another group of people came to the world as indentured servants.

- ... more lives would have been lost and more land would be destroyed. They had to endure many hardships and suffer for this country. This book is compiled of many missions that happened throughout the Cold War. It shows what the Naval Program was like during that period and how it changed due to advancing technology. These people operated the spy submarines and risked being killed or captured by the Soviets. One example of this is when Commander Charles R. McVean took his crew and tapped a Soviet telephone line at the bottom of the Sea of Okhotsk. This stopped a potential nuclear war. They also started to make submarines that could dive deeper and explore murky depths. Other submarines are used for surveillance. If we were suspicious about a certain ship, a surveillance submarine would so out and spy on the ship and see what they were up to. These subs played a huge roll in the war. If a ship was transporting weapons or bomb making materials to the enemy, the sub could ratio to US forces and take over the ship. One very brave commander in the war was Norman ...

When the worlds supply of fossil fuels runs out there is no way to replenish this non-renewable resource and the world will be forced to find an alternative energy source. However, there is debate over how long we have before we exhaust our source of fossil fuels. The majority of all scientists in this field agree that there is a 95% possibility that the worlds remaining oil resources will last sixty-three more years at the current rate of consumption (Oil 1). In other words, in the near future the world must begin to rely on a new energy source to ensure our survival. There are a number of renewable energy sources available to replace the problematic fossil fuels. Renewable energy is a term used ...
