banks of the longest river in the world, the Nile. During the third millennium BCE these people created a distinctive and powerful state. Many of the people living here had migrated to Egypt, some from the eastern and western deserts in Sinai and Libya. Ancient Egypt was an area where different cultures blended cultural practices and technologies. Very similar to the people of Egypt were the people of East Asia. Just like all the other people of this time, East Asians settled in river basins.…

Much as a river shapes its banks on its course, in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck grows and matures as a person as he and an escaped slave, Jim, travel down the Mississippi River. As they raft along the river, the people Huck meets and experiences he gains, as well as the extreme social views he is exposed to, transform him from a naive young boy to someone who has an understanding of his own morality and of the way society functions. In between the banks of the mighty…

“slavery” they aren’t unwittingly trapped in. To “ban” can mean to “prohibit by official decree” and also “condemnation by church officials.” This dual meaning symbolizes that the monarchy is manacling people with their bans on the streets and the river in the first two lines and that the people are manacled by the church’s condemnation of the chimney-sweep children in the following lines. “Forged” also has a great deal of meaning. A forge is used to make metal malleable so it is easier to…

coyote form and killed Wishpoosh. Coyote and his friend, the meerkat, cut Wishpoosh into small pieces and threw the pieces, creating the tribes of men (Coyote and Wishpoosh). Another myth involving a coyote has to do with the creation of the Columbia River. Coyote desired clouds to give him shade and rain to cool him off. He also wanted a creek. However, the creek that was created was not deep enough for coyotes liking. He demanded that it was deeper and with that, it swept Coyote off his feet…

The Yellow River estuary has rich biological resources. It represents the spawning area for many fish species of the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, and an important fishing ground in the northern China Sea (Shan et al., 2013). Laizhou Bay is an estuary of the Yellow River, and has high primary productivity. It represents an essential nursing and feeding area for many species (2et al., 2013). There is low biomass in the river, but the presence of few and unique indigenous fish make the conservation of…

Colonization in the early American south was developed through a deeply rooted and complex system of cultural relations. Although often thought of as simple, the colonization of what would eventually become the United States south, was an elaborate and intricate process like that of any other region. The true impact of many of the cultures involved have gone unrecognized. However, it was these unrecognized groups whose societies, choices, and interactions laid the ground work for economic and…

Chad Pregracke was born in East Moline, Illinois on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. Chad spent a lot of time on the river; he was a commercial shell diver, fisherman and barge hand,…

While these arguments do have a lot merit, most of the water sharing issues that are stemming with what Pakistan calls violation and India calls progress, are due to an ineffective and rather obsolete IWT which doesn’t clarify ownership and can’t solve geographical issues ( Michel and Panday 2003) so to say that IWT is keeping peace is controversial at best. The fact that the fairness of the treaty is today being questioned from both sides suggests that the distinction and separation between the…

As we know, the voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 implied a big change in the American Continent. But, during thousands of years preceding European contact, the Native American people developed inventive and creative cultures in the North and the South. These Native American persons are commonly called “American Indians” due to the fact that the word "Indian" was an invention of Christopher Columbus, who erroneously thought that he had arrived in the East Indies. In this essay, we are going…
