It is well-known for its distinctive black tea that is grown on plantations doting the surrounding slope. The town’s backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world’s highest peaks. The region’s…

With so many hands helping out it wasn't long before Mahonoy and Ahmeya had a new roof over their heads. The Lenape were welcomed whole heartedly by their Seneca Indian friends, though the Lenape were considered a lower status than they, in the Iroquois Nation. The…

The Industries Experiment on the Planet I spent time in several locations: a natural forest, a clear cut, and a plantation. Within these spaces, the five bodily senses; sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, helped to identify how each location felt overall.

Furthermore, ideas will be applied to the three locations and a lengthy analysis of the course content will be applied to everyday…
