The societies that Cook recognizes as civilizations are some of the greatest of their time, and in some cases they are among the greatest civilizations ever on earth.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft first authored these words in November of 1920 in the short story From Beyond, words that would come to resound throughout the rest of his writing career centered around his “weird fiction”. Lovecraft’s influence on the genre of horror would end up being comparable only to Edgar Allan Poe. The Cthulhu Mythos, the most famous of his creations, would contain stories that…

Trump By Trump winning the presidential election does not make nor indicate that the U.S. is a racist country dominated by white people and that are hostile to people of color by the outcome. That issue has been going on long before Trump was elected and will continue after he leaves office. It is brought to our mention more often than before thanks to the media. The media spreads awareness of options and alternatives in products, services, “rights,” institutions, and lifestyles, but they…

Bristol Meyers Squibb is a pharmaceutical company, with a very rich tradition. This analysis will begin with a few historical highlights. Edward Squibb was a doctor in the Navy, who was unimpressed by the medicine that the Navy was using during the Mexican War, he was so dissatisfied that he threw all of the unfit medicine overboard.

There will be no longer conflict about economy, nationality or ideas, but the core of those aspects. This future projection is made based on the transformation process that…

The State Art Museum of Florida, known as The Ringling , was once owned by one of the wealthiest men of the Roaring twenties, John Ringling. This museum is located in Sarasota, Florida and houses some of the most prominent works of art representing the culture and time of Europe back then and still continues to grow to this day.

Phineas Taylor Barnum, or better known as "P. T." Barnum, described as a “jack of all trades” is an understatement. As a self-made businessman (or scammer), showman (or humbug), newspaper editor (or libeler), he lived a life of exhausted passion and success. He tells his own story in his autobiography, The Life of P.T. Barnum of living in 19th century America. P.T. Barnum’s optimistic and exuberant charisma certainly helped him make a profit, yet that alone did not gain him the title of a…

The Gilded Age was a time of American economic prowess thanks in large part to the influence of a few tycoons. However, some believe these tycoons were not the so-called “Titans of Industry,” but rather “Robber Barons.” J.P. Morgan, for example, is erroneously considered to be the latter due to his expansive sphere of influence. Nevertheless, J.P. Morgan is truly a “Titan of Industry.” On April 17, 1837, J.P. Morgan was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to parents Junius Spencer Morgan and…
