The Iron Age is an important period in Africa that is often met with diffusion theories, on whether or not iron began there.

I attended A Night in Africa Event on April 1st. It was a great opportunity to experience the elements of the various African cultures.

It was very cool to see so many different students representing their country of origin. It was a great opportunity to learn about cultures I knew very little about, and to see UND…

cultural and religious beliefs, architectural patterns and government as characteristics of a developed society. Though, most westerners hardly recognize the value of the African history some of the greatest features of civilization were found in Africa.

The coup d’état has plagued Africa since the wave of independence that swept over the continent in the 1950s and 60s (Drury, Shearer, Cole, Hernann, & Sharif 2010). During this period, newly decolonized countries were handed the keys to their own political, economic, and social autonomy. With this autonomy, however, also came great instability. Numerous African countries such as Zaire were given very little time to develop their own governments, economy, and infrastructure of their own (Pfaff…

INTRODUCTION Dana Point is a city between Los Angeles and San Diego in southern California, but is best known for its harbor. Just north of the harbor lies a rocky beach with large cliffs only tens of meters from the sea, depending on tide level. Cliffs along the coast of southern California are prone to landslides due to their rock composition (mostly sedimentary) and high erosion rates from the sea but become increasingly stressed from overlying man-made structures and landscaping practices.…
