The History of Middle-earth

determined by historians and the American populus alike, one cannot claim that either is the lesser of the other, for they had far too great an impact upon the history books to ever be indicted as inferior by any means.

These men both steered America through her most dire straits with the strong hands of a seasoned captain comfortably at the helm of his vessel.…

The Permian Mass Extinction Introduction There are five major extinctions in history: the Late Devonian, the Ordovician-Silurian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurassic, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary. Known as the Big Five, these extinctions exceeded all others in size and destruction, each killing more than 60% of species from that period. Each one acted as a bottleneck, allowing the survival of only a fraction of the organisms that had been thriving before, from which evolution and life…

“Revolutions have been momentous events in modern world history erupting on every inhabited continent except Australia” (Lockard). There were many similarities and differences between the American and French Revolution. The purpose of both of these revolutions was to overthrow their king. The American and French revolution began because of the high taxes enforced upon middle and lower class people. Both also wanted to make their own Republic that spread new values of liberty and social…

Population Growth Population growth rate on Earth is increasing exponentially; in fact, it is believed that the population will increase to more than 9 billion people by the middle of the century (United States Census Bureau, 2016). This is an unimaginable increase from the two and a half billion souls Earth had just in 1950 alone (Population Institute, 2016). The impact has raised serious concerns for the planet and it sustainability. The population increases in both developed countries and…

This geography let the Egyptians live in relative peace around the River Nile. The Nile is over 4000 miles long and its annual floods fertilized the surrounding valley. The Egyptians gradually learned how to manage and store the water in canals and basins for irrigation, and they used measuring devices called a nilometers to measure the water levels. By implementing…
