later referred to as the Green Revolution. The beginnings of the Green Revolution are often attributed to an American scientist, interested in agriculture, Norman Borlaug. After much research, Borlaug was able to developed new disease resistance high-yield varieties of wheat. Along with the new disease resistant wheat and new mechanized agricultural technologies, Mexico was able to produce more wheat than was needed by its own citizen. Because of the success of the Green Revolution and Borlaug’s
Unwinding the Spool of Civilization in Ponting's The Green History of the World and Quinn's Ishmael Clive Ponting's The Green History of the World and Daniel Quinn's Ishmael both critique the dominant paradigms of modern human civilization-especially where its relationship with environment is concerned.

In The Houses of History, many different schools of historical thought are presented and light in shed on what exactly it means to be those different types of historians.

All of these groups can approach the

Although 10% of the sun's original energy is expended with every transaction between organisms, enough energy is conserved to feed the secondary consumers. Enter man. At some point in the history of hominids man leaned back from the natural rolling of the earth and the ecological wheel, and saw the flow of energy as something to be harnessed. He took this energy into his own hands as something that could be manipulated with his discovery of
evolution is extremely important because it is the only way in which one can begin to decipher the reasons why humans evolved from a relatively "dumb" creature, one among many, to the animal which they are today. In A Green History of the World, Clive Ponting analyzes human history from humans' hunter-gatherer roots, their ability to stand upright, their use of speech, and their use of tools. Mary Stiner would emphasize that although these aspects of humanity are important, it is just as fruitful
or controllers of their immediate environments? It is indeed true that human tribes wandered from place to place, following herds of animals or simply searching for the most plentiful copse of berry bushes. As Clive Ponting points out in his Green History of the World, early human tribes practiced what we would consider today to be barbaric forms of population control, killing twins, the very elderly, and any child or person with disabilities of any kind. As "nasty, brutish and short" proponents
A Green History of the World by Clive Pointing A Green History of the World has been very educational reading and has given me a new prospective on the environment. While I do disagree with some of Clive Pointing’s views I have learned a lot from his work. A Green History of the World was a very in-depth look at the past and the future of our environment. Pointing raised my consciousness regarding the trials we face as inhabitants of this great planet and left me with some food for thought
Throughout history, colors have been used as symbols in literature. When people see or hear certain colors, they automatically associate them with symbols and feelings. For example, red is love, blue is sadness, and purple is royalty. Many of these symbols are universal. You could go anywhere in the world and ask someone how yellow makes them feel, and they would say happy. Some great examples of color symbolism are in the novel The Great Gatsby.

characteristics in his work by breaking away from traditional Victorian era proprieties. Unlike many authors predating his time, Dylan Thomas evoked his audiences’ emotions through his lyrical prose, expressing “birth and death, fear, grief, joy and beauty” (“History of Art”). In “Fern Hill”, Thomas typified distinctive characteristics of the Modern era, such as unique writing style, the use of specific images that immortalize youth and time, and the effects of WWII. Modernists of this time introduced new writing

Have you ever wondered how the colors red, green, and gold came to be the Christmas colors that we all know and love? Even though it is not for certain where the idea for Christmas colors started, some believe people before Jesus such as Pagan gods came up with the idea. “As Christmas celebrations evolved over the centuries, these traditions echoed those of earlier times-some from before the time of Jesus, when pagan gods were honored (or appeased) with various customs, others from new cultural or

big deal today. In What Was Contemporary Art?, Richard Meyer said, “Contemporary art is not simply a function of the current moment or the immediate past. Contemporary art is also a relation between an ever-shifting present and volatile force of history” (280, par. 3). Yayoi Kusama is one of the top contemporary artist and considered as the
essential role throughout the novel. The color green is usually thought to embody envy or money. However, in this novel it does not symbolize either of these things. Many people have picked up on this and found that Fitzgerald uses it for something quite different, “Fitzgerald rarely uses the color as a description of jealousy. Rather, he uses green as a symbol of Gatsby's hope” (Brozak). He uses green to show the hope for the American Dream. Green is also always closely connected to Jay Gatsby.
