Mario Riggi Response Paper #1 9/23/10 A few weeks back we watched part one of a three part miniseries called “Guns, Germs, and Steel.” In this series, Jared Diamond takes us back to the beginning of man to explain to us how Eurasian civilizations have developed and thrived with the environment in which they live in. We start off in Papua New Guinea, which is one of few places that still have hunter-gatherers as inhabitants. Why since ancient times have some societies progressed faster than others?

Murray, angered at this critical tenure review by men whose opinion he did not overly respect, went on leave from 1937 until the fall of 1941. After a year in Europe, he returned to the United States to work on his biography of Herman Melville, taking Melville through age thirtythree, when he finished Pierre. With the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the world changed, and Murray’s conception of himself and his work in the world also changed. Fighting against Nazism and winning World War II became of greatest immediate importance, while exploring the unconscious had a lower priority. In response to a request from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, Murray finished by October 1943 a 227-page psychological study of Adolf Hitler, “Analysis of the Personality of Adolph [sic] Hitler, with Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany’s Surrender.” Much of this was later published, without adequate acknowledgement of Murray’s role, by Walter C. Langer as The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report (1972).
They both used stone and mud bricks as the predominant building material. Ancient Egyptian houses were made out of mud collected from the Nile River. It was placed in molds and left to dry in the hot sun to harden for use in construction. There is consensus among historians and Egyptologists that the ancient Egyptians were the first builders ever known to man; they taught humanity how to design and erect buildings; thus laying grounds for human civilization, urbanization and man's settlement in a specific homeland of his own for the first time in history. Cities were built in cultivation land near the Nile River so the natural flooding would water their crops, and bring with it natural minerals needed by the crops.
Veneration of Columbus in America dates back to colonial times. The name Columbia for "America" first appeared in a 1738 weekly publication of the debates of the British Parliament.

In 1812, the name 'Columbus' was given to the newly founded capital of Ohio.

A City so Grand Between the years of 1850-1890, the city of Boston transformed itself into a model of reform for the rest of the country. Boston became recognized as one of the most prominent and influential cities in the aspects of politics, medicine, science, and commerce.
