The period between 1867 and 1914 remains the greatest watershed in human history since the emergence of settled agricultural societies: the time when an expansive civilization based on synergy of fuels, science, and technical innovation was born. At its beginnings in the 1870s were dynamite, the telephone, photographic film, and the first light bulbs. Its peak decade - the astonishing 1880s - brought electricity - generating plants, electric motors, steam turbines, the gramophone, cars, aluminum production, air-filled rubber tires, and prestressed concrete. And its post-1900 period saw the fir

The present economic system requires us to consume and throw away more and more goods. Yet often it’s our desire, and the best interests of the environment, for these goods to last. The contributors to this book, who comprise many of the most significant international thinkers in the field, explore how longer lasting products could offer enhanced value while reducing environmental impacts. If we created fewer but better quality products, looked after them carefully and invested more in repair, renovation and upgrading, would this direct our economy onto a more sustainable course?

Most perplexing, though, is a strange young woman, Mary Powers, who bursts into his life and takes him on a trip that, at first appears meaningless, but ultimately provides him with the human contact n

The Korea was liberated by America but divided in north and south, and then the North invaded the South on June, 1950. Following the cease fire on 1953, the DMZ was born by the Military Armistice Agreement.
