picked up from my work office library. It’s a 13 chapter book explaining many different sectors of the wind turbines‚ but I’m concentrating on the history of wind energy chapter 12. This chapter covers wind turbine pioneers Charles F. Brush and Poul la Cour and what they are famous for. This chapter also covers the development of wind turbines over time and also covers onshore and offshore wind turbines. This chapter is very helpful and contains sufficient information for me to start my research

Patriot Cultural Assignment "The Patriot" is an excellent movie. It may very well be one of the most exciting and moving war-drama movies of all time. There are very few films today that even come close to touching upon the American Revolution‚ which is why "The Patriot" is of such importance.

and bluster‚ prodded by the restless wind. Ski resorts don’t like to talk about wind–or storms in general—because it scares away the tourists‚ who somehow forget that winter is messy‚ cold‚ and wild‚ as if snow were laid down softly each night like a blanket over a sleeping baby. But wind is a fact of life in the mountains‚ as much a part of the weather as snow itself‚ and those who grumble about it or say it does nothing but blow overlook the fact that the wind gives as much as it takes. It can seem

A Long Way Gone Survival is a skill everyone’s born with but not many have to test it. In the memoir of Ishmael Beah‚ A Long Way Gone‚ he travels across the Sierra Leone bush to get away from the Revolutionary United Front(RUF) that is attacking his home village. Melissa Fay Greene from the Elle Magazine writes‚ “No outsider could have written this book‚ and it’s hard to imagine that many insiders could do so with such acute vision‚ stark language‚ and tenderness. It is a heartrending achievement

Not growing up in an environment like the ones of the characters I don’t seem to have any personal connections. However‚ as I compare the movie to the book I understand the tragic scenarios Ishmael‚ Solomon‚ and Solomon’s son went through. Innocent children and people were killed each day for no logic reason. Survival was something near to impossible. The book concentrates on Ishmael from an individual point of view. He knew about war yet he knew it was far away. He was much more secure with the

The Outsiders‚ elucidates that friendship becomes the most vital value in a world where parental influence is scarce and violence seems to be the only answer. Constantly in conflict are the two social groups known as the Socs‚ the rich and privileged‚ and the Greasers‚ the poor ‘hoods’‚ yet both find common ground in the fact that friendship is immensely important . The depth of the friendship between Johnny and Ponyboy can only be explained with one word‚ unbreakable. Both boys confide in each

Inherit the wind is the movie about the Scopes trial which took place in 1925 in Dayton‚ Tennessee. The Scopes trial was between the Christian belief of creation and Darwin’s theory of evolution. A school teacher named Bertram Cates was arrested from the high school where he was teaching the Darwin’s theory of evolution. This was because at that time of period it was against the law to teach about human creation unless it was from the Bible. The movie shows how the arrest
