"One approach for a permanent lunar colony advocates such settlements as being early stages in human colonization of the solar system as well as much of interstellar space; indeed, a permanent colony on the Moon has long featured in science fiction but it is now seriously considered by proponents in the United States, Japan and Russia, who foresee a permanent presence of people there within the next decade or two (Lindberg, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the feasibility of colonizing the moon. The discussion includes the kinds of technology colonists would need to establish a permanent presence on the Moon, what they would need to survive, and what commercial aspects would be involved.

Abstract
This paper describes the challenges that John Winthrop faced in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony as evidenced in the writings of Edmund Morgan.

From the Paper
"John Winthrop faced a number of problems in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As biographer Edmund S. Morgan notes; "Winthrop kept a journal that recorded the issues that he had to contend with in the Colony. His difficulties are therefore well documented and open to historical examination." The governor of Massachusetts, Winthrop, held a position of power in the government of the colony but his primary concern was that of leading the people and operating the Colony according to the Puritan..."

Abstract
The writer relates that when he conducted an experiment based upon applying the scientific method to observe and study the phenomenon of the moon's apparent change in colour, it became evident from the results that atmospheric effects seemed to be making the moon appear to be a different colour when it was just above the earth's horizon than when it was high in the sky later in the evening. After observing this phenomenon, the writer conducted research and learned that air molecules in the earth's atmosphere are the physical mechanism responsible for the apparent orange hue of the moon when it first rises above the horizon, for they scatter the light, making some colours of the spectrum more visible and other colours less visible.

Abstract
The Jamestown colony was founded by the Virginia Company as an entrepreneurial enterprise. It was sponsored by the King of England, in 1606 and predated the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This paper describes the hardships that plagued the early Jamestown settlers, which lead to its abandonment in the early summer of 1610. However, in August of that year, 150 new settlers arrived on a ship from England to help rebuild Jamestown in its original location but under new leadership. The paper concludes that Jamestown strengthened the English presence in the New World, established the tobacco trade and set the tone for the future of America.

From the Paper
"For several years, the colony operated smoothly under the Charter. However, relations between the English settlers and the indigenous Algonquins remained strained. In 1622, Algonquin warriors launched one of their most successful offensives on the Jamestown settlement, killing more than 300 settlers. The attack was led by Opechancanough. A few years later a trading expedition was thwarted by marauding Indians. To retaliate, Captain William Tucker and Dr. John Potts poisoned two hundred Powhattans by pretending to propose a peace toast."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the history of illusions and the effect they have had on the intellectual development of the western world. The paper discusses the roots of the problem of the moon allusion in philosophy and the crossover into psychology. An outline is presented of what the moon illusion is, illustrating the issues of size and distance of the moon. The paper provides some of the common responses to the moon allusion by people like Baird and Wagner, Kaufman and Rock, Parks, and Reed. The implications for both science and philosophy for the various outcomes achieved by the researchers are examined.

From the Paper
"Open up any philosophical text, from the elementary textbook, Does the Center Hold? by Donald Palmer to the Oxford History of Western Philosophy. The first entry in the book will be Socrates. Even as far back as that, and probably further back than that, people have been concerned with the problems of perception. Idealism, realism, skepticism. How do we know what we know when the world can change so frequently, so fast. If our senses sometimes deceive us, and they tend to deceive us often, how can we rely upon them to tell us about the outside world. Perhaps it was when these questions were first posed that the science of psychology was first born."

Abstract
The paper describes the geology of the moon as determined by samples brought back from the moon and gravitational and magnetic studies carried out by the Apollo and Lunar Prospector missions. It describes the types of minerals found on the moon, and how the various geologic features were formed.

Abstract
The paper relates that the Saturnian moon of Titan is interesting, in that while it is a moon, it has many characteristics of a planet, and in a sense, is similar to earth. The paper describes the composition and atmosphere of Titan, its surface and the information about the moon that has been gained via the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the name of which find its origins in Greek mythology, in the legend of the Titans, which include Cronus, Saturn in Roman mythology and thereby more relevant. Titan is the only moon in the solar system known to have clouds and a dense atmosphere. It was discovered through the use of a telescope in 1655 by the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens during an exploration of the endless wonders of the night sky. His discover of Titan was the first planetary satellite to be found following the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, and in and of itself was quite substantial. (EB 1) Should one look to the moon from an earth-based telescope, the moon possesses a brownish color with a light red tint and looks primarily flat and featureless, due to the clouds of the atmosphere mentioned above."

Abstract
This paper discusses the moon imagery in Shelley's novel and as it relates to her personal life. By associating these ideas of nature, society and man with their respective symbols of the moon, societal traits and the monster, Shelley connected the story of "Frankenstein" to her life. It shows how the moon is used to pinpoint important ideas of "Frankenstein" in relation to the popular opinions during Shelley's time and to indicate her personal connection to characters in the story.

From the Paper
"The Romantic authors considered nature to be pure, void of corruption by society. Although society caused corruption, individuals, at birth, were also pure entities. These ideas existed before the Romantic era, delineated by John Locke during the late seventeenth century. Locke addressed a hypothetical situation: "man in the state of nature." He concluded that, before despoiled by society, man's mind is a "tabula rasa" or blank slate (Palmer 307). The monster, when he initially emerges from Frankenstein's house, is the perfect embodiment of purity. When the monster discovers the moon, he exists in a world of indistinct chaos, feeling only "light, hunger, and thirst, and darkness" (Shelley 88). The monster's elemental existence is a reproduction of the ideas of man's untainted state at birth."

Abstract
This paper analyzes William Least Heat Moon's "Blue Highways", which is an account of his journey along the back roads of the United States. The papers relates that Heat Moon's writing style is so compelling that the reviewer feels as if he is riding along in the passenger seat. A central theme of the story is that, even in Heat Moon's search for his ancestral roots, the only thing that is constant is change.

From the Paper
"It seems that the looming issues in Heat Moon's life were a major influence on his decision to set out on this journey. After losing his wife to another man and losing his job, he decided to head out on a search for forgotten parts of America and the American experience by traveling the old back roads through old towns. This is an attempt to see passed the superficial nature of modern American culture by connecting with himself and nature by admiring idyllic, and not so idyllic, landscapes."
