Abstract
This paper explains that, as a secondary source document, Seeley's lecture "The Indian Empire" is a good example of its author's perception and interpretation of the making and evolution of the British Raj; the text offers a brief panorama of what Seeley calls the "monstrous enterprise". The author summarizes the key themes as (1) the conquest of India and the expansion of Greater Britain, (2) Seeley's vision of the processes at its origin, (3) the advantages and disadvantages of India as a dominion from a political and economic point of view, (4) the relationship between Britain and India and (5) a solution to the Indian question. The paper concludes that a historian not only describes historical facts but also strives to suggest future political actions; thus, history becomes a tool of politics.
From the Paper
"From 1874 to the beginning of the 20th century, Britain added to her Empire 4 750 000 sq.m. inhabited by nearly 90 million people, who had a multitude of different languages and customs. At a time when the determination to hold British India became even greater, Seeley points out that the Punjab is superior in population to Spain in order to show on how great a scale British expansion had been carried out. Why would the British engage in large-scale expansion if it demanded such a considerable investment of resources and capital, in a part of the globe that seemed so removed from Englishness? Seeley seems to disapprove of the phenomenon that had actually begun with the first British expeditions to India and with Clive and Hastings (line 99 to 105). But acquisitions of larger territories were carried out much later, during the mid-18th century."

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.
A Critique of Jack Weatherford's "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Something New Under the Sun" by J.R McNeill, in which he provides a detailed environmental history of the twentieth century. The paper discusses the theories put forward in the book and suggests that what is different under the sun is the relationship between human beings and the environment.
From the Paper
"What's New Under the Sun? In Something New Under the Sun J.R. McNeill provides a detailed environmental history of the twentieth century. With this title McNeill seems to be suggesting that something brand new has appeared on the earth. The question that must be asked about this book is what is new under the sun? Is it atomic energy? Genetically engineered organisms? Or maybe solar power? The answer is actually far more complicated. McNeill is not suggesting that a single object, processes or technology in the twentieth century was so new and revolutionary that it has fundamentally changed the world."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a book review of J.R. Hale's "Renaissance Explorers". Hale's text examines the history of European exploration and exploitation of the lands beyond Europe, primarily during the late 15th century and early 16th century. The paper shows that his examination traces developments in Africa, in North and South America, in Australia, and in other lands. Hale also provides information regarding the methods of these explorers and resources for further study.
From the Paper
"J.R. Hale's Renaissance Exploration is a slim yet comprehensive examination of the exploration of the world by European explorers during the Renaissance. Hale's primary argument in this text is that the period of exploration during the late 1400s and early 1500s marked a new era in the history of Europe and even in the history of the world (Hale 7). This is an astute and utterly accurate assessment of the situation in Europe during this period. In truth, a number of historical forces came together at that time for Europe, providing it with the technology, the psychology, as well as the political and economic resources to fully explore and exploit the world (Hale 28). Not only was Europe in the business of exploring the world during this era, the explorations that occurred helped Europeans sketch out their sense of the world and its lands (Hale 7)."

Abstract
The paper explains that Jack Weatherford began to examine the history of the Native American as he discovered that many agricultural products would not have been produced in farming without the knowledge that Indians gave those in the new world. The paper describes how Weatherford further stipulates that it is through these advances in agriculture that the United States has remained a strong contender in the global market ,and that without the influences of the Native Americans on the early settlers those new to America would not have survived. The paper analyzes how, through his work, "Indian Givers: How Indians of the Americas Transformed the World", Volume I, Weatherford brings an insight to a people that most individuals have been negligent in understanding. The paper concludes that it is Weatherford's purpose to demonstrate that Native Americans have been a misrepresented and forgotten people when the history of North America is discussed.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The relationship between Judiciary and Executive/Legislature in a country like India has always been contentious. The 57 years of the working of the Indian Constitution has more than once seen a supremacy tussle between the Judiciary and Executive on one hand and the Legislature on the other. One of the most inextricable reason of such a tussle has always been the Ninth Schedule which has more or less met its fate with the I.R.Coelho judgment. However, for a deeper and an unbiased understanding, it would be better to start from the history of the Ninth Schedule."

From the Paper
"Gender will become an increasingly important issue in the Indian business world, as businesses continue to hire greater numbers of women to fill the labor void created by an expanding market. This research study hypothesizes that in mixed-sex workforce groups, interactions between males and females continue to be dominated by attitudes that women hold a lower social status than men. The study examines the usage of upward influence (UI) in the workplace environment (Asha, Mahfooz, & Himanshu, 2006).

From the Paper
"A book entitled "The Red Man's on the Warpath: The Image of the "Indian" and the Second World War," written by R. Scott Sheffield, provides an interesting perspective regarding the role of democracy in the defense proposed by the people of the First Nations during World War II. Within Canada, there was a strong emphasis placed upon freedom, and coupled with this emphasis was a desire to better understand the significance of the Native people within this environment (Sheffield 2). This book also examines the concerns related to the Native population, which were eventually reintroduced to the political forefront as a means of providing an opportunity for the Natives to gain a greater role in society (Sheffield 3).
