Abstract
This paper discusses the art of dancer Loie Fuller and her illustrious career as a dancer. It looks at Fuller's unique contribution to dance as an innovative blend of the artistic and the scientific. The paper contends that although her dances cannot compare on a technical level with the kinds of special effects that even a straight-to-video movie has today, she is in many ways directly responsible for what we see on both stage and screen.
From the Paper
"Loie Fuller was not a great dancer. Although she studied dance as a child she quickly gave up on the lessons because she found them too difficult. But this did not stop her from having an illustrious career as a dancer because Fuller did have something wondrous to offer her audiences which was a unique and innovative blend of the artistic and the scientific. Although her dances in which she was partnered with the magic of early electrical lighting cannot compare on a technical level ..."

Abstract
There are elements of Margaret Fuller's life that seem to belong to a story, and Madeleine Stern has taken advantage of that fact in her biography. Unlike more formal biographies, this one reads like a work of fiction. Stern used dialogue and description as if this were a novel. Nonetheless, the techniques she used are somewhat controversial, since they represent a recreation of events and thoughts that the author cannot really know.

"The Life of Margaret Fuller
Introduction
There are elements of Margaret Fuller's life that seem to belong to a story, and Madeleine Stern has taken advantage of that fact in her biography. Unlike more formal biographies, this one reads like a work of fiction. Stern used dialogue and description as if this were a novel. Nonetheless, the techniques she used are somewhat controversial, since they represent a recreation of events and thoughts that the author cannot really know. Although Stern indicated that all the details were known from either Fuller's journals or other sources, this is clearly not true when she described what other people were thinking and feeling. In this respect, her work does include invention".

Identity: The Unique American Experience of Emerson, Thoreau and Fuller, 2002.
A look at Transcendental philosophy's outlook on American identity.
2,505 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A look at this 19th century school of philosophy, with a focus on three main scholars - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller. All three of these Transcendentalists dealt with the identity of the "self" from different perspectives. The author finds that while they share several key elements - the notion of independence and "entitlement" in thought and action being chief among them-they also diverge on specific applications for the Transcendentalist philosophy.
From the Paper
"The American identity has a character and uniqueness all its own, not without obvious cause: never before was such a "grand experiment" of self-rule implemented on such a vast scale. Under the auspices of unprecedented liberty and self-determination, the American consciousness and identity developed with its own flavor and distinction, heavily weighted with the notions of individual freedoms, rights, and responsibilities.
American authors and scholars took that freedom to heart, emerging beyond mere scholarship and letters into the realms of philosophies that influence us to this day. In the nineteenth century, one of the major new philosophical schools of thought in America was the Transcendentalist movement, and a list of its primary "thinkers" now reads like a "Who's Who" of American literature. Among the names on the list are three whose philosophies we will touch on in this essay: Emerson, Thoreau, and Fuller."

"The Morality of Law", 2006.
A critical analysis of the book, "The Morality of Law" by Lon Fuller.
1,074 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The primary concern of Fuller in "The Morality of Law" is to defend a 'procedural' natural law that can serve a variety of opposed aims with neutrality. At the same time, however, it is not neutral with regards to all possible substantive aims. Underlying Fuller's approach is the view that law is "the enterprise of subjecting human conduct to the governance of rules." The concept of law in this instance is an 'activity' and the result of a legal system is a sustained purposive effort. And so, certain moral conditions must be fulfilled in order for the making of law to be successful. Although perfection in legality is a useful target, according to Fuller, it presumably is never perfectly realized. This paper argues that although Lon Fuller places the connection between law and morality in the context of his general theory, he fails to explain it. Without proper explanation, Fuller does not show that naturalism is true.
From the Paper
"The last sign of the need for clarification is found in Fuller's discussion of the limits of legal morality. He criticizes critics of administrative agencies of the government who wish to impose a legal morality upon these agencies that is not appropriate to their task of economic allocation. This task is contrasted with adjudication wherein the restraints set by the internal morality of law are appropriate. The problem with Fuller's argument is that it seems to carry a debatable implication, namely that law-making is itself a form of adjudication."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Rule of Law. It review the concepts discussed in "The Problem of the Grudge Informer", by Lon Fuller. The paper discusses the hypothetical problem in the law that is clearly based on the real world experience of Germany under the Nazi regime. Fuller's problem essentially concerns the concept of the rule of law and how the law can be said to exist in a state in which a duly elected government willingly and successfully perverts justice for its own ends while all the while acting within the many of the technical parameters of the legal code of that specific state.

Transcendentalism, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the philosophy of transcendentalism through the interpretations of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller. It draws from their interpretations and illustrates transcendentalism through Emerson's and Fuller's essays, "Self-Reliance" and "The Great Lawsuit," respectively. The paper then compares their views in terms of gender differences.
From the Paper
"Emerson also argued how modern society had put down human faculties and ability to learn through his/her feelings--aptly determined as perception. The perception/fact dichotomy has plagued human thinking for many years, and this development in the modern period has been a cause for concern, since, according to Emerson, perception need not be considered as a simple concept that do not have a significant role in influencing human thoughts and feelings. Perceptions, as explicated in the essay, are not "whimsical, but fatal. If I see a trait, my children will see it after me, and in course of time, all mankind--although it may chance that no one has seen it before me. For my perception of it is as much a fact as the sun." Thus, Emerson believed that humanity should not only give strong belief on facts, but most importantly, on human perceptions. It is only through human perceptions that higher forms of reality and knowledge can be achieved and become humanly possible."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The second incident takes place when Tamburlaine burns the Koran, challenging Mahomet to punish him. Although he is later struck with illness, this act is a declaration of God's power and Mahomet's powerlessness: Mahomet can not prevent Tamburlaine from destroying the Koran, despite his ability to descend from the sky and interact with human beings (Dailey 158).
"These two passages can be read with an eye to Marxist literary criticism. In both scenes, religion is the source of conflict and destruction. A Marxist reading of this play would necessarily be compelled to examine these scenes, given Karl Marx's opinion on religion."

Colonial Essex County, Massachusetts, 1999.
Examines architectural development, land use and town planning, focusing on Fuller family houses in Middleton.

From the Paper
"The rapid, steady development of Essex County, Massachusetts led to the creation of an architectural landscape that, by the end of the colonial period, differed considerably from those of other rural regions of New England. The Fuller houses of Middleton demonstrate the type of house that predominated in Middleton and similar Essex communities. The history of the family displays a common pattern for the region as the economically advanced Fullers moved into an outlying area and, building on their advantage, became leading citizens of the township that grew up around them.
Recent scholarship has challenged some of the prevailing notions about the village settlement and architectural makeup of New England towns. Joseph Wood's studies of settlement patterns have demonstrated that the notion that the villages of New..."

Abstract
This paper reviews Carol Levin's biography of Queen Elizabeth I, which explores issues of gender and politics in addition to Elizabeth's life. The reviewer describes Levin's book as combining historiography with deft historical, psychological, and social analysis. The reviewer expresses appreciation for Levin's use of primary sources, which allow the reader to get a fuller understanding of Elizabeth I. The reviewer concludes by stating that Levin created a scholarly biography of Queen Elizabeth I, placing the Queen in a historical perspective. Levin also showed how Elizabeth crafted her public image in light of prevailing gender norms.
From the Paper
"The scope of Levin's book is extraordinary given its length. For example, the author explores the general issue of image management and public relations through the model of Elizabeth I while at the same time offering readers a synopsis of the Queen's personal and political life. While Elizabeth assumed the "heart and stomach of a king," she simultaneously cultivated an image of ideal femininity. Her ability to blend masculine and feminine traits in her persona and public image were keys to her power and success. In Chapter 6, "Elizabeth as King and Queen," the author shows how the Queen "took on what might be perceived as the male role, certainly the position of power," in her sexual relationships and in her public life. Levin backs up her argument not only with primary source data and evidence but also with allusions to contemporaneous literature, Shakespeare in particular. Shakespeare, although not officially a historian, nevertheless offered poignant social, political, and historical commentary about sixteenth-century England and Europe. Levin refers to Shakespeare to illustrate the prevailing conceptions of gender, gender roles, and gender-bending in sixteenth-century England. Placing Elizabeth I into perspective and incorporating social and political context into the Queen's life emerges as one of the main strengths of Levin's work. The author achieves a strong contextualization of Elizabeth through an examination of contemporaneous gender roles and norms. Thus, Shakespeare becomes a valid window with which to view Elizabethan-era British society."

e-Business, 2006.
A discussion of the benefits of e-commerce to the consumer and producers.
1,213 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This article discusses e-commerce, particularly the exchange of information. It discusses the concepts of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B). The paper then goes on to discuss the advantages of e-commerce to the consumer in terms of greater access to fuller information on prices of goods and services and the advantage to producers in terms of direct access to a greater market potential for their goods and services.
From the Paper
"The Web does offer a new medium by which vendors can bring their goods and services to the market. Though there are many accounts that describe the business models evident on the Web, there are no definitive and wholly consistent frameworks. Some base their definitions on revenue streams, a sub-set that includes advertising, subscription, pay-per-view and transaction (and combinations thereof). Amazon, for example, sells books on which it makes revenue per book sold, and also carries advertising, generally for complementary products and services. Thus if you were to buy a travel book, for example, you might also be linked to holiday companies that offer trips to the book's destination."
