Economic Benefits of the Falkirk Wheel
[ send me this paper ]
A 28 page paper discussing the restoration of centuries-old canals in Central Scotland and the creation of the Falkirk Wheel linking two of those canals, as well as the resulting rejuvenation of the economy of Central Scotland. The planners establishing the method by which the Project would take on various aspects of the overall plan appear to have approached their responsibilities systematically and with precision, with a view to the future. They also appear to have a firm idea of the manner in which growth arises from growth. Commercial development surrounding reclamation of the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, plus the associated creation of the Falkirk Wheel, has all the appearances of enabling sustainable economic growth in Central Scotland that likely would not have been possible otherwise. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

Egyptian Architecture During the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the changes in Egyptian architecture during the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms. During the Old Kingdom in Egypt an enormous amount of royal architectural triumphs were built including the great pyramids at Giza. The architecture of Egypt seems mostly to reflect the strength of the kingdoms at the time. The start of the Old Kingdom was the first dynasty (the Third Dynasty) to see the unification of the country under one monarch. This time also saw a great amount of prosperity. The kings during this period were equal to the gods and the monuments which were erected symbolized this. The tombs which existed during the first and second dynasties were eventually out built by first the step pyramids and then the geometric pyramids which are still considered wonders of the world today. The times during the Middle and New Kingdoms were somewhat more unstable and the kings did not have complete sovereignty over the land and the sizes of the monuments also diminished. During the Middle Kingdom elaborate temples were erected for the various cults of the gods. During the time of the Warrior Kings and the Ramses in the New Kingdom, the kings were considered powerful and many monuments and temples were erected to honor them however they were not equated with the gods and never received god-like structures comparable with the pyramids.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.
