  Tairona Civilization - The...

  The Tairona civilization emerged in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a mountainous region in present-day northern Colombia. This environment, with its dense forests, rivers, and proximity to the Caribbean coast, provided the resources necessary for the development of a complex society. The origins of the Tairona can be traced back to around 200 CE, when early communities began establishing settlements in the highlands and along the coast. These groups developed distinct cultural traditions that set them apart from other indigenous societies in the region. 
  Archaeological evidence suggests that the Tairona were part of the broader Chibchan linguistic and cultural family, which included other groups in Central America and northern South America. Their language and customs connected them to a vast network of indigenous peoples, yet they developed a unique identity characterized by their architectural achievements, goldsmithing skills, and intricate social structures. Unlike nomadic tribes, the Tairona built permanent settlements that evolved into thriving city-states. These cities were connected by a network of stone-paved roads, stairways, and terraces, showcasing an advanced understanding of engineering and urban planning. 
  The natural landscape played a crucial role in shaping the early Tairona civilization. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta provided fertile land for agriculture, allowing them to cultivate maize, beans, and cassava. The coastal regions, on the other hand, gave them access to an abundance of marine resources, including fish and shellfish. This diversity of food sources enabled population growth and the expansion of settlements. Over time, the Tairona developed irrigation systems and terraced farming techniques to maximize agricultural production, ensuring food security for their communities.

  America’s Greatest Engineering...

  Editors Charles River

  The Transcontinental Railroad, laid across the United States during the 1860s, remains the very epitome of contradiction. On the one hand, it was a triumph of engineering skills over thousands of miles of rough terrain, but on the other hand, it drained the natural resources in those places nearly dry. It “civilized” the American West by making it easier for women and children to travel there, but it dispossessed Native American civilizations that had lived there for generations. It made the careers of many men and destroyed the lives from many others. It was bold and careless, ingenious and cruel, gentle and violent, and it enriched some and bankrupted others. In short, it was the best and worst of 19th century America in action. 
  Traveling around the tip of South America was fraught with danger, and European explorers and settlers had proposed building a canal in Panama or Nicaragua several centuries before the Panama Canal was actually built. Taking about 10 years to build, workers had to excavate millions of cubic yards of earth and fight off hordes of insects to make Roosevelt’s vision a reality. Roosevelt also had to tie up the U.S. Navy in a revolt in Colombia to ensure Panama could become independent and thus ensure America had control of the canal. 
  During the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression, thousands of workers began work on the Hoover Dam, built in the Black Canyon, which had been cut by the powerful Colorado River. The Colorado River was responsible for the Grand Canyon, and by the 20th century, the idea of damming the river and creating an artificial lake was being explored for all of its potential, including hydroelectric power and irrigation. By the time the project was proposed in the 1920s, the contractors vowing to build it were facing the challenge of building the largest dam the world had ever known. As if that wasn’t enough, the landscape was completely unforgiving.

  Networks of Trust - The Social...

  An eye-opening look at how parents’ mistrust of colleges has less to do with what their kids are learning than with whom they come to trust. Higher education is a familiar battlefield in today’s culture wars. The right accuses colleges and universities of indoctrinating conservative students with liberal values; the left, with failing to be sufficiently inclusive. The anxieties expressed on both sides of the political spectrum have much in common, however, and they are triggered not by colleges’ failures but by their successes.​So argues philosopher Anthony Simon Laden in Networks of Trust. He highlights how a college education shapes students’ informational trust networks: the complex set of people and institutions they rely on for the information they use to think about and understand the world. While the networks that colleges build for students have great value, learning to inhabit them pulls some students away from their families and communities. If many people distrust institutions of higher education, this is one reason why. Networks of Trust offers a path forward, one that preserves the value while reducing the harms of a college education. It includes concrete suggestions for how colleges and universities can educate students in a manner that inspires and deserves trust: one that bridges rather than deepens our social divides.
