Summary

Lost Cities in Parks reveals the hidden histories within America's national parks, exploring pre-Columbian settlements and early European impacts. These parks aren't just natural wonders; they're also significant historical sites holding clues to past civilizations. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the diverse narratives often overlooked in traditional American history. For example, archaeological evidence reveals that ancient peoples adapted and thrived in environments we now consider pristine wilderness.

 


 
The book progresses by first introducing national parks as cultural heritage repositories. It then examines specific sites like Mesa Verde and Cahokia Mounds, highlighting their history and cultural significance. Preservation challenges, from natural erosion to development pressures, are also explored, alongside ethical considerations in managing these resources.

 


 
The overarching goal is to promote public education and engagement to protect these invaluable cultural landscapes for future generations, ensuring these stories continue to be told.

    Clovis Culture The: The History...

    In popular media and culture, the Paleolithic era is often depicted as a time when humans were completely savage, spoke with little more than grunts, hit women over their heads with clubs and kidnapped them, and of course, everyone lived in caves. The reality is that the Paleolithic era was a time of great change when humans coalesced into groups and developed different technologies that helped them survive and ultimately thrive in harsh environments. Among the most important technologies developed by Paleolithic humans were those helping them hunt because, after all, the Paleolithic era was when humans lived as hunters and gatherers, so human survival and advancement were contingent upon developing better tools and weapons.  
Any examination of the Clovis culture begins with what is known. Archaeologists know the approximate chronological and geographic range of the Clovis culture, and they can identify what made the Clovis people unique. These were the projectile points the Clovis people made, setting them apart from most people that came before and after them, and it was those same tools that made them a successful people for such an extended period in the harsh climate of the Upper Paleolithic era (50,000 to 12,000 years ago). Scholars have also determined that the Clovis people were big game hunters, chasing and killing mammoths and other now-extinct animals across North America. The picture that has emerged of the Clovis people is one of an industrious, resourceful, and prolific people who became masters of the environment and North America for approximately 2,000 years. That being said, there is also much that is not known about the Clovis culture. For example, the Clovis people’s religious ideas, particularly about their views on an afterlife, remain a mystery. The lack of art at Clovis sites has also raised more questions, including if it was the result of a dearth of materials or societal norms and taboos.

    When God created the world, he considered everything to be good, and when God created man, everything was very good. With the fall into sin, evil entered our world. That was the beginning of mankind's misfortune.  The song, 'Wonderful Grace' sung by Chey at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.

    An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
 
 
 
The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.
