unlikely to do so. In all probability, 1979 marked the peak of oil consumption in the European Union (see Figure 4). Figure 4: EU Oil Demand by Product Group Within the OECD, it is clear that oil already had begun to lose its place in the static burning sector (i.e., among the fuels used for industrial processes, space heating, and power generation) even before the 1979 oil price shock (see Figure 5). Indeed, it was the first price spike in the modern era, six years earlier in 1973, that marked the

peu plus tard, en 1528, Narváez explora la partie septentrionale du golfe du Mexique, de la Floride jusqu'au Texas. À la recherche d'or, Hernando de Soto traversa le sud-est du continent, allant de l'actuel État de Georgie vers l'Ouest, jusqu'au Mississippi. Partant du Mexique, Vázquez de Coronado parcourut les présents États d'Arizona, du Nouveau-Mexique et du Texas, pour constater que ces territoires, dépourvus d'or, intéressaient peu les Espagnols. Ces premières explorations aboutirent donc à une

Geological Survey, on the basis of the area of damage (231,660 square miles) and the area it was felt in (1,930,502 square miles), the largest known earthquakes in North America were the little-known Mississippi River valley earthquakes of 1811–12. They created new lakes and changed the whole course of the Mississippi. The area of strong shaking was ten times larger than that in San Francisco in 1906. Church bells rang spontaneously as far away as Massachusetts. It is impossible to predict when an earthquake

the monkey king was a powerful and revered warrior who assisted the great god Rama and is one of the most popular figures in Hindu mythology. But the values Moorthy espouses are particularly Gandhian: truth, love of humankind, and love of God. The burning of his foreign books and clothing reflect campaigns that were fairly widespread to boycott British educational institutions and imports, although they inevitably remind the Western reader as well of Italy’s St. Francis, who cast off his clothes and

solar confidence in your ability to come up with a fantastic idea every time you sit down to work. Living at either end of the spectrum will debilitate you. In fact, it’s probably best to err on the side of fear. A small, steady pilot light of fear burning in your stomach is part and parcel of the creative process. If you’re doing something that’s truly new, you’re in an area where there are no signposts yet—no up and down, no good or bad. It seems to me, then, that fear is the constant traveling companion

of the amusing stories in letter form, Major Jones's Courtship (1840); Johnson Jones Hooper (1815-1862), author of Widow Rugby's Husband, and Other Tales of Alabama (1851); Joseph G. Baldwin (1815-1864), who wrote The Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi (1853); and Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790-1870), whose Georgia Scenes (1835) are as important in "local color" as they are racy in humor. Yet none of these writers yield the excellent short story which is also a good piece of humorous literature

Irish-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans… It’s the same old story: penniless immigrants arrive on American shores seeking a new life. And because they work hard, they manage to have a better life. But at a time when immigration is such a burning political issue, is the American Dream still alive? To answer our questions, we’re pleased to welcome Alejandro Perez. Could you tell us more about yourself? Alejandro Perez: Good evening Bill. Well, first of all, let me tell you that the dream is
