Ellen Churchill Semple (January 8, 1863 – May 8, 1932) was an American geographer. Ellen was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the youngest of five children by Alexander Bonner Semple and Emerine Price. She is most closely associated with work in anthropogeography and environmentalism. In a series of books and papers she communicated certain aspects of the work of German geographer Friedrich Ratzel to the Anglophone community. Standard disciplinary accounts often attribute to Semple a prevailing interest in environmental determinism, a theory that the physical environment, rather than social conditions, determines culture; however her later work emphasized environmental influences as opposed to the environment's deterministic effect on culture, reflecting broader academic discontent with environmental determinism after the First World War. Semple studied at Vassar College and the University of Leipzig. She taught at the University of Chicago and at Clark University. She died at West Palm Beach, Florida. Ellen C. Semple Elementary School in Louisville is named after Semple. She is buried in the Cave Hill National Cemetery in Louisville. [more]

We are all familiar with the story of Adolf Hitler that the United States, Britain and the Jews would like you to believe. Hitler has been made out to be one of the most “evil” people to have ever lived, slaughtering millions of innocent Jews. This same story has been echoed throughout Hollywood for decades, and by now it’s safe to say billions of dollars have been spent to convince you of this black and white, good vs evil perspective about the Nazi regime. What if it isn’t entirely accurate? I can tell you it is definitely not accurate. What you see on the T.V screens or in the movies or documentaries about World War 2 is the Jewish version of WW2 and they will not tell you the truth but this book will. You see the Jews own Hollywood and own 97% of the media in the Western World so you are not likely to get the truth about WW2 from these. “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of masses. If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcolm X. If you read the book please leave a review if possible, thanks. [more]

In This Modern Industrial Civilization Of Which We Are Sometimes Wont To Boast, A Certain Glacier-Like Process May Be Observed. The Bewildered, The Helpless--And There Are Many--Are Torn From The Parent Rock, Crushed, Rolled Smooth, And Left Stranded In strange Places. Thus Was Edward Bumpus Severed and Rolled From The Ancestral Ledge, From The Firm Granite Of Seemingly Stable And Lasting things, Into Shifting shale; Surrounded By Fragments Of Cliffs From Distant Lands He Had Never Seen. Thus, At Five And Fifty, He Found Himself Gate-Keeper Of The Leviathan Chippering mill In the City Of Hampton. [more]

That Winter Many Other Entertainments Were Given In Our Honour. But The Conviction Grew Upon Me That Maude Had No Real Liking For The Social Side Of Life, That She Acquiesced In It Only On My Account. Thus, At The Very Outset Of Our Married Career, An Irritant Developed: Signs Of It, Indeed, Were Apparent From The First, When We Were Preparing The House We Had Rented For Occupancy. Hurrying Away From My Office At Odd Times To Furniture And Department Stores To Help Decide Such Momentous Questions As Curtains, Carpets, Chairs And Tables I Would Often Spy The Tall, Uncompromising Figure Of Susan Peters Standing Beside Maude's, While An Obliging Clerk Spread Out, Anxiously, Rugs Or Wall-Papers For Their Inspection.
