How can Francois Furet be analyzed through the historiography of the French Revolution? I am struggling to pin point him to a certain distinction of historiography because it seems like he combines approaches from differing meta-narratives. Is he more of a Marxist or a Social historian?

The semester research project asks you to explore how history, culture, environment, landscape, and land use have shaped a sense of place in the Lehigh Valley over the last 50 years. For more on the entire project, see Sense of Place Research and Story Map Project.docx

For this part of the project, you'll submit a draft of final paper (8-10 pages), plus works cited, and at least one map, one photograph or image, and one graph or table of information (of your creation). Discuss your interpretation of the aspects of your chosen waterway’s history, present condition and future using the themes and perspectives discussed in class. Think of this as an exercise in historical, cultural, geographical and environmental interpretation. Your paper does not need to include all of these aspects, but it should be expressed through your particular lens of interpretation (i.e., cultural or scientific). Begin by formulating a thesis statement (Links to an external site.). This thesis statement should be included in the first paragraph of your paper.  Following the development of your thesis statement, I want you to outline your paper before you write it. See this (Links to an external site.) and this (Links to an external site.) for examples. You'll turn in the outline when you turn in the paper.

The most important goal of this assignment is to look at your chosen waterway, ask questions about it, and think about its past, present condition and future with reference to historical and geographical themes we’ve reviewed in this course.

You’ll need to do significant archival research to locate old documents and artifacts, such as: newspapers, water quality data, maps, photographs, advertisements, personal accounts, etc. You may also talk to local people and see what they have to say.

My question is: for how much longer are the community of students and teachers to be fooled by confusing theories about macroeconomics?
The universities are full of politically biased narrow-minded teachers of the old and messed-up theories in economics that were spoiled over a century ago when John Bates Clark and his friends responded to the industrialists and unions by claiming wrongly that both land and buildings are capital. The confusion that resulted has enabled student to pass their exams without they or their teachers really needing to properly understand their subject!
My recent book "Consequential Macroeconomics--Rationalizing About How Our Social System Works" has at last converted the old pseudo-science into a real one and I would be most glad to share it for free with any serious/sincere student or teacher

Extreme Nationalism began in Europe 1840 -1925 and composers became heavily involved in aspects of patriotism and protectionism in support of their native countries.  These composers used their music to make deliberate statements about political difficulties their countries were facing such as foreign interference and domination, to invoke national pride among citizens, to showcase unique ethnic characteristics they were proud of, and to celebrate their county in the concert-halls of world.

Central questions to which you should respond: What impact did the Industrial Revolution have on society (especially, on the workers) and the environment? What effects did the shift to manufacturing and carbon fuels produce around the world? You won't be able to answer all of these question fully in a short paper; instead, use them to develop a thesis/central argument that addresses these questions.

Your essay must:

1. have a thesis/central argument (see "Making Arguments and Writing Theses" in our textbook, pp. 157-160). Write your thesis in bold to make it stand out in the paper
2. utilize assigned readings and videos to support your argument
3. cite sources in parentheses: (Author’s Name, Page ##); no need for a bibliography or a work cited page for this assignment
4. NOT use any outside research for these essays (use only readings and videos from this class)
5.reflect an understanding of change over time and across space

You will be evaluated not only on the clarity of your thesis, but also on the degree to which you provide a clear framework with which to organize your evidence in support of your thesis. Since you are asked to address origins and change over time, a chronological organizational framework seems most appropriate (that is: start with event that took place further back in time and "move" towards the present).

You will also be graded on the mechanics of writing, spelling, sentence structure, organization, grammar, etc. as well as their appropriate inclusion of citations, with an emphasis on source analysis and integration. 

Essays should be a minimum of 900-1000 words in length (about 3 pages double-spaced or a little more), employ appropriate grammar and sentence structure, cite sources, and be reasonably free of typographical errors.
