Sometimes plant growth is compared to the lush areas of the well-watered and mild coasts of the states of Washington and Oregon. Most of Britain was once covered with thick deciduous forests in which oak trees predominated. The impact of centuries of dense human population has massively altered the flora of Britain and only tiny remains of these forests remain today. Although 10 per cent of Britain is still forested, most of this area consists of commercially planted, fast-growing forests in Wales and northeastern Scotland. Before they were affected by centuries of clearing and human use, the great oak forests spread over the best soils in Britain. Forests were unable to establish themselves in the poorer soils of the mountains, wetlands, heath, and moorlands. The plants common to these areas are heather, gorse (astelhernes), peat moss (sammal), rowan (pihlakas) and bilberry (mustikas). These regions have been altered by heavy grazing of livestock and by controlled burning. Some wetland areas have been subjected to massive draining efforts for hundreds of years and are now covered by towns and farmland. 8. Agriculture, natural resources The open fields with their tiny strips of land worked by farmers were quickly replaced by compact farms, with large farms surrounded by hedges and ditches to prevent stray animals from ruining the crops or mixing with the new, improved breeds of sheep and cattle. This so-called agricultural revolution left large numbers of the rural population landless but also led to the massive increase in agricultural production necessary to feed the country's growing non-agricultural population. Less than 3% of the working population is employed in agriculture in Britain, yet the industry produces about two- thirds of the country's food requirements. Most of the farms are devoted to dairying or b...
Introduction Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of an organism at both the cellular and social level. In the medical field, health is commonly defined as an organism's ability to succesfully respond to challenges and effectively restore and keep a so-called ,,state of balance". 2. History · Early hospitals During the Middle Ages the hospital could serve other functions, such as an almshouse for the poor, or hostel for pilgrims. In ancient cultures, religion and medicine were linked. The earliest known institutions aiming to provide cure were Egyptian temples. Greek temples dedicatedto the healer-god, might admit the sick, who would wait for guidance from the god in a dream. The Romans adopted this worship. The Sri Lankans are perhaps responsible for introducing theconcept ofdedicated hospitals to the world. According to an ancient chronicle, written in the 6 th centur...
Introduction A library is a collection of books. Libraries are maintained by a public body such as an institution or an individual. These collections are used by people who choose not to (or cannot afford) purchase an extensive collection themselves or who need professional assistance with their research. However, with the collection of media other than books, many libraries are now also access points for maps, prints or other documents and artworks such as microfilm, audio tapes, CDs, cassettes and DVDs. So, modern libraries are being redifined as places to get access to information in many formats and from many sources. In addition to providing materials, they also provide the services of specialists who are experts in matters related to finding and organizing inf...

Ande Andekas-Lammutaja Kunstiajalugu - Kõrgrenessanss Andrea Palladio elustas antiikstiili ning üllitas 4 arhitektuurialast raamatut (1570), mis said teistele kunstnikele suureks eeskujuks. Seal arendas ta oma teooria, mida kutsuti palladionismiks (armastus antiigi vastu; ehitise välisvaate kujundamine sammastega, kreeka antiigi motiivid). Kolossaalorder on hiigelsammas(tik), mis ulatub läbi mitme korruse. 16.saj hakati eristama lihtsalt loomist ja kunsti. Rõhutati kunstniku erinevust tavainimesest, looja on geniaalne. Kunstniku inspiratsioon arvati pärinevat Jumalalt. Leonardo da Vinci (ehk Leo Vinci linnast; 1452-1519) oli tõeline suurmeister, tal oli küll vähe lõpetatud töid, kuid see-eest palju kavandeid. Esimeseks iseseisvaks tööks oli "Maarja kuulutamine". Milano hertsog kutsus...

Even in society there are always black sheep and these people are called 'criminals'. Although we are part of the EU and tend to be as humane as possible, we have to deal with the problem of growing numbers of people admitted to penitentiaries. One in all we have to dwelve into the mind of a criminal and find out what makes a felon tick. What forces an individual to commit crimes against others? Are we too humane and lenient? When looking for the reasons why people commit crimes I can only say what I believe to be sure of, and it is that individuals go against laws because they choose so, as criminal behaviour is a matter of choice. Today, there are many excuses cloaked as reasons for criminal behaviour. The misguided nature of these assertions has a serious impact upon crime control strategies. The classical approach ho...
Kõik maailma keeled pärinevad ühest 50 000 aasta eest IdaAafrikas räägitud keelest, mille kõnelejad lahkusid Aafrikast ja seadsid end sisse igal kontinendil, väidab lingvist Merritt Ruhlen, lisades, et ürgkeele jäljed on alles kõigis Maa keeltes. Tarkade Klubi: Mitokondri DNAd uurides saab ajas tagasi minna rohkem kui 100 000 aastat, Y kromosoomiga umbes 60 000 aastat. Keeltega pole nii palju vist võimalik? Merritt Ruhlen: Minu pakutav idee, mida olen kajastanud raamatus «The Origin of Language» («Keele päritolu») on see, et kõik praegu räägitavad maailma keeled ulatuvad tagasi ühe keeleni, mida kõneldi IdaAafrikas 50 000 aastat tagasi. Sel ajal tekkis täiesti tänapäevane inimkeel. 50 000 aastat tagasi toimus inimese evolutsioonis suur muutus: ilmus kunst, nad hakkasid valmistama palju viimistletumaid tööriistu, millest mõned on isegi kunstipärased. 200 000 aastat oli kasutatud pea muutumatul kujul ühetaolisi kivitööriistu, ja siis äkitselt, 50...
