William Kirby was an English entomologist born in 1759 who studied insects. He received degrees from Harvard University and Cambridge University. Kirby discovered new species of beetles and wrote an encyclopedia and natural history book about insects. A friend introduced Kirby to Sir Joseph Banks, bringing him into the field of natural history. Kirby studied insects and impacted modern entomologists by finding new species for them to build upon.
Explorers
This document provides information about several famous explorers, including Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and Neil Armstrong. It discusses what each explorer accomplished, such as Columbus unintentionally discovering the Americas in 1492 while searching for a trade route to Asia, Magellan being the first to sail around the world, and Armstrong being the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. The document also instructs students to get in groups and conduct an interview with one of the explorers by coming up with 10 questions and responses.
Beyond Black History Month
Presentation for New Trier High School's Black History Month Celebration. This talk, which is based upon Kathryn Walbert's article, "Beyond Black History Month", is meant to start conversations about how our school can better address the contributions of all Americans beyond relegating some to a single month of the year.
Earth presentation
The document discusses the Flat Earth Theory and the Flat Earth Society. It describes how the Flat Earth Society was founded in 1956 by Samuel Shenton but lost members after Sputnik was launched in 1957. It regained popularity in the 1990s on the internet. It notes that 1 in 50 Americans currently believe or question that the earth is round. The document outlines some of the beliefs of flat earthers and provides evidence for why we know the earth is round, including scientific experiments and observations.
Robert W. Fogel
Robert Fogel won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1993 for developing a technique of running large amounts of numerical data through computers to draw conclusions. He applied this method in his book Time on the Cross, where he argued that slaves in the American South were treated better economically than free industrial workers in the North. However, historians criticized this idea because he overlooked the psychological impact of slavery. Currently, Fogel believes that liberals should stop complaining about economic inequality if poor people today have access to similar amenities as the rich.
John Kennedy
JFK dealt with important issues like civil rights, communism, and nuclear weapons as president. He visited Dallas on November 21, 1963 to increase his popularity in Texas for his 1964 election campaign. There were three possible locations for shooters - the Texas School Book Depository, the Grassy Knoll area, and a sewer on Elm Street. The most famous theory is that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was arrested for the shooting, acted alone from the Texas School Book Depository, though some believe there were multiple shooters.
My Leaders And Role Model’S Zach Lopez
Stephen Hawking was a renowned theoretical physicist and applied mathematician known for his contributions to general relativity and quantum gravity. Some of his many honors and awards included the Eddington Medal, Albert Einstein Medal, and Presidential Medal of Freedom. He warned of existential risks to humanity from threats like nuclear war or engineered pandemics and advocated for human space exploration. Al Capone was a notorious American gangster and crime boss during the Prohibition era in the 1920s who controlled organized crime in Chicago. Though infamous, he believed he was only supplying a demand and that fear was key to his criminal organization's power.
Z Halpern
The ancient goddess Tanit was a symbol of protection for ancient mariners. As Zena Halpern shows in this astounding presentation, it's a symbol that these ancient peoples took with them on early voyages to the New World, long before Columbus.

Georgia's Granite Guidestones
WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY?
Near Elberton, Georgia, the self-described "Granite Capital of the World," stands a weird arrangement of granite that has to be seen to be believed. Five giant stone slabs-four tablets and a central "gnomon stone," each nineteen feet high-support a huge capstone. The tablets are inscribed front and back in English, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Spanish, and Swahili. In each language, they present a sort of New Age Ten Commandments. Or maybe it's a graven image that gravely insults religion. Perhaps it's an enduring reflection of the ideals of Thomas Paine. Then again, it may be an effort by the Rosicrucians, or perhaps the successful dissemination of Satan's Ten Commandments, or maybe just an elaborate ad for Elberton's granite industry. On the four sides of the capstone, in four "dead" languages (archaic Sanskrit, Babylonian cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and classical Greek) is inscribed "Let These Be Guidestones to an Age of Reason."
What in the name of reason is this all about?
In 1979, so the mysterious story goes, a guy calling himself only Mr. R. C. Christian wandered into an Elberton bank and ordered up on behalf of an anonymous group "a monument to conservation"-a complicated granite construction now known as the Georgia Guidestones, or America's answer to Stonehenge. The mystery remains as to who Mr. Christian really is or was-not Ted Turner, not Satan himself (probably), not the head of Elberton's Chamber of Commerce (well, probably not)-not even Georgia's current governor, Sonny Perdue.
The Guidestones attract all sorts of visitors-Wiccans, Druids, dowsers, UFO buffs, New Agers of all stripes, tourists, and even astrology and astronomy buffs. Professional astronomers like John Burgess of North Carolina (retired from Georgia's Fernbank Observatory) are impressed with the ...
13 BLACK COLONIES
This document summarizes the key points made in a book about the original founders of the 13 British colonies being five black kings from Europe. It provides images and descriptions of skulls and portraits of historical Scottish and English kings like Robert the Bruce, King James VI of Scotland, and Charles I of Scotland that the author claims show their subjects were black. The document argues this evidence supports the idea that ancient Europeans, including the founders of the colonies, retained dark skin for longer than traditionally believed.
Important events that happened in the 60’s
The document summarizes important events from the 1960s:
- The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the most powerful ever recorded at a 9.5 magnitude. It caused over 5,700 deaths and hundreds of millions in damage.
- Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho shocked audiences with its graphic violence and became a classic of horror cinema.
- Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey into outer space when his 1961 Vostok mission completed an orbit of Earth.
- Construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 divided East and West Berlin until 1989.
- Marilyn Monroe's death in 1962 at age 36 was ruled a probable suicide but remains the subject of conspiracy theories.

American Modernism
This document provides an overview of American modernism between 1910-1945. It discusses how modernism in literature emerged in response to industrialization and the rise of big business in the late 19th/early 20th century. Major modernist authors like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound rejected cultural traditions and sought new influences. The 1913 Armory Show in New York introduced Americans to modern art like Picasso and Kandinsky. Modernist works were fragmented and difficult to access initially. World War I furthered the disillusionment of the modern era through new technologies of destruction.
America Ingles
Historians and mapmakers are debating the authenticity of a 1418 map found in Shanghai that appears to show America, predating Columbus' arrival by over 70 years. A British historian attributes the map to Chinese admiral Zhu Di's massive 15th century fleet. Researchers are testing the map's age. While Chinese scholars are skeptical, the map seems to support the idea that the Chinese reached the Americas before Columbus.

CannibalHonorThesisEdit
This honors thesis examines how early European explorers' tales of cannibalism among indigenous peoples in the Americas helped justify colonial exploitation. The document discusses Christopher Columbus' 1492 account of encountering "dog-faced cannibals" in Cuba, noting similarities to depictions of Africans and anti-Semitic propaganda in Europe. It argues Columbus fabricated this story using familiar tropes to portray natives as monstrous threats. By dehumanizing indigenous peoples, colonizers felt justified seizing their lands and resources for profit and religion. The thesis examines how Columbus emphasized potential wealth from the Americas to maintain Spanish crown support after failing to find gold on his first voyage.

American Modernism
This document provides an overview of American modernism between 1910-1945. It discusses how modernism in literature emerged in response to industrialization and the rise of big business in the late 19th/early 20th century. Major modernist authors like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound rejected cultural traditions and sought new influences. The 1913 Armory Show in New York introduced Americans to modern art like Picasso and Kandinsky. Modernist works were fragmented and difficult to access initially. World War I furthered the disillusionment of the modern era through new technologies of destruction.
America Ingles
Historians and mapmakers are debating the authenticity of a 1418 map found in Shanghai that appears to show America, predating Columbus' arrival by over 70 years. A British historian attributes the map to Chinese admiral Zhu Di's massive 15th century fleet. Researchers are testing the map's age. While Chinese scholars are skeptical, the map seems to support the idea that the Chinese reached the Americas before Columbus.

CannibalHonorThesisEdit
This honors thesis examines how early European explorers' tales of cannibalism among indigenous peoples in the Americas helped justify colonial exploitation. The document discusses Christopher Columbus' 1492 account of encountering "dog-faced cannibals" in Cuba, noting similarities to depictions of Africans and anti-Semitic propaganda in Europe. It argues Columbus fabricated this story using familiar tropes to portray natives as monstrous threats. By dehumanizing indigenous peoples, colonizers felt justified seizing their lands and resources for profit and religion. The thesis examines how Columbus emphasized potential wealth from the Americas to maintain Spanish crown support after failing to find gold on his first voyage.

Da Silva F
The navigator we call Columbus never used such a name in his life. On his sigla, on letters and documents written in his hand, he always used a different form, which Dr. da Silva will prove is in fact from Portugal. This fascinating and thorough presentation lays the groundwork for future presentations in which Dr. da Silva will prove that the Portuguese were early explorers to North America and that this is one way Columbus knew where he was going in 1492.
