- 71: Substance Abuse and Musicians
- Substance Abuse and Musicians There are many famed musicians that have experienced a harsh downfall because of substance abuse. I have decided to take a look into the lives of various rock stars to see what effect these drugs have on their lives -- the consequences and even fatalities. The question I ask is why do rock musicians experiment with drugs and what effect does it have on their lives? The disciplinary concern contained in this topic is history. I explore the lives of musicians that have experimented with drugs and have faced the consequences. The possible focus topics include: consequences of substance abuse in the lives of rock stars. Fatal consequences due to drug abuse of rock stars, and Heroin: the most commonly abused controlled substance by rock stars. Or, I can focus on one particular rock star: the events in the ...
- 72: Nuke Waste
- ... is being used today to get rid of radioactive waste is the 'placement and self processing radioactive wastes in deep underground cavities'. This is the disposing of toxic wastes by incorporating them into molten silicate rock, with low permeability. By this method, liquid wastes are injected into a deep underground cavity with mineral treatment and allowed to self-boil. The resulting steam is processed at ground level and recycled in a closed system. When waste addition is terminated, the chimney is allowed to boil dry. The heat generated by the radioactive wastes then melts the surrounding rock, thus dissolving the wastes. When waste and water addition stop, the cavity temperature would rise to the melting point of the rock. As the molten rock mass increases in size, so does the surface area. This results in a higher rate of conductive heat loss to the surrounding rock. Concurrently the heat production rate of radioactivity ...

Since the sixties, rock has undergone several blues revivals.

Each roman numeral indicates a chord built on a specific tone in the major scale. Due to the influence of rock and roll, the tenth chord has been changed to IV.

- 80: Architecture in India
- ... time, namely Mount Rushmore. It is here that workers painstakingly chiseled the faces of three presidents into the granite mountainside in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Although brilliant and awe inspiring, this type of rock carving was not new. In fact, this kind of architecture can be found on the Indian sub-continent dating back to the 4th century BC.. Originally, Indian artists began carving trees (wood) with religious themes, all of which are now entirely lost. Around the 3rd century BC, they began to carve into the walls of caves creating rock-cut shrines and sanctuaries that eventually evolved into large and complex temples and monasteries. Thousands of these temples were carved and built along the Indus Valley, the most ancient of brick and mortar and still ... Within these caves were found sculptures and pictographs similar to objects found in Mesopotamia that make historians believe that there was some kind of interrelationship of these two cultures. The carvings of the caves and rock however, appear to be synonymous with ancient India alone. The reason why this type of architecture began in India is believed to be a result of the religion, beliefs and culture of India during ...
