and minerals on the earth's crust. Because aluminum is not very strong and
is highly reactivate with Oxygen, water, acids, and bases it is compounded
with other metals and elements to from alloys for common uses. In Society
Aluminum Alloys are used in many ways because of it's light weight and
versatility. As more and more ways are discovered to strengthened Aluminum

about planetary motion. The three most popular instruments which
used were quadrant, armilla, and triquetrum. All furnish some measure of the

calculations to come up with the Copernicus' theory. He had to find out how
fast the Earth spins around the Sun, and how far the Sun is. He also had to
calculate the length of the orbit of the Earth. People use math in every walk
of life. In our days everything is related to math, and Copernicus used his
knowledge of mathematics to provide the human kind with an important discovery.

The biologic basis of Clinical Depression originates in the brain. Your brain is made up of a complex network of nerve cells, called neurons and of brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters transmit messages from one neuron to another. Two of these neurotransmitters are not produced in sufficient quantities in a depressed person’s brain. Because of this lack, too few messages get transmitted between neurons and the symptoms of depression occur. In Clinical depression the chemicals in the brain are out-of-balance. New technology allows researchers to take pictures of the brain that show activity levels in the brain. These imaging tech ....

In his first paragraph, Nash writes of a world where humans can be cured of diseases that are currently life threatening. Where cells can be "cultivated in lab dishes" to help preserve human life. In the following paragraphs, he goes on to write about the "hasty legislation" that could possibly have negative long-term effects on the future of because of the bad wording going into some of the laws. Many are afraid that the rich and famous might take advantage of the opportunity to generate copies of themselves. Nash points out that even though the possibility is there, the people who could grow full human clones "aren't go ....
