I want to thank everyone that supports this blog. It has been an amazing year couple years since I started this endeavor, and I continually receive positive feedback about this site and the models that it showcases. I have not updated for a while because I have focused my attention on other important projects like my family and work life.Multimedia: Mayflower

Never-Seen: Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Photo Gallery - LIFE
On the one-year anniversary of Liz Taylor's death, LIFE.com presents previously unpublished photographs of Taylor and her co-star (and soul mate) Montgomery Clift, from the set of the 1951 classic, A Place in the Sun .This book presents a decidedly bottom-up perspective on American history, and it'll make you question the motivations and hidden messages behind everything you learned in school.

An irreverent, surprising, and fresh approach to teaching social history to secondary schoolers, American Dynasties is an immersive digital video game where players live the lives of Americans from eras past. Imagine a learning experience where students are thrust into the everyday hustle and bustle of a century or to ago. Where they find themselves enslaved in an antebellum town, or caught up in a strike in a Massachusetts textile mill, or riding the rails in the Depression.
