Mayans. The Natural Recovery Plan. Causes of the Civil War. The issues that caused the Civil War had been brewing since the United States was formed. The most important causes Southerners listed for the war were unfair taxation, states' rights, and the slavery issue. Here are some primary sources that show how heated these issues had become by the late 1850s.
Unfair Taxation The history and economy of the North were very different from those of the South. Laws unfavorable to the South were passed. Southerners felt that the Federal government was passing laws, such as import taxes, that treated them unfairly.

Inventing the Skyline - The Architecture of Cass Gilbert.
Published by Columbia University Press, Inventing the Skyline: The Architecture of Cass Gilbert is a hefty, picture-packed hardback edited by Margaret Heilbrun, library director for the New-York Historical Society. Who Was Cass Gilbert? Cass Gilbert was a craftsman and a visionary who combined historic forms with modern technologies. Gilbert's fanciful Gothic skyscraper, the Woolworth Building, was briefly the tallest structure in the world. His classically-inspired Minnesota State Capitol introduced new methods in dome construction. In the 1950s, ornamental designs based on historic models fell out of fashion. With the rise of modernism, architects aspired to create simple, "pure" forms such as the Seagram Building by Mies van der Rohe. Beyond Biography Inventing the Skyline is not an intimate biography. How Cass Gilbert Designed Essays by four scholars analyze Gilbert's major projects, his sketches and watercolors and his contributions as a city planner.

Reminiscences and Reflections on Collecting Raymond Horowitz These remarks, slightly revised and edited, are taken from a talk delivered at the conference "Expanding Horizons: American Painting 1865 - 1930," held at New York University on 25 April 1996. page 1 of 5 A collector, when talking about his or her collection, runs the risk of appearing either immodest or falsely modest, as well as of repeating the usual tiresome clichés about art collecting.
Yet by looking back and reconstructing the story of our collection, some light may be cast on the development of interest in turn-of-the-century American painting. Since our college days, both Margaret and I have had a lively interest in painting and the history of art. As an undergraduate at Columbia College, I attended courses in art history given by the late Meyer Shapiro, and after graduation I attended classes by him at the New School for Social Research in New York. We did not set out in any deliberate way to assemble a collection. Cass Gilbert. Cass Gilbert moved to New York in 1899 after a successful career in St. Paul, Minnesota, that included the design of the Minnesota State Capital.
His earliest building in New York was the Broadway-Chambers Building (1899–1900), a skyscraper with significant polychromatic terra-cotta, which still stands on the corner of Broadway and Chambers Street. Gilbert designed several other major skyscrapers, including two major buildings clad in Gothic-inspired terra-cotta, the West Street Building (1905–07; seriously damaged by the collapse of the World Trade Center towers) and the Woolworth Building (1910–13). For many years, the Woolworth was the world's tallest building and remains one of the most prominent features on the city's skyline. Gilbert also designed one of the city's great Beaux-Arts public buildings, the U.S. Custom House at Bowling Green (1899–1907) with its ornate sculptural exterior. Both the Custom House and the Woolworth Building retain their sumptuous interiors.
(b. Cass Gilbert Buildings. The Endicott Building143 East Fourth, Saint Paul The Endicott family of Boston owned a chain of drygoods stores. They needed to build a new store in Saint Paul, and they wanted a signature building to be built at a high profile location. It is amazing that young Cass Gilbert received this commission despite no previous experience building this kind of building. His link to the project was his mother, and her knowing Luther Cushing, manager of the Boston and Northwest Real Estate Company.
The Endicott Building sits on an L-shaped lot. It wraps around the 12 story Pioneer Building, and it shows frontage on two major Saint Paul streets. By all accounts, Cass Gilbert hit a home run with the Endicott Building. Victorian Architecture. Oh, those amazing Victorian builders! Born during the Industrial Revolution, they embraced new materials and technologies to create houses like no one had ever seen before. Mass-production and mass-transit made ornamental parts affordable. Victorian architects and builders applied decoration liberally, combining features borrowed from many different eras with flourishes from their own imaginations. When you look at a house built during the Victorian era, you might see Greek Revival pediments, Federalist Style balustrades, and other Colonial Revival details.
You may also see medieval ideas such as Gothic windows and exposed trusses. And, of course, you'll find lots of brackets, spindles, scrollwork and other machine-made building parts. So it happens that there's not just one Victorian style, but many, each with its own unique array of features. 1.

Classical Orders of Architecture. Of the three columns found in Greece, Doric columns are the simplest. They have a capital (the top, or crown) made of a circle topped by a square. The shaft (the tall part of the column) is plain and has 20 sides. There is no base in the Doric order. The Doric order is very plain, but powerful-looking in its design.
Doric, like most Greek styles, works well horizontally on buildings, that's why it was so good with the long rectangular buildings made by the Greeks. There are many examples of ancient Doric buildings. The Parthenon The Hephaisteion, in Athens, is another good example of the Doric order. This building is the Carnegie Library on the the campus of Johnson C. 17th Century American Architure - 2. History of architecture.

Salary Potential. Erik Erikson Stages of Development. What are the most important stages in a person's life? It all depends. Using Erik Erikson stages of development as a model for the stages of thinking and learning for children, you will notice in each stage there are opportunities for positive ego development as well as deficits in one's character, not only before a child reaches his 20's, but throughout life. The Erikson stages of development discussed below are combined with another approach to development in Affirmations Your Children Need . It is human to have a long childhood; it is civilized to have an even longer childhood. Long childhood makes a technical and mental virtuoso out of man, but it also leaves a life-long residue of emotional immaturity in him. — Erik Homburger Erikson (1902-1994) Our personality traits come in opposites.
The man who did a great deal to explore this concept is Erik Erikson. He organized life into eight stages that extend from birth to death (many developmental theories only cover childhood). 1. 2. 3. Psychology History. Compiled by Charles Cowgil (May1997) Biography Theory Time Line Bibliography .......................................Jung's Handprint Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of the school of analytical psychology. He proposed and developed the concepts of the extroverted and introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious.
Jung was born on July 26, 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland, the only son of a Protestant clergyman. After leaving Basel, Jung became an assistant physician at Burgholzli Psychiatric clinic under Eugen Bleuler. After a break with the start of WWI, Jung wrote the book "Psychological Types". Theory of Symbols Jung believed that symbol creation was a key in understanding human nature. Time Line of Jung's Life Bibliography Atwood, G. 1993. [History Home Page] [Psychology Department Home Page] Carl Jung. "The fact that artistic, scientific, and religious propensities still slumber peacefully together in the small child, or that with primitives the beginnings of art, science, and religion coalesce in the undifferentiated chaos of the magical mentality, or that no trace of 'mind' can be found in the natural instincts of animals - all this does nothing to prove the existence of a unifying principle which alone would justify a reduction of the one to the other.
For if we go so far back into the history of the mind that the distinctions between its various fields of activity become altogether invisible, we do not reach an underlying principle of their unity, but merely an earlier, undifferentiated state in which no separate activities yet exist. But the elementary state is not an explanatory principle that would allow us to draw conclusions as to the nature of the later, more highly developed states, even though they must necessarily derive from it.
