A Farewell To Arms - Response
Number of words: 748 - Number of pages: 3.... essays while deciding which would be the topic for my class presentation that I know many people see that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "There isn't always an explanation for everything."

means there are no vaccines and there are no cures for these killers.
In 1976 Ebola climbed out of its primordial hiding place in the jungles
of Africa, and in two outbreaks in Zaire and Sudan wiped out six hundred people.
But the virus had never been seen outside of Africa and the consequences of

Number of words: 1249 - Number of pages: 5.... --Anthropology, Biology and Politics. In each section, Ballen compares developments in Britain and in the United States, for the case against racism developed quite differently in the two scientific communities. On both sides of the Atlantic, physical anthropology and racial taxonomy lost ground to the new social and cultural anthropology.
