I chose the film “A Beautiful Mind” produced in 2001. The main character is John Forbes Nash, Jr. portrayed by Russell Crowe. The heart, not the mind is where the true meaning of life is found.

I need to look through to

Book Arrangement: Race to the Polar Sea has an obscurely intricate design complete with three parts, individually asunder by roughly ten chapters. Including 38 chapters may seem substantial and futile, but after having read Ken McGoogan’s thrilling, but informative, narrative recounting all the miniscule yet meaningful details of Elisha Kent Kane’s life, the reader realizes all 361 pages are eminently imperative.

According to Marshall McLuhan, in his book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, “once a new technology comes in a social milieu it cannot cease

Advances in military technology have helped the course of history by changing our weapon use and design of weapons over the course of time. If we still had the same weapons as the 1800‘s I have a feeling our world wouldn‘t be the same way it is right now.
