method and in relation to environment. The typical morphological or physical features of the area with sodic soils were study in the field. The vertical section from the surface were dig up to the parent material and designate them into different horizon on the basis of soils color, texture, structure etc. Sodic soils develop a dense prismatic or columnar structure below the

An Analysis of Hilton's Lost Horizon      "...the horizon lifted like a curtain; time expanded and space contracted" In James Hilton's Lost Horizon, the reader is promptly enticed to trek along with Hugh Conway and the three other kidnapped passengers, Charles Mallinson, Miss Brinklow, and Henry Barnard.

James Hilton wrote Lost Horizon in 1933, and it was an immediate success, selling millions of copies, influencing President Roosevelt to name what's now Camp David Shangri-La, and Frank Capra, a hot director after an Oscar sweep with It Happened One Night in 1934, made a movie of Lost Horizon in 1937. The book also makes a big impression at first reading, especially for younger readers (which is when I first read it, many years ago now), who are captivated by the atmosphere of mystery and mysticism

Space is one of the biggest mysteries humans have ever had the chance to explore. It is massive, dark, and difficult to get too. Seriously fighting gravity is not an easy task. For millions of years, we have wondered what exactly is surrounding the Earth. Galileo and astronomers like him provided us with information about our surroundings, but could not get us to them. Fast forward to 1969 and we have come the farthest from Earth we have ever been, at the time. We reached the moon! Although the moon

Research Paper– A Trip to Pluto Synopsis: New Horizons is the first probe to get within 8000 miles of Pluto. We currently think our best shot at finding extraterrestrial life is Mars or Europa, but if New Horizon were to send us signs of life from Pluto, it would drastically change goals for the future of space exploration. A manned mission to Pluto might go from a distant dream to a top priority, but the challenges of such a journey are immense. The spacecraft must be able to travel to the outer

The New Horizons mission was a groundbreaking feat for space exploration. From the building of the New Horizons spacecraft to the Pluto flyby, it has made many advancements not only in astronomy, but also engineering and physics. New Horizons was truly a spacecraft like no other, as well as the most technologically advanced spacecraft to this date. In 1905, American astronomer Percival Lowell first detected clues of Pluto’s existence from unusual deviations he found in the orbits of Neptune

sought to create, find, or at least image a paradise on earth, a place where there is peace, harmony, and a surcease from the pain that plagues our lives. On the eve of World War II, James Hilton imagined such a place in his best-selling novel, Lost Horizon. The story itself begins when an evacuation of Westerners is ordered in the midst of revolution in Baksul, India. A plane containing four passengers is hi-jacked and flown far away into the Keun-Lun Mountains of Tibet. The plane crashes and the passengers

July, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto, the last unvisited world of the classical solar system. As the largest known member of the Kuiper belt, Pluto is also the gateway to a new frontier, a scarcely studied collection of primordial icy bodies far from the sun that constitutes the “third zone” of the solar system after the realms of the inner rocky planets and the outer gas giants. Like most first glimpses of new frontiers, Pluto held so many surprises for New Horizons that the past eight
