Roosevelt and the Democrats in 1932. The Hoover policy of raising tariffs of goods entering the US was created to please American farmers, but it boomeranged against the US when many governments imposed retaliatory tariff policies against its exports.

As businesses went bankrupt and many found themselves unemployed, the landslide victory of Roosevelt and the Democrats was, thus, a ...

"Bartleby the Scrivener" and Germinal - The Virtue of Refusing Labor The relationship of man to his labor is tied inextricably to his relationship with society; the way in which he handles the responsibilities given to him is often a reflection of how he reacts to the world around him. When man chooses to stop his work, it is often in resistance to a particular set of circumstances or events: for example, the way labor is rewarded in a society. If it is insufficient, either monetarily or metaphysically, one may simply decide to stop working. This relationship is often explored in ...

1) In Germinal, the character of Catherine is a miner in the mining town of Montsou, and acts primarily as the prospective love interest for Etienne Lantier.

Waste biomass is usually in the form of manure, agricultural residues, municipal sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and industrial bio-sludge which can be converted to animal feeds, alcohol fuels or industrial chemicals.
