Niagara Falls Handbill Collection, 1838-1886, n.d. (non-inclusive)

According to legend, the Burning Springs were discovered by early natives in the Niagara Peninsula. Bridgewater Mills was built on the site of the spring. During the excavation of the factory; workmen uncovered the spring. Samuel Street and Thomas Clark recognized the potential of this as a tourist attraction so they built a wooden shelter over the spring. The spring was covered with a barrel with a pipe protruding from it. This became the first tourist attraction at Niagara. The Cave of the Winds was a cavern located behind the Bridal Veil Fall. It was originally named the Aeolus Cave. In 1920, a sudden rock fall from the ceiling killed 3 tourists. The cave was destroyed in 1955 as it was deemed dangerous. The captain of the Maid of the Mist was usually a farmer who owned the land where the ship docked. In 1846, the first steam powered Maid of the Mist was launched. By 1848, the first suspension bridge was built over the gorge and the main purpose of the Maid of the Mist was no longer to carry people who needed to travel, but now the focus was on people who wanted to view the Falls at close range.

Land Ownership, Working Capital, and the Agricultural Output: Egypt, 1913-1958.

A simple model is constructed in which short-term credit is needed to finance the purchase of inputs, in which there is bankruptcy risk, and in which we argue were important characteristics of Egyptian agriculture during the first half of this century, result in aggregate agricultural output being dependant on the distribution of land ownership. The main theorical insight is that aggregate agricultural output will be increased by a decrease in the inequality of the distribution of land ownership when returns to scale are decreasing. Testable short- and long-run empirical propositions are formulated and carefully tested on Egyptian data for the 1913-1958 period. We find that, controlling for factor inputs, there is no tradeoff between equity and efficiency for Egyptian agriculture - they go hand in hand in the short run.

Las academias de Pedro Poveda : una alternativa en la España de principios de siglo (1913-1921).

Poner de manifesto la labor educativa que se llevó a cabo en las academias de Santa Teresa de Jesús de Pedro Poveda. Contemplar las aportaciones originales a los planteamientos de formación integral como la cristalización de estos principios en los internados femeninos que son las academias. Análisis de los textos pedagógicos de Poveda, establecimiento de categorías de comprensión a partir del análisis de los textos; vaciado de los 'boletines' sobre el esqueleto de las categorías previstas para cada academia; análisis del perfil de cada academia que se deduce de esta recogida de datos; estudio comparativo entre las diferentes academias; diversas categorías; la teoría que pretenden y las realizaciones a las que llegan; síntesis y valoración global de la obra de las academias en sí mismas y en relación con los acontecimientos educativos de su momento. Escritos pedagógicos de Pedro Poveda y los 'boletínes' de las academias de Santa Teresa de Jesús, archivos municipales, periódicos y revistas de la época, fuentes documentales. Análisis comparativo. Los principios pedagógicos de Poveda y su cristalización en las academias le colocan en la posición de hombre adelantado a su tiempo y nos plantea cuestiones que aún hoy siguen vigentes: importancia social de la escuela que se abre al medio y establece relaciones con la comunidad educativa; el maestro como elemento clave dinamizador de las relaciones (procesos de interacción escuela-entorno); el clima educativo forma el ambiente ecológico que hace posible la comunicación, libertad y participación que debe darse en una tarea humanizadora. El hombre de pensamiento-acción que es Poveda en las coordenadas educativa-histórico-social que le toca vivir, le sitúa en un momento privilegiado para poder expresar, tanto a través de sus escritos como de su obra de las academias, su particular visión de la realidad.
