"The earliest known roots of the scientific method trace as far back as Imhotep (c. 2600 BC), who is credited as the orginal author of the Edwin Smith papyrus; though this work is believed to be based on earlier material as early as circa 3000 BC. The methods entailed in the Edwin Smith papyrus (circa 1600 BC), an ancient surgical textbook, reflect the basic components of the scientific method: examination, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis."\n\n"Aristotle provided yet another of the ingredients of scientific tradition: empiricism. ... In Aristotelian science, we find the beginnings of a primitive inductive method, although one that is based on collections of objects rather than experimentation."\n\n"In his enunciation of a 'method' in the 13th century Roger Bacon, under the tuition of Robert Grosseteste, was inspired by the writings of Arab alchemists who had preserved and built upon Aristotle's portrait of induction. Bacon described a repeating cycle of observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and the need for independent verification. In the 17th century, Francis Bacon attempted to describe a rational procedure for establishing causation between phenomena."

okay, trust me, if you're too lazy to write a paragraph, then AP european history is not for you. and it shouldn't be a hard thing to do. just BS your way through it. "i feel like i could learn a lot, regular classes don't challenge me enough, i'm really interested in the renaissance, blah, blah, blah." no one's will actually be sincere. if you care enough about school to want to be in the class, i'm sure you can do it.

Time to reread the chapters in your text that cover this item.  You may have to get in touch with the Greek community to get specifics but I guess from the question that you are in Canada and will recognize the differences once you know about Greece.\n\nI apologize if it's the other way around.

Two Economists Look at Europe's Economic Slowdown\nEconomic growth and labor productivity have been slowing in Europe as workers take more leisure time. Two experts look at why.\n\nBy Leslie Evans\n\n\n\nFor thirty years Western Europe has consistently turned out a Gross Domestic Product 70% that of the United States. Why hasn't Europe caught up? And curiously, European hourly productivity is much higher than GDP figures would imply, at 90% or better of that of American workers. Why the gap, and why did labor productivity, Europe's best indicator, begin to slide after 1995? Two economists, one from Europe and one from the United States, probed the persistent thirty-year differences between living and earning patterns in Western Europe and the United States at a November 4 UCLA forum.\n\nGianni Toniolo of the University of Rome, who holds a joint appointment at Duke University, was joined by Barry Eichengreen of the University of California at Berkeley in the History Conference Room of UCLA's Bunche Hall for a discussion on "Europe in the Age of Globalization." The meeting was sponsored by the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies and chaired by the center's director, historian Ivan Berend. Both speakers compared the United States to the EU-15, the original 15 Western European members of the European Union before the accession of 10 East and Central European states to the EU last May.\n\nGianni Toniolo: Europeans Place a Higher Value on Leisure\nGianni Toniolo began by lamenting the growing rift between America under the Bush presidency and the European Union. "The Atlantic has never been as wide as it is now, at least in my lifetime, which is postwar. And I am deeply concerned about that. I am deeply concerned about the cultural, political misunderstandings, the lack of understanding that seems to appear on the two sides of the Atlantic."\n\nA History of Economic Convergence -- Followed by Economic Divergences\nBack in 1820, Toniolo said, Western Europe and the United States had about the same per capita GDP. "By 1870 the Americans were ahead of Europe and the gap in GDP per capita continued to grow all the way until 1950." In 1870 Europe produced 82% of the U.S. per capita GDP. After the ravages of two world wars this fell to only 50% in 1950. But in the rebuilding and modernization of European industrial plant from the 1950s onward Europe took large strides toward closing the gap. By 1970 Western European per capita GDP reached 70% of the U.S. and has pretty much frozen there.\n\nBut this did not mean that European industry was as far behind as those numbers suggested, both economists agreed. Productivity, or output per hour worked, has come much closer to U.S. rates. Barry Eichengreen in his presentation reported that the EU-15 average GDP per hour worked in 2000 was 90.7% of the United States and four of the fifteen, Belgium, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, have higher labor productivity than the U.S.\n\nGianni Toniolo summarized some of the institutional arguments used by various economists to explain why the U.S. has remained ahead. These include a history of cheap land but expensive labor, which encouraged investment in labor-saving machinery; a more technically oriented educational system; and the unified American market compared to the multiple smaller states of Europe. Most of these U.S. advantages were strongly reduced after World War II, by the end of the American frontier, moves toward European economic unification, and common advances in technology.\n\nEuropeans Begin to Work Fewer Hours\n"The story, however, becomes interesting when we look at why, in spite of being so productive or equally productive as America we poor Europeans are 30% poorer that you Americans," he said. "And the answer is very simple. From the mid-seventies onward Europeans began to work fewer and fewer hours over the life cycle. There was less participation in the

I definitely do.  European history is so profound in comparison to the 200+ years the US has been in existence.  therefore the European cultures have deep roots.  I especially adore the rich history of the Mediterranian and am proud that I share the bloodlines of those civilizations.

I am from China...I can read your message because we also have internet access(I wonder how you think of Chinese,uncivilized?)\n\nEuropeans used to be weak ethnic groups. Unfortunately, hundreds years ago,europea became very strong because of social and scientific revolution.And China only stayed here. The result is the invasion from European countries.\nAnd now,Europeans are  comparatively rich and stable than most other countries. Some of them are ignorant,arrogant and racial.Some appear to be friendly. \nUnlike the north America,the cultures in europea are highly diverse.  We can't generalize something to all Europeans. Europeans people seem to cherish their own culture.

Thousands, possibly tens of thousands or more. One I'd suggest is the Mythologica. It has Roman and Greek and loooots of others but I haven't found another that I like as much. It seems to be the most thorough as well, though I've only ever had small town libraries to search through.

Well, Greece is becomingf a country with most sites from classical time (~25 centuries ago). The museums are not that well organized, but the findings there are the best, dating thousands of years ago!

Scientific journal Nature did a study on this recently and found that Britannica had an average of 3 errors per article, whereas Wikipedia had an average of 4. This indicates that Britanica is likely to be a more reliable resource.\n\nThis was based solely on scientific entries however and may not reflect the accuracy of other parts of either encyclopaedia.

Here you go ... much more info at the links.....\n\nAncient Greece is considered by historians to be the foundation for all cultures of Western Civilization.\n\nPtolemy was the author of several scientific treatises, three of which would be of continuing importance to later Islamic and European science.\n\nCopernicus was one of the great polymaths of the Renaissance. He was a mathematician, astronomer, jurist, physician, classical scholar, governor, administrator, diplomat, economist and soldier. \n\nGalileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer, and philosopher who is closely associated with the scientific revolution.  His achievements include improvements to the telescope, a variety of astronomical observations, and effective support for Copernicanism. \n\nJohannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630), a key figure in the scientific revolution, was a German mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and an early writer of science fiction stories.  He is best known for his laws of planetary motion, based on his works Astronomia nova, Harmonice Mundi and the textbook Epitome of Copernican Astronomy.\n\nSir Isaac Newton, (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher, regarded by many as the greatest figure in the history of science.\n\nEdwin Hubble was an American astronomer (1889-1953), who discovered that the further away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away, which led to the conclusion that the universe is expanding.\n\nAlbert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist widely known as one of the greatest physicists of all time.  He formulated the special and general theories of relativity.

Turkey is more developed than Greece. There are many ways to look at this but here is one: Turkey's share in total world scientific articles is higher than Greece and growing faster.
