Few Americans know the real history behind the First Amendment and even fewer understand how the Supreme Court has interpreted the establishment and freedom of religion clauses.

These warring factions variously label our Founding Fathers as Christians, Deists or Atheists, ascribe different meanings to the Declaration of Independence's words, "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," and argue the meaning of early federal actions...

Jacobs, and Joseph Greenleaf The southeastern United States is home to the richest, most diverse freshwater mussel faunas on the planet, and Mississippi is no exception in this regard. Until fairly recent times, however, only qualitative lists of taxa were available and/or sampling was unsystematic and spotty. More recent work has taken place in waterways that have been significantly impacted by erosion, other forms of water pollution, and impoundment in modern times. Thus, even the best modern studies could benefit from a better... Edited by Evan Peacock, Cliff Jenkins, Paul F.

European Approaches to North America, 1450a 1640 by David Quinn provides a series of insights into the early cartography and exploration of the North Atlantic and North America, and what was believed and written about this by Europeans.
