02 | After likening parts of the U.S. to parts of the world in terms of climate, Dr. Paul Siple asserts that "[v]irtually every community has a unique
climate different in at least one important respect from every other.
Know your climate, really know it, and you can make your house an effective controlling agent."

"The colossal industrial machinery of the nation consumed cast quantities of energy
and raw materials. By 1950 per capita consumption of energy had risen to the equivalent
of nearly 10 tons of coal per person per year. Iron ore was being removed from the ground
at the rate of nearly 1 ton per person per year. Consumption of other materials such as
copper, lead, sulfur, and phosphates had risen to levels that would have seemed fantastic
50 years previously."

08 | The concerns of the United States' massive consumption and role as a model
for other nations which have been part of our own discourse as of late were highlighted
by Brown in the early 1950s. Harrison Brown indicated that people in other nations saw America's
material abundance and strove for similar lifestyles. His Cold War periodization is apparent
in a discussion of the spread of industrialization to Japan and the Soviet Union.
