    3D printing can print almost anything you want to a 3D version. Thomas Jefferson writes a letter to George Wythe that states “ Has there ever been one lost since the art of printing has rendered it practicable to multiply and disperse copies? This leads us then to the only means of preserving those remains of our laws now under consideration, that is, a multiplication of printed copies.” It’s important because without the multiplication of printed copies books would have not been in the same condition as they are now. They would been eaten by bookworms, not taken care of, and if there is a fire they could have been burned and had been lost forever. 3D printing is possible because the printing press had already been invented.. 3D printing can help since a spray can be made in the 3D printer to kill the bookworms.Francis Bacon states “ The Printing Press has changed the appearance and state of the whole world,” ( Bacon, March…

    Ancient China was located in the eastern part of Asia. As time went on, China expanded its borders to the north, south, and west. Today, China itself covers one-third of the continent of Asia. It is the third largest country in the world. China also has the world’s largest population. China shares borders with fourteen other countries. Major cities, which developed and grew along the Huang He, Chang Jiang, Wei and Luo rivers, served as political, financial, and economic centers of the dynasties. “The dynasty is a series of rulers in a particular kingdom or empire, and each ruler in the series is said to be a member of the same family”. In approximately 350 BCE, Xianyang became the capital of China. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, a new capital was established at the city of Chang’an near present day Xi’an.
