If there is a building which symbolizes a country, such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia,
then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they
wouldn’t be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work.
But she died in 1631 during her childbirth. The emperor was heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from
central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill and in 1658 his son, Aurangzeb, imprisoned his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in
prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife, who he could never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in
different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the color of the Taj Mahal changes from
white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.

When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of tremendous value. Forests covered
a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very
fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could
never be used up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grass lands and prairies were plowed and harrowed.

Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every river became the scene of
factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage yearly. The very fertile soil
was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers
were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of
birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans
soon became to realize that some sort of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share
in the resources that are the heritage of every American.
