As the photograph at left demonstrates, there is incredible beauty in this world. Yet the camera is positioned on the patio of what was once Adolf Hitler's tea house atop a mountain above Berchtesgaden, Germany. The area below this peak was a getaway destination for many of the highest-ranking Nazi officials. They could unwind from the pressures of their positions and take in natures bounty. History is not the study of landforms or wildlife. It is the study of the actions and resulting events of humanity. While the natural world unquestionably impacts the decisions and actions of man, it is the response that we study. Natural history is another discipline, more akin to science. Human history resides in the discipline known as the humanities. Welcome to the study of humanity.
