Large scale farming and ranching operations that employ vast land bases, large mechanized equipment, factory-type labor forces, and the latest technology. Few people or areas still have pure subsistence economies. Modifications to subsistence agricultural systems have led to farmers in those systems not only producing for themselves but primarily for a market off the farm itself.

Many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus’ ships landed in the Bahamas, a different group of people discovered America: the nomadic ancestors of modern Native Americans who hiked over a “land bridge” from Asia to what is now Alaska more than 12,000 years ago. In fact, by the time European adventurers arrived in the 15th century A.D., scholars estimate that more than 50 million people were already living in the Americas. Of these, some 10 million lived in the area that would become the United States. As time passed, these migrants and their descendants pushed south and east, adapting as they went. In order to keep track of these diverse groups, anthropologists and geographers have divided them into “culture areas,” or rough groupings of contiguous peoples who shared similar habitats and characteristics. Most scholars break North America—excluding present-day Mexico—into 10 separate culture areas: the Arctic, the Subarctic, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Plains, the Southwest, the Great Basin, California, the Northwest Coast and the Plateau.

Solomon, was a wise king, son of David and Bathsheba, widow of Uriah. Solomon inherits his father's kingdom. Endowed with the wisdom that God gave him, that is to say "a listening heart", however, the Bible says that he had 700 women and 300 concubines, most of them from other nations. They brought their own religion, their idolatrous cults and made Solomon's heart begin to move away from God, as did Saul.</span>
