Tocqueville's impression of American attitudes toward the relation of government and religion was formed on his tour of the United States in the early 1830s during the high tide of evangelicalism:
The room begins to heat up as the summer sun beats down on the glass. There are a few things you can do about it in a relatively short time. 1  An awning or outdoor window shade will stop most of the sun's heat before it comes to your window. 2  Install shades or shutters on the offending windows for more comfort when needed.
One way that heat can escape from your house is by conduction through the walls, ceilings, and windows. Most walls and ceilings contain material to stop this heat conduction called insulation. There are many types of insulation, depending on the location in the house and the degree of insulation that is desired.
