A brief history of Oxford city
Oxford was founded in the 9th century when Alfred the Great created a network of fortified towns called burghs across his kingdom. One of them was Oxford. Oxford is first mentioned in 911 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. According to legend, Oxford University was founded in 872 when Alfred the Great happened to meet some monks there and had a scholarly debate that lasted several days. In reality, it grew up in the 12th century when famous teachers began to lecture there and groups of students came to live and study in the town. But Oxford was a fortress as well as a town. In the event of war with the Danes all the men from the area were to gather inside the burgh. However this strategy was not entirely successful. In 1009 the Danes burned Oxford. However Oxford was soon rebuilt. In 1013 the Danish king claimed the throne of England. He invaded England and went to Oxford. In 1018 a conference was held in Oxford to decide who would be the king of England. By the time of the Norman Conquest, there were said to be about 1,000 houses in Oxford, which meant it probably had a population of around 5,000. By the standards of the time, it was a large and important town (even London only had about 18,000 inhabitants). Oxford was the 6th largest town in England. Oxford probably reached its zenith at that time. About 1072 the Normans built a castle at Oxford. In the 12th and 13th centuries Oxford was a manufacturing town. It was
noted for cloth and leather. But in the 14th and 15th centuries manufacturing declined. Oxford came to depend on the students. It became a town of brewers, butchers, bakers, tailors, shoemakers, coopers, carpenters and blacksmiths. In the later Middle Ages Oxford declined in importance. In the 16th century Oxford declined further in terms of national importance, though it remained a fairly large town by the standards of the time. Oxford was economically dependent on the university. The students provided a large market for beer, food, clothes and other goods. From 1819 Oxford had gas street lighting. In the late 19th century a marmalade making industry began in Oxford. There was also a publishing industry and an iron foundry. Oxford gained its first cinema in 1910. The fate of Oxford was changed in 1913 when a man named Morris began making cars in the city. In 1919 a radiator making company was formed. By the 1930s Oxford was an important manufacturing centre. It was also a prosperous city. Furthermore it escaped serious damage during World War II. Oxford airport opened in 1938.Today the main industries are still car manufacturing and making vehicle parts and publishing. Today the population of Oxford is 121,000.

Noisy places
It is no news that cities are noisy places. The fact has been commented on since the Towers of Babel were first constructed. But in the technologically advanced sections of the world, noise pollution has reached new dimensions. In a quiet environment the sound level will be about 50 decibels or less, at 80 decibels the sound level becomes annoying. Nevertheless in the cities, people are commonly exposed to levels of 110 decibels or more - that of nearby riveting machines, jet takeoff at the airport, or those mind deadening institutions known as discotheques.
Steady exposure to sound at levels of 90 decibels or more is believed to cause loss of hearing. Other effects of noise on man are only being now pinpointed, but they include direct physiological as well as psychological effects. There appear to be individual differences in tolerance to noise and wide differences in tolerance to different kinds of noise high frequency whines are more difficult to withstand than dull roars, sudden and unexpected. Environment includes all the conditions and influences surrounding and affecting the life of an individual or population. The interrelationships of living organisms to one another and their environment have been studied for many years by ecologists, although relatively few studies have been made of man’s relationship to his total environment. This relationship is not viewed in the same way by all people. Some hold the view that man should have dominion over nature and should bring all aspects of nature under his control. This concept was held by the early settlers of North America as they tried to make a living in the wilderness. Nature was their enemy and had to be conquered. When man’s impact on nature had become great enough to foul the waters, ruin the soil, or eliminate wildlife used for food, then man in North America would pack up and move westward. We are just now emerging from this "cowboy"-practice as we realize that the earth is finite and we move toward a spaceman economy, where resources must be used wisely, where wastes must be properly handled, and where the human colony must adjust to the available resources.
