Federalism in Regards to the Watershed Issues in the United States
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing federalism in regards to watershed and water system deterioration in the U.S. Geoffrey O’Gara’s book “What You See in Clear Water: Life on the Wind River Reservation” touches on a local watershed issue which has seen the involvement of local, state and federal authorities and agencies which has not led to the betterment of the water system. The Native Americans in Wyoming near the Wind River want to reclaim the watershed rights in order to reclaim and revitalize the water system. The state however wants to maintain control of the water system. This is one example of state and federal mismanagement across the United States which has seen a massive depletion in the fauna in the water systems and almost half of the rivers and lakes in the country considered threatened by the Environmental Protection Agency. Federalism has retained control over the water system mainly because of the factors which have endangered the systems such as agriculture, industry, grazing and urbanization are all considered “better” for the economy of the nation.

Feeding response in crosses between geographical races of the garter snake, Thamnophis elegans: A Critique of the Article by Stevan J. Arnold
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page review of this article exploring the geographic variance of food preference. Arnold’s article represents one of just a few studies which have explored geographic variation from a behavioral standpoint. Arnold chose to investigate the slug-eating behavior which typifies garter snake populations in mollusk-rich environments, asserting that his study “represents the most thorough documentation of geographic variation in behavior in the vertebrate literature”. Arnold crosses individuals from inland and coastal populations of garter snakes to test the food preference of the first generation offspring. He concludes that there is no perfect intermediacy in regard to the feeding preferences tested. No additional sources are listed.

Fikret Berkes' "Traditional Ecological Knowledge In Perspective": Critical Review
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Culturally differing attitudes toward the concept of nature and environment significantly impact upon ideas of human existence as they relate to knowledge, inasmuch as there is no way to escape the influence that nature has upon virtually every aspect of life. Fikret Berkes' "Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Perspective" acknowledges the fact that typically, cultural elements represent the primary differences that exist between and among various peoples and the manner by which they interact with the environment around them, for the reason that culture stands as the dictating force behind issues associated with nature. No additional sources cited.

Film Analysis / Silkwood
[ send me this essay ]
In this 4 page report, the writer finds that Silkwood -- the biographical account of a plutonium plant worker who died mysteriously in an auto crash as she was about to expose nuclear safety violations-- shies away from taking a definitive stand on who precisely was responsible for the institutional negligence at the plant and ultimately, for Karen Silkwood's death. The writer also feels that the film is clearly slanted toward the positions of labor and the environmental-protection movement yet never tells us who was guilty. No Bibliography.

Florida Beach Erosion
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper that examines the erosion of Florida's beaches, how it occurs and what is being done to offset it. The writer argues that while officials, on the local, state and national level, are concerned about this problem, an examination of the forces behind beach erosion demonstrates that there is only so much that technology can do. In the final evaluation, humanity still is at the mercy of nature concerning this issue and can only hope to offset, rather then alter, the forces that cause beach erosion. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Forest Management
[ send me this essay ]
The belief that the bounty of nature can be reaped in a controlled manner is an ideal known as 'sustainable use'. Sustainable use is not some fringe idea, but rather the central organizing principle for global environmental policy, a concept refined over two decades at international conferences. It is often paired with 'sustainable development', or the notion that economic development, if carried out in a careful manner, can proceed without exhausting the natural resources needed by future generations. This is a 7 page paper that looks at sustainable use of forests, specifically in the philosophy of the National Forest Service, the BLM and the private commercial sector. It also looks at non-federal public land use. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
