...Landscape and Resources Memo Laura M. Davis GEO/215 February 10, 2014 Renee Tan Landscape and Resources Memo The agriculture areas close to UrCity has, until recently, contributed to the reduction in overall city temperatures. Because of the significant growth of UrCity, this expansion has pushed agriculture further out into the desert basin. UrCity has experienced a rise in temperatures and changing weather patterns that are directly related to urban sprawl. UrCity’s expansion has also demanded an increase in water usage which has become a burden on existing water supplies. Many citizens have also noted the decrease in wildlife that has been typical of the city. This memo will address these concerns and offer viable solutions to the above noted issues. Agricultural Practices The farms surrounding UrCity have taken advantage of traditional farming practices. Monocropping, heavy use of pesticides, and large amounts of water have been keeping these farms operational and profitable for many years but at a high cost to their immediate environment. According to Sustainable Table (n.d.), “Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are derivatives of fossil fuels, including oil and natural gas. The use of fossil fuels is the reason the Earth is experiencing dangerous climate change (Climate Change). The overuse of chemicals has directly contributed to the problem of rising temperatures in and around UrCity. As UrCity becomes larger, the demand for land increases. This has pushed...

...the most important paragraph is on page 56, “the whole landscape showed design, like man’s noblest sculptures” (Muir 56) shows how the land was so perfect and detailed as how a sculpture is but was created by mother nature hands instead of another man’s work. 2. Most important sentence (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? I believe the most important sentence is, “beauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever” (Muir 56). This quote shows how the beauty of the landscape has been created and still continues to grow in an endless beauty. This paragraph is an important sentence that show how important the landscape was to John Muir and how others would see the land if they were standing where John Muir was in the moment. 3. Most important word (CORRECT MLA CITATION REQUIRED) and why? The word that I think was most important is “divine” (Muir 59), because it is a word pertaining to god or devoted to God. This word is used many times and to say something is pertaining to God means it has great value and is very important along with very special. 4. What surprised you the most? What surprised me the most is how John Muir creates visions to my eyes with his choice of sentences and words. 5. What makes the character(s) believable (dress, accent, actions, etc.)? What makes the character believable to me is how he describes the landscape through his vocabulary and the way he gives the reader such...

...------------------------------------------------- How has the Australian Landscape been used to portray and show the development of Australian Character? Refer to 2 Texts. As a person that calls Australia home, I have seen and heard many criticisms and descriptions of this land that were observed from foreigners. Although there are aspects that create the image of Australia such as the people and the natural fauna, the main and central idea that represents our home are her deadly and awe-inspiring environments and landscape. Australia’s character is built upon first impressions. As most people rely on their sight, their first impressions are from visual perspectives. The environment of which they arrive in or have experienced from media depend largely on what they see, thus making the Australian landscape of vital importance in creating the “Australian Character.” Due to the fact that we rely on sight, this also includes our limitless imagination; and the key to imaginations are words. Description, tone and the feelings portrayed through words are the cause of imaginations and perceptions and because the iconic images of Australia are the landscapes we tend to include them in our portrayals. Written languages have been around for centuries, it is a way of communication and as informed so are images. The comparison for the development of Australia flows easily with words and is therefore usually portrayed in texts, other forms of literature and in songs. It goes into more...

Instead of choosing to take part in the internship, I try my best to travel, and to know this world. The three months summer break is full of surprises and memory. I will never forget this 108 days. In June, I finished my final exam of the second semester of year 3 in UIC. And I also take part in the exam for the Human Resource Management qualification and Customer Service Management. I also pass the College English Test 6, without any preparation which own to the good learning environment in UIC. Then, I join the all-night music party holding by BNUZ students, with whom I play guitar, African drum and sing. I have made a lot of good friend including Lai, the nice man coming from Xinjiang. And Lai invited me to Xinjiang to travel. I had spent the next few days playing band with my new friends who are really good at JAM. Then, I organize the travel to my hometown, inviting my band members to enjoy delicious food. It was quite difficult to arrange the 8 people group by myself but however, I did it quite well. And they had tasted the best food in Shantou, which I believe is the best food in the world. Then, at the end of June, I helped my brother’s business selling wine and being the cashier in his wine store. At the same time, I also prepared for the coming summer program in France. The whole...

...What Lies Beneath Washington Square Park? Washington Square Park is a staple of New York City, and if you've ever visited the Big Apple you probably went to see the famous archway. But the park has gone through many changes and renovations: the first park on the site wasn't built until 1850. And the historic arch was not installed until 1892, replacing a cheap one made of wood and plaster. In fact, the park that is erected there now was finalized when Robert Moses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses) updated the fountain in the center. It Wasn't Part Of The City Until 1797 But before the land of Washington Square Park was bought by New York City, it passed between many hands. It's hard to believe that most of Manhattan and Brooklyn was farm land, or marshes. In fact, a huge network of streams once ran right through modern day Greenwich Village. In the late 1600s, only a fraction of Manhattan island was owned by the city. The land of Washington Square Park was divided by a stream, and before the Dutch muscled their way in, it belonged to local Native Americans. The city finally bought it from the dutch in 1797 for a very specific reason: a public cemetery (then, known as a Potter’s Field). What is a Potter’s Field? In Layman’s Terms, it’s a mass grave. For those who couldn't afford to be buried after death, the public cemetery was where you ended up. Working class, freedmen, criminals, and victims of Yellow Fever were put in the ground that became Washington Square...

...the photographic process to create the impressive vision of the landscape ‘Tempest: After Streeton’. This view is a fictitious creation that has been created by the particular elements and aspects of the work; and it challenges the traditional role of photography as a document of the real world. In addition, Shane Fitzgerald works significant elements together to promote a specific theme that makes spectators feel free to read into the image and to distil from it –an ‘awesomely’ sublime environment and extreme weather. This is in addition to exploring the human perceptions of the environment and telling people what the real art is. This artwork functions like a large ‘mirror’ in which the viewers may identify with a creative expression of the landscape to which it belongs. The ‘mirror’ gives an illusion of sublime weather under the conditions of tempest, which captures the viewers’ mind all the time—the vast realms and luminous coalescences of the grassland and dark clouds. The panoramic landscape at sunset has been manipulated, producing a paint-like effect across a vista of clouds at dusk, with extreme fears and depression sweeping over the horizon. This is the viewer’s first impression regarding the artwork’s composition in terms of evoking a breath-taking natural spectacle so intense it seems to pulse with life-force. In these intense stunning conditions, Fitzgerald seeks a sublime expression of the landscape by standout artwork techniques through composition, line, space...

...Profiles belong to a very “stretchy” and versatile genre. These profiles of Griffith Park differ greatly, but they both describe the same place. A.How do they differ in terms of the details they describe? The first story has a real historic feel. The writer goes into a lot of details about the land and how the land later came to be a national park. The second story tells a story of an adventured through the famed park. b. How do they differ in purpose, angle, audience, and style? The first article is for more of a historic reason, while the second story is there simply to tell a story about a night filled with adventure. c. How do their titles forecast the content, angle, and style of each? The first title is long and detailed. The seco0nd is short and sweet. d. How do their organizations differ? How do they begin and end? The article which tells the history, lists several historic facts about the person whom created the Park. The second article tells a story which happens to take place in the park. One Article is to educate, the other is simply to tell a story. e. Finally, compare the two in a single sen- tence that follows a pattern like this one: “The Recreation and Parks piece makes me feel alive, while Percy’s piece makes me feel kind of bored.

...Balboa Park initiated as 1400 acres of land set aside in 1868 by San Diego leaders. Then known as “City Park”, scrub-filled mesa that overlooked present day Downtown San Diego sat without formal landscaping or development for more than 20 years. The first steps in Park improvement were made in 1892, largely due to contributions of Kate Sessions. Kate offered to plant 100 trees a year within the Park as well as donating trees and shrubs around San Diego. Several popular plant species, including the birds of paradise, queen palm and poinsettia were introduced into the Park’s horticulture because of Sessions’ efforts. In fact, many of her original trees are alive and visible today. No wonder Kate Sessions earned the title “The Mother of Balboa Park”. When World War I broke out; Balboa Park was handed over to the navy. There, in what used to be lily ponds, sailors learned to row boats and many of the old exposition's buildings were used as barracks. Once the war was over, the city regained control of the park. Visitors were not able to enjoy the newest additions to Balboa Park, as World War II forced the park back into military service. The park performed as an extension of the Naval Hospital. Most buildings were used as infirmaries, others as barracks, and as a training center. After the war, civilian use was reinstated and the park experienced neglect that lasted throughout the 1950s. In the early 1960s, concern over the dilapidation of the buildings was raised and there were...

...1. What past forest management activities have lead to the unique landscape seen today at Shelburne Farms? The ice storm hurt the forest big time there for some management activities were focused on making sure the forest aspects can stand another storm like the ice storm more so than it did last time. And the landscape has changed due to water erosion and land movement. The hills make for the sugar lines to run smoother and quicker. On the other hand the steady land makes it easier to collect sap buckets. 2. How did the 1998 ice storm affect forestlands at Shelburne Farms? What kind of challenge does this type of natural disturbance present for forest managers? The 1998 ice storm affected the Shelburne Farms forestlands by destroying many trees and most things froze to where they broke. The sap had to stop flowing because the trees were so damaged and solid. The ground and landscape also could have been damaged as well. This kind of disturbance to the forest can prevent sales and even take time to rebuild the entire forest floor. 3. One major challenge facing forest managers and sugarbush owners in the northeast is deer overpopulation. How do deer affect the long-term management of a forestland? Sugar lines if any would be affected and possibly the buckets may be torn down. The deer also would eat the natural wild life around and bugs that are keeping the pests away. 4. In the Shelburne Farms management plan, the section on Harvest Systems is quite specific...

...Austin Matheney Professor Witschi ENGL 2220 4th December 2014 Contrasting Landscapes in Bless Me, Ultima As the pages flip, and the story unfolds, the audience begins to notice that the landscapes in Bless Me, Ultima play a vital role in many different facets of the novel. Throughout the novel, there is an obvious dichotomy between the llano, the land of the main character’s father, and El Puerto de los Lunas, the land of the main character’s mother. As Antonio, who is the focus of the novel, grows older, he is forced to make a decision between the llano and the Luna. This decision is not based upon which land to dwell upon, but rather on which path Antonio should place his life: the dreams of his father or the dreams of his mother. Rudolfo Anaya, the author of the text, also utilizes other simple landscapes, such as the river and the pond, to aid in the coming of age of Antonio. Ultimately, Antonio must choose a path in life, and Anaya implements these different landscapes in order to exemplify Antonio’s struggle and development. The land of both Antonio’s father and of Antonio’s biggest inspiration, Ultima, is the llano; a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and dark plains. At first glance, this is all that the llano holds, but the llano is much more than just a beautiful piece of land to the vaqueros, to Ultima, and to Antonio’s father. The llano represents freedom and embodies the spirit of the vaqueros, or herdsmen, who are a group of people that Antonio’s father...
