In one way or another, climate change is impacting all social, economic, and ecological systems on the planet. Scientists worldwide warn of catastrophic and irreversible damage to social and ecological systems in absence of rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented shifts in energy and land use. Yet, m

EDITOR’S NOTE. In the following excerpts from the beginning of Virginia Satir’s first Process Community (Avanta Process Community I, Crested Butte, Colorado, August 1981), and some of her writings, we can see the reason for this theme on personhood. It was Virginia’s conviction that therapy actually

Climate change is a global process that will impact local places in heterogeneous and unpredictable manners. This dissertation considers whose knowledge and observations could contribute to conservation and climate adaptation planning, how perceptions influence social-ecological feedbacks, and how s

A trophic cascade is an ecological process in which predators affect the producer biomass and community composition of an ecosystem by limiting plant consumption by herbivores. Predators not only control herbivore populations through predation, but their mere presence can affect herbivore behavior.

A lavishly illustrated tour of twenty-two houses built using alternative methods, Living Homes proves that sustainability and high style are not diametrically opposed. Broken down into sections exploring four styles of homes--straw bale, rammed earth, adobe, and recycled materials, each method is ex

Though many prey species use camouflage to escape predation, the role of non-visual camouflage in ecological systems remains understudied, potentially overlooking important mechanisms mediating interactions between species. For instance, some insect prey species use chemical camouflage to pacify pre

Much is known about bee pollination, but there is little information concerning pollination by syrphid flies. Syrphid flies are also important to study because they are the most significant flower visiting Dipteran insects, which are the second most important order among flower-visiting and flower-p

Thesis (M.A.)--Georgetown University, 2009.; Includes bibliographical references. This thesis explores the rhetorical methods utilized in the environmental movement. I employ the same rhetorical devices in my own environmental essay geared toward advocating for a proposed railway in Colorado.
