Welcome
This site has been created primarily for students in my Philosophy and the Environment course.
It was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make "nature" their slave, since they thought "nature" was something outside them.
-- William Morris, 1890
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
-- H.G. Wells, 1920

In addition the humidity, as the oceans evaporated, had increased by 16 Selkirks. So things were hotter and wetter; the great procession of nature clanked on, and toward what?

About Me
- Aeolus
- Why "Aeolus"? When, as a young child, I crossed the equator on a KLM airliner bound from Cairo to Jakarta, I was given a scroll naming me an Acolyte of Aeolus, the god of the winds. So perhaps my blogger name should be "Acolyte of Aeolus", but that seems just a bit long-winded.
