anemochory ~ dispersal of seeds by the wind
anemochord ~ a species of harpsichord, in which the strings were moved by the wind; an æolian harp
anemocracy ~ government by the wind
~ the miserable and precarious state of an anemocracy, of a people who put their trust in hurricanes, and are governed by wind
-- Sydney Smith, 1808

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

The key glacier, Ol’ Skintop, had retreated 4.62 Grables during the last twenty-four-hour period. And the temperature, at noon in New York, had exceeded the previous day’s by 1.46 Wagners. 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.

This is interesting, considering the growing acknowledgment of the utility of traditional Asian medical products.
Will the "Daoism" of traditional China and their associated medical practices negatively conflict with the economic force of the western capitalist societies?
This report seems to suggest that it does. That is, if it is not "the way of nature" to loose the black rhino. But if it is, and the black rhino becomes extinct, then where will we get the proper ingredients for the Asian medicine?
In regards to Simon's article, could this be a nature resource which IS finite?
