Air quality in Joshua Tree National Park The issue of environmental conservation and more specifically air pollution is one that has, for decades, now been a salient one. The California Desert Conservation and Recreation Act of 2015, for example, acknowledges the need to establish areas of critical environmental concern with the aim of enforcing robust measures for preserving the physical ecosystems of national parks in the area (Senate - Energy and Natural Resources). It, therefore, becomes even
Description of the Lesson The lesson was a living history tour of the Desert Queen Ranch in Joshua Tree National Park. The goal of the tour is to show how life and work was like during the height of the ranch in 1939. To do this, the tour utilized two park rangers, one who explained the process of the tour and the other who presented the ranch as if it were 1939. The first ranger gave some background knowledge of the ranch and some interesting tidbits on the state of the world in 1939, such as

UFOs invoke hysteria in society and cause people to believe other worldly beings are among us. The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, talks about the hysteria surrounding the Salem Witch Trials. These two topics are similar because in both cases society tends to have seen things; in this case witches and UFOs/aliens, meanwhile other people didn't witness it nor have it happen to them yet, if not ever. Also, in both cases, there is a huge split between people who believe that UFOs/witches are real

Love filled my soul; love of people, love of family. The backcountry has always helped me find this love; it has been my personal north star, shepherding me toward research and medicine. I started backpacking at 13, trekking across the winter-harsh lands of Idaho and Montana. It was difficult,
How far would you go to support a good cause, how about hiking 3,100 miles along the spine of the Continental Divide? On April 28, 2017 Michael Hervey began his quest to complete the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in a single season. The trip will take him from the badlands of New Mexico to the Canadian border. In the process, he will traverse a series of remote mountain ranges, on of more challenging long–distance trails in the United States, if not the world. Aside from having an epic adventure
After he came back from Ethiopia he called himself Joshua, the one who was to take us to the Promised Land, but the only freedom we have seen up to now is the word ‘Socialism’. To be honest, he had done better than the other party, for the other Party was so anti-Black that not even Elijah Muhammad could enter Jamaica as a Black man. Today, it is a little better; there is freedom of speech for I and I. As you see, we even got the Marcus Garvey Park to use. Here and there we have seen a little change
The Attempts to Present English Art “Britain had one century of painting.” Elie Faure’s statement summarizes best what critics, art researchers and collectors haven’t had the space, the heart or the inspiration to say in their restless attempts to present English Art. WHY? To answer this question we must take into account more than history and documents, we must evaluate the essence, the soul of the creator, of the English man. Andrew Crawley describes in his book (“England”), the English
Buddhism is the Solution to Our Current Environmental Problems The destruction of the environment is a major problem in the world today.
