Aldous Huxley/Island
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper that discusses and analyzes Aldous Huxley's last novel, Island. This novel describes a Utopian society that, in many ways, anticipated the current debates concerning sustainable growth, ecological concerns and criticism of the rampant industrialization and consumerism that has shaped so much of Western society. Basically, in this novel, Huxley offers an alternative vision to the horrors that he has warned his readers about in his earlier works, that is, over population, coercive politics, militarism, industrialization and the destruction of the environment. Examination of novel brings up the question as to whether Huxley is a prophet, a visionary or a dreamer? No additional sources cited.

Alewife Management And Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The water sources of late are clearly demonstrating the consequences of overwhelming pollution and encroachment by killing off a significant percentage of alewife, which, in turn, serves to threaten those species that depend upon the fish species as a primary food source. What is being done to correct this drastic situation is too little too late according to critics, who contend that the alewife population, once so plentiful that the only implement necessary to catch them was a spoon, struggles for survival against pollution and man's encroachment upon fast disappearing spawning grounds.

All Creation is Groaning/A Vision of Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review. All Creation is Groaning, An Interdisciplinary Vision for Life in a Sacred Universe (1999), edited by Carol Dempsey and Russell Butkus, is a fascinating anthology of essays that collectively offer an alternative vision of the environment, the current ecological crisis and the role of humanity within this complex web. This is truly a multidisciplinary text, as the its title indicates, as the contributors each present arguments that pertain to their particular field and perspective. However, basic themes can be found that run throughout these essays and which serve to illuminate the vision that is the overall point of the book. This review follows several of these themes in order to evaluate the degree of success that the editors achieve in presenting a persuasive, cohesive argument for their defining vision and the reviewer concludes that the editors achieve this purpose.

Alternative Fuel Cars: Alcohol vs. Electric
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the design, durability and safety of alcohol-powered and electric cars, particularly GM's EV1. As for which is "best," it appears that alcohol-powered vehicles provide a good alternative to gasoline-powered cars for the short term, buying time for further development of the various electric versions that are becoming more common and more affordable. In the long term, however, it is the electric approach that needs to be regarded as "best." Current models are highly limited in their range, but the further development and refinement of the use of fuel cells will give future purchasers greater freedom of movement outside the city limits.

Alternatives to Animal Testing
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines the issues surrounding alternatives to animal testing. Examination of why researchers should consider alternatives to animal testing in laboratories show that the arguments against this practice are persuasive and backed up with empirical research. These arguments state that (1) animal testing is often simply an entrenched procedure, which is continued due to tradition and law, rather than its efficacy; (2) successful alternative methods for testing have been discovered, which makes it logical to assume that further alternatives could be formulated; (3) animal testing is expensive as compared to alternative methods; (4) alternative methods are produce faster results, and (5) animal testing is cruel and, therefore, immoral.
