The Viability of the Catastrophism Theory in Dinosaur Extinction
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page consideration of the theory of catastrophism in relation to the dinosaur extinction which occurred during the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. Weighs the geologic evidence of such an event against the environmental effects which would have occurred to contend that such an event would have had much further effects than on the dinosaurs alone. If catastrophism resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs it would have resulted in widespread extinction of other species as well. Concludes that this fact discounts the validity of catastrophism and suggests that gradual environmental changes and the effects of competition with other animals led to this extinction.

Thoreau/Nature Essays
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses 2 essays by Henry David Thoreau. Writing in the first half of the nineteenth century, Henry David Thoreau’s writing seems to modern readers to invoke a time when nature was freer and less constrained by the imprint of humanity and its influences. Nevertheless, Thoreau, in several of his nature essays, makes it clear that he sees human influence on nature as changing it, categorizing it and taming it to fit the requirements of commercialization. In this manner, Thoreau’s essays, “Huckleberries” and “Wild Apples,” are quite prophetic. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
