[ send me this essay ]
This 8 page report discusses the theories of Piotr Alekseyevich Kropotkin (1842-1941), a Russian geographer, social philosopher, and political anarchist.

[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The California desert is not conducive for just any life form, but rather only those who have effectively undergone the necessary physiological adaptations that allow them to withstand extreme heat and cold. Indeed, it can readily be argued that heat is not the only prerequisite for desert environment, inasmuch an arctic-like atmosphere is just as much a part of the desert since its water source is locked within the ice structures. Therefore, there are two distinctly separate entities of life forms that exist within the desert landscape: the heat-adapted and the cold-adapted. Bibliography lists 9 sources and 5 small charts.
