The Sierra Club is a grassroots environmental organization that was founded in 1892 by conservationist John Muir. It has influenced environmental thought and policy in the United States since its creation. The Club was established by Muir after he successfully lobbied for the creation of Yosemite National Park with the intentions of extending Yosemite’s borders as well as promote conservation, preservation, and recreation in California. The success of the Sierra Club since then has been immense, and holds over one million members nationwide. Its involvement with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge includes recurring lobbying to prevent drilling in addition to creating new wilderness regions. Today, the Sierra Club addresses issues such as climate change, renewable energy, urban spaces, environmental justice, and more. Its presence and influence in Washington, D.C. is critical in providing nature a voice.

Dr. Maxwell John Dunbar, mentioned later in the text as the author of Environment and Common Sense which was published in 1971, began his “lifelong involvement with the Arctic” in August 1935 during an expedition to map the western Greenland coast (Grainger 1995, 306). Dunbar was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, attended the Merchiston Preparatory School followed by the Dalhousie Castle School, and finally, Fettes College. In 1933, Dunbar began attending the Trinity College in Oxford, England to study zoology where he met ecologist Charles Elton. After meeting Elton, Dunbar was introduced to the Oxford University Exploration Club. Through this club, Dunbar was invited to join the expedition in Greenland. He received a B.A. in 1937 and subsequently attended Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut on a Henry Fellowship (for more information on the Henry Fellowship see Yale University’s webpage https://yale.communityforce.com/Funds/FundDetails.aspx?4438534B376C50326C63483341496C39582F4435696B6F6554694364593150486764566B344156473663736768494B34585863553574432B646D5868384E6275). While studying at Yale University, Dunbar was able to take a trip to explore the glaciers of Alaska. He returned to Oxford, England, when Elton offered him the opportunity to join the 1939 eastern Canadian Arctic patrol. After accepting Elton’s offer, Dunbar enrolled at McGill University in Montreal, Canada as a graduate student. During his time at McGill University, Dunbar experienced the Canadian arctic for the first time by joining the R.M.S Nascopie. Dunbar began serving as the consular representative of the Canadian consulate in Greenland in 1942, and again in 1946. After leaving Greenland, Dunbar was employed by McGill University in the Department of Zoology. After beginning research for the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, he designed the first Canadian arctic research vessel Calanus. In 1947, Dunbar founded the Eastern Arctic Investigations laboratory at McGill University. His active involvement with McGill University continued until he retired and was appointed Professor Emeritus in 1982. He continued his quest for knowledge after “retiring” and published at least 32 articles after 1982 (Grainger 1995, 306-307).

Did she pull the John Kerry move?

In a way, she got her foot in the door by using Bible quotes and American history. Now she says that some of it needs another look... preferably through eyes that are partial to temperance.

At least in terms of getting inside someone else, John Kerry flipflopping is what I picture.

EDIT: If you have the time, I would recommend watching the full documentary. Go Bucks!

To Campbell, every rhetor needs to strive to be like JOHN CENA… well, figuratively speaking.

Fantastic, and . . . interesting for a writer to say.

I think this "plainness" and baldness...this exposure of the bone is powerful and happens a lot in the later songs.

The easy characterization which is, perhaps partly true. But this is overly dismissive.

The contradictions in Berryman's characterization (he doth protest too much)

Bishop got it...need to find complete context.

Records found in Clontarf attic detail arrests of Larkin and Connolly during Dublin lockout

This just blew my mind. Reminds me of this scene in The Fault in Our Stars when Hazel is wearing a shirt with a pipe on it and tries to argue with someone that its not actually a pipe... it's only a drawing of a pipe..

While Sarah Pierrepont Edwards' awakening is not quite as sexual as Edwards', there are certainly similar words being used. "Sweet," "delight," "pleasure," "fill," we've seen these words before.

I just want to report the return of "sweet." It's in here ten times,

But there is something? Edwards said before that believing in God would save them....I'm so done with this guy.

Where the hell does he get this stuff? We are bugs? God hates us? I don't think Edwards and I read the same Bible....

Where the hell does he get this stuff? We are bugs? God hates us? I don't think Edwards and I read the same Bible....

The use of the bow and arrow here to represent God's judgement is interesting: what are the implications of using a weapon to describe God?

I want to know how many times he says the same thing in different ways.

Yes, thanks Edwards. We get it.

I feel that, according to the Bible, it was the other way around. Humans were "above" all living things and they were made to serve us.

I think this viewpoint is interesting. From the Christian perspective, God created the Earth and all the creatures and then let Adam and Eve name them, it seems like they were created for humans (from the Christian perspective).

It kind of sounds like an instruction manual. Application for sermon: to scare the hell out of non-believers

I feel like this is an exact promise in the Bible. Edwards really likes scare tactics.

God controls everything, reminds me of Rowlandson

He has the word sweet in here 32 times. And four in this paragraph alone.

Sheesh, keep it in your pants, Edwards. The sexual undertones in here are so noticeable and someone mentioned earlier than Edwards often has a hard time expressing his joy in the Lord. Maybe sexual pleasure is his way to express that.

Freud

I am aware of the use of this word in order to indicate sudden speech.

But...

I feel like i don't have to say it anymore...

I'm going to be honest, it sounds like he is describing love-making.

interesting choice of words to describe jesus

Trying so hard not to see this as a euphemism for sexual awakening but its so difficult

I feel like I need to look at the many meanings of this word.

This is a difficult reading. Try your best.

Study Questions:

According to Locke, why is “man” willing to give up the natural condition of freedom?

Why does “man” enter into a condition of society and law?

The "Gods of the mountains" line was a piece of Muir's larger metaphor for the holiness of natural places that figured those who would develop them as "temple destroyers." Here's the full quote from Muir's defense of the Hetch Hetchy in his book The Yosemite.:

These temple destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and, instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar.

Dam Hetch Hetchy! As well dam for water-tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.

Still trying to grasp the implications. Anybody else studying this?

Clearly, John Eliot Gardiner's involvement with Bach's music has been in with the passions, masses, and cantatas. Still, it would have been revealing to read Gardiner's take on Bach's instrumental work.
