NAME: Rachel Carson \n BIRTHDATE: May 27, 1907 \n BIRTHPLACE: Springdale, PA \n EDUCATION:  \n1925- entered Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham College) \n1929- graduated with honors, earning a scholarship to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins \nUniversity in Baltimore, MD. \n1932- M.A. in Zoology from John Hopkins University. \n FAMILY BACKGROUND: The youngest of three children, Rachel Carson had a rugged upbringing in a simple farmhouse outside the western Pennsylvania river town of Springdale. She credited her mother with introducing her to the world of nature that became her lifelong passion. \n DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: After completing her education, Carson joined the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries as the writer of a radio show entitled "Romance Under the Waters," in which she was able to explore life under the seas and bring it to listeners. In 1936, after being the first woman to take and pass the civil service test, the Bureau of Fisheries hired her as a full-time junior biologist, and over the next 15 years, she rose in the ranks until she was the chief editor of all publications for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. \nDuring the 1940s, Carson began to write books on her observations of life under the sea, a world as yet unknown to the majority of people. She resigned from her government position in 1952 in order to devote all her time to writing. The idea for her most famous book, Silent Spring, emerged, and she began writing it in 1957. It was published in 1962, and influenced President Kennedy, who had read it, to call for testing of the chemicals mentioned in the book. Carson has been called the mother of the modern environmental movement. \n DATE OF DEATH: April 14, 1964 \n PLACE OF DEATH: Her home in Silver Spring, MD \n PORTRAYED BY: Celeste Earhart \n WEB SITES: \nRachel Carson Homestead \nRachel Carson Council \nRachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge\nRachel Carson Forum - a center for "new ideas and opinions about environmental issues facing Pennsylvania." \nFormer Vice-President Al Gore's Introduction to the 1994 reissue of Silent Spring \nRachel Carson is a charter inductee into the Ecology Hall of Fame \n BIBLIOGRAPHY: \n1941-Under the Sea Wind \n1943-Food From the Sea: Fish and Shellfish of New England \n1944-Food From the Sea: Fish and Shellfish of the South Atlantic \n1951-The Sea Around Us \n1955-The Edge of the Sea \n1962-Silent Spring \n1965-The Sense of Wonder (posthumous) \n QUOTE: \nIt is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility.

not nearly enough, .. and shame on us.... they are GODS creatures and woe to all who have to stand before GOD and make lame excuses why hunting for fun is ok, why bizzar and painfull scientific research is justyable... let alone dog fighting etc etc \n  i'm not big on treatment of circus animals either \nto answer yor question more directly, they have a right[ given by GOD, given by mother nature] to live,procreate, die ,and become part of the food chain as nature intended... i ask no more & no less for myself

Yes there were at one time . Today there are several reserves that have them . In the opinion some radical environmentalists , a large area of the great plains should be cut off of their farm subsides allowing the land go back to the natural state . Yes, including Buffalo . The biggest herds that I have personally seen are in Yellowstone which is in Wyoming not the great plains .

Yes, she did!  At first, I thought I was hearing things but I noticed the note got worse and worse.  I bet Simone wasnt pleased..and Im sure the dog would say..it was a little pitchy at the end...of course Paula would say it was wonderful!

Nope, since American Cancer Society continues to fund animal research - and seems to not even consider the incredibly abundant and accurate amount of non-animal projects out there that are making headway.  I'm not an activist nutjob - so don't get on my case, but I am smart and humane enough to see that there are real alternatives.  But I digress - just go to http://www.pcrm.org for more info in that vein from thousands of actual doctors and scientists.  \n\nIf you're like me and you do want to support the fight against cancer - but in a humane way - there are many, many groups that support non-animal cancer research, for example, The Garland Appeal http://www.garlandappealusa.com created by Paul McCartney in memory of his late wife, Linda.\n\nAnyway, I will not be supporting the Relay for Life, although I will support other cancer-fighting activities and have the utmost respect and best wishes to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

a) No.  She became a superpower long after slavery had ended, and slavery was an inefficient way of gaining economic power (indeed, even during the slavery days, the economic power of the country was in the North, not in the South).  There was a much larger contribution to this from immigrants and being a large nation with a lot of natural resources.\nb) Yes.  Played a big role, as Hitler's regime and the subsequent war devastated Europe, while leaving the US virtually unscathed, beyond the loss of human life, which was much less for us than others.\nc) A small part.  The teaching of the Indians allowed early settlers to survive where they might have perished, especially as they were unwilling to try new foods that this continent had in abundance, but that only established a foothold on the continent.  America's ability to grow food using fewer people came later, and allowed others to pursue different professions, which led to her economic growth.

There is no state animal for iowa.  However the first answerer is wrong; some states DO have animals, like New York, whose animal is the beaver.  I'm from NY and thought that we named the beaver as our state animal in my lifetime.  After doing some research I see that I was right!

An interesting point.  And, at first glance, I would say yes.  However, from the Christian point of view, nature was corrupted along with the fall of man.   Also, different kinds of animals function in different ways.  Many elements of nature function in a strictly selfish, self-preserving way - in the individualistic sense.  Others are more centred on the collectivity.\nSome animals owned by man (dogs, horses) have been known to behave in seemingly unselfish ways,  putting their owners life before their own.  Hard to know what motivates them - is it the self-preserving instinct for the collectivity that has been deterred toward the human owner?  I don't know.\nSo, not being an expert in zoology, I would still suggest that we need a more absolute measure of morality than nature, even though we can learn some things from nature.

No! \n\nFarm personnel, including owners, managers, and farm workers should be educated on the risk of adverse and fatal human effects associated with the use of common equine veterinary drugs such as Xylazine and Acepromazine\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/Niosh/face/stateface/ky/03ky134.html

Wheels are useless without pack animals to pull carts.  No such animals existed in America (except llamas in the Andes -- more on that in a sec.).  So without easily domesticated animals -- buffalo don't count because they resist domestication -- the wheel would have been a pretty useless invention.  Ironically, the Mayans did make childrens' toys with wheels.  But since the wheels would have been useless for actual work without pack animals, they never expanded upon the design.\n\nAs for the Incas and their llamas, maybe they would have invented the wheel, provided the Spaniards had not arrived and given them all smallpox.  :)  Or it may be that the mountainous environment of Peru was ill-suited to wheeled carts.

I think there were quite a few.  They had a bunch of pets.  Maybe something here will help:\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/president/holiday/historicalpets2/04.html\nhttp://www.davidpietrusza.com/coolidge-pets.html

Ben Franklin was a wild Man!!! That Cat took more Laudlum than most horses could survive and still lived to tell the tale! He saw lots of mythical creatures then, let me tell You; I've access to His real diary!!! The only wild turkey He was talking about came out of a bourbon bottle Baby!! There is no such thing as real turkeys, unless You count the ones that garden gnomes ride around on.

no such - the phrase can be found as - advanced mammal like reptile or advanced mammal studies\n\nbut since it is homework then your teacher is probably looking for something like HUMAN as in an advanced ( on an evolutionary scale ) mammal ( teachers can be wrong too )
