Wilderness

all its unique landscapes. the authors of “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” both understand this, but both argue two different side on the topic of whether Antarctica should be kept isolated from humans and left alone or be explored and plundered of its resources. Both passages explain their sides of the argument and one passage is more efficiently supported than the other. In the first passage, “The Last Wilderness Preserve”, the author argues that Antarctica should

Wilderness: History and Value History From the very beginning of this nation's history, wilderness has been a fundamental ingredient. The first European settlers found and battled against it upon their arrival. The western explorers and wagon trains sought to wrestle farmland from the wilderness's grip to build cities, farms and homes. It was not until the reality of its finite availability, that it was viewed as anything other than an opponent and menace. These changing attitudes began

treatment at a younger age and need more interventions to fit their needs. Wilderness therapy is a newer intervention found to be effective with youth and adolescents. This paper will examine the major components of wilderness therapy, the mental health disorders treated, the setting in which wilderness therapy is used, the appropriate client populations, multicultural considerations, and the limitations of this therapy. Wilderness therapy is a form of therapy

Pinchot become known at the time as the man who saved U.S. forests. He introduced sustained-yield forestry---cutting no more in a year than the forests could produce new growth. Pinchot’s goal was to show private landowners that they could too can harvest trees without damaging the forest and graze livestock without denuding the range. He is known for reforming the management and development of forests in the U.S. Pinchot believed that it was important for people to depend on natural resources, and

In Wallace Stegner’s “Wilderness Letter,” he is arguing that the countries wilderness and forests need to be saved. For a person to become whole, Stegner argues that the mere idea of the wild and the forests are to thank. The wilderness needs to be saved for the sake of the idea. He insinuates that anyone in America can just think of Old faithful, Mt. Rainier, or any other spectacular landform, even if they have not visited there, and brought to a calm. These thoughts he argues are what makes

project began to create a centralized collection of information about our nation’s wilderness. Before the proposal of the Wilderness Information Network, information on the wilderness was spread across multiple sites controlled by different branches of the government that held relevant information. The Wilderness Information Network (WIN) sought to unite the information in a way that the general public, wilderness visitors, scientists, managers, educators, legislators, and government agents would

Wilderness and expedition medicine has been in practice for thousands and thousands of years dating all the way back to ancient Greece. However origins of modern day wilderness medicine date back to 1983 when the Wilderness Medicine Society was founded by three doctors; Dr. Greer, Dr. Kizer, and Dr. Auerbach 1 establishing the first organized group to pursue wilderness medicine with an intent to advance wilderness medicine as a whole, administration of wilderness health care, and the education

remembered the many examples of the wilderness in the Bible I wanted to see how what they have in common could to serve to define what it meant to be in the wilderness. From the stories of Adam and Eve, the people of Israel, Moses, and Jesus being tempted in the wilderness, I found common characteristics of how wilderness was understood. It was a place away from society and with less control. People are often lost and wandering as they experience the wilderness. It is where people go to be tested

During history class as a child I grew up learning of the vast amounts of buffalo that roamed the American wilderness. However, as we all came to learn, Buffalo are scarcely seen today due to early settlers choosing human progress over nature’s preservation (Nesheim 2012). I choose wilderness preservation because I’ve never seen a wild buffalo and I don’t want my children to have the same problem with a different species of animal. Nature provides not only value to human sustainment but also value

Transcendent means beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience. I think people would go to the Alaskan wilderness to find a deeper meaning in their life because they want to transcend into another stage in their life. The wilderness can be a great place to do that because it is isolated from society. Also you are one on one with nature and the wild is your playground. Noone is there to stop you or hold you back. All your thoughts are able to manifest freely. To reach
