The Aesthetics of Nature and of Language

Greenpeace? Friends of the Earth? Eco-warriors? What can they possibly have in common with an eccentric Californian fruit farmer of Scottish extraction? Or, to put it another way, when you turn the faucet, do you ever wonder where your water comes from? If you live in the San Francisco Bay area, then your water probably comes from Hetch Hetchy, which is located in the Yosemite National Park. Its strikingly unusual name comes from the indigenous people of the area and was used to describe the edible grass that grows there. The valley runs parallel to the Yosemite River Valley ...

The LA River starts in the San Fernando Valley and flows through Simi Hills, Santa Susana Mountains, Los Angeles County, Canoga Park and ends up in Long Beach. Although these areas are in relatively close proximity to each other, they are not similar in appearance, race, class, urban form, transformation, reinvention and the American future. An issue which is perhaps overlooked is the fact that transport completely changed the face of urbanization in the United states and this is what really brought about the population explosion in the West. The growth of railroads and the expansion of industrialization ...

There is something psychologically enthralling about robots that share humanoid body shapes; they interest human beings and can form bonds with them. Although current-day robotics are not good enough to create a robot that ...

The Neandertal type site revisited: Interdisciplinary investigations of skeletal remains from the Neander Valley, Germany
