  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • Andrea Wulf 20131
    Founding Gardeners. The Revolutionary Generation, Nature, and the Shaping of the American Nation © Andrea Wulf 20131 This paper is based on my book the Founding Gardeners (2011), which examines the creation of the American nation and the lives of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison through the lens of gardens, landscapes, nature and agriculture. Vegetable plots, ornamental plants, landscapes and forests played a crucial role in America’s struggle for national identity and in the lives of the founding fathers.2 Golden cornfields and endless rows of cotton plants became symbols for America’s economic independence from Britain; towering trees became a reflection of a strong and vigorous nation; native species were imbued with patriotism and proudly planted in gardens, while metaphors drawn from the natural world brought plants and gardening into politics. The founding fathers’ passion for nature, plants, gardens and agriculture is woven deeply into the fabric of America and aligned with their political thought, both reflecting and influencing it. I believe, it’s impossible to understand the making of America without looking at the founding fathers as farmers and gardeners. 1 Bibliography: please refer to my bibliography in Founding Gardener (2011). 2 The term ‘founding fathers’ describes a group with a fluctuating membership. When I refer to the four main protagonists in this paper as a group - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison - I have taken the liberty to use the term ‘founding fathers’. 1 I’ve chosen four themes from the Founding Gardeners to discuss in this paper: 1.George Washington’s Mount Vernon: Native Species as Political Statements 2.

    Episode 30 Mormon Identities PRE-MORTAL LIFE, PART 1 [START MUSIC] INTRODUCTION: Welcome to Mormon Identity, a thirty-minute talk radio program that addresses Church topics important to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our host is Robert L. Millet, professor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University. [END MUSIC] ROBERT MILLET (HOST): We welcome you once again to this edition of Mormon Identity. I‟m Bob Millet from Brigham Young University. I‟m joined today by my friend and colleague Brent Top, who is the chair of the Department of Church History and Doctrine at Brigham Young University. Welcome, Brent. BRENT TOP: Thank you, Bob. ROBERT MILLET: We want to talk today really in two segments. First and the second segments, both dealing with the subject of our first estate, the pre-mortal existence, our pre-mortal life. Brent, when we think about some things that appeal to people about Mormonism, it seems to me that, that this portion of our doctrine, namely the doctrine that talks about the eternal nature of man, is particularly appealing. Have, have, have you found that to be the case? BRENT TOP: Well, I‟ve had lots of experiences with that. I remember many years ago taking some of our neighbors and friends when we lived in the Washington D.C. area, northern Virginia. Took them at Christmas time to the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors‟ Center and to see the Christmas lights around the temple. And while we were there, we were, we took them in to see Man‟s Search for Happiness, that was very prominent at that time, and was being shown in all of the visitors‟ centers.

  • A Curious Collection of Visitors: Travels to Early Modern Cabinets of Curiosity
    A CURIOUS COLLECTION OF VISITORS: TRAVELS TO EARLY MODERN CABINETS OF CURIOSITY AND MUSEUMS IN ENGLAND, 1660-1800 Lauren K. Puyear Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Richard M. Golden, Major Professor Walter Roberts, Committee Member Laura Stern, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Puyear, Lauren K. A Curious Collection of Visitors: Travels to Early Modern Cabinets of Curiosity and Museums in England, 1660-1800. Master of Arts (History), May 2014, 81 pp., 10 figures, bibliography, 40 titles. The idea of curiosity has evolved over time and is a major building-block in the foundation and expansion of museums and their precursors, cabinets of curiosity. These proto- museums began in Italy and spread throughout Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Cabinets of curiosity and museums transformed as visitors traveled to burgeoning collections across the Continent and England. Individuals visited curiosities for a variety of reasons. Some treated outings to collections as social events in which they could see others in their social circles and perhaps rise in social status if seen by the correct people. Others were merely curious and hoped to see rare, astonishing, monstrous, and beautiful objects. Scholars of the era often desired to discover new items and ideas, and discuss scientific and philosophical matters. The British Isles are removed from the main body of Europe, but still play a major role in the history of collecting. A number of private collectors and the eventual foundation of the British Museum contributed seminally to the ever-increasing realm of curiosities and historic, cultural, and scientific artifacts.

  • Strangers, Guests Or Clients?
    Strangers, Guests or Clients? Visitor Experiences in Museums INSTITUTIONAL STUDIES Smithsonian Institution Strangers, Guests or Clients? Visitor Experiences in Museums Zahava D. Doering Paper presented at a conference, Managing the Arts: Performance, Financing, Service, Weimar, Germany, March 17-19,1999. Institutional Studies Office Smithsonian Institution 900 Jefferson Drive, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20560 (202) 786-2232/2289 Upon request, this report can be made available in larger type, Braille, audiocassette, and on disk using Wordperfect. Please contact the office at the above address. RN 99-5 Abstract This paper discusses three different attitudes that museums hold towards their visitors: stranger, guest, and client. Stranger: This attitude arises when the museum believes that its primary responsibility is to the collection and not to the public. Guest: From this point of view, the museum wants to ”do good” for visitors out of a sense of mission, primarily through “educational” activities and institutionally defined ”learning objectives.” Client: This paper suggests that social trends will force muse- ums to adopt attitudes and behaviors in which the museum is accountable to the visitor. Institutions will then acknowledge that visitors, as clients, have needs, expectations, and wants that the museum is obligated to understand and meet. The paper also discusses four major categories that describe the types of experiences that individuals prefer and find most satisfying in museums. The categories are based on empirical research conducted in nine different Smithsonian museums. The categories are: Social experiences center on one or more other people, besides the visitor. Object experiences give prominence to the artifact or the “real thing.” Cognitive experiences emphasize the interpretive or intellectual aspects of the experience.

    PRECIOUS REMEDIES AGAINST SATAN'S DEVICES by Thomas Brooks (1608 - 1680) "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us - for we are not ignorant of his devices" - 2 Corinthians 2:11 Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices Thomas Brooks CONTENTS The Epistle Dedicatory A Word to the Reader Introduction I. THE PROOF OF THE POINT II. SATAN'S DEVICES TO DRAW THE SOUL TO SIN [12 devices and their remedies] 1. By presenting the bait and hiding the hook: For remedies, consider that 1) we ought to keep at the greatest distance from sin and from playing with the bait 2) sin is but a bitter sweet 3) sin will usher in the greatest and the saddest losses 4) sin is very deceitful and bewitching 2. By painting sin with virtue's colors: For remedies, consider that 1) sin is never the less vile by being so painted 2) the more sin is so painted the more dangerous it is 3) we ought to look on sin with that eye with which within a few hours we shall see it 4) sin cost the life-blood of the Lord Jesus 3. By the extenuating and lessening of sin: For remedies, consider that 1) sin which men account small brings God's great wrath on men 2) the giving way to a less sin makes way for the committing of a greater 3) it is sad to stand with God for a trifle 4) often there is most danger in the smallest sins 5) the saints have chosen to suffer greatly rather than commit the least sin 6) the soul can never stand under the guilt and weight of sin when God sets it home upon the soul 7) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction 4.

  • Squint Against the Grandeur!”: Waiting for Jesus at the Museum of the Bible
    & THE BIBLE CRITICAL THEORY “Squint against the grandeur!”: Waiting for Jesus at the Museum of the Bible Jill Hicks-Keeton, University of Oklahoma, Cavan Concannon, University of Southern California A Roman Catholic priest, a Greek Orthodox priest, a Protestant minister, and a rabbi sit around a long boardroom table. The setting of a poignant scene in the Coen Brothers’ 2016 film Hail Caesar! sounds like the beginning of a joke. It both is and isn’t. Protagonist Eddie Mannix, a “fixer” for a semi-fictional movie studio in mid-century Los Angeles, has gathered the religious leaders to share their reactions to a new movie his studio is filming. And as viewers hear the full title—Hail Caesar! A Tale of the Christ—we enter a Jesus film. “Does the depiction of Christ Jesus cut the mustard?,” Mannix wants to know. In a rapid-fire exchange that seems to have been designed for screening in a religious studies classroom, the priests, minister, and rabbi banter about the nature of Jesus of Nazareth. Depending on who’s speaking, he is “a man,” “part God,” “not God,” or “not not-God,” as the Christians struggle to find explicable trinitarian language and the frustrated rabbi provokes them.1 Mannix, played by Josh Brolin, is not not-interested in the theology lesson but has more pressing concerns. This film is a big deal and it is costing the studio a lot of money. “It’s a swell story—a story told before, yes, but we like to flatter ourselves that it’s never been told with this kind of distinction and panache,” he exclaims.
