About the University (PDF) About the University Courses Academic Welcome to California State University, Fullerton, where we create opportunities in and out of the classroom for students, faculty and staff to work and learn together. Our campus offers a student-centered atmosphere – an atmosphere that is responsive to who our students are, and what they hope to become. This is possible because our highly qualified and diverse faculty provide undergraduate and graduate programs that help our students reach their personal and professional best. Our professors do an exceptional job of providing students with undergraduate and graduate programs that reflect the best of current practice, theory and research. Faculty members work directly with our students in their classrooms, laboratories and studios. At California State University, Fullerton, our students have so many opportunities to reach their full potential. Our eight colleges offer more than 100 degree programs, so students can explore new areas and find a major that is right for them. With full overall accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, many of our programs are further distinguished by discipline-specific national accreditations and associations. In addition, many have achieved national prominence because of the excellence of our faculty and the achievements of our alumni. As a Cal State Fullerton student, you will learn from highly accomplished faculty members who create an exceptional learning environment. We encourage you to go beyond the classroom, and apply knowledge to real-world experiences – undergraduate research, professional internships, prestigious competitions, study abroad and more. On our campus you experience real life – a vibrant, metropolitan university environment with real-world connections to business, government, entertainment and the arts. Take a tour of our amazing facilities, and meet our students. There are nearly 35,000 students on campus who reflect California’s rich, multicultural population. Many are the first in their families to attend college. For others, joining our proud Titan alumni network has become a tradition among relatives and friends. At Cal State Fullerton you can make the most of your college experience. You will meet and make lifelong friends, and have so many choices to get involved with the campus and community. What’s more, a wide network of student support services will help you get started, succeed and stay on track to graduation. Your future is full of promise. I am proud to say that Cal State Fullerton has made a difference in the lives of more than 200,000 Titan graduates, and we are committed to making a difference in your life as well. Milton A.

    Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center University of California, Irvine UCI – NATURE and UC Natural Reserve System California State Parks – Colorado Desert District Anza-Borrego Desert State Park & Anza-Borrego Foundation Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice (revised 1/31/2019) A gaggle of geneticists in Borrego Palm Canyon – 1975. (L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Prothero, Ph.D.* Modern civilization and even human survival would not be possible without significant advances in science and medicine, yet even in the most developed countries there are people who deny the evidence of science when it conflicts with their religious or political agendas. Modern science deniers often have the same psychological factors and motivations, and typically employ the same tactics to deny reality, often using "the Holocaust Denier's playbook". In this lecture, we will examine some of the most serious forms of science denialism, from climate deniers to creationists to anti-vaxxers, why they resist the discoveries of science yet embrace the latest technology and medicine, and what it means for our future.
