This is a review I posted to Amazon recently for David Sloan Wilson's extraordinary book "Darwin's Cathedral." I also solicited David's comments on the review,...
I thank Premise Checker for this review. This article states the importance of genes working in an environment. This supports the concept of nature and...

Here's a link to Howard Bloom's Global Brain. http://www.heise.de/tp/english/special/glob/default.html Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Truly yours, Teresa...
Good stuff. Thanks Teresa. Here is Bloom's last paragraph from his Telepolis version of Global Brain. Of interest is what he has to say about Deep Ecologists...

... Quite a generalization, Teresa, and very inaccurate. Look up the definition of "ecology" sometime and you'll see that a great many scholars (not "surface...

Nice to hear from you Scott. Here in California, many ecologists (those I've known) tend to be supporters of anti-establishment everything. Thus I really...
I completely agree with you Teresa. The ecofreaks continue to besmirch the reputation and honor of those ecologists who continue to work for a sustainable...

Hi Teresa. An ecologist, remember, is simply one who studies the realtionships between organisms and environment. The eco-freaks really are a perversion of...

Yes, and Scott has further contributed an important distinction between ecologist and environmentalist. Am I correct in assuming that you consider yourself an...
Your point is well made. Thanks Scott. Eco-freaks are fringe riders and have no place in serious academics. Teresa Beacon ... Scott ... with ... wish ... ...
Teresa, Yes, I consider myself an ecologist, and I agree with Scott in his definition, but let me expand a bit. The term ecology is derived from the Greek...
Ecologist sounds like a substantial label and one that adds respectibility to ones avocation. Yet I do have one further question: do you also consider...
This crossed my desk. Is there substance to Koenigsberg's "warfare as submission"? If so, what reasons can be presented? Gerry ... From: PsycheCulture@... ...
Teresa, That's exactly the same question I was asking Dennis. Why is environmentalist such a touchy label? If it weren't for environmentalists on the West...
Most interesting Gerry. I take it that the blurb below is claiming a true liberal is one who delights in experimentation BUT with controls. Hadn't given that...
... Hallo Dennis. I have a quick question: why is that you don't consider yourself to be an environmentalist? It would appear to me that everyone "needs" to...
Hot diggety! This post on war as submission is VERY similar to a liberal exhibiting controls. About those Nazis who submitted to Hitler, those sheep who...
Astride and Teresa, Damn - I've been found out!!! Of course, I'm also an environmentalist. My response to Teresa in which I took refuge behind the skirts of ...
I thought environmentalist was the wrong label to wear in such a conservative time (2002). Maybe I'm wrong. What about E.O. Wilson and Aldo Leopold. Do they...
Let's see if I understand exactly what you are driving at, Astride. I think I get the "war as submission" part -- i.e. that followers of a leader (like the...
Ed Wilson (you have the right one) is definitely still around, running a massive program to identify all of the species that have not yet been discovered...
Glad to hear we are talking about the same guy. Yea, he's the biologist at Harvard. He and S.J. Gould certainly weren't known as "best friends", huh. If you...
Teresa, No - I didn't know about Ed's physical challenges. Never again will I complain about a physical anomaly. I also considered Aldo Leopold to be a poet;...
