Extractions: Ecology Hall of Fame Muir Biography Extracts ... Web Links A Brief Biography In the spring of 1868, a young man came to Yosemite and changed the world. Muir had just turned 30 that year. His first 11 years were spent in Dunbar, Scotland. The next 11 he spent in the backwoods of Wisconsin, working through the daylight hours, clearing the forest, holding a plow to a straight furrow behind a team of oxen, digging wells through hard bedrock, and taking an adult's part in subduing wild nature. Years later, in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth , he stressed the rigours of his childhood, but he seemed to feel that his strenuous years in Wisconsin prepared him well for his later wilderness ramblings. He also prepared throughout his childhood for his life as a naturalist by a close attention to the wonders of nature. Everything, it seemed, drew his eye and his mind, and all creatures drew his sympathy, whether the mice that ate the grain he had wrung from the earth by the sweat of his brow or the intelligent old ox Buck, who figured out how to open pumpkins to feast on the succulent inner flesh. As a teenager, he had no time for school and little opportunity for formal study. Yet his mind hungered for knowledge. When his father grudgingly gave permission for him to rise before the rest of the family to read, he took to rising at one in the morning. He wrote, "I had gained five hours, almost half a day! 'Five hours to myself!' I said. 'Five huge, solid hours!' I can hardly think of any other event of my life, any discovery I ever made that gave birth to joy so transportingly glorious as the possession of these five frosty hours."

Extractions: PROBLEM GAMBLING: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE WEBSITE (Last updated: November 25, 2002) CONTENTS: A. Introduction B. Important Cautionary Notes C. Canadian Links D. International Links A. Introduction Nobody knows for certain how much money Canadians spend on games of chance each year, but to be sure, socially sanctioned/legal forms of gambling in Canada have been estimated to be worth some $20 - $27 BILLION annually. Moreover, these figures will likely increase quite substantially in the very near future, given the trend towards increased availability of gambling venues throughout many parts of the country (such as the notorious VLT's: Video Lottery Terminals). Despite some rather impressive research and programmatic undertakings in this area of study to date, there is still much to be learned about the negative consequences associated with gambling behaviour. The need for new knowledge, and an efficient and appropriate translation of same into programs and services which will assist problem gamblers and their significant others has never been greater! The role of the Internet in this regard is really quite unique. Through the Net, new knowledge can be conveyed as a means of increasing societal consciousness as well as a mechanism for improved communication amongst researchers and programmers in the field. This is also an excellent way to assist and facilitate self-help groups with their pursuits. In this regard, the purpose of the

A researcher may reveal many profound things. As individuals, however, it is rare that any one researcher provides all the keys we need for health. It is more likely we will discover some aspect of the researcher's work that truly works for us rather than everything the researcher offers. For this reason, it is important we each use our own truth detector to decide what we want to accept and what we want to reject no matter how authoritative the researcher may seem. We introduce you now to some of these rare individuals, independent researchers, who have devoted time and talents to bring us keys to creating health.
