Piotr Alekseyevich Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid: A Factor of
Evolution”
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the theories of Piotr
Alekseyevich Kropotkin (1842-1941), a Russian geographer, social
philosopher, and political anarchist. Kropotkin’s work and
observations of the natural world convinced him that creatures
survived when they supported one another but had to face an
enormous amount of pain and dissension when they turned on one
another. Such thinking flew in the face of the popularity of
Social Darwinism and served as a significant philosophical
contention. “Mutual Aid” was primarily written as a rebuttal to
Thomas Huxley’s essay titled “The Struggle for Existence in Human
Society.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Planet Hunters May Rival Indiana Jones.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "Or it might have formed from a large burp
of matter from its host star, or maybe a passing
star just left a chunk of itself behind at some time in the past, "Marcy said. "It may even have moons around it, but I just don't know what to call it." Sounds like conversation from a discarded sci-fi novel, doesn't it? How about that is real conversation from January of this year (2001). Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California, at Berkeley, calls himself a "planet hunter." He and his team have located "something,"123 light-years from Earth, is indeed a planet, it would be the largest ever detected. This guy is so big we don't know what to call it," Marcy said.
Bibliography lists 3 sources and 2 visuals of
expoplanets.

Plant And Animal Species In The California Desert
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The California desert is not conducive for just any life form, but rather only those who have effectively undergone the necessary physiological adaptations that allow them to withstand extreme heat and cold. Indeed, it can readily be argued that heat is not the only prerequisite for desert environment, inasmuch an arctic-like atmosphere is just as much a part of the desert since its water source is locked within the ice structures. Therefore, there are two distinctly separate entities of life forms that exist within the desert landscape: the heat-adapted and the cold-adapted. Bibliography lists 9 sources and 5 small charts.

Positive Aspects Combining Nature and Technology
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. The
introduction of bioengineering into the mainstream of science and
technology has been nothing more than a natural progression. To
be sure, there is a definite need for such advancement if
humanity is to endure the climate changes that are affecting the
very food crop upon which people depend. Additionally, the
advantages of bioengineering within the medical industry have
proven indispensable for its groundbreaking discoveries and
applications with regard to sustaining health in the human body.
There is no question that bioengineering represents mankind's
ability to overcome some of nature's most ravaging aspects in
order to continue -- and even enhance -- life as we have known it
thus far. Without the influence of bioengineering, humanity's
food supply and medical advances would suffer greatly.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Prioritizing NASA Projects
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper weighing options in a hypothetical
light. The assumption is that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has committed itself to expensive major programs in Mars exploration and in searching for
and characterizing planetary systems near other stars. The program with the highest
priority will be retained and the other will be suspended. The purpose here is to determine
which program has the highest priority; the paper concludes that the Mars mission should
be retained. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Production of Lactic Acid: Artificial Vs Natural
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. As with most things in the twenty-first century, the production of lactic acid has become the latest victim of progress. The natural process that produces the fermented composition of lactose (milk sugar) is no longer
considered economically feasible in its current state, inasmuch as it can be reproduced at a rate that is both faster and cheaper. Critics contend that while this technological breakthrough may be beneficial in some ways, it is not looked upon as a advancement toward better nutrition or a plus for the environment. Their claim is that while the ongoing pursuit of bioengineering may produce a viable form of lactic acid, the very process of extracting this substance is what remains in question. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
