Section 423 Annotated Bibliography: California Channel Islands Resource 1: Literature Review The Urocyon littoralis (Island fox) populations that inhabit the California Channel islands have significantly decreased since 1994. This paper reviews prior pathogen exposure in these populations, and examines the present threat through the use of a serologic survey of sympatric feral cats in 2001-2003 on three of the islands, and a survey of the foxes on all of the islands for antibodies against canid pathogens
was Channel Island made? In this essay I will be talking about Channel island and how it was formed, if it was man made or natural, the environmental problems, and all of the beautiful Islands it includes all of the unique plants it has and all of the different species of animals it has. How Channel Island was formed: “The story of the rocks that make up the islands goes back well over 100 million years and is a history of the changes wrought by plate tectonics in southern California. Up to
of pre-modern California cultures. These include; California: The Golden years, California Legacies: Missions and Ranchos, and First Californians. Overall the Bowers museum provides a wonderful display of art and culture from various cultures around the world. MUSEUM EXHIBIT 1) Artifact Display The display that I will be focusing my research on is called First Californians. The display encompasses many of the different artifacts pertaining to the first Native Americans of California. All artifacts
nightmare waiting to happen for many more. I am going to examine the collapse of Enron from the management perspective. The three examples of Enron behaving badly that I am going to study are the incidents in Valhalla, the electricity trading in California and the conflict of interest between Andy Fastow and his special purpose entities (SPE). These are just a few cases that led to the failure of the "World's Leading Company." In 1985 Houston Natural Gas merged with InterNorth, of Omaha, Neb., to

She has worked with sensitive fish, amphibian, reptile, avian, and invertebrate species, including species listed as threatened and endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the California Endangered Species Act. Ms. Horwath has conducted population and habitat assessments, presence/absence surveys, sensitive species rescues
On June 1st, 1937, Amelia Earhart, took off on what she thought would be a historical flight. She began her journey in Oakland, California. This was her second attempt to become the first pilot in history to circumnavigate the globe. She and her navigator, Fred Noonan, took flight in a twin engine Lockheed 10E Electra, and successfully flew to their first destination, Miami, Florida, followed by a successful flight to their next destination, South America. Together, they continued on their journey
detected the incoming planes on the north of the island this post was in training mode and it was thought that the blips were the arrival of B-17 bombers. When the Planes arrived they used the element of surprise to there advantage and had slow but effective torpedo bombers attack battle ships from the west hitting the USS Helena, USS Utah and USS Raleigh, all on the west side of Ford Island. From the east, torpedo planes came in and hit the USS California, the USS Nevada, USS Oklahoma and USS West Virginia
thousands of years ago. The cultures of native California tribes have experienced dramatic change under the direction of Spanish, Mexican and American rule. In each instance of rule there was an effort to assimilate the native Californians until the “old ways” were forgotten. As a result, languages – Sapir-Warf theory’s “distinct worlds” – were lost forever. What we newly see is native culture as a work in progress. How well native people of California could adapt to the conditions set by those in
periods for projects, and an increase in costs and types of materials. For example, the Bay Bridge, connecting the cities Oakland and San Francisco in California, is a perfect illustration of how engineering techniques and costs change over time. First built in the 1930’s, this bridge became an icon to the Bay Area, and in time, to all of California. Rebuilt more than 80 years later, this bridge was a case of politics, social standards and environmental impacts. The difference in finances and policies
In 1909, a federal penitentiary was built. This prison would change the ways of crime and imprisonment forever. Alcatraz island, also known as “The Rock”, opened in 1934 and kept some of the most dangerous prisoners in the world. The island “...was considered the toughest prison America could produce” (“Escape From Alcatraz”). Alcatraz had maximum security and minimum privilege. “...Alcatraz represented the government’s attempt to take a hard-line stance against the rampant crime in the 1920s and
and rivers ( Floating ecosystem) These are flowing water bodies moving in one direction. Streams and rivers can be found everywhere — their origin may be springs, snowmelt or even lakes, and then travel all the way to mouth, usually another water channel or the ocean. The characteristics of river or stream changes during their journey from their source to mouth. The temperature is much lower at the source as compared to its mouth. The water is clearer and has higher oxygen level. freshwater fishes

Daisy Cave, Channel Islands is an archaeological site where scores of bone fish hooks, over thirty thousand fish bones, and cordage made of knotted grass, possibly used for making fishing nets, have been dated to thirteen-thousand years ago. Daisy Cave is an important site because it provides strong evidence for the use of boats along the Pacific coast approximately ten thousand-five hundred years ago. San Miguel Island lies approximately forty kilometers off the coast of California, which suggests
rainforests, who wear small clothing and whose economies rotate around various sorts of vegetation. Physical geography even influences types of government and religion. North America, the third-biggest continent, reaches out from the little Aleutian Islands in the northwest to the Isthmus of Panama in the south. North America's physical geography, environment and assets, and human geography can be considered independently. North America and South America are named after Italian guide Amerigo Vespucci
Capone In the early 17th century, a Miwokian Native American traverses a 22-acre island, searching for the eggs of pelicans and other seabirds (Weirde 1). This native is unaware of the cultural and global impact the small, desolate island will have. Around the same period of time, an Ohlone Native American is exiled for violating tribal ordinances (“Pre-1769”). This Native American is homologously unaware that the island he is exiled on will ironically be used for a much similar purpose in only a few

I was born in Russian Far East, at a controversial Sakhalin island. The island belong to the chain of islands of the east cost of Russia that is contested by Japan as their own. Around 1950, USSR was colonizing second half of Sakhalin island, as a result, a lot of young people was sent over or came over to build out the island’s economy. My parents were among those settlers. With musical and railroad engineering background, they end up serving in police force and military intelligence division -
