Great Bear Rainforest The controversy over logging, and more specifically clearcutting, is not a new issue in America. Ever since the 1920's and 1930's, when this nation started to become conscious of conservation, citizens have weighed the consequences of logging. Critics have questioned whether the increase in jobs, tax dollars, and economic growth was worth the destruction of forest lands. Regardless of what they believe today, the logging industry had become so efficient that by the late
In the future section, The Great Bear and Eight of Vessels (Rebirth) were the cards I found most relevant to Bruce Wayne’s story arch. As I explained, The Great Bear represents a stage where a hero is laid to rest so they can be reborn. The card came up in the future section, and I took this to mean that sometime in the near future, Bruce will find what he needs to make it out of the crypt from the card and improve his personal life. The Eight of Vessels (Rebirth) appeared to also reference this

The constellation I have chosen is Ursa Major, specifically the Big Dipper within it. Ironically, Ursa Major is my favorite because of one of its many creation stories. Ursa Major is also known as the Great Bear, and lies in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 88 constellations first recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is also the third largest constellation in the sky. I recognize that the Big Dipper is not a constellation, this creation story is too good to pass up sharing

A park ranger and I skinned the bear and examined it for clues to its unusual behaviour, and this behaviour was not normal as by far most grizzlies live in wilderness areas and do their best to stay away from people. In his fine book, Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance, Steve (who was with us during the skinning) provided the results of our examination. Steve sent me one of the bear’s canines for a souvenir and a premolar for ageing (we could have used an incisor as that tooth has a larger

Bear vs. Shark On a level playing field the bear would prevail because it has many weapons to destroy its prey on multiple surfaces, and they instinctually fish to survive. It’s a known fact that bears not only have mighty paws with razor sharp claws attached onto them, but they also have piercing teeth they use to tear apart any opponent. The bear can independently move both of its paws with ease which allows it to attack the shark from multiple directions. Also, the bear could attempt to stab

anthropomorphic relationship between a human being and a grizzly bear in the film Grizzly Man (2005) by Werner Herzog. Berger’s analysis of the ancient relationship between human beings and animals is defined through the anthropomorphic proximity of animals that has become increasingly disconnected in the modern era.
