Abstract This essay discusses the history, geography and ecology of the introduction of the European rabbit into Australia. Special focus on eradication techniques and a discussion on whether the complete eradication of rabbits from Australia is feasible.
Contents:
Introduction and subsequent spread
Implications of invasion
Previous attempts for control
The future
Is eradication feasible?
From the Paper "Although European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were first introduced into Australia with the arrival of the First Fleet, they did not become feral until an English settler by the name of Thomas Austin introduced 24 rabbits on to his homestead near Geelong in 1858 (EPA, 1999). It is difficult to exactly quantify the rate of spread of European rabbits, since liberation occurred independently in Victoria, South Australia and northern New South Wales, however figure 1 shows a plausible suggestion as to the progressive distribution of rabbit populations in Australia over time (AGPL, 1996)."

Abstract Ireland's culture is diverse and extensive. This paper sheds light on many aspects that make Ireland a unique country. A heavily-sourced essay that covers the geography, culture, history, and economy of Ireland.
From the Paper "Due to rising tension and resentment of British rule over Ireland an uprising of Irish citizens began on Easter Monday April 24, 1916. Patrick Pearse read a proclamation announcing the establishment of the Irish republic under an interim government. Elsewhere in Dublin, armed men of the Irish Citizens Army took control of four key points in Dublin. The Irish Citizens Army received assistance from Germany, which was a key factor in them obtaining supplies to aid the revolution against Britain. This particular revolt was unsuccessful, yet it led the way for further revolts (Irelandseye, 2002)."
Abstract This paper ventures into the Caribbean Sea through the eyes of a tourist traveling to the region for the first time and seeing many wonderful revelations. It discusses the history of the Caribbean Sea, including both the body of water and the region, from its discovery by Columbus in 1492 to its use by the U.S. Navy. It looks at how it is the lifeline of an entire region, helping many nations subsist as a food, travel, and trade source, and how its effect on the world has been immense.
From the Paper "But while tourists bring money and jobs to the region, they are also destroying the Caribbean's most valuable asset. In one study, tourists were found to use over three times as much water as local inhabitants of the islands. Sleeping in lush hotels, tourists demand that linens and towels be washed every day using harmful soaps and chemicals that will be later dumped into the sea. The coral reefs in the Bahamas, for example, are being killed by the pollution drifting atop the water which blocks necessary sunlight. Tourists also often wish to take home the reefs and end up picking away the most beautiful of the water's possessions for sale or souvenir (Young Reporters)."
Abstract This paper looks at the history of the land that lies beneath Staten Island, which was created over several hundred million years via the recurrent disintegration and smashing of continents. It then looks at the current geography and demography of the area, including population trends of the area.
From the Paper "Around 500 million years ago, there was nothing called the Staten Island. What had in existence had been the continental chunks and some ocean basins. One of these continental chunks was ancient North America, which was named Laurentia. At this particular juncture in the history of the globe Laurentia was situated at the equator. Other chief continental chunks that found existence at the juncture are Baltica ? ancient Europe, Gondwanaland consisting of the ancient Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and India, chunks of Asia, and a few micro continents. At the time of the previous 500 million years these continental chunks drifted around to their current geographic positions. (The Geology of Staten Island)."
