Abstract
An analysis of the artist Caspar David Friedrich's painting "The Great Preserve" including a discussion of light, angles, perspective, contrast, symmetry and lines.
From the Paper
"Caspar David Friedrich?s "The Great Preserve" is a piece of art that inspires unusual, perhaps unexpected emotions in the viewer. At first glance it seems to evoke an attitude of peace, but upon more careful examination one notices that Friedrich?s extraordinary use of symmetry and the peculiarities in composition provide more for a mood of unrest, as though the painting and the viewer, or perhaps even the painting and the artist, are at odds with each other. Yet at the same time the original feeling of peacefulness is still present in the depth and spaciousness of the scene. His incredible use of curves, color, motion, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional placement are all contributors in making this painting both fascinating and mysterious."

Abstract
The following paper looks at the ideals and ethics of infanticide and abortion with reference to religious perspectives, community opinions and historical views. The writer makes reference to legal cases and statistics showing the rise in abortion in the United States.
From the Paper
"Infanticide is the murder of children either before or after its birth, according to French Criminal Codes infanticide is only the murder of the infant after its birth therefore the death of a new born baby, however within the English legal system it is classified as the destruction of life from conception to the age of three years old (Walsh PG).
Infanticide normally happens when the food supply is limited, this can be seen to occur within Chinese and Eskimo communities. Moreover, female infanticide is more common especially within strong patriarchal communities, and also within communities where a child is deformed or touched by evil, for example twin, these may be slain at birth (Anonymous PG)."

Abstract
This paper explains that once the geographic range of the Giant Panda extended throughout Burma, Vietnam and particularly southern and eastern China as far north as Beijing; today the remaining tatters of China's bamboo forests support only about 1,000 wild pandas in the mountains of central China's Sichuan Province, high in the mountains, shrouded in heavy clouds with torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year. The author points out that scientists have debated for more than a century whether giant pandas belong to the bear family, the raccoon family or a separate family of their own; recent DNA analysis indicates that giant pandas are more closely related to bears. The paper relates that scientists are conducting research in order to preserve the panda through the study of infant development and mating behaviors such as the importance of urine scents similar to dog mating.
From the Paper
"The newborn panda weighs barely a quarter of a pound, even though the mother weighs typically two hundred pounds. Most mammals, with which we are familiar when born find their way to the nipple to nurse. The panda mother cradles her baby against her body "so it can snuggle into her warm fur and feed" much like an ape. Immediately upon giving birth, the mother panda fasts for days, devoting all her time to the newborn. An interesting fact about the birth of twins, which happens about fifty percent of the time, is that the mother chooses one and lets the other die. Scientists believe that is due to the care the frail infant requires and the mother can only provide for one."

Abstract
This paper discusses how historic preservation is taken up by smart governments in order to revitalize not only the structures, but also the economy. The state government of Florida and the local government of Tallahassee, Florida, are specified for the study by the author. The paper first identifies the role of government in devising legislation regarding historical preservation. Next, it identifies the reasons why governments should be interested in historic preservation measures. This is followed by an overview of historical preservation efforts in the state of Florida. Later, a case study of Tallahassee, Florida, is mentioned in regard to the preservation efforts keeping legislation that applies to the case study in view.
Outline
Introduction
The Role of Government
Government Interest in Historic Preservation
Historical Preservation in Florida
A Case Study of Tallahassee, Florida
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The state government?s role in preservation efforts is substantial. The role of government can be established by the investment made by the state into historical preservation. If the state government had not recognized the economic importance of historical preservation, no investment would have been made. This would have translated into no new creation of jobs in the state, and lower quality of life ascribed by less or no reinvestment. Thus, the importance of the role of the state government in historical preservation should not be minimized."

Preserving the Wilderness, 2006.
Argues for the need to preserve the world's wilderness as these areas are a haven for habitat and biodiversity not found anywhere else on earth.
1,975 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 62.95
»

Abstract
Our entire society is governed by consumerism and competition and in order for our economy to thrive, our appetite for prosperity must continually grow. The paper argues that it is for this very reason that we must take wilderness protection very seriously. As a commercial society we are dependant on our abundance of natural resources and our common wealth of public land to fuel our ever-growing population. The paper argues that even if the average person never visits a pristine forest, their quality of life is seriously affected by its preservation.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Why Protect Wilderness?
Wilderness as a Resource
Biodiversity
Wilderness as a Laboratory
The Arctic Refuge; An Urgent Risk
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Perhaps a fundamental importance of wilderness lies in its ability to provide a basis for understanding the effects of our current land-use practices. Wilderness offers us "an ecological laboratory" (Miller, 199) where it is possible to examine nature as it was meant to function. Multiple use approaches to land management and other attempts at conservation may well be practical solutions towards preserving wilderness. However, without being able to compare our practices to an area of land that has not been managed or disturbed, it would be almost impossible to judge the difference. In addition, the National Resource Defiance Council, or NRDC, claims that half of our public lands are home to endangered or threatened species. Unspoiled wilderness provides a habitat in which both nature and evolution can progress without disruption."

Preserving the Self-Interests of The Founding Fathers, 1998.
A position paper arguing that the Founding Fathers were more intent on preserving their self-interests, when they wrote the U.S. Constitution, than preserving democracy.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 3 sources, $ 24.95
»

From the Paper
"The American Constitution of 1787 established both a lasting government for the United States and, contemporarily, the most democratic government in the world. Nevertheless, it would be a grave logical fallacy to conclude that the Founding Fathers supported extreme democratization of American society merely because democratization was the result of their actions. Rather, the Founding Fathers shrewdly protected their own interests while drafting the Constitution. The Constitution epitomized self-interest of the Founding Fathers."

Tribal Art Preservation, 2007.
An analysis of the issues surrounding the preservation of tribal art.
1,903 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the complicated issue of the preservation of tribal artwork. It discusses whose responsibility it is to preserve the artwork. It then discusses how indigenous people can be compensated for preservation efforts, or if they should be compensated at all. Finally, the paper concludes that the preservation of tribal art may be misguided attempts to control and manipulate cultural productions by removing artistic productions out of their cultural context and turning them into products that can be consumed by Western audiences.
From the Paper
"But let's imagine that there exists an institutional framework or bureaucratic organization with the resources to undertake such a monumental task of artistic identification. There would still be additional problems to consider. In Indonesia, for instance, there are numerous political and cultural obstacles facing the emerging push for preservation. Communication in the nation is lackluster. Identifying and controlling all potential tribal art among the indigenous people is a task best left to the imagination. The infrastructure simply does not yet exist to properly compensate indigenous artists and craftsmen, let alone stem the tide of black-market deals and random destruction. Yet this is exactly the circumstances in which we hope to be able to control and manage the preservation of indigenous artwork."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the history and evolution of the giant panda, which is native to China. It then explains its physical features and characteristics and looks at its habitat, behavior, and diet. It then discusses the panda's reproduction and breeding habits and, in turn, the threat it faces from extinction. The writer explores various conservation efforts currently in play in an attempt to save the giant panda.
From the Paper
"The endangered giant panda of China has been both culturally important and economically profitable to the Chinese for over two thousand years. Exclusive to the mountainous regions of central China, and only known to the western world since the late nineteenth century during the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the panda population has steadily dropped due to population expansion limiting their staple of bamboo, and illegal poaching as they are valued on the black market in live trade and for their unique pelts. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 pandas exist in the wild today."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reveals that real estate is the most advantageous investment because it tends to act as a counterweight to inflation, it is not normally effected by the conditions on Wall Street and it generates a higher yield than a savings account or bonds. The paper focuses on the use of real estate in a preservation of capital strategy. The research explores residential and commercial real estate, real estate investment trusts (REITs), real-estate mutual funds and home builder stocks. The paper discusses the manner in which they can be utilized in a preservation of capital investment strategy.
Outline:
Abstract
Chapter I: Introduction
Chapter II: Literature Review
Chapter III: Methodology
Chapter IV: Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations
From the Paper
"Preservation of Capital is defined as an investment strategy that has as a primary goal preventing the loss of the total value of an investment. The use of a capital preservation means that investors must guarantee their portfolios are generating a return that is at a minimum equal to inflation. The research also found that real estate serves as great portfolio investment because it is a counterweight to inflation. The literature asserts that most financial planners and investment managers alike recommend that individual portfolios consist of 5% and 20% real estate investment that does not include the investor's primary residence. In addition the research found that companies began increasing real estate investments in the 1980's and today a substantial percentage of many business investment portfolios are composed of real estate investment."

Preserving the Species, 2004.
An argument in favor of preservation of species.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents an argument favoring the preservation of species, from a philosophical viewpoint. The position argued posits value on individual members of species in a manner that merits a moral duty to protect them.
From the Paper
"According to Rolston, it is admittedly difficult to pinpoint precisely what a species is and there may be no single quintessential way to define species. Despite the complexities involved in fashioning an absolute definition of species for the purposes of this analysis, species will be defined according to the biological definition. Species are groups of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups. Perhaps even more complex than a definition of species is the answer to why and under what circumstances we should preserve endangered..."

Preservation of Library Materials, 2002.
A look into the technology behind the preservation of paper library materials.
2,314 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance and value of the preservation of library materials. It then discusses how this is done, including the technological process. The writer further examines how this process has evolved and advanced over time.
From the Paper
"Since the beginnings of the library system in the United States, many methods have been devised for the preservation of library materials, such as books, manuscripts, autographs and related ephemera, prints, maps, paintings, photographs, movie film, sound recordings and videotape/DVD's. Some of these specialized techniques have been highly successful, while others have often failed to preserve certain items in their original, pristine conditions. As Caroline Horton points out, items of special value held in library collections "require the skills of trained conservators, for the vast majority of materials deteriorate rapidly" (167), not to mention the skills and talents required to preserve common items that are usually part of the circulating system of any public or academic library."

From the Paper
"According to a story told in China, the giant panda was once all white. Then one day a little girl saw a panda being attacked by a leopard. The girl tried to rescue the panda, but the leopard leaped on her and killed her. The panda escaped but was filled with grief for the girl, and he summoned all the world's pandas to come to her funeral. The sorrowing pandas wore black arm bands, hugged their bodies for consolation, and pressed their arms against their ears to muffle the cries of the mourning. The color from their arm bands dyed their fur, and ever afterward pandas have had black eye patches, ears, arms, and legs and a black band across their shoulders.
These strikingly patterned and dearly loved pandas are now an endangered species. Fossil evidence indicates that the giant panda has been on earth for three million years and once lived in ... "
