"WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL
Introduction
Rocky Mountain Arsenal was a United States Army industrial site used as a production facility for chemical weapons, nerve gas, and artillery shells. The facility was leased later to a private sector firm that used the facility to produce a commercial pesticide. The Arsenal site was contaminated with hazardous chemicals as a consequence of both the governmental and the private sector activities.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) acquired Rocky Mountain Arsenal and manages the site as a wildlife refuge. The Arsenal has been designated as a ?Superfund? site for cleanup action.
This research (1) provides a location and description of the.."

Abstract
This paper reviews Tracey Kidder's novel, "Mountains Beyond Mountains". The paper discusses questions posed in the book and in so doing, analyzes Kidder's views, as presented in the book. The essay draws heavily upon the Kidder work itself. It discusses, in detail, underlying conditions in developing countries and in Haiti in particular.
From the Paper
"Much like a radio wave, life is a series of repeating peaks and troughs, a succession of failure and success. Tracey Kidder's, Mountains Beyond Mountains is an appropriate adaptation of the Haitian proverb, "-beyond mountains there are mountains." Much like the radio wave metaphor, this proverb elicits a multitude of interpretations, including, as Kidder explains in an interview, "sometimes it's used to express the idea that opportunities are inexhaustible, and sometimes as a way of saying that when you surmount one great obstacle you merely gain a clear view of the next one." In the context of the culture it comes from, this proverb is an important aspect of why Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to insurmountable challenges, only to affect change and lives, no matter what the magnitude."

Abstract
This paper looks at what made Annabel Jankel's and Rocky Morton's 1988 remake of the film noir classic, "Dead on Arrival" so successful, focusing on the modern camera techniques used in the movie.
From the Paper
"It's always hard to remake a movie that has achieved classic status, as is the case with the movie "DOA", but Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton's remake of the film breathes new life into it. The basic question that must be posed to the directors of any remake is "Why bother? Why not make an entirely new movie?" The answer in the case of this film is that the directors have created a new movie out of an established story and have done so in large measure..."

Abstract
This narrative essay describes a couple's nightmarish flight home after a vacation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The story tells about the numerous discomforts and inconveniences that befall the couple on their journey home.
From the Paper
"Our Colorado vacation was beautiful, and everything we hoped it would be, as perfect as the first daffodil in spring. Maybe that's why the return trip was such a nightmare; we just didn't want all that perfection to end. However, end it did, and not with a bang, but with a decided pain in the butt. Our vacation may have been a great time, but our return home was certainly not a Rocky Mountain High, it was a Rocky Mountain low if ever there was one. The next time I head off for Colorado, I think I'll take the train."

The Ogallala Aquifer, 2005.
A geological analysis of this underground reservoir in the Rocky Mountains region.
833 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Created millions of years of ago through geologic action, the Ogallala aquifer is a vast underground reservoir that runs west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. This paper examines the evolution and deposition of the aquifer and discusses problems facing it today.
From the Paper
"The main concern for the Ogallala is the fact that the aquifer has been cut off from most of its natural recharging sources (Ogallala pp). The Rocky Mountains have not supplied the aquifer for more than a thousand years, and the High Plains climate today is classified as semi-arid, receiving only fifteen to twenty inches of rainfall annually, most of which is subject to a high rate of evaporation due to the dry air and high winds (Ogallala pp). Moreover, many of the rivers, such as the Platte, Canadian, and Arkansas, actually drain the aquifer since they have water tables below that of the aquifer (Ogallala pp)."

Abstract
This paper examines how Southern California is dotted with several mountain ranges, including the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, San Jacinto, San Bruno, Santa Rosa, Cuyamaca, the Palomar Mountains, and even the Chocolate Mountains. It provides an overview of the ecosystems in these mountain ranges in general, with an emphasis on the San Gabriel mountain range in particular, what species are endangered within these ecosystems and why, followed by an assessment of what is being done to correct the problem and protect endangered species in these regions. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"This southern California mountain range is something of a geographic interruption to the region, since they surge from the Sonoran desert at sea level to sub-alpine forest areas that are 10,800 feet above. The range ascends through more than six life zones: ?It's remarkable that there's so much wild land there surrounded by development on all sides,? reported Jay Watson, California/Nevada regional director for The Wilderness Society. ?There are mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, and endangered peninsular bighorn sheep, creatures sturdy enough to clamber up cliff faces, yet vulnerable to golf courses and housing tracts creeping up the foothills? (Sullivan-Brennan 2004:56). In addition, there are numerous reptiles in this system; for instance, there are three kinds of rattlesnakes, endangered desert tortoise, and the southern rubber boa."

Status Symbols in the Mountains of Nepal
Gender Roles
Restrictions to Sexual Access
Marriage in Nepalese Culture
Mating Patterns in Culture
Proliferation of the Members of a Culture
Other Factors that Stifle Cultural Development
Procreation in Nepal's Mountain Villages
Modern Threats to Nepalese Culture
Summary
From the Paper
"In order to be able to fully discuss and understand the many aspects of the social, economic and familial customs of the mountain dwellers of Nepal, it is extremely useful to first consider a demographic profile of the Nepalese people. Nepal is a relatively small nation, located in Asia with such huge and powerful neighbors as China. While Nepal is influenced somewhat by the influence of other cultures and its geographic neighbors, in many respects, the mountain villages of Nepal have remained the same as they were thousands of years ago. Many of the agricultural techniques and tools that are used today have not changed to any degree since the Stone Age. These simple people have been able to remain loyal to their roots and traditions and still survive despite many of the changes in other parts of the world."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme was Australia?s largest engineering project ever and how it took 25 years to build with strong multi-cultural work force that included thirty different countries, some being European immigrants made homeless by the Second World War. Its purpose was to divert the largely untapped waters of the Snowy and Tumit into the Murrumbidgee River.
Outline
Introduction
What was the Lead Up to the Snowy Hydroelectric Scheme?
Why Can the Snowy Mountain Hydroelectric Scheme be Considered Such a Success?
From the Paper
"For many years during the dry farmers looked up to the snow capped mountains and watched much of the Snowy and other rivers flow, unexploited into the oceans but it was not until 1944 that the idea of a irrigation/power scheme was viably put forward. Later on in 1947 the Commonwealth, New South Wales and Victorian Governments formed a technical committee to explore viable uses for the Snowy River. In 1949 the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Power Act formed a Snowy Mountains Authority, which was put in charge of the daunting task of designing, building and running a duel Power and Irrigation project."

?The Magic Mountain?, 2005.
Explores Thomas Mann's play, "The Magic Mountain" about the forces of thought imposed upon the people of early twentieth century Europe.
1,541 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 50.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In his play, "Magic Mountain", Thomas Mann expresses the intellectual squalor of the pre-World War I era, that would inevitably lead to violence and destruction. The central protagonist of the tale is a young marine engineer who, taken singularly, is of no particular importance. The paper shows that what makes him-Hans Castorp -significant is what he represents for society: he is the embodiment of humanity, caught between the forces poised to crush individual identity and reduce it to mass conformity. The paper shows that, all together, these forces of thought, to Mann, are mere derivatives of nature, which act to shape each person's mind into a particular archetype. In this way, "The Magic Mountain" is a universal warning to the course of history and of the dangerous capacity of unbound rationality.
From the Paper
"Personally, Castorp comes from a reasonably wealthy bourgeoisie family; and although his parents have both died, he remains well positioned and is "obviously on the way to important positions in his life." (Mann, 54). Largely, this is also a consequence of his association with Hamburg-an emerging port city during the early twentieth century. Symbolically, Hamburg's rising prominence comes at the expense of other, older, and better established cities. Accordingly, Castorp's path to important positions rests on the shoulders of the new age: technologies and industrial might. Additionally, Castorp's occupation makes him poised to build Germany into a naval empire, which is also a drive of the new age. Naval dominance, as seen by many of his time, was the only true way to establish Germany's rightful place within the world."

"Brokeback Mountain", 2007.
A review of Ang Lee's movie "Brokeback Mountain".
1,850 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 0 sources, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"Brokeback Mountain", directed by Ang Lee, is an astounding story about two young men who meet and fall in love in the summer of 1963 while they are working as sheepherders on Brokeback Mountain, in the state of Wyoming. The paper provides an overview of this controversial, Academy award winning film about the lives and feelings of homosexuals which was released in 2005. It discusses the plot and the theme of sexuality that runs through the movie.
From the Paper
"The sadness that they feel is intense as they realize that the feelings that they do have for each other are loving feelings. Both men separate with tears in their eyes, but think in their mind that it is the best thing for the both of them because homosexuality is not accepted in society, especially a country society like Wyoming, where the movie takes place. The tears that the two men cry show the viewer that they really had an emotional relationship and it was not simply "sex"."
