To complete the essay, you are required to write (using third-person language only) a
maximum five-page essay addressing the prompts below. You must use the twelve-point font (Times
New-Roman is the most economical with space), default margin settings (or 1″), and double-spaced lines (not 1.5 or 1.75 but 2 in the space setting). You will need to put a lot of thought not
only into the content of the paper, but also into the presentation of your response. Your essay
needs to be written in a single seamless narrative, without rephrasing the questions and without
listing answers in bullets. Draw on assigned readings and classroom lectures only. Do not use
any other sources.
Succeeding at this task means that you will want to employ an economy of words in
tightly constructed sentences and paragraphs. You should write in clear and concise language
that conveys only information that is relevant to the subject. In other words, avoid becoming
bogged down in minutiae, but provide the information necessary to show that you have a
comprehensive understanding of the reading materials. When you respond to the questions,
always think in terms of historical significance and draw on the course readings that cover
the period that you are asked to discuss. Organize your paragraphs thoughtfully, ensuring they
introduce a main point and remain focused on that point.
(Remember to follow the rules in the Grammar and Writing Style Guide.) Write this paper as if
you are writing to educate someone who has no familiarity with this topic or the course readings.
If you quote from one of the readings, either note the author’s name in the sentence or provide
the source title and page number in parenthesis at the end of the sentence. For example:
According to Donald Worster in The Wealth of Nature, “We have no full history of the word, but
its origins appear to lie in the concept of ‘sustained-yield.’” (Note that book titles are put in
italics not in quotation marks. Article and chapter titles are put in quotation marks. Additionally,
a quote within a quote, as “sustained-yield” appears here, is placed within single quotation
marks. This is the only reason for using single quotation marks.)
Questions to Answer:
Discuss the varied and complex meaning of sustainability. This discussion should also
address the meaning of sustained or sustainable yield. What are the problems with
sustainable yield according to Donald Worster and Robert Goodland?
Drawing on the reading from William Cronon’s Changes in the Land, discuss the more
sustainable relationship of New England Indians with the natural world and how the
ecological relationships of European settlers undermined the indigenous way of life.
According to Roderick Nash, what was the traditional western image of wilderness and
how did Romanticism, through art and literature, change that image? Discuss how the
changing images of nature factored into national identity and ultimately nature protection.
Discuss the differences between Gifford Pinchot’s utilitarian conservation and John
Muir’s aesthetic conservation.
What, according to Jennifer Price, had been the complex lesson that has come from the
extinction of the passenger pigeon? (Don’t forget about the connection to natural
resources.)
