Theodore Wirth was a landscape designer and parks superintendent born in Switzerland in 1863. He held several horticulture jobs in Europe before moving to the United States in 1888. In 1906, he became Superintendent of Parks in Minneapolis where he designed the city's park system to incorporate natural spaces and ensure every resident had access to a park within a quarter mile. Under his leadership, the Minneapolis park system became renowned for its beauty and recreation offerings. Wirth retired in 1936 after transforming the city's parks, and two of his sons also went on to careers in parks and conservation.

Measures taken by local autorities
This document summarizes the third meeting of the Comenius Project in Aytos, Bulgaria, which focused on measures to protect the environment. The municipality of Aytos has potential for tourism development thanks to its wooded landscape, mineral springs, and folk traditions. However, it faces issues of pollution from transportation, industry and home heating. Local students have helped address these problems by studying protected species, discovering polluted areas along the Aytos River which they then cleaned up, participating in environmental campaigns, and doing tree planting activities. The meeting highlighted the need for improved waste management and recycling to reduce pollution in the municipality.

Bladder Cancer: profile and drug development
Bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer worldwide, with about 430,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Bladder cancer forms in the layers of the bladder wall and is treated based on how far it has spread. Risk factors include smoking, workplace exposures, age over 55, race, ethnicity, chronic bladder infections, and genetics. New therapies in development aim to inhibit angiogenesis, growth factors, use immunotherapy, and gene therapy to treat bladder cancer.

The Atchafalaya River was originally a small stream flowing from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. In 1839, when a logjam blocking the river was cleared, it allowed the Mississippi to carve a deeper channel through the Atchafalaya River bed. This started the Atchafalaya River's tendency to capture the flow of the Mississippi River and divert it into the shorter route to the sea. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers then developed a plan to control how much water flows from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya River.

Approximately 20 million Americans participated in events across the country. Earth Day raised significant awareness of environmental issues and contributed to the passage of several major environmental laws in the 1970s. Nelson continued to advocate for environmental causes until his death in 2005 at the age of 89.
Ansel adams
Ansel Adams was an American photographer born in 1902 in San Francisco. He is best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park. Adams helped establish photography as an art form and was a founding member of Group f/64, an association of photographers advocating "pure" or straight photography using sharp focus and high depth of field. He produced several books of his work and was a longtime member and director of the Sierra Club, advocating for environmental causes including the preservation of wilderness areas. Adams died in 1984 at the age of 82, leaving a significant legacy as both an artist and environmentalist.
Anna botsford comstock presentation
Anna Botsford Comstock was a pioneering American nature educator. She was born in 1854 and attended Cornell University where she studied languages and literature. She left Cornell when she married John Comstock in 1878. She went on to illustrate many of her husband's publications on entomology. She received her bachelor's degree in natural history from Cornell in 1885. In the late 1890s, she began teaching nature education at Cornell and authored several books on nature studies to train teachers. She retired from Cornell in 1922 but continued teaching in the summer. Comstock was recognized as the mother of nature education and inducted into the National Wildlife Federation Conservation Hall of Fame in 1988.
The elders of the environment
This document discusses several influential environmentalists throughout history including John James Audubon, Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, John Burroughs, Ansel Adams, Aldo Leopold, Paul Ehrlich, Marjorie Stoneham, Edward Abbey, Dave Foreman, Sigurd Olson, Chico Mendes, and David Mech who helped create awareness about environmental issues and shape modern environmentalism.
Forest history and management
The original vegetation of Minnesota consisted of deciduous and coniferous forests. Early European exploration and logging followed the waterways, which were the primary means of travel. The large pine forests located between the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers were heavily logged within 30 years in a non-sustainable manner. This led to catastrophic fires in 1871, 1894, and 1918 that destroyed millions of acres and killed thousands due to poor logging practices and a lack of seed sources to regenerate the forests. After the fires, sustainable forest management practices were implemented, including setting land aside and requiring forest management plans.
Guns germs steel
The document discusses Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel, which aims to explain why Eurasian civilizations dominated globally. It explores how environmental factors led to some populations acquiring an early "head start" in food production and domestication of animals in places like the Fertile Crescent, which indirectly laid the groundwork for technological advances like guns and steel. Natural experiments like those between the Maori and Moriori peoples on different islands show how environments can profoundly shape societies over short periods.
