The Lewis Thomas Prize winner most certainly took advantage of using his own struggles of understanding science to portray how he isn’t so different from his ordinary readers. “When I came to college from my Ohio home town, the most intellectually unnerving thing I discovered was how wrong many of my assumptions were about how the world works—whether the natural or the human-made world” (Gawande 2). He creates a link between the audience and himself via building a sense of relation in which people will be more…
Similar to Emerson, Muir also writes the sequence of events in a cause-effect manner where the outcome of one event stems the cause of the subsequent event. This writing style serves to control the speed of the reader's thoughts and allows for a deeper appreciation of what the author is trying to portray much like that of Emerson’s aspect towards nature and writing style. In Muir’s instance, Muir is trying to exemplify the idea that nature is the creation of God and therefore a direct connection to higher powers. This connection to religion and the idea that God controls all things further reinforces the Emersonian idea every action and event in nature is preordained by God and that it is man's duty to learn from his inventions while highlighting…

Shark Bay is an embayment approximately 13,000 km2 in area and located on the Peron Peninsula on the West Coast of Australia, approximately 850 km from Perth. In 1991 Shark Bay was assigned World Heritage status (Smith, Lee & Newsome, 2006). Relatively few and low impact recreational activities are available to visitors in Shark Bay, with only two boats operating wildlife-viewing tours near Monkey Mia (Burgin & Hardiman, 2015). Studies estimate that Monkey Mia alone comprises 20–42% of the local Shark Bay economy (Stoeckl, Smith, Newsome, et al., 2005). Researchers have noted that much of the current marketing approach focuses on the dolphin experience only, with few other features of the area being promoted or marketed. This is something local tourist operators have expressed concern about previously (Smith,…

Darion and his crew had been sailing for days trying to find the island of the sea queen. They needed her help and guidance to find the gold before the mad Captain Gray. Darion held his telescope to his eye for what felt like the hundredth time today. Looking through the glass, he skimmed over the horizon, praying for the sight of land. Finally, there is the distance he spotted an island. “Land ho!” he shouted to the crew. Several men ran to the side of the ship and pointed across to the island. Darion could hardly make out what they were pointing at, but with his telescope he had a clear view of the image. It was a stone castle standing tall and shadowing over the south coast of the small island. Darion hoped it was where they would find the mysterious and Sea Queen his father always spoke of.…
