Within this vast service area, Mojave Desert Land Trust is the only conservation organization of its kind operating in and for the Mojave Desert. No other organization, public or private, serves to acquire desert land for protection and restoration. Additionally, no other nonprofit Native Plant Nursery exists in the entire region. This is an incredible strength because having its own nursery increases effectiveness and efficiency of restoration efforts and significantly reduces the possibility of foreign plant species invasion, ultimately benefiting a number of threatened and endangered species that exist in the area, including the Desert Tortoise and iconic Joshua Tree. These factors exponentially increase the value of its service.…
In 1879 a 20-year-old man named Sir Henry Mill Pellatt became locally known for beating the amateur world record for running of the mile. This fueled the ambition and aspiration for success that he seemed to have been born with. Little did he know that in just over 20 years he would own the largest private home in North America. By the time he was thirty Sir Henry owned 21 companies. His newfound money and love of art that came from visits to Europe brought the idea of Casa Loma, a Gothic/Medieval style mansion that overlooks Toronto. It took 3 years to build and yet was only lived in for 10 years. However, it is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in Toronto and the perfect setting for weddings and events as well as movie and TV productions. After looking at the it’s history, character and physical features, Casa Loma’s “sense of place” can be easily defined as romantic, beautiful and a little bit tragic.…

A Philosophy of the Idea of Christian Liberal Arts Education Why is it important? I think rather that the Christian college has not sufficiently articulated its educational philosophy, and has not sold the evangelical public or perhaps even its own students and teachers on what it is trying to do…Christian education should not blindfold the student’s eyes to all the world has to offer, but it should open them to truth wherever it may be found, truth that is ultimately unified in and derived from God. It should be a liberating experience that enlarges horizons, deepens insight, sharpens the mind, exposes new areas of inquiry, and sensitizes our ability to appreciate the good and the beautiful as well as the true 1 What is the purpose of higher education? Why should one attend a university and what should he or she hope to come away with when all is said and done? Sufficient answers to these questions and others like them are essential to the educational responsibility of students and teachers alike. For thousands of years, educators, academics and philosophers have wrestled with such inquiries, earnestly struggling to uncover the keys to securing a good education for themselves and those to follow. Some have met the challenge with great success and others to no avail. Unfortunately, in more recent times it seems that less and less thought is being given to the original purpose of education. Or maybe it is not that less thought is given to the matter, but rather that less is being done to help students obtain a good, well-rounded education and understand the purpose of their education. Many students finish high school and head straight to college with no idea where they are, why they are or what they are going to do with themselves. As V. James Mannoia Jr. puts it in Christian Liberal Arts: An Education That Goes Beyond, “Unfortunately for many Americans, college has become a rite…
Many people turn to a Christian college to fulfill their ‘checklist’ of a perfect college. However, a Christian liberal arts education is often misunderstood or underrated. What is the benefit of a school that offers this type of education? Why attend a Christian liberal-arts college? Why does a Christian college even exist? In Arthur F. Holmes’ book, “The Idea of a Christian College”, these questions – and more – are examined and answered. The four main themes I took from Holmes’ book are as follows: there is a distinct niche and purpose for a Christian liberal arts education; faith and learning are integrated and is thus a unique aspect to a Christian college; academic freedom is an integral part of a Christian education; and, the purpose of an education is more than to simply become trained or knowledgeable in one specific subject.…
