There have been controversies arising from the link between carbon dioxide emission and climate change when it comes to public policy. This paper discusses the reason behind these controversies citing relevant literary materials. According to Solomon et al., (2009) the concentration of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased over the 20th century. This rise in carbon dioxide levels has led also led to rising in the atmospheric temperature due to the formation of a “blanket” on the earth’s atmosphere that traps the heat energy leaving the earth’s surface (Leiserowitz, 2005).

In the first chapters of the book, Cronon gives a description of changes that occurred in land between 1600 and 1800. The author states his thesis statement clearly at the beginning where he says the shift from Indian to European dominance in New England entailed important changes – well known to historians – in the ways there people organized their lives, but it also involved fundamental reorganizations – less well-known to historians – in the region’s plant and animal communities” (Cronon 15).

The book begins with Cronon having a flashback on The View form Walden, which is Henry Thoreau’s commentary showing how…

Explain For work to be considered creative, it must satisfy certain conditions. Creative work must be novel and useful. In other words, it must be unique and highly valued providing a solution to problems. Study of creativity can use psychometric studies of creativity, case studies of creative individuals, historiometric and experimental studies. Also, creativity has many theories, and most of the theories follow certain stages of preparation, incubation, insight, and verification. On the contrary, stages of creativity face several criticisms. For instance, considering the complexity of creativity, it cannot fit into stages. Further the single linear process cannot result in a creative product, but it is the result of many intermediate mini insights informing each other. Also, the two processes of problem formulation and solution are not distinct as old answers create new answers. Further, reworking and revision of ideas are essential to the process. Therefore, the linear model is not appropriate and better than applying a cyclical…

Classical Period Composers Among the three composers of the classical period; Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, Haydn impressed me the most. It is because he started his musical career when he was still young. He began singing in the church choir from where he learned to play various musical instruments. On observing Haydn while on tour to Hainburg, the director of music at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna invited Haydn to serve as a chorister at the Austrian’s capital most important church. Due to his persistence, Haydn made progress in music and eventually he was introduced to Karl Joseph von Furnberg, who was an Australian nobleman from whose home Haydn used to play chamber music. Taking advantage of the instruments he had found there, Haydn wrote his first-string quartets. Furthermore, Furnberg recommended Haydn to be the director and chamber composer for the Bohemian count Ferdinand Maximilian von Morzin.
