    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1988
    One of the legends that has made many of us more than a little nervous about bats claims that they are prone to crashing into you and getting caught in your hair. Scientists say that is just a myth, but do we really believe them when they say that? Last week I got a chance to test the theory – and my nerve.

    Grasses are generally considered by those who have never really looked at them, to look very much the same - tall, skinny green leaves, a bit of fuzzy inflorescence at the top, and if the only grass you see is on your lawn, then even less of interest is visible. But grasses, even very common ones, come in a great variety of shapes and sizes, vary greatly in habit, and have many different uses as well.

  18. Farragher, Elaine: Preparing for Winter
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1988
    For me, autumn is a time of intense excitement, even more so than spring. Like spring of course, it is a season of dramatic change, but unlike spring, which brings with it a sense of relief, of have "made it" through the winter, autumn has an aura of imminent danger, of bracing oneself for the onslaught ahead.
  19. Farragher, Elaine: Spring Woods
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1988
    With the arrival of spring, I am always impressed by the great regularity of nature. Like little automatic springs hidden in the ground, green things start to appear in wonderfully predictable succession, one after another, inching their way up, unfolding in slow but deliberate renewal of life. Actually, most of the time I feel as if it is anything but slow, that if my attention wanders for a day or two to other things, I will suddenly notice that a tree I had been watching is suddenly in full leaf and I have completely missed the process of it coming out. For the spring season is regrettably short.

    Stereotypes to the contrary, most nature lovers are not hardy explorers who strike off into the bush with little more than a compass, a notebook, and the indispensable container of insect repellent. I know that I am definitely a stick-to-the-path nature lover.
  22. Farragher, Elaine: The Tree of Life
    Cedars
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1988
    The Eastern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis) is indeed a hardy species. Although slow-growing, it is inexorable once it gets under way, for it has few enemies. While other trees are being devoured by voracious insects, or debilitated by disease, the cedar grows merrily on, unbothered. While this water-loving tree may get rather brown if it doesn't get enough moisture, it can still manage to survive, especially if the soil is somewhat alkaline.

  30. Feeley, Dianne: Reproductive Rights Today
    Against The Current vol. 126
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2007
    It's clear that women can make intelligent decisions for their lives when they are supported in their goals and encouraged to consider their full range of options. This begins with reproductive freedom, but needs to include access to education and health care, the right to a decent and meaningful job, the right to have a family and to raise children in a safe environment. It includes quality day care for parents who need it, as most do. No matter how many obstacles the radical right attempts to put in front of women, women have an objective need to circumvent them.

    Frank critiques the accepted notion that economic development occurs in a succession of capitalist stages. Instead, so-called underdeveloped countries may be understood by looking at the economic relationship with now developed metropolitan countries. The expansion of capitalism has penetrated even the most isolated sectors of the underdeveloped world. Uneven global development and the persistence of commerical capitalism in the underdeveloped world are, in fact, characteristic of the global extension and unity of the capitalist system.
