Endangered And Threatened Fishes Of The West, James E. Deacon Dec 1979

Endangered And Threatened Fishes Of The West, James E. Deacon

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

The endangered and threatened fish fauna of the United States exhibits problems resulting primarily from habitat modification by man. The evolutionary history of the fauna has left it especially sensitive to biotic interactions. In addition, many forms are of such restricted distribution that the entire taxon can be destroyed by very minor perturbations. The effects of habitat modification on woundfin and roundtail chub in the Virgin River of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada are discussed. Parasitism by Lernea on White River springfish is shown to coincide with population decline in some, but not all, cases. Population declines of Pahrump killifish are …

Endangered Species: Costs And Benefits, Edwin P. Pister Dec 1979

Endangered Species: Costs And Benefits, Edwin P. Pister

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

Biologists are often placed in the difficult position of defending a threatened habitat or animal with vague reasoning and faulty logic, simply because they have no better rationale at their immediate disposal. This places them at a distinct disadvantage and literally at the mercy of resource exploiters and their easily assignable dollar values. Although the initial dollar cost of delaying precluding "developing" may be significant, the long-term benefits of saving the biological entities which might otherwise be destroyed are likewise great and are measurable in concrete terms which society is only now beginning to appreciate. Case histories are presented, a …

“…Of Countries And Of Kingdoms”, Jeffrey R. Holland Jan 1978

“…Of Countries And Of Kingdoms”, Jeffrey R. Holland

BYU Studies

Jeffrey R. Holland, at that time the commissioner of education for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave a luncheon address in connection with a Brigham Young University comparative religion symposium. The symposium was entitled “Deity, Ways of Worship, and Death” and was sponsored by the BYU Religious Studies Center in 1977. In this address, Holland emphasizes that Mormons should embrace light and truth no matter where it may come from. One example he focuses on is the Eastern tradition of meditation; there are numerous scriptural examples of prophets pondering and meditating before they received important revelations. He …

An Analysis Of The Problems In Obtaining And Maintaining Released Time For Seminary In The Central Idaho Seminary District, Arthur A. Bailey

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the problems encountered by Latter-day Saints in establishing released time privileges for the Central Idaho Seminary District. A careful examination of minutes of state and local school boards, of L.D.S.

The major problems were 1) whether released time was constitutional; 2) whether high school credit should be given for religious instruction; 3) getting good ethical men to serve on school boards; 4) creating good working relationships between public school and the seminary; and 5) overcoming the feeling that the …

Perception And Land Use: The Case Of The Mormon Culture Region, Lester D. Campbell Jan 1974

Perception And Land Use: The Case Of The Mormon Culture Region, Lester D. Campbell

Theses and Dissertations

Since the first man perceived and used his environment, there has existed a reciprocal man-land relationship. The physical environment provides opportunities for man's use and also sets limitations. Man's perception and use of his environment is greatly influenced by his culture, which consists of past experience, technology, attitudes, and needs. It is these factors that determine what a man will see as possibilities in land use, and how he will use his environment.

In the case of the relic Mormon Culture Region, Mormon religious beliefs highly influenced perception of the environment. Most visual geographical features of the landscape in the …

Form-Function Relationships In The Development Of Lds Church Architecture, Ebbie Lavar Davis Jan 1970

Form-Function Relationships In The Development Of Lds Church Architecture, Ebbie Lavar Davis

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the functions: ordinances, meetings, programs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the development of the physical plant. Inversely, the effect of Church house forms on the development of Church function was investigated. It was found that:
1. In Latter-day Saint Church development, form has always followed function.
2. Function has influenced form to a great extent. Priesthood, meeting, or other program needs are a prime factor in changing the form and design of Church buildings.
3. Form has influenced function only insofar as the physical …
