Social-Environmental Sustainability For A Better World. Chris Maser's Blog. January 21, 2010. A DEATH VALLEY STORY. THE SALT CREEK PUPFISH. The Valley And Its People. Around five thousand years ago, the Mesquite Flat People came into the valley. They arrived during a wet period and once again lived as wandering bands of hunters who camped low in the valley and on the fans of gravel above the valley’s floor.

Social-Environmental Sustainability For A Better World. Chris Maser's Blog. April 20, 2011. VALLEY OF MY YOUTH. GONE IS THE VALLEY OF MY YOUTH. Even the landscape around my hometown was friendly. Fields and forest, which were connected by swift forest streams that fed meandering valley rivers, surrounded the town. And I was free to wander over hill and dale without running into a no trespassing sign on every gate and seemingly every other fence post. When World War II came along, the seeds of change were...

Social-Environmental Sustainability For A Better World. Chris Maser's Blog. May 4, 2015. THE WATERBED PRINCIPLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.—T. S. Eliot. Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.—Marie Curie.

Social-Environmental Sustainability For A Better World. Chris Maser's Blog. December 3, 2013. DOES SIZE DETERMINE A GIFT’S VALUE?
