Depictions Of Environmental Destruction By British Colonizers In Ole Kulets “The Hunter” and “Vanishing Herds” by Johnson, Ocan, Francis Akena, Adyanga

“…This article examines the ecological legacy of 70 years of British colonial rule in Kenya and to identify some of the ecological challenges faced by the post-colonial Kenyan state, which are reflected in the rapid depletion of the country's forest cover, the alarming loss of the country's wildlife heritage, accentuated by the threat of poaching and human-wildlife conflict. Central to the ecological challenges facing the country is the colonial dispossession of land owned by indigenous communities, effectively distorting and alienating the communities from their indigenous ecological ethics (IEE). …”

Slope Aspect Differentiation of Pisha Sandstone Slide Erosion and Its Response to Meteorological Factors by REN Yanan, LI Long, ZHANG Shangxuan, ZHANG Yu, ZHOU Xingchen

“…The fitting effect of micro-topographic factors with gully slope retreat rate was superior to that with erosion area and erosion volume. (3) During the period from July to August in the Pisha sandstone area, the importance of meteorological factors affecting the erosion of the shaded slope was temperature>rainfall>solar radiation>relative humidity>wind speed. For the sunny slope, the order was temperature>relative humidity>wind speed>rainfall>solar radiation. …”

The Cultural Science of Consumption: Brains, Networks, and Identities by Herrmann-Pillath Carsten

“…The paper proposes a general theory of consumer behaviour in ‘social network markets’ – where individual choices are determined by the choices of others – by conceptualising such markets as examples of distributed cognition; itself part of an ‘externalist’ perspective on human identity. The paper goes on to consider the issues raised by this move, by working through the implications of a distinction between the ‘object self’ (or evaluating agency) and the ‘acting self’ (or implementing agency), a distinction that is required to account for apparent failures of choice within an individual. …”
