Reminders for class on Tuesday, 2/4[edit]

Hi Eric! A quick note to check in and share some reminders. How have the Wiki readings been going? Do you have any questions about them? We will be evaluating Alexander von Humbold'ts Wikipedia page on Tuesday in discussion, so be sure to review the Evaluating Wikipedia article quality brochure. Also, remember that you have two other things due Tuesday: creating a User Page (see mine for an example) and introducing yourself to an online ambassador or another student through their Talk Page. Let me know if you have any questions! --Enstandrew (talk) 18:45, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me.

Article Outline[edit]

David Ehrenfeld is an American professor of biology at Rutgers University and is the author of numerous books, including The Arrogance of Humanism (1978), Becoming Good Ancestors: How We Balance Nature, Community, and Technology (2009), and Swimming Lessons: Keeping Afloat in the Age of Technology (2012). His work primarily deals with the inter-related topics of biodiverty, conservation, and sustainability. He is also the founding editor of Conservation Biology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal that deals with conserving the biodiversity of Earth, and has written for various magazines and newspapers includingThe New York Times,The Los Angeles Times, and Harper's Magazine.

Ehrenfeld attended Harvard University for both his undergraduate studies and for Medical school. He later attended The University of Florida where he received his Ph.D in Zoology. As a professor at Rutgers, Ehrenfeld teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses under the discipline of Ecology. In his tenure, Ehrenfeld has procured a number of teaching awards including the 2011 Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Teacher of the Year.

Throughout his life, Ehrenfeld has written a number of books elaborating on the issues of social ecology and the ever present dangers of technology. In The Arrogance of Humanism, Ehrenfeld states that the arrogance exhibited by today's society is attributed to humans’ over-dependence on technology to solve environmental and social problems. He concludes that the intelligence of humans can simply not solve everything and that until humans accept this fact, society will not truly progress. Similarly, in one of his most popular works, entitled Swimming Lessons: Keeping Afloat in the Age of Technology he denotes the important relationship between technology and the environment as well as how corporate economics play an influential role in how the environment is shaped.

The ideas expressed in these books are consistent with the rest of his works, such as Conserving Life on Earth and Becoming Good Ancestors: How We Balance Nature, Community, and Technology. The underlying themes in all of his literature are linked in some way or another and serve to portray Ehrenfeld's genuine concern for the progression of human society.
