Robert J. McNamara is a history expert and former magazine journalist. He was Amazon.com's first-ever history editor and has bylines in New York, the Chicago Tribune, and other national outlets.
George Perkins Marsh is not as familiar a name today as his contemporaries Ralph Waldo Emerson or Henry David Thoreau. Though Marsh is overshadowed by them, and also by a later figure, John Muir, he occupies an important place in the history of the conservation movement.
Marsh applied a brilliant mind to the problem of how man utilizes, and damages and disturbs, the natural world. At a time, the mid-1800s, when most people considered natural resources to be infinite, Marsh cautioned against exploiting them.
In 1864 Marsh published a book, Man and Nature, which emphatically made the case that man was doing great damage to the environment. Marsh's argument was ahead of its time, to say the least. Most people of the time simply could not, or would not, grasp the concept that mankind could harm the earth.
Marsh did not write with the grand literary style of Emerson or Thoreau, and perhaps he is not better known today because much of his writing can seem more competently logical than eloquently dramatic. Yet his words, read a century and a half later, are striking for how prophetic they are.
Early Life of George Perkins Marsh
George Perkins Marsh was born on March 15, 1801, in Woodstock, Vermont. Growing up in a rural setting, he retained a love of nature throughout his life. As a child he was intensely curious, and, under the influence of his father, a prominent Vermont attorney, he began to read voluminously at the age of five.
Within a few years, his eyesight began to fail, and he was forbidden to read for several years. He apparently spent much time during those years wandering out of doors, observing nature.
Allowed to begin reading again, he consumed books at a furious rate, and in his late teens, he attended Dartmouth College, from which he graduated at the age of 19. Thanks to his diligent reading and studying, he was capable of speaking several languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian.
He took a job as a teacher of Greek and Latin, but didn't like teaching, and gravitated to the study of law.
Political Career of George Perkins Marsh
At the age of 24, George Perkins Marsh began practicing law in his native Vermont. He moved to Burlington and attempted several businesses. Law and business didn't fulfill him, and he began dabbling in politics. He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Vermont and served from 1843 to 1849.
In the Congress Marsh, along with a freshman congressman from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln opposed the United States declaring war on Mexico. Marsh also opposed Texas entering the Union as a pro-slavery state.
Involvement With the Smithsonian Institution
The most significant achievement of George Perkins Marsh in Congress is that he spearheaded efforts to establish the Smithsonian Institution.
Marsh was a regent of the Smithsonian in its earliest years, and his obsession with learning and his interest in a wide variety of subjects helped guide the institution toward becoming one of the world's greatest museums and institutions for learning.
George Perkins Marsh: American Ambassador
In 1848 President Zachary Taylor appointed George Perkins Marsh as the American minister to Turkey. His language skills served him well in the post, and he used his time overseas to collect plant and animal specimens, which he sent back to the Smithsonian.
He also wrote a book on camels, which he had a chance to observe while traveling in the Middle East. At that time, most Americans had never seen a camel, and his extremely detailed observations of the exotic beasts caught the attention of some Americans with an interest in science.
Marsh came to believe that camels could be put to good use in America. A powerful American politician, Jefferson Davis, who had also been affiliated with the Smithsonian and was serving as secretary of war in the early 1850s, came to agree. Based on the recommendation of Marsh, and the influence of Davis, the U.S. Army obtained camels, which it attempted to use in Texas and the Southwest. The experiment failed, mainly because the cavalry officers didn't fully understand how to handle the camels.
In the mid-1850s Marsh returned to Vermont, where he worked in state government. In 1861 President Abraham Lincoln appointed him ambassador to Italy. He kept the ambassadorial post in Italy for the remaining 21 years of his life. He died in 1882 and was buried in Rome.
Environmental Writings of George Perkins Marsh
The curious mind, legal training, and love of nature of George Perkins Marsh led him to become a critic of how humans were despoiling the environment in the mid-1800s. At a time when people believed the earth's resources were infinite and existed solely for man to exploit, Marsh eloquently argued quite the opposite case.
In his masterpiece, Man and Nature, Marsh made the forceful case that man is on earth to borrow its natural resources and should always act responsibly in how he proceeds.
While overseas, Marsh had the chance to observe how people used the land and natural resources in older civilizations, and he compared that to what he had seen in New England in the 1800s. Much of his book is actually a history of how different civilizations viewed their use of the natural world.
The central argument of the book is that man needs to conserve, and, if possible, replenish natural resources.
In Man and Nature, Marsh wrote of the "hostile influence" of man, stating, "Man is everywhere a disturbing agent. Wherever he plants his foot the harmonies of nature are turned to discords."
Legacy of George Perkins Marsh
Marsh's ideas were ahead of his time, yet Man and Nature was a popular book and went through three editions (and was retitled at one point) during Marsh's lifetime. Gifford Pinchot, the first head of the US Forest Service in the late 1800s, considered Marsh's book "epoch making." The creation of the US National Forests and the National Parks were partly inspired by George Perkins Marsh.
Marsh's writing, however, faded into obscurity before being rediscovered in the 20th century. Modern environmentalists were impressed with Marsh's skillful depiction of environmental problems and his suggestions for solutions based on conservation. Indeed, many conservation projects which we take for granted today could be said to have their earliest roots in the writings of George Perkins Marsh.

Marlin Financial has stopped taking new customers as state investigators scrutinize its business practices.
The online auto lender at the center of a Florida Attorney General investigation has a note on its website that it is "no longer accepting new loan applications" as of the end of September.
The company offered no further explanation and did not elaborate after the Tampa Bay Times contacted its attorney on Tuesday.
A Times investigation published Sept. 14 revealed that Marlin's loan practices apparently broke the law as it stuck consumers with much more debt than expected, charged interest rates above state limits and deprived some customers of access to items in their repossessed cars.
"We need to send a clear message that if you abuse consumers, you will be held accountable," U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-St. Petersburg, said Tuesday in a statement to the Times regarding Marlin's halt.
"A (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) investigation into Marlin Financial will shine an even brighter light on deceptive practices, protecting the people from fraud, and making victims whole again," he said.
Last week, Crist called for the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look into Marlin following the Times' investigation. In a letter to the bureau's director, Mick Mulvaney, Crist said he was "disturbed" by the findings of the Times' report, and urged Mulvaney to investigate further for violations under federal law.
Marlin is still an active company in Florida business records, and still has an active consumer finance company license with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.

Choosing the correct mattress and size of bed is important with sleep essential to function properly. The more space you have and support which is suitable for you, the better night's sleep you are likely to get. A mattress is ideally about 15cm longer than the tallest person to allow for the wrap of the sheets and duvet and give some space between your head and the headboard. Where possible we would also recommend you maximise your bed size to the available bedroom space particularly when sharing with someone. Our experienced staff at Robinsons Beds are happy to discuss your needs and advise you on specific requirements e.g. the best mattresses for a heavier person or for someone with a sore back.
The sizes below are for standard UK mattresses and divan beds. Please note mattress and bed sizes can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and country to country. It is worthwhile checking your exact bed and mattress sizes before ordering to ensure the perfect fit. For accuracy of measurements it is best to use the metric sizes and remember the bed frame may be larger than the actual space available for the mattress.
We can also make you any bespoke made to measure odd size mattress or bed for a small additional cost, just contact us with your requirements on 0141 632 1384 or email sales@robinsonsbeds.co.uk for a quote.

Despite the fact that his father was once the president of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, Somnath joined the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and remained a key leader of the party between 1968 and 2008. He was the first Left leader to occupy the chair of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
Somnath Chatterjee was expelled from the Communist Party of India-Marxist on 23 July 2008, "for seriously compromising the position of the party" after he refused to resign as the Lok Sabha Speaker when asked by the party leadership.

Libs bank on anger subsiding in Wentworth
Liberal candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma - AAP
The Liberal candidate for Wentworth, Dave Sharma, believes voter anger has subsided after the "traumatic" dumping of then-prime minister and local MP Malcolm Turnbull and he's hoping party supporters will return to the fold on Saturday.
But Independent MP Kerryn Phelps believes the anger that fuelled her by-election win in October is still bubbling below the surface in the Sydney seat.
Dr Phelps wrestled Wentworth from the Liberals for the first time in the electorate's history after campaigning on climate action and better treatment for asylum seekers detained offshore.
Seven months after the historic loss, Mr Sharma says much of the anger directed at the Liberal party has subsided.
"There was definitely a noticeable mood of anger and resentment in the electorate last time towards the Liberals, towards us as a party, because of the leadership instability and the turmoil," Mr Sharma told AAP.
"(But) some of that feeling has dissipated, as you would expect."
Mr Sharma is hoping the low by-election voter turnout - 76 per cent - suggests many traditional Liberal voters stayed at home, too angry to vote for the party, but not willing to support anyone else.
"I suspect the people who stayed away were probably traditional Liberal voters who were just too angry to come and vote," he said.
"Undoubtedly some voters are still annoyed or irritated by that, we lost some of those voters obviously at the by-election and I'm not counting on us getting any of them back, but I'm trying my best to."
Wentworth had a voter turnout of 86 per cent in the 2016 election - the fifth lowest in Australia.
Dr Phelps argues the anger with the Liberal party hasn't dissipated.
"The anger is still there but it has shifted from the removal of Malcolm Turnbull (in August 2018) to the lurch to the far right of the Liberal party in the intervening six months," Dr Phelps told AAP.
"There is a very big focus on the environment, and that is broadly around action on climate change, and a lack of action by the two major parties."
The sitting MP expects to lose some support from traditional Liberal voters who temporarily changed their colours in October but is putting her faith in a strong youth vote.
Dr Phelps has been working with fellow independents Zali Steggall in Warringah and ex-Liberal Julia Banks in Flinders.
"We're sharing experiences and advice, yes, and observations," she said.
"It's remarkable how shared values can bring people together."
Labor candidate Tim Murray says Dr Phelps' only chance of retaining Wentworth lies in the youth vote.
"Unless we get youth out, it's Dave Sharma," he told AAP.
"Enough of the previous Liberal voters who protested will go back ... they've done their protest and they're coming back."

The Advanced Placement program lets you stick your toe in university waters. At George School, AP courses range from computer science to studio art. And it's all hands-on, minds-on, real-world stuff. In AP Calculus, you solve problems, not because you've been explicitly shown how, but because you've learned to think like a mathematician and figured it out. In AP Biology, the tools that teach you about hearts and lungs and livers smell of formaldehyde, not printer's ink. Your photography course gives you more than a grade. It gives you a portfolio.
All this means you'll be ahead of the game when you really get to college. You'll know how to study better, research better, think better. And since many colleges and universities give you credit for AP courses, you'll have some of your prerequisites out of the way, giving you time and energy to delve deeper into electives.
AP courses also help you in the increasingly competitive college admission process. Taking them shows that you're curious, motivated and hardworking—characteristics colleges look for, characteristics that will give you a leg up.

Q: Is there any value in the following observation? In the modern interpretation of differential geometry a tangent vector is identified as a derivation: $\frac{\partial}{\partial x}$.
In Quantum Mechanics, momentum - which is classically understood as a vector $p$ is promoted to an operator  $-i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial x}$.
Is there some connection between these two - on the face of it - different concepts?
That this isn't a straight-forward translation of concepts can be seen from the fact that position, which classically is also a vector is promoted to a multiplication operator and not a derivation.

Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel to head Venice film fest jury
Rome - The Venice Film Festival on Monday named Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel as jury president for this year's main competition.
Martel is a niche film-maker who has made four movies, most recently 2017's "Zama." This year, she directed "Cornucopia," an elaborate New York concert show by Icelandic singer Bjork.
Venice festival director Alberto Barbera hailed her as "Latin America's most important female director, and one of the top worldwide."
Her films are "dedicated to exploring the mysteries of female sexuality and the dynamics of groups and classes," Barbera said in a statement.
"It's an honour, a responsibility, and a pleasure to be a part of this celebration of cinema, of humanity's immense desire to understand itself," Martel was quoted as saying in the same statement.
Venice hosts the world's oldest film festival, established in 1932, and this year's edition is scheduled to run from August 28 to September 7.

Roger Whitson has served a partial term, but lost last time around.
�The people have spoken,� he said. �I feel really good. � I think it shows, once again, that with Bobby Taylor being reelected that some folks are listening to the issues � the growth of the town and solid management of the community.�

Explosive Kolbe will pose massive threat: Edwards
Wales v South Africa, Rugby World Cup Semi-Final, Yokahama, Sunday, 9.00am
By Andrew Baldock
October 23 2019 11:00 AM
Shaun Edwards has likened South Africa dangerman Cheslin Kolbe to England World Cup winner and try machine Jason Robinson.

Rugby round up Newsletter
Game previews, plus expert insights and exclusive commentary from the Belfast Telegraph sports team.
The 5ft 7in Springboks wing presents a huge threat to Wales in Sunday's World Cup semi-final clash having scored seven tries in 13 Tests and added an extra attacking dimension to South Africa's physical approach.
"If you want to watch a game of rugby, you want to go and watch Cheslin Kolbe," Wales defence coach Edwards said. "We will have to keep an eye on him. He is one of the most dynamic players I've ever seen.
"I was lucky enough to play with Jason Robinson for many years. I was his captain at Wigan when he first came into the team. Kolbe is a similar player to Jason - incredibly explosive, short and defies the fact that you have to be big to play rugby.
"Out wide, (South Africa) have got incredible speed. If there was a 4x100m relay race with all the teams in the World Cup, they would be the fastest. They've got blowtorch speed on the edges."
Cardiff Blues wing Owen Lane, meanwhile, has been called into Wales' World Cup squad as replacement for injured back-row forward Josh Navidi.
The 21-year-old made his Test debut during Wales' World Cup warm-up games, and scored a try against Ireland in Cardiff.

The Welsh Rugby Union confirmed Lane was due to arrive in Japan, with Navidi sidelined for the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
For Edwards, Sunday's game will be his second World Cup semi-final as part of Wales' coaching staff, having seen France edge them 9-8 in 2011.
"This is where you want to be," he added. "If you are not excited by this, you are in the wrong game."

If You Have Fears Of Recession 2022 for Retail, Take Hope
November 22, 2022 Merrie Sindel
You can't open your browser without someone somewhere scaring you about an upcoming cataclysmic recession.
A bit of education. Recessions last between two and 18 months, with an average of 10 months. By definition, we are already in one with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, although the National Bureau of Economic Research has yet to call it a recession. In fact, at the end of October, the U.S. GDP accelerated at a 2.6% pace, better than expected, as growth turned positive.
Yet many see the need to call out recession – it's mostly clickbait. Others use the R-word as a chance to burnish their bona fides. I write this to create some balance between fear and misinformation.
Will Stores Be Successful During Inflation?
Typically, employment and demand go down during a recession. But 2022 is not like 2008.
We had an economic event with the coronavirus pandemic.
Demand for many products went up while manufacturing went down.
The government flooded the economy with money even though people were limited in their ability to buy and travel.
As stores, hotels, travel, manufacturing – heck, everyone – reopened, they found fewer people willing to work.
That effectively made wages go from a $7 minimum at my local McDonald's to $15 overnight (pic).
The only answer to that was to raise prices.
And then Putin entered Ukraine, and we were off to the races with the oil scarcity.
Here's the thing, we've been through massive recessions before. But in each of those, demand dropped, and so did employment.
Many people have side hustles and work remotely. Many have income not recorded by payroll stats. How else can you explain sales continuing to go up?
Most businesses are threadbare; adding and training people is their only way to convert more lookers to buyers if demand drops. You would think luxury would be the first category to show softening. But look again…
Luxury is having the time of its life, with Hermes and LVH reporting huge sales and pricing increases due to scarcity. And they're raising prices again.
That's not to say that people who can hack or thrift aren't sharing the spotlight. A young woman on TikTok showed how a copycat of Kim Kardashian tops for $9 was just as good. Gen Z calls them "dupes." Affordable fashion is all the rage on Tik Tok for young people without disposable income.
But without that disposable income, they aren't retailers' customers.
It is not very likely that if they buy Shein and Depop dresses for $10, they will magically grow to want to pay full price for fashion brands.
Does that mean all brands should be doing resale?
Look, Nike reported they have $9 billion in overstock, yet, according to Business Insider, they are opening 200 new stores. They understand they are best positioned to sell their brand.
And Nike isn't the only one opening more stores; according to the Wall Street Journal, retail real estate is enjoying the biggest revival in years.
Yes, Recession fears are real, and prices are still climbing. FedEx announced a rate hike of 7% – the largest in history. But maybe the playbook of what a recession is or could unleash doesn't relate to an economy recovering from a pandemic.
Are retailers going to be letting employees in stores go?
That's unlikely. Target was on record to hire 100,000 seasonal workers, and Macy's their usual 40,000.
What will keep people shopping?
That's a certainty. Since the pandemic years, people crave connection. Connection with their stories, connection with their surroundings, and connection with people.
Retail products are what connect all three.
Here's what you need to create for those shoppers to buy from you, even if we are in a Recession in 2022.
Here's what it looks like…
One of the joys of going to Seattle is visiting the original Nordstroms. I've had good and bad experiences, but I wanted to see if the frontline associates were disengaged since the pandemic and if shoppers were missing.
I was greeted by Maxwell, who knew the brand of jacket I had on, and he engaged me about the new upgrades they were getting. A complete salesperson, he knew his stuff and moved easily around the departments.
At the fitting area, I was introduced to a happy tailor who, when I told him I wanted "kissing buttons" on my new jacket, said, "I've been here 30 years and never heard that." I told him that's what they called them in New York and showed him. He then told me he had retired but asked to return after a few years off because he enjoyed his job at Nordstrom so much.
Koby, another salesman, dressed in a Tom Browne signature coat with what appeared a tie wrapped around the left jacket arm, a pair of stunning kicks, and a colorful shirt came back to the fitting area with a customer. I told him he was the epitome of style. "You could wear it." I told him no. He said, "Style is all confidence, man."
By the time I had to have my pants hemmed, another tailor was ready. Wearing a peach jacket and colorful shirt, he engaged me. I found out from Maxwell he had his own line of clothing. I said you should be on Amazon's Making the Cut, and he said he had been a finalist but got sick!
During my roughly 30 minutes in that area, on a Wednesday afternoon, at 5 pm, three tailors were busy with 6-7 guys buying suits and jackets.
Max shared with me that last year was great to have their regulars come back to get a new jacket for an event. This year they are coming back to update their wardrobes.
This report from the shopping front lines flies in the narrative that the frontline is miserable, no one likes to work in retail, and no one is going to department stores.
Admittedly one store does not make a trend… however, the unremitting fear served to us daily about retail is now just a running narrative.
At my event the previous day, I was asked, "Do you think we are headed for a recession?"
I said there are always ups and downs and for every person who cuts way back is another who doesn't. "We're at this show, and all our vendors are telling us to cut back because there will be a recession next year."
And that's how it happens, my friends. People fear the worst, cut orders, drop demand, and it becoming reality.
Yes, there is still ground to make up, as visits to malls of various types showcase resiliency, according to Placer.ai.
But make no mistake, this is not the start of a retail Armageddon…
We see high demand across categories, and there are not enough people working.
Nothing is the same as in 2008, and payroll data alone doesn't tell the story because fewer incomes can be tracked.
People have shifted and are moving, working remotely, and are self-employed.
How else can you explain my weekend visit to Park City mall in Allentown, PA? Groups of Gen Z shopping at the mall in a rural location. Holding bags of purchases in groups of three or more. All ages. All ethnicities. All coming to the mall.
Or how about Lambertville, New Jersey, filled with Halloween-themed decorations city-wide? Stores were full, restaurants were full, and shoppers had bags of treasures they were taking home.
If you have fears of a recession for retail, and if we are already technically in one, could this instead be the start of a new normal of opportunity in retail?

The constantly altering mortgage market usually creates a complicated spectrum of alternatives for consumers. By obtaining a general comprehension of the sorts of home loan products available as well as the advantages present in each, the buyer gains the capacity to select the right choice. Perhaps one of the most well-known forms of funding is the 20 year fixed mortgage, offered by a number of financial institutions. This loan option provides distinct advantages over other services and products.
Just like other fixed term financial loans, the interest rates on this plan will remain continual for lifetime of the mortgage. Once a payment quantity is established in addition to loan issued, the borrower is guaranteed that each payment per month is identical for two decades. On longer term financial loans such as for instance a 20 12 months and 30 year fixed, repayments through the first few many years go mainly toward spending the interest. Very little of principle is truly compensated until much later on when you look at the term. In many cases, additional payments are placed on the principle or perhaps the entire loan might be prepaid before the end of loan duration.
The standard rule when comparing mortgage plans is that a longer term loan will typically have a higher rate of interest than a smaller term. As an example, a 30 12 months fixed loan might be offered by 4.90per cent, a 20 year at 4.75percent and a 15 12 months at 4.50per cent. These prices continuously fluctuate nevertheless they often follow this design. The cause of this is by using a longer term loan the lender has the capacity to gather even more income over time. A borrower may save your self thousands in the end by choosing a shorter term loan. The drawback into the borrower, but is the fact that the monthly premiums tend to be greater and qualifying can be more difficult. A 20 12 months fixed mortgage are an excellent compromise for consumers who desire a lowered payment per month than a 15 year loan provides but wish the flexibility of completing the payments in a shorter time than the 30 year programs. Equity accumulation from a 20 12 months fixed mortgage rises faster than a 30 12 months loan.
Other financing choices for home or real residential property loans feature flexible price financial loans. In this case, the debtor assumes the risk of either an increased repayment at some time or a possibly a reduced repayment dependent on marketplace problems. Homebuyers that do not want to remain in home for a long period or plan to pay off a loan rapidly might wish to take the risk of an adjustable price home loan. Purchasers who require having a protected payment routine, however, will select a fixed home loan program.
Repayments tend to be consistent for the entire 20 year term.
Rates of interest usually lie between a 15 year. and 30 year. loan.
Payments into the principle boost faster than a lengthier term loan.
Although prices fluctuate to some extent on a weekly foundation, watching general trends and economic conditions allows consumers to make the right choice for financing. Picking a set term loan over a variable interest rate home loan may depend on forecasting just how interest levels are expected to change. Including, during inflationary durations when interest levels jump rapidly that will be volatile, adjustable price financial loans could develop a financial hardship for some consumers. They may discover that the lending company enhanced the mortgage payment because the prime rate jumped. The mortgage repayment may consistently increase or decrease at discernment of financial institution. However, adjustable loans might be attractive with reasonable starting prices enabling first time homebuyers to get involved with a starter house. If loan applicant understands the potential risks and it has plans to either refinance, move or repay the mortgage before a growth they could be a valid option.
In contrast, those consumers holding a hard and fast rate tend to be protected from an increase during economic rising prices. When interest rates have reached an ongoing low trend and forecasted to improve, acquiring a hard and fast mortgage becomes a nice-looking alternative. The downside is that it may be harder to qualify for a 20 year fixed loan than a longer term such as a 30 year fixed due to greater repayments plus strict requirements. This particular loan is an excellent complement borrowers who desire reduced danger and that can comfortably meet with the skills.
