Salve Regina University Tree Inventory and Management Plan 2012
Get PDFThe Bartlett Inventory Solutions Team from Bartlett Tree Experts conducted an inventory of trees on the campus of Salve Regina University in May 2012. The inventory included: identifying trees and attaching to each tree a tag with an assigned tag number; identifying the trees\u27 condition, health, and vigor; recommending risk evaluations and removals of appropriate trees; recommending pruning, soil management, and pest management treatments to promote tree safety; health, appearance, and longevity; and mapping the trees using GPSr hardware and Geographic Information System (GIS) software.
This digital copy of the plan is redacted. Information about the estimated values of individual trees has been removed, as have maps and lists of the trees with the highest estimated values. Additionally, all appendices have been removed because of their copyright status. The first appendix included material from ANSI A300 (Part 1) - 2008 Pruning, which is available from the Tree Care Industry Association at ANSI A300 Part 1. The other appendices are technical reports that are available directly from the Bartlett Tree Experts site through their Bartlett Tree Experts: Resource Library.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/archives_books/1001/thumbnail.jp
Mind the Gap: An Analysis of the Function of Love in the Works of Tom Stoppard and C.S. Lewis.
Get PDFWriters C.S. Lewis and Tom Stoppard, though philosophically different, both write about love that embodies the natural law.

Stoppard’s The Invention of Love, Arcadia, Rock ‘n’ Roll and The Real Thing will be analyzed using the framework of C.S. Lewis’s book, The Four Loves

Thomas Merton and Jacques Ellul on technology and freedom
No full textThis qualitative analysis examines the thinking of Thomas Merton and Jacques Ellul on the impact that they believe technology and the idea of progress has had on human freedom. The thesis is that for both Merton and Ellul, modern technology itself and an uncritical acceptance of the idea of technological progress potentially inhibits the contemplative life and serves to deprive humanity of the God-given gift of freedom. Examining Merton and Ellul through theological, sociological, and political lenses allows a point-by-point comparison of a number of different ideas that directly relate to the impact that technology has had on the human condition. This comparison identifies commonalities of thought and traces some of the antecedents to their thought. Merton the Roman Catholic and Ellul the Protestant offer remarkably similar conclusions regarding the impact that technology has had on the human condition. As Christians, they provide a distinctly Christocentric view of freedom, and it is against this unique view that the impact of technology and the idea of progress is evaluated. Both men offer a third way, which is an approach that allows one to transcend the grip that the technological society maintains over the individual. They are examples of men not only thinking about the impact that technology has had on human freedom as much as they are individuals firmly committed to living out the ideals that they spent their lives articulating
