The position and complexity of plant leaves are two of the first characters to look at when identifying plants. All species of maple in the preserve have simple leaves.

Some stems perform the function of storage of food, support, Protection and of vegetative propagation. The leaf is a lateral generally flattened structure borne on the stem. The leaves develop from the nodes. Their main function is photosynthesis and food m…

Montaigne’s Essays are rightfully studied as giving birth to the literary form of that name.

"Why do we think differently from one another? Why do religious people adhere to their faith even against reason, whilst atheist thinkers label it “nonsense”? Why do some judges turn more to moral values and others less? Why do we attach different meanings to the same words? These questions can be tackled on psychological or sociological levels, but we can also analyze the subjects on the e…

“Every written work,” Giorgio Agamben opens the preface to Infancy and History, “can be regarded as the prologue (or rather, the broken cast) of a work never penned, and destined to remain so.” Although that observation applies to any work of writing, the exemplary case is that of a work of philosophy. While every written work is put to work in its nonexistent successor, a work of philo…
Even in adversity, Catholics exercised considerable agency in post-Reformation Utrecht. Through the political practices of repression and toleration, Utrecht’s magistrates, under constant pressure from the Reformed Church, attempted to exclude Catholics from the urban public sphere. However, by mobilizing their social status and networks, Catholic Utrechters created room to live as pious Cath…

Which is a good thing, because Norway can be confusing at first - and Norwegians are a very odd people - they are walking paradoxes! Norwegians consume more coffee per capita than any other country on the planet, and read more papers than any other people in the world. So on the one hand we’re a nation of wide-awake, extremely well informed people. On the other hand, some Norwegians enjoy liv…

Where we go is affected by the means of transportation. A com…
