Tiff Davis English 102: 10/14 In class lab

1. Using two of the examples, open a word document and compose two sentences including quotations from one of your sources.

David Foot is a Professor of Economics at the University of Toronto Canada with a Doctorate in Economics from Harvard University. In Dr. Foot’s article “Easter Island; A Case Study in Non-Sustainability,” which appeared in the Greener Management International in 2006, he states, “… the most plausible [cause of Easter Island’s collapse] is the non-sustainable use of a crucial renewable resource [wood],” (11). Dr. Foot continues on to note, “The trees also provided a haven and nesting place for birds, which supplemented the islanders’ food…” (15), to further illustrate how deforestation played such a large role in the collapse of Easter Island.

2. Compose two brief paragraphs, each one containing quotations from two of your sources and highlighting the credibility of their authors and indications where each is published.

Paul Rainbird is a Professor in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Whales in Lampeter UK. In one of Rainbird’s articles “A Message for our Future? The Rapa Nui (Easter Island) Ecodisaster and Pacific Island Environments,” which was published in World Archaeology in 2002, he states, “… The famous large carved stone torsos (moai)… represent a physical manifestation of social competition that was a major causative factor in an ecodisaster,” (436). J.D. Hughes [need information on author] elaborates on why the famous stone statues were a factor in Rapa Nui’s ecocide in his article “Easter Island: Model for Environmental History?” by noting “Moving all these masses of stone required the use of the trunks of palm trees, a major cause of forest destruction,” (3).

Co-Authors Terry L. Hunt and Carl P. Lipo [need information on authors credentials] continue with the above argument in their article “Revisiting Rapa Nui (Easter Island) “Ecocide” 1,” noting, “Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has become widely known as a case of “ecocide,” where the ancient Polynesians recklessly destroyed their environment and, as a consequence, suffered collapse,” (601). Dr. David Foot is a professor of economics at the University of Toronto Canada with a doctorate in economics from Harvard University. In Dr. Foot’s article “Easter Island; A Case Study in Non-sustainability,” he points out that “The accumulation of archeological evidence… has resulted in an alternative explanation focusing on environmental collapse [as the reason for Easter Islands demise],” (14).
