The Biosphere
Its Composition,
Transformation
and Motion
(1988) The biosphere is a zone upon the surface of the earth
within which life dwells.
It is marked by altitudes, depths and latitudes.
The biosphere is defined by the mutual presence
of essential substances (like water), energies (heat and light) and patterns
and / or the lack of obstruction and confounding
of essential communication within and between organisms.

The ECOsphere
The Changing Global Climate
Human Dependence upon Other Life Forms
The Coevolution of Climate and Life
(1988) Environments of the Earth that are sterile or nearly so
mostly fall into one of two categories:
nonaqueous environments,
and noncirculatory aqueous environments.
. . . in small enclosed systems extinction becomes increasingly probable with time because of the small numbers of organisms involved,
the accumulation of metabolic waste products, and the general decrease
in free energy of the system as a function of time.
Continuous circulation negates these factors and, in addition,
permits occasional injections of diverse microorganisms into new environments, to which they may become adapted over many generations.

ECOsystems of the Hydrosphere
Training Course Content - Level Three
(1987) Instructors: Zee Charnoe and G.D.
Course Description
The hydrosphere is a zone upon the surface of the earth within which life dwells. The hydrosphere is the primal source of life on this planet.
Life on the land surfaces are dependent upon life in the water to generate oxygen,
to interact with solar radiation, to yield ozone in the stratosphere.
The zones of the hydrosphere are characterized by their compositions,
their depths, and their latitudes.
The hydrosphere is defined by the mutual presence of essential substances
(primarily water, soluble salts, and particulates), essential energies (heat and light)
and a diversity of interacting and interdependent organisms,
both in and on or around the fluid medium.

(1987) Instructors: Zee Charnoe and G.D.
Course Description
The lithosphere is the solid zone that comprises the surface of the earth.
It is marked by composition, depths, altitudes, and latitudes.
The lithosphere is defined by the presence of essential substances
(primarily inorganic minerals such as carbonates, sulphides,
and oxides and elements such as gold, diamonds, etc.),
water, energy (geothermal and solar) and a diversity of organisms,
both in and on or around the solid medium.

ECOsystems Planning Strategy
Training Course Content
(1988)
Course Description
The intent of this course is to help develop skills
and methods of conceptualizing contexts in which all planning occurs
so that at its least it does not worsen the qualities
of that (environmental) context and at its best these skills and methods
facilitate nature's own ways to recover that essential balance and harmony
with respect to the distribution of its elements
and their dynamic relationships.
This also includes planning for the recovery of environmental balance
and harmony besides planning for development
which is ecologically sustainable.

Developed Awareness
(1987) What happens in our ability to think or to understand
when we coarsely represent the reality in which we live?
Any substance or any form, at any temperature, other than absolute 0o Kelvin,
can be said to be so hot, or so cold.
It is all in the viewpoint.
The viewpoint affects our thought, our understanding,
because the viewpoint is created by the reference context.

Training Course Content - Level Two
(1987) Course Description:
To be involved in the provision of food, as a Life Essential,
it is necessary to know what foods to choose
which contain all of what we need to, in appropriate quantities and ratios,
and it is necessary to know what we need to exclude.
Good nutrition provides the six essential classes of substances
we need to intake:
Water Minerals Carbohydrates Proteins Fats Vitamins Air

(1987) Learning to Learn
We want to look carefully at the course titles
and notice how our understanding of those course titles changes
over the weeks, even over the hours of the day.
The course with the longest title is
Observation and Measurement, Data,
Information and Knowledge Processing,
Communication and Computer Literacy.
The other two course titles:
ECOsystems in the Atmosphere and
ECOsystems in the Hydrosphere,
provide the targets of observation and measurement.
These two courses provide the data, the information
and the knowledge content of much of our learning,
but we are also, in a sense, learning to learn.

Because each of these scientists contribute concepts or ideas
which are related and linked within this document.
Human activity is affecting the period of rotation of the earth.
The composition of the atmosphere affects the period of rotation of the earth. Human activity is affecting the composition of the atmosphere.

(1988) Everything alive grows somewhere, sometime.
The hundreds of thousands of species of plants we know about
flourish at a wide range of latitudes and altitudes.
These species inhabit environments from tropical to arctic latitudes,
from the deserts and savannahs to the alpines, in altitude.
Each of these environments are characterized
by ranges of temperature, humidity, periods of light and darkness,
and soil types.

(1987) Each learner, each student, and we are all students, brings to this exploration - different references, different kinds and degrees of familiarity
and different kinds and degrees of orientation.
Some of those references are more relevant than others.
Part of each learner's orientation is more relevant than other parts.
But it may be that seemingly irrelevant references and orientations
are the source of fresh metaphor, live analogy and meaningful allegory.
You are to be encouraged to submit them, when they come to mind.
No matter how remote the association, it will either benefit all,
will benefit some, it may only benefit one other
or else it will show the kinds of associations at work within you.

(1989) Among the most enlightened writings on sociology and sociobiology,
the question of Western Civilization tends to centre
on the source of morality for human kind.
Two sources, considered alternatives, are ideals and nature.
Plato is regarded as the advocate of idealism.
Aristotle is regarded as the advocate of nature.
In modern terms nature is biology.

(1988) In one sense, both the organic and the hydroponic occurs in nature,
in the rainforests.
What is organic?
In the sense of crop production, organic means:
pertaining to the use of compost, manure, and other natural fertilizers
in the cultivation of farms and gardens.
In the general sense, organic means: of and pertaining to
the nature of animals and plants.
Organic in the general sense has to do with the kind
and degree of wholeness, unity and integrity found in the form
and function of a living organism.
This is the coherence, the coordination, the communication
between the member components of a living system that makes it organic.
An organ is a component of a living organism which has a definable function. Organization is the composing of a system so that is has a definable function.
To be organic is to serve the purpose of an organ.

(1988) When the concept of "a culture of employer based education"
was first introduced by the Government of Ontario,
The Minister of Colleges and Universities,
The Honourable Greg Sorbara was the Minister.
He was also given the office of Minister of Skills Development.
The Ministry of Skills Development is devoted to employer based education.
The Honourable Alvin Curling is now Minister of Skills Development.
DOMAIN Environments was one of the early companies
to not only be grant funded for this function,
but ever year the grant funding level has been substantially increased,
due to the outstanding success DOMAIN has achieved.
