But what does it mean? One of the definitions is: “Ecology is a branch of science which treats the world of nature – including its human component – at certain levels of biological organization.” But … what is Nature? The word nature is over 5000 years old but it has only been used in the English language for 700 years. Since 1300, the word “nature” has been used in the English language to mean “essential qualities and innate disposition” as well as the “creative power in the material world”. Nature most commonly refers to the "natural environment", the Earth's environment or wilderness— including geology, forests, oceans, rivers, beaches, the atmosphere, life, and in general geographic areas that have not been substantially altered by humans. This traditional concept of "nature" implies a distinction between natural and man-made, artificial elements of the Earth. Beauty in nature has historically been a major theme in art and books, filling large sections of libraries and bookstores. That nature has been depicted and celebrated by so much art, photography, poetry and other literature shows the strength with which many people associate nature and beauty. British artist John Constable and later Russian artists Ivan Shishkin and Ivan Aivasovsky turned their attention to capturing the beauty of the natural world in their paintings. Wordsworth’s, Longfellow’s poetry described the wonder of the natural world, which had formerly been viewed as a threatening place. 1. Read the poem and learn it by heart.

Read and translate the quotes about Nature: - Man's heart away from nature becomes hard. ~Standing Bear - I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver - Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are. ~Osho - Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. ~Albert Einstein PART I THE EARTH IS OUR HOME Unit 1 |
