The Ecosystems Research Center (ERC) was established at Cornell U
ni versity in October 1980 by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) with the goals of: 1. Identifying fundamental principles and
concepts of ecosystems sci ence and the determination of their
importance in understanding and pre dicting the responses of
ecosystems to stress, the description of the basic mechanisms that
operate within ecosystems, and an examination of the stability of
ecosystem structure and function in the face of stress. 2. Testing
the applicability of those theoretical concepts to problems of
concern to the EPA through a consideration of retrospective and
other case studies. In line with these goals, the Hudson River
ecosystem provided the basis for the first major retrospective
study undertaken by the ERC. The goal of the project was to develop
recommendations concerning how ecosystem monitoring can and should
be carried out in support of EPA's regulatory responsibilities. Our
hope was and is that the experience gained from this study will be
broadly applicable to a range of manage ment problems involving
estuarine ecosystems, and will lead to more effective regulation."

1883. After more than eleven years' experience contending for the
moral purity of the children of the land, and seeking to prevent
certain evils from being brought in contact with this
ever-susceptible class, I have one clear conviction, viz., that
Satan lays the snare, and children are his victims. Thus spoke

special agent of the Post Office Department, founder and leading
spirit of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, and
premier anti-vice crusader in American history.

coincidences; dreams, nightmare and somnambulism; presentiments,

several examples of these phenomena to aid the reader in a better
comprehension of such phenomena.

1892. This essay consists of articles which originally appeared in
"The Christian Advocate" and some additional matter of importance.
The principles underlying it are that pure air is life and the want
of it death; that deep breathing is essential to vigorous health;
and that chronic disease, except when the result of accident, is
caused by neglecting, and by transgressing, little by little for a
long time, and can only be cured by attending and obeying the laws
of health for a long time.

The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice sounds like the
satirical invention of a modern wag, but it was a very real
organization dedicated to policing public morality in the late 19th
century. Its founder, Anthony Comstock, was notorious as a crusader
for "decency" and a strident advocate of censorship-so strident, in
fact, that George Bernard Shaw coined the term "comstockery" to
refer to his zeal for the cause. (Shaw was one of Comstock's
victims; so were Theodore Dreiser and D.H. Lawrence.) In this rare
1883 work, hard to find today in an elegant edition, Comstock
offers the "warnings, restraints, guidance and sympathy" that
"alone" might "save the youth" from vileness and corruption, and
compulsively itemizes the "traps" that were seducing American
youngsters into lives of debauchery and vice, including "pernicious
literature," gambling, "free love," "lewd art," and more. A
hilarious artifact of 19th-century "scandal," this inadvertently
delightful book makes for wonderfully iniquitous reading today.
