	ACIM and Mother Nature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Or, conversely, nature is a resource to be exploited in order to supply our needs; in order to give us a good life on this earth which is our home.
		How you view nature depends a great deal on what your standard of measurement is. If you measure what we call nature against conditions on the surface of the moon or Saturn, or, say, conditions on the seventh level of hell, nature comes out looking pretty good.
		This is regarded as "the way of nature," not to be raised to question, but to be accepted as the "natural" law of life.

	GBN: Mother Nature
		The persistence, decade after decade, of a nonexistent dichotomy puzzles me. The recent discovery that mother mice lacking a particular gene fail to care for their babies inevitably led to news stories about the gene responsible for "the very essence of mothering" as if with the gene she had it, without it she did not.
		an emotional subject—the nature of motherhood—and is written by a scientist who won't disregard the fact that she is herself a woman and a mother.
		But in the pragmatic and not-at-all-nice domain of Mother Nature, mothers evolved to factor in costs (which, in the human case, can range from mother's age or physical condition to a conscious awareness of future costs) as well as to factor benefits (for example, a social milieu that offers sons better opportunities than daughters).

	Floridian: Mother's nature
		I would listen in embarrassment as my mother and another religious zealot went nose to nose for an hour or two, both of them laying rhetorical traps, neither giving an inch, both secure in the knowledge that only one of them was bound for heaven.
		When my mother was a little girl, he took her from tavern to tavern because she was pretty and precocious.
		I think my mother's difficult childhood was why she never cozied up to people who had money; as far as I know, she never voted for a Republican in her life.

	Mother Nature/Father Culture
		Nature and culture, two ends or (perhaps) ideal types of a continuum have always played key roles in anthropological research and theorizing, but perhaps one more strongly than the other, and a treatment of them is part of the study of the discipline.
		Nature and culture, both ideal types, interacting to create, in essence, one another: for without the raw materials of nature (the earth, the universe, the cosmos) there would be no culture; without the words of culture there would be no way in which to recognize the elements of nature.
		Nature and culture, in effect, are like the two sides of the penny which cannot exist one without the other; or perhaps nature-culture is like the one sided Möbius strip.

	Pharyngula: Mother Nature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		There is a stereotype of the ideal mother as someone who expresses unconditional love, who sacrifices all for her children, and who is ferocious and unstinting in defense of her children.
		The immediate impetus for the surgeon general's dismissal was her public comment to the effect that sex education and alternative outlets for libido (such as masturbation) would be preferable to early, unprotected intercourse by teenage girls who are fertile at the unprecedented age of thirteen.
		Mother Nature is a broad but also surprisingly deep survey of what it means to be a mother, focussing mainly on us primates and especially humans, but also touching on even wider aspects of animal diversity.

		This anthropocentrism is illustrated through the use of terms such as `timber' instead of trees, and phrases such as, `harvesting of natural resources' and `wildlife management' to describe and justify the exploitation of Nature and natural systems by humans.
		Andree Collard posits that the rejection of human identification with nature and the rise of the male/female and nature/culture dualisms is a result of the adoption of Sanskrit language which coincided with the recorded appearance of god- worshipping males in the Middle East some 6000 years ago.

	Mother Nature's school of design -- Janine Benyus
		The steps are simple but profound in their implications—they are: quieting human cleverness, listening to nature, echoing nature, and protecting the wellspring of good ideas through stewardship.
		If we can biomimic at all three levels—natural form, natural process, and natural system—we’ll begin to do what all well-adapted organisms have learned to do, which is to create conditions conducive to life.
		In each case, nature provides the models: solar cells copied from leaves, steely fibers woven spider-style, shatterproof ceramics drawn from mother-of-pearl, cancer cures compliments of chimpanzees, perennial grains inspired by tallgrass, computers that signal like cells, and a closed-loop economy that takes its lessons from redwoods, coral reefs, and oak-hickory forests.

	Mother Nature vs. the Walking Encyclopedia
		But that is not Nature's Way; designing systems or organizations with that sort of efficiency requires genuine foresight, a detailed anticipation of the problem spaces to be encountered, the tasks the system will be called upon to perform.
		That is not to say that it is a priori impossible that natural selection could have so precisely "appreciated" the detailed features of our cognitive problem-spaces that it designed us with top-down "efficiency," but if so, this would be a striking exception to the rule.
		Moreover, since in Nature, time (including "r and d" time) is a vastly more costly commodity than material, we should expect designs in which many elements are thrown into the breech, only some of which actually play a significant role (and hence are univocally interpretable).

	Random House \| Books \| Mother Nature by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy
		Maternal instinct--the all-consuming, utterly selfless love that mothers lavish on their children--has long been assumed to be an innate, indeed defining element of a woman's nature.
		In fact all mothers, in the struggle to guarantee both their own survival and that of their offspring, deal nimbly with competing demands and conflicting strategies.
		Written with grace and clarity, suffused with the wisdom of a long and distinguished career, Mother Nature is a profound contribution to our understanding of who we are as a species--and why we have become this way.
