| Introduction | I am a nature photographer specializing in wildflowers, birds, and other criters. Some of my wildflower and other photos can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/christopherchristie/sets/ And http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?where-photographer=Christopher+Christie These photos can be downloaded without charge for personal use and are used for educational purposes in the publications of many organizations, most often for free. My professional training is in microbiology (BS Microbiology, Honors / Distinction in) and medical technology. I have worked as a microbiologist, medical technologist and Greyhound bus driver. In the late 1980's I grew over 100 native species in a small nursery. Besides identifying, photographing and growing native plants, I enjoy birdwatching, gardening and hiking in the Great Basin and local mountains. In the fall and winter, I used to do raptor counts along the Burnt River in the Hereford area for the East Cascade Bird Conservancy. |

How long can human populations go on growing before they begin to collapse?
