I studied this emerging field of landscape ecology.

It's quite a sight.

So I want to show you another landscape now.

Pessimism is a luxury of good times ...

This is a mountain famous for its scenery.

And we tried to use it to visualize Third Avenue.

And you'll see them around where you live.

The scenery of the Alps left a lasting impression on me.

Don't talk to me like that!

These are extraordinary landscapes, but few of us ever get to see them.

I started to realize that, you know, this is actually a universal story.

We admired the view of Mt. Fuji.

You might have guess it correctly. It's the uniform distribution.

And I think of this as kind of a moral landscape, with peaks and valleys that correspond to differences in the well being of conscious creatures, both personal and collective.

As Norwegian social scientist Evelin Lindner has observed,

I was in the army.

So we would take the landscape and we would build up the topography.

We secured 20 million dollars to build first phase projects.

The tourists were fascinated with the exquisite scenery.

Now, the nature of the work that I do and my colleagues do in the sports culture and the U.S. military, in schools, we pioneered this approach called the bystander approach to gender violence prevention.

Oh, for Al Gore to come and be in the real world as president.

Macro, close or distant view

And so when it became time for me to do my graduate studies,

Fuji was designated as a World Cultural Heritage and not World Natural Heritage.

That's a good approach.

This bus company carries more than 2000 buses so we considered buses as movable furniture in our urban landscape.

We do that on chimpanzees that live in Lawrenceville, in the field station of Yerkes.

But the key part is trying to give back an extraordinary piece of landscape, rather than engulf it.

And this was a big deal.

Is it nature, genes, or is it nurture?

So how can you live little?
