the following is a recommendation from the business manager of monarch books. monarch books should open a caf in its store to attract more customers and better compete with regal books, which recently opened a caf. monarch, which has been in business at the same location for more than twenty years, has a large customer following because it is known for its wide selection of books on all subjects. opening the caf would clearly attract more customers. the caf would require relatively little space. space could be made for the caf by discontinuing the childrens book section, which will likely become less popular given that the last national census indicated a significant decline in the percent of the population who are under age ten. the following appeared as an editorial in a wildlife journal. arctic deer live on islands in canadas arctic region. they search for food by moving over ice from island to island during the course of a year. their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed, and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining. since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the decline in arctic deer populations is the result of deer being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea. |
