| | | | | Ordos Desert: Encyclopedia II - Huang He - Cradle of Chinese civilization During the long history of China, the Huang He has been considered a blessing as well as a curse and has been nicknamed both "China's Pride" (Zhōngguó de Jiāoào) and "China's Sorrow" (Zhōngguó de Tòng). Records indicate that, from 602 BC to present, the river's course made at least 5 major large-scale changes in direction and its levees were breached more than 1,500 times. A major course change that took place in 1194 took over the Huai River drainage system throughout the next 700 years. The mud in the Huang He literall ...

The desert features a number of drought-adapted shrubs such as gray sparrow's saltwort, gray sage ...

| | | | | Ordos Desert: Encyclopedia II - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Teachings In his posthumously published book, The Human Phenomenon, Teilhard sets forth a sweeping account of the unfolding of the material cosmos in the past up to and including the development of the noosphere in the present and including his vision of the Omega Point in the future.
Teilhard de Chardin is the proponent of orthogenesis, the idea that evolution occurs in a directional, goal driven way. This is often viewed as a teleological view of evolution. This still would not be the same as teleological implications of intelligent de ...

| | | | | Ordos Desert: Encyclopedia II - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Controversy with Church officials In 1925, Teilhard was ordered by the Jesuit Superior General Vladimir Ledochowski to leave his teaching position in France and to sign a statement withdrawing his controversial statements regarding the doctrine of original sin. Rather than leave the Jesuit order, Teilhard signed the statement and left for China.
This was the first of a series of condemnations by certain church officials that would continue until long after Teilhard's death. The climax of these condemnations was a 1962 monitum of the Holy Office denouncing his works. F ...

| | | | | Ordos Desert: Encyclopedia II - Gobi Desert - Sands of the Gobi Deserts The origins of the masses of sand that make up the dunes (or barchans) in the Gobi are a source of debate. Some explorers consider them a product of marine or lacustrine denudation (ie. erosion). Most likely, however, the sands are the result of aerial denudation of the bordering mountain ranges and the remains of mountain ranges and hills within the Gobi itself. In this latter view, the winds would have a similar effect and obey similar laws as rivers and st ...

In the special edition of the 1977 science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the S.S. Cotopaxi, a tramp steamer lost under mysterious circumstances in December 1925 while en route from Charleston, South Carolina to Havana, Cuba, is found deposited, bizarrely enough, in the Mongolian portion of the Gobi Desert.
