Explanation:
Active voice is when someone does something while passive voice is when something is being done by someone. Even though these sound different, the <em>same thing</em> is happening in the story; it's just written differently.
Active: "Johnny bit into an apple."
Passive: "The apple was bit into by Johnny."
These are the same action being performed but written differently, see? With active voice, the main subject is at the beginning. With passive the main subject is at the end.
"Let the assembly began" is passive. Let's switch that around to active. We know that the assembly is beginning.
"The assembly is being let to begin!"
There's the answer.

To prove that, he says “In the past decade more scientific knowledge has been created than in all of human history.” Since we are so advance, we don't need to be observers "of the dance of Nature". We have moved “from being passive observers of Nature to being active choreographers of Nature.” We are no longer discovering, now we are creating. Conserning future predictions Kaku says to listen to "those who create it".
Answer:
(a.)The writers whom Barry Lopez mentioned in the first paragraph have in common is the kind of writing they do, recently referred to as <em>"nature or landscape writing".</em> It is a type of writing that takes into account the impact that nature and place have on culture.
(b). By mentioning a range of old and new writers, Barry Lopez tried to make a point that although people believed the type of nature writing is new, there have been several and widely known nature writers in the past in American Literature who have written about impact of nature and place on culture, or nature/landscape writing. He tried to emphasize that the old names would readily come to mind before remembering the new writers on the block.
