A resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability that needs to be consumed to obtain a benefit from it. Anything that can be used to satisfy a human need is a resource. Utility or usability is what makes a object a resource. In most cases, commercial or even non-commerial factors require resource allocation through resource management.

Value of a resource

The purely economic value of a resource is controlled by supply and demand. This is, however, a narrow perspective on resources as there are many things that cannot be measured in money.

Natural resources like forests, mountains etc. are considered beautiful so they have aesthetic value. Resources also have an ethical value as well, because it is our moral duty to protect and conserve them for the future generations.

Characteristics of resources

This section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. If an appropriate WikiProject or portal exists, please adjust this template accordingly. (July 2010)

Resources have three main characteristics: utility, quantity (often in terms of availability), and consumption. However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.

A. There is a little red book (I think that Barrons puts it out) that helps a lot. Borders and Barnes and Nobles usually has it. Also those two website have a lot of practice questions and old tests.

What resources are available to anyone wanting to set up a creative writing course?
Q. I'm an experienced pro author (of science fiction) based in the UK, and I'm looking into setting up a creative writing course at a local arts centre focused on sf and fantasy. Are there any resources out there in book form or otherwise I might find useful in teaching about both science fiction/fantasy and creative writing in general?

A. I'm doing a creative writing course at the moment. Can I just say, I would absolutely love to be part of a course focused on science fiction and fantasy :) that's a great idea, and I hope you get plenty of people going to it. Well, you'll need plenty of example of the genre, and these are in abundance. You could maybe provide example of novels which employ fantasy/sci-fi cliches (the Warhammer novels spring to mind) and compare them to better, fresher fantasy. A basic grammar book is a must - obviously in a creative writing workship you don't want to spend too much time going over this, as everyone should already be aware of the basics. However, it can be handy to have a few photocopied pages of info about where to put commas/apostrophes [cont.]
