   I wish I could put words together this well. Frank Bruni’s California,Camelot and Vaccines in the NY Times today is worth the price of a Times  subscription by itself. A snapshot below, but read it

A Cladistic and Disparity Analysis of the Jurassic Park Franchise

Theropoda [2015-07-05 16:08:00]   recommend this post  (1212 visits)

Dei film di Jurassic Park si è detto molto. Molti di coloro che detestano l'idea che questi film siano un pretesto per parlare di scienza si ripiegano nel mantra acefalo del “è solo un film”. All'estremo opposto, quelli che credono che solo i [...]

Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Lost World (Ladybird)

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs [2015-07-05 16:45:00]   recommend this post  (1196 visits)

Ladybird books are a firm favourite of mine, since (like many other Brits) I have very fond memories of learning to read with them as a child - not just those bought for me at the time, but also hand-me-downs, which were all the more special. Their [...]

Views of the Mahantango [2015-07-05 09:01:00]   recommend this post  (1099 visits)
