The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World

Author	Stephen Brusatte
ISBN	0062490451

Brusatte traces the evolution of dinosaurs from their inauspicious start as small shadow dwellers—themselves the beneficiaries of a mass extinction caused by volcanic eruptions at the beginning of the Triassic period—into the dominant array of species every wide-eyed child memorizes today,...

Muddling through in Madagascar

Author	Dervla Murphy
ISBN	0879513608

I enjoy Dervla Murphy’s travel books. They are not guides and not books that might inspire you to travel. Usually she travels by bicycle, but this was not possible in Madagascar. Instead, she travels by local minibus, and much of the book describes the incredibly cramped conditions and terrible...

Period photographs illustrate this you-are-there account of the daily lives and tribulations of all who suffered...

Then Great Alta plaited the left side of her hair, the golden side, and let in fall into the sinkhole of the night. And there she drew up the queen of shadows and set her upon the earth. Next she plaited the right side of her hair, the dark side, and with it caught the queen of light. And she set her next to the black...
