  4. The Beginnings of Man -Part 1

    The nature of Man has evolved over millions of years, changed by environmental conditions, by the response of his instinctual nature and by the actions of his ego. Man’s inner characteristics are altogether different from the ancestral root which governs other species. Why then is he so different?

  5. In #Explorers, Lockwood doesn’t simply deconstruct #myths—he rebuilds the story of exploration as a deeply human, often painful, and undeniably fascinating process. The result is an eye-opening meditation on empire, cultural exchange, ambition, and the moral price of curiosity. #BookReview #History #Colonisation #Indigenous #Adventure #NonFiction

  6. I throughly enjoyed the Open Spaces Society members day exploring Kenilworth and the historic Parliament Piece. The myth of King Richard III holding Parliament in 1266 was debunked despite it being a fantastic story! #OpenSpacesSociety #GreenSpaces #Kenilworth #ParliamentPiece #Myths #Warwickshire #Clouds #Weather

  8. The common name of this fungus arises from the notion that they are large enough to take the weight of a seated Dryad. Looked at with more modern eyes they remind me of the seats of the old-fashioned tractors that you could see around farms back in the distant days of the 1950s. But then I wonder maybe some of the ancient tractor drivers were Dryads in modern dress?
