Seymour Simon's new book, THE HUMAN BODY


There is nice mention of Si's latest photo essay book in "Notes from the Horn Book."Notes from the Horn Book | October, 2008
Well deserved. This is a beautiful new addition to Si's Smithsonian series.


I found a detailed and adorable review on Amazon, written by a 6-year-old named Evan. It made me smile - a new addition to the list of "raising an intelligent child tips" that one of his parents is clearly employing! Amazon.com: The Human Body: Seymour Simon: Books: "I really liked looking at the pictures. There were some pretty big words in this book. I think lots of people would enjoy 'The Human Body' by Seymour Simon, even grown-ups."

Giant squid dazzles prey with fireworks �

Giant squid dazzles prey with fireworks � - Neurophilosophy Journal

You have to check out these little bits of video, recorded by Japanese researchers. It looks like animation but it is not. It is a giant squid, in action under the sea. Amazing.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.. his eyes are closed. ::: Albert Einstein :::
