Credited with discovering more species than Darwin, praised for his "ability to take complex ideas and--seemingly effortlessly-- make them accessible" (Sydney Morning Herald), Tim Flannery is one of the world's most influential scientists, head of Australia's Climate Change Commission, and a best-selling author. In his newest book, Here on Earth--an immediate best seller in Australia--he has written a captivating and dramatic narrative about the origins of life and the history of our planet.

Beginning at the moment of creation with the Big Bang, Here on Earth explores the evolution of Earth from a galactic cloud of dust and gas to a planet with a metallic core and early signs of life within a billion years of being created. In a compelling narrative, Flannery describes the formation of the Earth's crust and atmosphere, as well as the transformation of the planet's oceans from toxic brews of metals (such as iron, copper, and lead) to life-sustaining bodies covering 70 percent of the planet's surface. Life, Flannery shows, first appeared in these oceans in the form of microscopic plants and bacteria, and these metals served as catalysts for the earliest biological processes known to exist.

From this starting point, Flannery tells the story of the evolution of our own species, exploring several early human species--from the diminutive creatures (the famed hobbits) who lives in Africa around two million years ago, to Homo erectus--before durning his attention to Homo sapiens, who first started leaving Africa some fifty thousand years ago. Drawing on Charles Darwin's and Alfred Russell Wallace's theories of evolution and Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis, Tim Flannery's Here on Earth is a dazzling account of life on our planet.

The most important collection of medieval chivalric romance literature. Well worth the time. Great combination of nobility, courage, devotion, and humility—all virtues which need to be celebrated today.

Le Morte Darthur
Format: Paperback
Helen Cooper offers a new translation of the MS Winchester -- this is NOT Vinaver's text. The chapters include numbering from the Caxton text -- very useful.

Freshest breathe
I recently purchased a stainless steel tongue cleaner, and I am pleased to report that it is a great product. The cleaner is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is extremely durable and will not corrode over time. It is also easy to use and clean, as the cleaning part is made of a smooth and rounded end that fits comfortably in my mouth. The cleaner is also very effective at removing bacteria and food particles from my tongue. After using the cleaner for a few days, I noticed that my breath had improved significantly and that my taste buds were more sensitive. I was also surprised to find that the cleaner was gentle enough to use on an everyday basis without causing any irritation. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and affordable tongue cleaner. Not only is the stainless steel cleaner effective and easy to use, but it also lasts longer than other tongue cleaners on the market. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective and reliable tongue cleaner.

Exactly what I needed
These are solid and work really well. They’ve held up perfectly and as long as I don’t lose them I can’t imagine them wearing out for a really long time.
