Soay Sheep and Geometrical Drawing
not together ;o)
Soay Sheep - Natural selection in island sheep - found at EurekAlert! Great article - I didn't even know that these sheep existed, much less all by themselves, wild on a Scottish island! The article covers some genetic testing and analysis done by scientists.
Saw this book - Geometrical Drawing 1935, from the International Textbook publishing company, at our local flea market today. However, the copy they had was not kept in the best of places the last 80 years - and it would be worth ordering one from a good place online, now that I know about it. What I could stand looking through (bad old book odor.. you know what I mean) had some great charts and formulas in it. The same company had a few other trig and geometry books (apparently the previous owner worked for the DoT or something.. lots of things about highway surfaces and statistics of materials etc) but they were in such bad shape I didn't even try to look through more than the first few pages.
