I have always found wooden boxes intriguing. A wooden
box invites you to discover what is inside it. Fine wooden boxes are
particularly alluring; a well-made box entices you to touch all its
surfaces and examine how it was made.

IOB - International Organisation of Book Towns. A
booktown is a small rural town or village in which second-hand and
antiquarian bookshops are concentrated. Most booktowns have developed
in villages of historic interest or of scenic beauty. The world's first
booktown was founded in Hay-on-Wye in 1961 by Richard Booth. He bought
derelict buidings including the castle, fire station and old workhouse
and turned them all into bookshops. There are now at least 20 such
towns around the world. Most traders work together, aiming to help
their town's regeneration. Members of the International Organisation of
Book Towns include: Hay-on-Wye and Blaenavon, Wales; Wigtown, Scotland;
Redu and Damme, Belgium; Becherel, Montolieu and Fontenoy la Joute,
France; Bredevoort, Netherlands; St Pierre de Clages, Switzerland;
Fjaerland, Norway; Sysma, Finland; Waldstadt Wunsdorf, Germany; Gold

The Aerial Reconnaissance Photographs
|
The reputation of aerial reconnaissance took a skydive
when Colin Powel showed controversial photographs of Iraq to the UN
Security Council, during 2003. But now we have something really worth
looking at. More than 5 million images shot from on high by the RAF
during the Second World War are now freely available on the Internet.
This Website has been created by The Aerial Reconnaissance Archives
(TARA) at Keele University, an official place for deposit for Britain's
National Archives.
The aerial photographs include: British paratroopers seizing Pegasus
Bridge in the opening gambit of the Normandy invasion, American GIs
pouring onto the D-Day beaches, the German battleship Bismark
under pursuit by the Royal Navy, and before-and-after pictures of the
terrifying 1,000-bomber raid on Cologne, showing the miracle of a great
city flattened but its great Gothic cathedral intact, and the open
fires of Auschwitz in the final months of the war, when the
crematoriums could not cope with the sheer volume of genocide and the
victims were being burnt in mass pits, plus RAF aerial images of
Mostar, in the former Yugoslavia, showing Suleiman the Magnificent's
medieval bridge, which survived the bombing, and the Mulberry harbours
which were used as a base for the Normandy invasion.
The Keele project hopes to balance its archive with the view from the
other side, when it puts online a further 2.5 million Luftwaffe aerial
reconnaissance photographs of Eastern Europe seized by the Allies at
the end of the war, used as a vital source of Cold War intelligence by
the Soviet Union and declassified by Nato only during the 1990s.
Eventually, Keele hopes to be able to offer the aerial photographs of
all Britain's post-war military campaigns, from Korea to Iraq. They may
not show many weapons of mass destruction, and even if they do, nothing
will quite compare with the Holocaust smoke drifting over quiet Polish
fields.

Grigori 'Grisha' Perelman
|
A publicity-shy Russian researcher who labours in
near-seclusion may have solved one of mathematics' oldest and most
abstruse problems, the Poincaré Conjecture. Evidence has been mounting
since November 2002 that Grigori 'Grisha' Perelman has cracked the
100-year-old problem, which seeks to explain the geometry of
three-dimensional space. If Perelman succeeded, he could be eligible
for a $1 million prize offered by the Cambridge, Mass.-based Clay
Mathematics Institute, formed to identify the world's seven toughest
math problems. Mathematicians around the world have been checking
Perelman's work in search of the kind of flaws that have sunk the many
other supposed solutions to a problem first presented by the French
mathematician Jules Henri Poincaré in 1904.

The Golden Ratio:
The Story of Phi, the Extraordinary Number of Nature, Art and Beauty
|
A fascinating and well-illustrated book by Professor
Mario Livio, In a captivating journey through art and architecture,
botany and biology, taking in fractals and psychology on the way, Mario
Livio takes us into the heart of this extraordinary number that has
captured our imagination for millennia. For this is also a story of
obsession - phi-fixated individuals who have
devoted their lives to discovering its secrets, among them the
Pythagoreans who believed that the study of the Golden Ratio would
reveal the hand of God; the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who felt that phi
was one of the two greatest treasures of geometry; and the modern day
physicists and mathematicians who are discovering ever more remarkable
ramifications of this strange, almost mystical number. The Golden
Ration is a tale that begins with the ancient Egyptians and Greeks,
continues with the great artists and thinkers of the Renaissance, and
takes us right up to such masters of the modern world as Bartok, Le
Corbusier and Debussy. It is a story which takes you into the heart of
beauty itself.

What Shape is a Snowflake: Magical Numbers
in Nature
|
An absolutely fascinating and lavishly illustrated
book by Professor Ian Stewart, which in my view is a bit of a nightmare
to read as it has been set throughout in a sans serif typeface. It's a
great pity that the publishers, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, have
succumbed to the foibles of fashion in this way, as reading more than a
page at a time is quite a strain on the eyes. Nevertheless, it is a
very compelling book that explains the mathematics behind the wonders
of nature quite brilliantly.

book. It has survived not only four centuries, but now the leap into

Butterfly Conservation
|
The alarming decline of many beautiful butterflies
after WWII led a small group of dedicated naturalists, headed
by Sir Peter Scott, to form Butterfly Conservation in 1968 as the
British Butterfly Conservation Society. The aim of the new Society was

help safeguard the environment itself. Specifically they aimed to
conserve both butterflies and moths, as well as the habitats on which
they depend.

Orford and Orford Ness
|
A true Suffolk treasure, Orford has remained mostly
unaffected by the 20th Century. The town grew up around a 12th Century
Royal castle, of which the surviving 90 foot high keep dominates the
surroundings of Orford to this day. Henry II built the castle for
coastal defences and against invaders from the sea, underlining the
political and commercial importance of the area at that time. Nowadays
the town is not so politically or commercially central! However, it
still has its areas of importance and it is still a beautiful and
relaxing area to visit.

US schools ban Darwin from class
|
The US went from the Earth to the Moon a few years
ago, and discovered that these worlds date back billions of years. Now
a religious campaign to block the teaching of evolutionary biology is
taking an inexorable grip on the States. Creationists are sticking
their heads in the sand, claiming the Universe was made in a flash a
few millennia ago by one entity. They even argue that dinosaurs and
humans coexisted, like they do in The Flintstones!
According to the journal Scientific American, a startling
45 per cent of Americans now believe God created life some time in the
past 10,000 years, despite research that has established the universe
as 13 billion years old and that men and women are descended from
apelike ancestors.
