annwfynHere we have an article by Jared Diamond on why agriculture was the greatest mistake humanity ever made. It's really interesting, especially the point he makes about not comparing the life of someone who lives in the first world (who is not representative of the global population) to the life of a hunter gatherer, but rather comparing the average subsistence level farmer to the the average hunter gatherer.
Here we have some colour pictures of London during the Blitz. It's amazing how much more immediate it seems in colour, how much more terrifyingly real.
As an apologetic note, I've been mostly away from the computer today and chunks of yesterday so I'm really behind on my e mail. Sorry if I owe anyone anything. Shall try and do a big catch up tomorrow. And now, for I am exhausted, to bed!
