Re: Home after 4 weeks and 7028 miles
Glad you had a good trip, I'm jealous! Up thread you had mentioned the book "Planet of the Bugs" which my local library had a copy of. I really hadn't ever thought too deeply about bug evolution and this book was a good introduction to it as well as a good read. Thanks for mentioning it.

I liked the way he discussed the geological ages when different insect orders evolved and what their impact was on the evolution of the plants and other animals in those periods.

Yes I really liked that too. The realization that initially no organism was breaking down cellulose was an eye opener. I really wish Faith would read this book with an open mind and see how everything fits together rather than sticking to her dogma.
