Hay Tony worked it out, i have added you to my friends list. Hope you don't mind.
Your lucky that you get to spend quality time reading and such. Its good to exercise the mind. The last good book that i read was Legacy of Heriot. Can not think of the authors name.
The story is based around a human colonie that set up camp on some distant planet. Off they go on their merry little way. Planting fruit and veg seeds. Defrosting chicken embryos breading and cloning chickens, sheep, goats etc....A nice little colonie setting.
Then Sheep go missing so they blame the dogs. Goats go also. So they blame the dogs.
It turns out to be a frog like creature thats having tadpoles & eating the live stock. The author describes how the alien creature thinks & feels. What it sees tastes and touches.
I read this book 8 years ago.
I also watched the new Attingbourgh DVD Life in the Undergrowth over xmas. It was my ol'mans pressie (Shhh don't tell that i watched it) It was facingating
"Without the insect world humans would not have evolved. If the insect world was to disappear then humans would to. If the human world would disappear then it would make no impact on the inset world what so ever."
"Water first home and sustainer of life"
Life came from the sea as we know. Some creatures ventured on to land. Most molluscs have bearly changed since the dawn of time.
The really facinating part was the mating game. Creatures as small as a pin piont to aireal creatures to spiders and dancing scorpions. All carry out the same mating ritual/game as humans.
So the next time you want to find the meaning of life, look under a stone or on the flower of a butercup. Even a thorny bush.
