The Armchair Zoologist: Hiatus
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2009/10/hiatus.html
Monday, 26 October 2009. Sorry I haven't been posting recently I moved both house and country and have been rushing around with job hunting, costuming. And trying to find volunteering opportunities. Things are now starting to get into a rhythm, so I hope I can start posting again soon. I do have lots of articles and reviews just waiting for me to sit down and write them, and my volunteering to talk about. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Draw up a chair, have a drink of your choice. Self-control matte...

The Armchair Zoologist: December 2008
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 December 2008. The Blackbourne Pavilion at London Zoo. The Blackbourne pavilion has recently been refurbished. As one of the older buildings of London Zoo, it has been remodelled in an homage to the Victorian collector. Outside the entrance is an enchanting ‘steam powered’ clock that does a display on the hour. Inside is a large oil style painting of a Victorian ornithologists study surrounded by silhouettes of various species of bird. Personally I found the Pavilion a very good reconciliat...

The Armchair Zoologist: October 2008
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2008. Out of the Armchair. And into the Deckchair. Any way we got to Wadi Tarabat and set up the light trap (and the deckchairs). It was fairly simple; consisting of two white sheets on the ground with a double bulb, which gave out UV and visible light, in the middle. Due to the breeze we did not get any large beetles (which Mike, the beetle expert, was hoping for) but there were other moments of interest. Picture and text by Brigitte Howarth here.

The Armchair Zoologist: April 2009
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 April 2009. Quirks and Quarks on CBC Radio 1. The presenter Bob Macdonald is excellent, he does not patronise the audience and is an intelligent interviewer who comes across as genuinely interested in the people he interviews, and doesn't just act the 'everyman journalist talking with those crazy egg head science people' which can happen in some science journalism. Here is an extract from a January show. Listen to the whole segment here. Links to this post. Thursday, 23 April 2009. If you are ...

The Armchair Zoologist: March 2008
http://armchairzoologist.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 March 2008. The Tower Menagerie- Thomas Hahn. The Menagerie at the Tower of London lasted nearly 600 years and served as both a source of income and a place to deposit royal presents. In this book Thomas Hahn explores both the events around the tower and the changing attitudes towards animals from the 13th Century right up until 1835 after the advent of the Zoo in Regent's Park.
