When he was just a fledgling birdwatcher, Jonathan C. Slaght had a chance encounter with one of the most mysterious birds on Earth. Bigger than any owl he knew, it looked like a small bear with decorative feathers. He snapped a quick photo and shared it with experts. Soon he was on a five-year journey, searching for this enormous, enigmatic creature in the lush, remote forests of Eastern Russia. That first sighting set his calling as a scientist.

I especially enjoyed the balance between observations of fish owl behavior and JS’s relationships with his Russian colleagues. Following their uneven progress toward the first capture made this read like a good novel.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 234
London's Great Plague of 1665 devastated the city, as Europe's final bubonic outbreak killed thousands of helpless citizens. Daniel Defoe, author of the classic Robinson Crusoe, was five years old when the Plague swept through London, and grew up hearing many stories - some truthful, others exaggerated - of its deadly effects. Blending those anecdotes with his childhood recollections and factual data from government registers, Defoe wrote this comprehensive account of what happened to London in 1665.

We’ve come a long way… not.

Aside from remarkable progress in science and technology, it’s depressing how little human society has advanced in the past three and a half centuries. All too many of us are just as stupid, selfish, venal, hateful and superstitious as Daniel Defoe’s neighbors.
