Not the usual evolution thread, but I liked the article. Underlining added by me.

This map- is England."

Fascinating. I grabbed a copy to look at when my eyes are open.

"Gregg notes that the geologic map is still the basic unit of conversation among geologists and that nearly two centuries later, geologic maps are not all that different from Smith's. "
True. I used to work at an oil major ... and the facts are that without 3D geologic maps/geophysical maps, plus cross sections tied to synthetics ... well, it would be a bit tough to enjoy the game of wild catting...
DHI's are especially fun to map. (Direct Hydrocarbon Indiators)

Absolutely awesome book. Winchester is an incredible writer. He also wrote "The Professor and the Madman: Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary".

That book convinced me that Simon Winchester is the best prose stylist writing in English today.

"Not the usual evolution thread [...]" I consider that a good thing.
Do we really need another evolution thread around here?

Winchester is an incredible writer. He also wrote "The Professor and the Madman: Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary". Hmmm...I found that book to be extremely repetitive...like he took a two-chapter story and expanded it by running through the same anecdote again and again.
Also didn't help when I found out he'd made part of it up. :-(

The Buffalo Library also has Mark Twains original handwritten manuscript of Huck Finn.
