Chris Elliot (Philosophy, Hofstra) has made me aware that Project Gutenberg has doubled its coverage of works by Thomas Henry Huxley. Some light reading on this weekend for those not watching the NFL. The additions are:

  • Conditions of Existence as Affecting the Perpetuation of Living Beings 
  • Coral and Coral Reefs 
  • Criticism on "The origin of species" 
  • Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature 
  • Geological Contemporaneity and Persistent Types of Life 
  • Method By Which the Causes of the Present and Past Conditions of Organic Nature Are to Be Discovered -- the Origination of Living Beings
  • On Some Fossil Remains of Man 
  • On the Advisableness of Improving Natural Knowledge 
  • On the Origin of Species: or, the Causes of the Phenomena of Organic Nature 
  • On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals 
  • On the Study of Zoology 
  • Origin of Species 
  • The Past Condition of Organic Nature 
  • The Perpetuation of Living Beings; hereditary transmission and variation 
  • The Present Condition of Organic Nature 
  • William Harvey and the Circulation of the Blood 
  • Yeast 

Gutenberg has additional Huxley works available. The "goto" site for Huxley is still The Huxley File, but the Gutenberg additions are to be welcomed.

Simplify
May 11, 2009
So I'm trying to simplify things in real life as I think I am suffering from information overload (among other things). First task was to clean up my Facebook friends. From here on, it's family, colleagues and (usually graduate) students. Folks I know only in virtual space are likely to have gotten…

Even Better than a Halloween Costume: Life Size Cutouts!
I went to graduate school to study Anthropology, so naturally, there was very little funding.

There, I was the assistant to the director, a man…
Landsjö Castle Plan Develops
Landsjö castle. State of knowledge after the 2014 excavations. I'm giving a talk on Landsjö castle to the Kimstad Historical Society next week, and while preparing my presentation I made a sketch plan of this summer's discoveries regarding the plan. The ruin just barely breaks the turf, so we didn't know much about the castle's layout beforehand except that it had a 60-metre straight stretch…
What Happens at the End?
Replication fork -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere. Organisms with linear chromosomes have to solve the problem that DNA replication makes them shorter. This is due to the fact that DNA polymerase can only add bases to the terminal 3'-OH of a DNA chain. The DNA replication initiation complex uses RNA primers to provide the initial 3'-OH and to initiate "lagging" strand synthesis…
