“If incredible creatures like sharks can exist, why not Bigfoot? When I look at sharks, they're the most terrifying, monstrous, dinosaur-like things. To this day, I'm so fascinated by them and can't get my head around how they are on Planet Earth at all.” IfsLooksEarthPlanetsCreaturesIncrediblesWhy NotThis DayFascinatedMonstrousSharksDinosaursPlanet EarthBigfoot Author:Rachael Taylor
“The biggest bursts of speciation that we know about in the history of the earth are soon after great cataclysms, like the extinction of the dinosaurs, which create new opportunities, and all sorts of new forms spring up... So, quite often, the reasons for creativity depend on accidents or disasters that prevent the normal habits being carried out.” KnowsReasonEarthFormOpportunityCreativityDependsHabitNormalSpringAccidentsDisasterExtinctionDinosaursNew OpportunitySpeciation Author:Rupert Sheldrake

“This is the sort of book that justifies fatwahs. If WWIII occurred right now, we could die happy knowing Baxter would never write again. If a dinosaur killing asteroid was headed for Earth and I knew Baxter had another book coming up, I would campaign for letting the rock hit, since it is obviously the work of a benovelent deity trying to save us from another Titan.” IfsWritingTryingBookEarthDiesKnowingRocksRight NowKillingCampaignsJustifyDeitiesDinosaursAsteroidsTitans Author:James Nicoll
“I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.” WorldMayMeanDoeRealityEarthJobsFacesSufferingNationsCommunityPayEconomyEnvironmentFateGenerationsDangerHigherMembersAccountsProfoundClimateClimate ChangeHeavyProducersConsumersGlobal WarmingInvestorsOur EnvironmentDinosaursNew GenerationTollsBetter JobsAdjusting Author:Eileen Claussen
