As usual, national Geographic came through again. The Nov issue had a great article on Borneo...full of information and great images. But the most amazing article and images was the one about the Cavern of the Giant Crystals. This is amazing! I swear, it looks like something out of a science fiction movie! It is freaky and fascinating and amazing. I just can't believe crystals of this size in in this abundance exist. The other article that really stood out to me was the article about elephant seals...the images of the bulls fighting are frightening...you can almost feel the ground rumbling. What a great magazine.
The Nov Zoonooz is the calendar issue, and the 2009 calendar is hooked to Elephant Odyssey which will be opening next year. It should be a great new exhibit, and the issue offers some graphics of what it will look like. The animals that will be in EO will be animals that once had ancestors right here in So Cal. So the calendar each month shows the live animals and the predecessor. Not too bad.
Nov. Playboy was a pretty good issue, much of it devoted to James Bond. Playboy is linked to Bond in many ways publishing Ian Flemings Bond stories very early in its history, and in Bond's history. The interview was with Daniel Craig, the newest and maybe, best, Bond. And while some celebrity interviews reveal what callow people they are, he actually seems pretty modest and down to earth. There was also a weird but good piece of fiction from J. Robert Lennon...that I am not even sure how to describe. And a profile of Lamont Carolina, a young man whose life was turned around by Barack Obama and his campaign for president. All in all, a solid issue.
