The political spectrum lately is filled with people espousing beliefs — Whatever your creed or position, you’ve got to love Robert Heinlen’s piece on Our Noble, Essential Decency. Since we were just speaking of Heinlen, I thought I’d share this with you. It’s a lovely thing to hear read aloud.(Via Locus Online.) Colleen’s pulling out […]
The Queen of Sheba. Conrad Kyeser, Bellifortis. Bohemia, before 1405. Parchment. 140 fols., 320 by 240 mm. Cod. philos. 63, fol. 122r. Niedersächsische Staats-und Universitätsbibliothek, Göttingen, Germany. Well, the curator of the Tumblr must have “heard” me, and re-posted the info I was seeking, and my bad-Sci-Fi bud from Maryland made sure I knew – […]
