Books encountered by chance - 1st in a series
Period Piece by Gwen Raverat, an artist who happened to be one of Darwin's grandchildren. Her illustrations are one of the many delights of this brillianrly warm, funny account of her childhood in 1890s Cambridge.
One evening in 1985 or so I came upon this tattered copy at a Half-Price Books in Houston, Texas and knew at once that it had to come home with me. We're both even more tattered now, but still together. #Victodons #Books #Darwin

Re the 'network approach', are the ones you know of historical or contemporary? If historical, please share!
I'm interested in thinking about how editorial and reviewing practices spread to become 'standard', e.g. refereeing/peer review over the period c1830 to 1980. Presumably at least partly due to people who 'learned' reviewing practices for one journal then applying it to other journals...
Well, he is indeed sinking Twitter.
And given the ways in which it serves important practical uses (news & communication during disasters, for example), that stinks.
In addition to the fact that I’ll sorely miss the community I have there.
