Peace in our time!

Tuesday, 22 July 2014

Paul and I have agreed to the following:

Each will write no more than one climate change blog article per calendar month,
Each agrees to only make no more than one reference to climate change in our other blogs. These other articles will not include charts showing climate, temperatures, green house gas emissions or ice cores
Politicians remain fair game for any foolishish they choose to undertake/speak, but only one remark in our attack may reference climate change
Blogs to date are exempt except that they could towards the one blog for the month of July 2014
ThygoCanberra will unrelently attack whoever breaks this promise, and post more pictures of spiders, ducks and moons.

Galileo's portrait is just an obscure reference to an apocryphal event.

I'm not sure where Galileo fits in here. I presume as a model for climate sceptics against the dominant and erroneous orthodoxy.

Entirely correct. And the same rules apply to comments.

There is one computer wargame with elegant simplicity, many layers of subtle gameplay, and brilliant easy to use email capability: Empire (now Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition). Even die hard board wargamers will become addicted.

Paul's Great Reads

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
