Zoology

[close] A group dedicated to literature, art and history pertaining to beasts of yore.

[close] This group is for those that just can't get enough of science and the natural world. *** All books are chosen by group members ***

[close] Welcome to Birds! Eclectus Parrots (Eclectus roratus) For all bird lovers—wrap yourself in the realm of birds and share your experiences while birding! We will read books about and relating to birds, giving us a broader and newer understanding of them at the same time as we discuss species and take in birding tips. At first, birding may seem like a wasted pastime, but if looked at in the right way, reveals an outstanding world that you never thought existed. I hope to explore this world with you and learn from you in a community where we are all into ornithology, so don't hesitate, meander into the realm of feathered creatures that surround us. Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) Eurasian Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis)

[close] The goal of this reading group is to be curious and to explore an array of biological topics by reading textbooks chosen by the group. The hope is that this approach will allow us to slowly study, review and/or ponder these topics as we help each other along. We will travel through the realms of cell and microbiology to the broad topics of ecology and conservation. The close to two million species currently existing on Earth will become our learning tools to understand life as it has evolved on the fragile third planet orbiting a yellow star - the Earth.
