Natural History

[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] Skeptična skupina je prostor za vse, ki cenijo kritično mišljenje, znanstveno metodo in zdravo pamet. Beremo knjige o znanosti, psihologiji, logiki, družbenih pojavih in razkrivanju zmotnih prepričanj – od psevdoznanosti do teorij zarote. Če uživaš v tehtnem dvomu, intelektualni radovednosti in razpravah, kjer so argumenti pomembnejši od avtoritet, si na pravem mestu!

[close] This reading group will focus on natural history. We will immerse ourselves within the realm of organisms as we explore the biodiversity of the planet. Discover and discuss animal species ranging from vertebrates such as birds and mammals to soft-bodied organisms such as mollusks, worms and jellies. We will journey throughout the world's biomes via ecological and evolutionary perspectives, the microscopic connections and the life histories of different species. Hopefully we will gain a better understanding of the numerous species we share the planet with. Environmental aspects and conservation measures are also important topics of interest in this group.

[close] Book group for staff based at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. A place to share things you've read and what you thought, as well as a place to voice what you'd would like to read and get people's thoughts. We will post regular recommendations. Comments are welcome even if you haven't read the books(!).
