Zoology

[close] On the search for cryptids and mysterious creatures! If you are fascinated by Cryptozoology, that is the study of animals rumoured to exist, including possible prehistoric survivors and other “yet to be discovered animals” behind lore and legends and are looking to connect with other cryptid fans to discover and discuss books by leading field researchers and professional cryptozoologists as well as find out about new/upcoming book projects this group is for you. Not just for armchair monster hunters and avid readers, authors and bloggers interested in science and animals, but also for those readers interested in enjoying "cryptofiction" - fiction with a cryptozoological theme! We've got a comprehensive listing of books packed full of information and wonder and elements concerning mysterious animals! Welcome to the Cryptid Chronicles Book Club! † Read the Important Rules in the Introduction folder prior to posting. Authors go here.

[close] A place to read and discuss some great science books from across all fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. Add suggestions to the group's shelves and I'll make polls to decide what to read next, so vote for the one you want. All discussion threads are open indefinitely, so feel free to join in, contribute, share links to cool things you find etc whenever. We aim to read one book every two weeks.

[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.
