I have been ill, so I've not been able to access the internet consistently since I do not have my own connection, so I am somewhat late in notifying you about the latest blog carnivals that are available for you to read.
The Giant's Shoulders, issue 8, has been published. This blog carnival focuses on science that is based on "classic" scientific papers, although entries that describe current discoveries that confirm "classic" predictions (such as my contribution) are also included.
