Yeah, I've been on a bit of a "science meets art" bent lately (I don't want to encroach on Bioephemera's territory too much now...), but what's one more link into the mix? Neil has told me that the latest issue of the magazine Cabinet features one of my favorite illustrations of Cheselden's Osteographia as well as articles about Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, the whale of a trial that is the focus of Trying Leviathan, and much more about bones.

I've been wanting to read the Trying Leviathan article/interview, but not until I finish the book itself...
Cabinet is a fascinating magazine. I first found out about it through the article on the hyperbolic crochet technique (Issue #16), which in addition to providing an excellent way to represent hyperbolic geometry, also allows for the creation of funky yarn nudibranchs, corals, and sea anemones. Mathematics + Fiber Art + Natural History...doesn't get much better, AFAIC!
Hey, it's not my territory. . . but you are trying my ability to post timely comments! I still haven't gotten a chance to respond intelligently to your delicious "What Rules the World"? post. I love Cabinet, too.
Jessica; I just wanted to throw in another plug for your excellent blog since I think you cover an area that deserves more attention (I just couldn't think of anything better than a tongue-in-cheek line to do it). I'm looking forward to your response to What Rules the World?, though.
