Borderline by Bonnie Rozanski For some time I had been interested in reports that obesity, attention deficit disorder and autism were all becoming more prevalent. Autism, in particular, seemed to be suspicious. This was the initial inspiration for Borderline. Assuming that human beings' genetic make-up remains essentially unchanged, then surely the environment must be complicit. Or is it? Then I watched a documentary on the evolution of the dog. Dmitry Belyaev, a 20th century Russian scientist, conducted ingenious studies in which wild foxes were bred over generations. Over time, Belyaev, attempting to replicate the evolution of the dog from the wolf, bred the tamest foxes to the tamest foxes. Amazingly, in only ten to twelve generations, the foxes began not only behaving like dogs but looking like dogs, with floppy ears and curly tails. Clearly, this could not be explained by genetics alone: ten generations of foxes simply is not time enough for a species to evolv...

I'm signed up for the Read the Book, See the Movie challenge, and I have now read two books and seen two movies. However I never did post my "reviews" of the movies. Here is just a quick note on the movies. First I read and reviewed Twilight and then watched the movie. The movie was pretty good, but it definitely fell short of the book. It was a much more simplistic version of the book, leaving out all of the complexities of the underlying emotions. There was no way in the movie to really relay the torment Edward felt, how he struggled, how gooooood Bella "smelled" to him. And it felt sort of rushed, as if everything moved at fast speed. Of course, the book sort of felt a similar way. Overall it was a pretty good movie, and even my boyfriend enjoyed it and was eager for me to read the second book so that I would get the second movie for us to watch. So I read the second book in the series and reviewed it , and then got the movie New Moon . Like the book, I li...
