		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This October I had a chance to mix two of my hobbies, geology and mythology, on the Giant&#8217;s Causeway in northern Ireland. Geologists tell us that the Giant&#8217;s Causeway is a beautiful example of columnar basalt, lava that cooled slowly and cracked into enormous columns of four to eight sides.

		<description><![CDATA[My mother sent me a link to a fascinating Scientific American article about zoologist Emily Baird&#8217;s research on dung beetles. Egyptologists give these poo-pushing champions the more dignified name of &#8220;scarab,&#8221; after an ancient Greek word for beetle. Dr. Baird&#8217;s specialty is insect vision, flight and navigation (see her profile at Lund University). She wrote her thesis [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Time magazine article this week notes that traditional ink-and-paper paper books are seeing a surprising spike in sales this year, as they did last year, despite the meteoric rise in popularity of ebook readers. The article flails for causes: &#8220;The holiday spike may reflect this year’s partial lifting of economic gloominess.&#8221; If that&#8217;s true, why was there one [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love both the old Celtic holiday of Samhain and the modern secular holiday of Hallowe&#8217;en, despite the over-commercialization of the latter. They are two different holidays. For me, they are both magical. Personally, I celebrate Samhain by honoring my ancestors: I light a candle and spend some time remembering my Nana, my other relatives, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Probably you&#8217;ve heard Nathaniel Hawthorne&#8217;s version, which makes Midas into a moralistic fable about gold-greed and appreciating the simple things in life. Hawthorne supplies King Midas with a daughter to drive the [&#8230;]]]></description>
