Wonderful Life (book)
''Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History'' is a 1989 book on the evolution of Cambrian fauna by Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The volume made ''The New York Times'' Best Seller list, was the 1991 winner of the Royal Society's Rhone-Poulenc Prize, the American Historical Association's Forkosch Award, and was a 1991 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Gould described his later book ''Full House'' (1996) as a companion volume to ''Wonderful Life''. Summary Gould's thesis in ''Wonderful Life'' was that contingency plays a major role in the evolutionary history of life. He based his argument on the extraordinarily well preserved fossils of the Burgess Shale, a rich fossil-bearing deposit in Canada's Rocky Mountains, dating 505 million years ago. Gould argues that during this period just after the Cambrian explosion there was a greater disparity of anatomical body plans ( phyla) than exist today. However most of these phyla left no modern descend ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He's standing on the bridge about to jump and he's stopped by a woman. They see each other and fall in love. She basically says, 'Come with me, it's all going to be fine'. The song only offers a snippet of someone's life, so we don't know what happens at the end of it." Critical reception "Wonderful Life" was well received from music critics. Digital Spy gav ...

Produced by Nick Launay, the album is the last to feature founding member Blixa Bargeld who departed from the band shortly after the album's release. Recording ''Nocturama'' was recorded in one week during an Australian tour in March 2002, and reunited Nick Cave and guitarist Mick Harvey with producer Nick Launay, who had worked with their previous band The Birthday Party twenty-one years earlier. Reflecting on the recording experience, Launay noted: "I'll never forget the first day recording ''Nocturama''. Blixa swept into SingSing Studio in ''that'' hat. Mick Harvey introduces me and Blixa goes, 'Oh, ja, the engineer.' Mick says, 'No, Blixa – the ''producer''.' Blixa says, 'Well, we'll see about that, won't we?' From a distance they look like the most chaotic band. From an engineering point of view, it's just fucking mental – like recording a live gi ...
