text: Story On a rock climbing trip around South East Asia, Caelen King found himself in need of a small medical procedure, but quickly realised he didn't know where to go, how much he could expect to pay, or how to tell if any particular clinic was trusted and recommended by its existing patients. He didn't think this was particularly strange at the time. He was a visitor in a foreign country, without local knowledge or local friends to ask. He found a clinic as best he could and went ahead with the treatment. However, a few years later when he was back in Ireland he found himself in almost exactly the same situation. Even at home he found it hard to get access to useful information like location, service, pricing and feedback. Not a man to waste a good idea, WhatClinic.com was born. Company WhatClinic.com was founded in 2006, though when we began, we called ourselves Revahealth. In just a few short years we have grown to over 60 employees. Our main offices are in the heart of Dublin city, though we have people working in Poland, and Brazil too. WhatClinic.com helps patients find, compare and book the right clinics for them, in more than 135 countries. We provide detailed listings for over 120,000 clinics on our site. These include doctors, dentists, beauty and cosmetic surgery, physiotherapy, fertility, holistics and a lot more. We believe that every patient is an empowered consumer.

We do this through the commitment and dedication of our people. Vision We believe in a world where elective health patients will be able to make active and individual decisions about where to get treated, not unlike the way they decide which new car to buy today. Successful clinics will recognise that patients are evolving. Patients are becoming empowered consumers. We believe in a world where it is easy for clinics to provide accurate and pertinent information as well as excellent customer care.

She said that a one time processing fee of $49.99 will be deducted from my account and I will be recieving a packet in the mail about the grant and the money will be deposited in my account in seven days. She then said that I will be chared $200.00 fee.
If I choose to cancel I will recieve the money for the year 2005 and will not receive it after. If I do not cancel then $200.00 will be deducted from my account. I kept on asking questions and she was getting very frustrated and irrated with me and became very rude. I told her I changed my mind and want to cancel.
She would not take no for an answer and said I would have to donate a set amount to chartiy. I said no and she insisted that if I cancell then a donation amount will be deducted from my account.
I did not research this ripe off scam until after I ended the conversation with her. I wish I had known about this scam. I closed my account and opened a new one, but they already charged me the $49.99.

New librarian to work on building improvementsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | September 02,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Abby Noland is the new director of the Rutland Free Library. Noland replaces Paula Baker, who retired.When she saw a job listing in Vermont, Abby Noland did what a librarian does.
We did a lot of research, the new director of the Rutland Free Library said. Its the second happiest state in the U.S. Its the second healthiest state in the U.S.
Nolands daughter is starting as a freshman at the University of New Hampshire, so the family capped off its research by passing through Rutland on the way through for a campus visit.
When we hit Vermont, my kids were like, Oh, Mom, this is it, she said. They fell in love with Rutland.
Nolands first day was Aug. 18. She was still settling in last week.
Im trying to acclimate, she said. I cant get used to this office its so big.
Noland arrives from the Preble County, Ohio, library system. During her time there she oversaw the conversion to a consortium catalog a more intense version of inter-library loan. She said Rutland has already made that conversion, and that she is spending her time getting a feel for the local system.
I am taking everything in, she said. I am going to work with my staff on the internal goals. I absolutely want to work with the board on the overall goals of improvements to the building.
Rutland quickly impressed her with how welcoming it was.
We moved in, all the neighbors greeted us, asked what do you need, she said. Its got that small-town atmosphere, but its more sophisticated. The cafes, the galleries, the small shops, the music, the farmers markets theres always something going on.
Also welcoming, Noland said, has been her predecessor, the newly retired Paula Baker. Baker stayed on for a few extra days to help Noland with the transition.
Shes an incredible mentor, Noland said. I am amazed at what shes done in the community. I am eager to stand on the shoulders of giants. I can never fill her shoes.MORE IN This Just In

I bought these seat covers based on a review on Youtube. The review spoke good about this brand so I decided to make a move. The color matches the interior accent of my truck very well and the material has a good durable feel to it. They hug the seats well and installation wasn't hard at all. I was able to install them at night time with a head mounted light to prove how simple it was. The best feature I like is the feel of the material, denim like which gives the impression they'll last.

April 27, 2015
By Ashley Thorne at The Federalist Are you a good citizen? If so, what do you do that makes you one? At many colleges and universities, good citizenship is now understood as requiring a personal commitment to "sustainability." Last fall, I traveled out west to visit universities the National Association of Scholars is studying for a project looking at civics education in colleges.

The Joke Ban
January 28, 2010
The University of Northern Colorado (UNCO) has decided it's time to prohibit "Bias Motivated Incidents." When you hear about a "bias motivated incident," maybe you're thinking about a cross burning, or something of that nature. But at UNCO the "bias motivated incident" could simply be an "inappropriate joke" that is motivated by some form of bias. The UNCO policy also says that "Any discriminatory act is a violation of the Housing & Residence Life Student Code of Conduct." Well, what do they mean by "any discriminatory act"? According to the UNCO handbook this includes, but is not limited to, "racism, […]» Read More

Facing More Troubling Details and Public Outcry, Northern Colorado Vows to Reconsider Bias Response Team

Criticism of University of Northern Colorado's (UNC's) Bias Response Team (BRT) is growing amid revelations the school asked professors to avoid teaching controversial subjects for fear of offending students. Now, UNC has vowed to reevaluate the BRT in light of new evidence that its investigations into "'offensive,' 'triggering' or 'harmful'" campus speech extended outside the classroom, into students' dorm rooms and beyond. UNC's Dean of Students, Katrina Rodriguez, told The Greeley Tribune that she's transitioning away from overseeing the BRT, but she admitted there was room for improvement in the way the team addressed complaints.

Professor Investigated for Discussing Conflicting Viewpoints, 'The Coddling of The American Mind'
June 20, 2016
The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) appears to have investigated two professors for asking students to simply consider all sides of the debate over today's most controversial political and social issues. The investigations were prompted by student complaints made through UNC's "Bias Response" system, which encourages students to file online reports of any "offensive classroom environment" to administrators, who may then intervene with the theoretically offending faculty. The Bias Response Team's reports are troubling—both in sheer quantity, and substance. According to UNC documents obtained by Heat Street under Colorado's Open Records Act, a professor asked his students to read The […]» Read More

In some cases, the part of the body where cancer cells are first found helps the doctor decide which diagnostic tests will be most helpful.
- When cancer is found above the diaphragm (the thin muscle under the lungs that helps with breathing), the primary cancer site is likely to be in the upper part of the body, such as in the lung or breast.
- When cancer is found below the diaphragm, the primary cancer site is likely to be in the lower part of the body, such as the pancreas, liver, or other organ in the abdomen.
- Some cancers commonly spread to certain areas of the body. For cancer found in the lymph nodes in the neck, the primary cancer site is likely to be in the head or neck, because head and neck cancers often spread to the lymph nodes in the neck.
The following tests and procedures may be done to find where the cancer first began:
- CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, such as the chest or abdomen, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): A procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. This procedure is also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI).
- PET scan (positron emission tomography scan): A procedure to find malignant tumor cells in the body. A small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein. The PET scanner rotates around the body and makes a picture of where glucose is being used in the body. Malignant tumor cells show up brighter in the picture because they are more active and take up more glucose than normal cells do.
- Mammogram : An x-ray of the breast.
- Endoscopy: A procedure to look at organs and tissues inside the body to check for abnormal areas. An endoscope is inserted through an incision (cut) in the skin or opening in the body, such as the mouth. An endoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing. It may also have a tool to remove tissue or lymph node samples, which are checked under a microscope for signs of disease. For example, a colonoscopy may be done.
- Tumor marker test: A procedure in which a sample of blood, urine, or tissue is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances made by organs, tissues, or tumor cells in the body. Certain substances are linked to specific types of cancer when found in increased levels in the body. These are called tumor markers. The blood may be checked for the levels of CA-125, CgA, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), or prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

To swear or not to swear
There have been complaints from listeners about swearing during Broadcasting House this weekend from the Latitude Festival in Suffolk. The programme was live and a guest used the F-word. I want to apologise to listeners offended by the use of the word - it was inappropriate at that time of the day and in that context. The guest who used it, Irvine Welsh, apologised on air as soon as he said it and he apologised again to the BH team afterwards.
There is always an element of risk in doing live programmes. The BBC's Editorial Guidelines recognise that judgements about the use of swear words are difficult because they depend on tone and context and there is no consensus about which words are acceptable. Radio 4 is aimed at an adult audience and, unlike television, there is no watershed. In general, I think Radio 4 listeners have a high tolerance for swearing. We had 20 or so complaints in this case. But we attract just as many when we bleep or edit out swearing. Listeners argue we are insulting their intelligence and censoring when we do it.

If you'd ever read one of Irvine Welsh's books you might have anticipated this happening! Its rather like having Ozzy Osbourne or John Lydon as a live guest.
Frankly as 20 complained and about a million didn't I wouldn't worry too much.

BBC Radio 4 would be better if the language did in fact reflect how people in the UK actually spoke, rather than pandering to those people who have been given a "veto" over it by being able to automatically complain and automatically get the response you have posted!
I'm not saying that it should be encouraged, but stop making a fuss over a single usage.

I'm not offended by swearing -- and not offended by the bleeping out of certain swear words before the watershed.
I would add that my preference would be for the BBC to attempt to avoid swearing prior to the watershed, not to censor after the watershed, and not to beat themselves up too much if an occasional word gets through.
But I'd not start inviting Shaun Ryder onto CBeebies, either...
But what I don't want to see is the 'faux-swearing' that you used to get on some TV programs such as 'Eastenders'. Nobody, but nobody, ever tells anyone to 'naff off' in real life. If you want to include a phrase like that, use mild swearing if you want ('bugger' or similar), but otherwise don't use the phrase at all. 'faux swearing' just jars and sounds entirely wrong when you're striving for realism.
...unless of course you've given up on realism entirely, in which case you might as well use the Drokk! Stomm! and Grud! expletives of Judge Dredd...

There have been a couple of other 'we had a few complaints' issues raised on this blog.
I can't help wondering how representative these handful of complaints really are. I just don't know.
I'm not desperate to hear more swearing, but as with Briantist above, I'm not sure small numbers of people should have a veto.
The last similar topic was people complaining about a serious and important news item.
Has anyone ever surveyed a more representative sample of people to see if they are offended by specific issues/expletives?

Sadly, I can't fully agree with 'jimthought' or visciousvic [? vic, are you trying to be vicious or viscous, or a little of both ?] but I guess, as with smoking, if people consent to it, then that is fine - but doing it where it inconveniences and annoys other people is something else entirely.
Mr Rippon might say that Radio 4 is not the same as being trapped on public transport, and that one can always switch the radio off, whereas leaping from a moving train is not quite as easy. But maybe Radio 4 needs to maintain the oasis of decent behaviour found on the Quiet Carriage. Rather like the 'Quiet Carriage' no one is going to pretend that it will be obeyed perfectly but the choice is there.
But on a far more important note, and whilst there is at least some chance that Mr Rippon may be reading some of these responses - is it not about time that the BH 'team' made a pitch to replace the programme 'Saturday Live' with something a lot more amenable?
Using Sunday's programme as a template, Mrs Kearney could come 'down our way', present it live, have musicians and stand up comedy artisans and the like coming on to tell anecdotes and review the arts and so on. Go on, it would be much better !!

I've always been of the opinion that profanity has its place; used sparingly, to illustrate a point, it can be a powerful tool of self-expression. Those who pepper their prose with random expletives fail to realise that the power of swearing lies in its shock value, an effect diminished by over-use.
That said, I don't think the dramatised exchanges of Eastenders call for F-bombs or even milder terms of abuse. I have many more issues with the content of that show and the time of broadcast than any Radio 4 interview; the litany of perpetual conflict being piped into our homes is serving to help normalise these types of interactions in real-life and glamorise the type of domestic behaviour that would once have been considered abnormal or shameful.
I am somewhat conflicted on my views regarding 'questionable' content, though I do wish the BBC would stop hiding behind the watershed; around 75% of 7 year-olds have their own TV set in their bedroom and the idea that all these automatically fall silent at 9pm is frankly laughable. Broadcasters should be responsible where content is concerned irrespective of the time of transmission and end this ceasless scramble for the lowest common demominator, not least because there are many adults who are offended by or downright bored of vulgarity in the media.
On the other hand it never ceases to amaze me that tabloid newspapers will happily print gratuitous shots of a semi-naked female whilst employing numerous asterisks in the accompanying article. I do think that sex and violence are infinitely more corrosive than bad language.

Why is "Sex and Violence" always used together? I've never seen any violence on page three, nor have I ever experienced any violence when having sex. I can only presume that those who complain about sexandviolence are doing something terribly wrong in the bedroom, which presumably is why they have such a problem with it that they have to constantly complain!

Peter_Sym @ #15 I'm not talking about the portrayal of sex as an expression of love between two people, but sociologically, as a demeaning, exclusive (because most people are not represented in the sexual imagery we are fed) and frankly tacky way of selling us stuff.
In that context it IS about violence - the social violence which is inflicted upon all of us (and which, even if we put down the newspapers and turn off the TV, still assaults us from billboards and posters) hundreds of times each week.
Inclusive, fun portrayals of sex in the proper context are not shameful, only the commodification of visual sexual imagery as a method of social control and profit maximization.

I have no particular evidence for or against the above statement. But drawing the inference from the small number of complaints, and that people complain when 'bleeps' are used does slightly miss the point.
It is rather like saying that the Irish people objecting to the Lisbon treaty are a small minority. Maybe so, but they outnumber the people who, when asked democratically, were in favour of the treaty.
If you had been able to say that 30 people had complained about Sunday's show, asking for there to be 'more swearing', then your point might have some validity.
Again, I'm aware that I'm the pot calling your rather shiny kettle black. But plenty of people challenged on trains to moderate their language have started to use the 'It is on the BBC..' argument, and I sometimes wish that is one line of defence that they did not have access to... -
But Martha did get uncharacteristically schoolmarmish to tell the boys that only she should be allowed to swear, and reasserted authority - so I think that was sufficient to draw a line under the matter.

Surely Swearing on Television is just another example of the standards which are becoming acceptable today? I agree that much of the time swearing in not necessary but surely most people could rhyme the word ie. say sugar instead of the word which when used in its correct manner describes anal sex.
No body should be offended by the correct use of any word, even those which are often used as swear words.

I'm not surprised. Swearing is fast becoming common parlance. I hear the most offensive swear words used in conversations everyday in public places in front of toddlers and young children. In sports grounds, but more distressingly supermarkets. At least once every shopping trip I'll hear an adult use the vilest language towards their young offspring.
I often swear. I find it incredibly easy to know when and where I can use certain words and modify my speech. I don't need to think hard. This isn't a natural talent, it comes from being aware of where I am and what I'm doing. It comes easy because I care about other people. I care. Whenever you hear someone who slips a foul word out in the wrong place it's the surest sign that they believe they are far more important than anyone else. They may apologise, they may disagree that this isn't the case, it doesn't matter what they say, they've been revealed by their own mouth for what they think regardless of what is later said.
I've appeared enough times on stage, on radio and on TV you just don't swear (unless it's in the script). It's isn't too difficult to do. I can't accept the apologises of anyone who does it as I feel they don't mean the apology, they just don't want to be in trouble any more. Radio and TV appearances equal popularity and that equals money Kerrrrrching! Hence a quick apology.
The real shame is that swearing is fast becoming meaningless. We need these words. They can be great social tools, but they are bandied about without feeling and become powerless.
You kill our language you kill a piece of us all .

Dennis Skinner and others lit up our Parliament with gutsy, gritty, straight talking. We all massed around our TV screens for TW3 just to be a part of a show that was not shackled by a controller. We witnessed the attack on Bernard Levin and heard the occasional swear word. We were a part of broadcasting pushing the boundaries just a little further out.
Now we have a PC empire where a wimp is given full coverage but the testy "villain" barely gets a look in. The BBC seems to have forgotten the diversity of human attitudes and yet gives full play to ethnic groups. Even its news stories play out to a middle class audience instead of encompassing the "ordinary" not so articulate person with something to say.
There are plenty pf BBC presenters whose standards are way below what I expect from a National broadcaster. These people are similar to "tabloid" presenters with personal agendas that fit in with the PC brigade. How many people do the BBC think actually believe in PC?

There is, in my opinion, far too much use of bad language on Radio and TV. Bleeping out is not the answer but a silent gap would be better, thereby making it less obvious to the under-age viewer/listener that the person has sworn.
Additionally, please do not describe in the warnings to some programmes that strong language will be used, it's not strong language it's downright swearing. And finally, why not put in a time delay on live broadcasts then swearing could be edited out.

Nor is it good enough to say that people can always turn it off. They can only do so after the event and the BBC shouldn't need reminding that they are broadcasting into peoples homes; I wouldn't tolerate strangers using bad language in my living room, so why should the BBC be an exception?
Radio 4 listeners may have a high tolerance for many things, including swearing and being patronised, but it's still your job to discourage it. Leave the bad language for those situations where stress, shock or serious drama justify it. For everything else, particularly programmes involving celebrity rabble, let's leave it behind, please.

Personally I don't see the problem, who has the right to decide whether a word constitutes swearing or not?
There are far more offensive words that are not classed as swearing in my opinion. Add to that that to be offensive surely a word has to be aimed at someone in a descritptive manner and it makes a mockery of it.

So if we substitute the F-word with Drokk instead, doesnt that mean that Drokk means exactly the same and thus should be equally as offensive ?

Just as reprehensible is the 'Bob Geldof'- type use of expletive to imply that the speaker cares 'passionately' about something or that he 'at least' isn't part of the establishment.
Well, in my eyes, the establishment is mired in this desire to seek relevance or street-cred or whatever through profanity. It's annoying to see the likes of Catherine Tate, Johnathn Ross, Billy Connelly et all now firmly entrenched in lucrative 'family viewing' now that they made their mark in some sort of notoriety.

There would surely be no vibrancy in a society whose standards and values ossify through the generations.
The reality is that notions of good behaviour adapt and evolve with a changing society; that's why we no longer burn witches nor use legal process to oppress minorities.
I think it's more important that we impart to the next generation a breadth of knowledge and linguistic sophistication if we wish them to make considered moral choices.

A more important question is why the BBC dedicated so much airtime to this festival. There are dozens of festivals going on throughout the UK and many of them would be glad of the publicity. I realise that Sussex and Cambridge are within easy driving distance of London, and therefore almost within the BBC horizon, but as this festival had commercial sponsors they are the ones who should be paying for the advertising, not the licence payer.

I find myself agreeing with the majority of people here.
It does, however, strike me as bizarre that an editor should devote his blog to one swear word (commonly heard in playgrounds), when the level of English across the BBC is dropping to ridiculously childish levels.
There also seems to be a bigger matter going on here, which my friends and myself have discussed at length; Puritanical Censorship.
During the 1970s, and even moreso, the 80s, the BBC reacted to the post sexual revolution, post Hippy, and people driven actions, by changing its standards of acceptable broadcasting. Whilst shows like Benny Hills were relegated to the archives, comedians such as Dave Allen, the 'Not the Nine O'clock News' team and the 'Young Ones' appeared. Programming was allowed to challenge the Temperance Society generation, becoming grittier and more in keeping with the society of the day. Gradually, though, and rather surreptitiously, these freedoms have been eroded over the last 15 years. The cancellation of 'The Day Today' because viewers thought it was a genuine news programme, and felt stupid when they realised that they had missed the joke, appears to have been an early sign of this backward path.
Today, the tv schedules look more and more like the pre-change 1970s, and not just because of the repeats. Anything that is not completely bland, or elitist is not permitted. Strangely, I don't recall any fuss being made when opera singers appeared full-frontal naked at the opening of Wagners Ring Cycle, portraying the Rhine Sirens, despite this being before the watershed. Why? Because no child would bother to watch, only adults with a decent education and elitist appreciation of art! Pah.
Yet a notorious novelist slips accidentally, and speaks as he would normally on Radio4, and here we are. Does the BBC really believe that todays youth come home from school, put their knives away, crack open an alco-pop and settle down to Radio4? Please, let's try to exist in the 21st century. Swearing is part of the English language (as an English teacher, I should know), but should be used only to emphasise a certain point, or as a sign of exasperation. When used properly, a little bad language is a tool, when overused or improperly used, it reflects ignorance.

I've been a BBC viewer (and listener) for over 50 years. During that time I have seen standards gradually slip and it's terribly disappointing to see such a great broadcaster that once set the standards for decorum now joining other broadcasters reflecting the lowest common denominator.
I am not a prude – I've spent many hours in sports changing rooms and there is not an expletive I haven't hear or used myself, but I don't want to hear that sort of language broadcast on the radio or television.
Recently, I've heard BBC news presenters using phrases like 'pissed off' and "cock-up" at viewing times when children could be watching. It sets a poor example to easily influenced minds and reflects badly on the corporation. I hope the BBC addresses these issues.

I agree with you 100% , however, we have entered an age in which audience total is more important than BBC integrity. Very sad; very hard to believe by those who have known the BBC for many years, nevertheless very true.
What can we do about it? The BBC does have some minority programs. Perhaps there are still a few authors who can write foul language free. It might even start a new trend.

And the archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, said Sunday that Catholics who receive Communion while advocating gay marriage would "logically bring shame for a double-dealing that is not unlike perjury."

great plugin, its one of a kind, and I tried to look for alternatives since I had tried everything from my end to resolve an issue with it.
It seems when I click on the color square from my sidebar widget the page refreshes to an early post which had been tagged with the color.
All i see is just one post when I have tagged multiple posts with the color.
I see the slug in the address bar ex: http://www.domain.com/color/purple/ then the page redirects to just one post.
has anyone else encountered this problem?

Mayweather on Facing Pacquiao, The Lawsuit, Testing
By Rick Reeno
During a recent open workout to promote his upcoming fight with WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, former five division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25Kos) answered several questions related to a possible mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38Kos).
Mayweather challenges Ortiz on September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao defends his WBO welterweight title against Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12th, also at the MGM Grand. If both superstars prevail, the public pressure will continue for the two of them to reach an agreement for a 2012 mega-fight.
But, Mayweather advised BoxingScene.com that a fight with Pacquiao will never happen until the Filipino boxer agrees to a pre-fight Olympic style drug testing protocol, with USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency] regulating the random tests. Mayweather wants the American public to apply additional pressure to Pacquiao's side of the fence.
"I'm not scared [of Pacquiao]. I've been kicking ass since the 80's. I'm an American citizen. I want the Americans to stand behind me. Just step up and take the test. If you have nothing to hide, then take the test. I represent this country," Mayweather said.
"I represent the red, white and blue. I want my country to get behind me and stand behind me, because there is no country like America. Whoever is facing Floyd Mayweather has to step up and take the test."
Mayweather's suspicions regarding Pacquiao have resulted in an ongoing legal action. In December of 2009, the Filipino boxer filed a defamation suit in a Las Vegas court. In the legal papers, Pacquiao alleges that Mayweather accused him of taking performance enhancing drugs. Mayweather believes the lawsuit is only making the situation worse for Pacquiao.
"[Muhammad] Ali criticized his opponents and I criticize my opponents. It's obvious that if you say I said something and you get mad, it's obvious that it must be true," Mayweather said.
"Guys, they shoot shots at me all the time and say bad things about me all the time. I don't get mad and say 'I'm taking you to court.' I say 'okay, Victor Ortiz you don't like me, you're mad at me, okay we are going to have court inside the squared circle.'"
"When you see a certain running back in high school, you see him and say 'he's going to be a star in the NFL.' You see a certain track star and say 'they are going to be star and go to the Olympics.' But you have never seen nobody 25-years-old and all of a sudden he became good...think about it, think about it."

Griffins, Cyclopes, Monsters, and Giants--these fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters. Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in fact--in the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans.
As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground.
Like their modern counterparts, the ancient fossil hunters collected and measured impressive petrified remains and displayed them in temples and museums; they attempted to reconstruct the appearance of these prehistoric creatures and to explain their extinction. Long thought to be fantasy, the remarkably detailed and perceptive Greek and Roman accounts of giant bone finds were actually based on solid paleontological facts. By reading these neglected narratives for the first time in the light of modern scientific discoveries, Adrienne Mayor illuminates a lost world of ancient paleontology.
