Reposting resources for 55-77

I was going to look and see how many of the pictures mentioned in chapters 55 and 56 I could find online, but an enterprising soul did the work for me! I highly recommend looking at them, especially chapter 55’s.

Here is the citation for my show and tell piece:

Smith, Jeff. Bone. Columbus, OH: Cartoon, 2004. Print.

I got it through the library's Summit program, if anyone wants to check it out as well. It took a couple of weeks to get here, but it's worth a look if you ever get a chance!

This guy supposedly ate primarily sharks and other whales. Its scientific name is Leviathan melvillei.

     I know this is a little late, but while reading the "Cetology" chapter, it kept reminding me of something I'd heard before. Finally found it:

Tavener's composition was based on the story of Jonah, but the first three minutes seem to have a real Melville flavor. Or perhaps this is just one of my own "Extracts."
     Fun fact: this album was re-released at the dawn of punk in 1977 on Ringo Starr's financial disaster of a label, "Ring O'Records."

Links to the videos I plan on showing today in class. Enjoy!
