Seed Magazine

Seed is one of those magazines that every time I receive it in the mail, I drop everything to read the informative articles and enjoy the exquisite photographs. In each issue, there are two-page layouts that are solely devoted to beautiful photographs and a quote. Each time that I receive Seed Magazine in the mail, I will post these quotes. Here are the quotes from the June/July 2006 issue:

"The landscape and culture of Russian research and science has shifted--and, in places, been dismantled--to make way for western approaches to R+D."

"Future historians of science may look back and consider violent young elephants as symbols of a dramatic epistemic turning point in science and culture."

"Umbraphilia is not only an addiction, but a way of life. The more common term 'eclipse chaser' is nearly synonymous, but somehow does not convey the depth of commitment to this lifelong endeavor."

"Symmetry conditions our understanding of the universe more completely than any of these other ideas."
