Sciences > Zoology Eating habits of Great White sharks

1 of 11

Contrary to what sensationalist movie makers would have us think, humans are not really part of the great white's regular diet. Occasionally we'll flounder around near the shore when the weather's good but great whites generally prefer slightly deeper waters and, here's the good part, fatter fish.As the sole survivor of its g...

Sciences > Zoology Do organisms always evolve into more complex forms?

5 of 29

No. And that's what's so brilliant about it! I remember very clearly, in one of my Zoology lectures, now so long ago, our lecturer trying to hammer into us this simple fact. The focus of his statement was slightly different, I must admit. What he actually said, more than a few times over, is that a more complex species is not... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues A woman should not have to change her surname after marriage

1 of 1

Decades have passed since women were freed from the restrictions and implications of male ownership (at least in some societies), and yet the majority of women still opt to change their surnames when marrying, more often than not because that's just the way it is'.I recently needed to make this decision and found myself large...

The catch is that trainers know how to use these collars correctly and sensibly.It is all very well to argue that these collars cause no harm when used appro... More..

Pets & Animals > Cat Psychology Friendlier cats: Male or female?

24 of 29

My first impulse when considering this debate was to side with the male supporters. My family has owned, or, lets be honest, played host to, a number of cats over the years. The males, on average, have tended slightly more to friendliness than their female house mates. Trusting in the simple maths argument we might leave it a... More..

Food & Drink > Coffee The history of coffee

46 of 46

A young boy trudges up the volcanic slopes of a coffee plantation followed closely by his youngest sister to whom walking is still a novelty. His grandmother has also come. This is coffee picking season in El Salvador. The entire family's livelihood depends on this month and they've all gathered here to see it through. The co... More..
