    We are blessed in this marvelous little burg with a healthy coterie of amateur and professional naturalists so I wanted to recommend a nice little tome surveying the history of the evolution of science as it developed in the United States beginning before Independence and continuing until the 1960's.  While not exhaustive in scope, it still gives a good overview of the singular and sometimes eccentric characters who developed the panorama of natural science in this country. The book is called "NATURAL HISTORY IN AMERICA" by Wayne Hanley.  If this is an interest I think you will like it.  On another note, I just got my copy of Jake Xerxes Fussel's new record and would be happy to burn a copy to any who are a fan of this artist. Oh, Roberto, I think I may have some carpet if you are still looking for some strips. SvH
