It's just a boat, but what a boat it is! Five airtight burial pits have been discovered adjacent to the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Two of those pits contained two boats constructed of cedar of Lebanon and in near-perfect condition. Some 4,500 years old, the first boat was in 1,224 pieces ready for reassemlby for its celestial journey (hence the name "solar boat"). The boat was reassembled in a purpose-built modern structure to ensure proper climate control and permit viewing of the boat in properly filtered light. Also recovered were ropes, knotted ropes with sailors' knots still in use today, various implements and other objects. The reconstructed boat is 43.4m/142.5 ft. long, and is complete.

The modernist museum structure is a bit of an eyesore and controversial because it intrudes upon and clashes with the setting of the Great Pyramid. It was important to locate the boat directly above its point of discovery, so intrusion was inevitable. But the modernist structure redeems itself inside, where it forms a wonderful venue for display of the boat.

The second boat, after initial exploration with a fibre-optic camera, was resealed in its tomb. The three remaining pits were found empty.

I was standing at the kitchen window yesterday watching a few squirrels chase each other around the base of a tree. All of the sudden they scattered, most of them made a beeline for the garage roof where there is a hole under the eaves for them to slip into. Without a doubt, I knew our buddy "Mr Redtail" was in the yard.I grabbed my camera and went outside and sure enough, there he was sitting high up in one of the trees out back.

The re-emerging field of ethnoecology offers a promising way to document and analyze human-environment interactions. This collection brings the discipline into sharp focus, conveying local understandings of environments and proposing a way of looking at the relationship between humans and the natural world that emphasizes the importance of cognition in shaping behavior. Case studies by international experts explore the varied views of scholars on the human dimension of conversation and the different views of local peoples regarding their own environments. Filled with peoples' voices from North and South America, Africa, and Asia, these cases cover a range of issues: natural resource conservation and sustainable development, the relationship between local knowledge and biodiversity, the role of the commons in development, and the importance of diversity and equity in environmental management. As the only volume to address the status of this increasingly multidisciplinary field—especially as it relates to the differential power of multiple stakeholders—Ethnoecology: Situated Knowledge/Located Lives is intended for a wide range of specialists not only in social and natural sciences but also in agricultural studies. It conveys the overriding importance of this powerful methodological approach in providing insiders' perspectives on their environment and how they manage it. CONTENTS
