Bir yapı veya eserdeki harikalığı anlayabilmek ve takdir edebilmek için, çoğu zaman o yapı veya eser hakkında detaylı bilgi edinmek, onun hakkında düşünmek gerekir. Örneğin Mısır piramitleri hakkında detaylı bilgisi olmayan biri, bunları sadece çöl ortasındaki taş yığınları olarak görebilir, hatta neden dünyanın 7 harikasından biri olduklarına bir anlam veremeyebilir.

Evolutionary Physiology. On stability and change in living beings.

by Luca Munaron ...

The vast diversity of living forms we have the privilege to admire is so articulate that it lends itself only loosely to our frequently clumsy and ambiguous attempts at classification. Big organisms live alongside single microscopic unicellular structures. Such a wide variety of forms exhibits a deep unity of architecture based on universal qualities. Among these, perhaps the most intriguing are ... Read more

Disarticulation and Preservation of Fossil Echinoderms: Recognition of Ecological-Time Information in the Echinoderm Fossil Record

Series series Elements of Paleontology
The history of life on earth is largely reconstructed from time-averaged accumulations of fossils. A glimpse at ecologic-time attributes and processes is relatively rare. However, the time-sensitive and predictability of echinoderm disarticulation makes them model organisms to determine post-mortem transportation and allows recognition of ecological-time data within paleocommunity accumulations. ...
