Ursula K. Le Guin 
 The Edwards Award recognizes one writer and a particular body of work: the 2004 panel cited the first four Earthsea volumes, The Left Hand of Darkness and The Beginning Place.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 The panel said that Le Guin "has inspired four generations of young adults to read beautifully constructed language, visit fantasy worlds that inform them about their own lives, and think about their ideas that are neither easy nor inconsequential".
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 At its 2009 convention, the Freedom From Religion Foundation awarded the Emperor Has No Clothes Award to Le Guin.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 A collection of Le Guin's works was published by the Library of America in 2016, an honor only rarely given to living writers.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 The National Book Foundation awarded Le Guin its Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, stating that she had "defied conventions of narrative, language, character, and genre, and transcended boundaries between fantasy and realism to forge new paths for literary fiction".
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 Jo Walton argued that Le Guin was important in both making the genre more open and accepting of new ideas, and in helping genre writers get mainstream success.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 A Wizard of Earthsea introduced the idea of a "wizard school", which would later be made more famous by the Harry Potter series of books, and with popularizing the trope of a boy wizard, also present in Harry Potter.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 The notion that names can exert power is also present in Hayao Miyazaki's 2001 film Spirited Away; critics have suggested that that idea started with Le Guin's Earthsea series.

 In 2004 the Sci Fi Channel adapted the first two books of the Earthsea trilogy as the miniseries Legend of Earthsea.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 Le Guin was highly critical of the adaptation, calling it a "far cry from the Earthsea I envisioned", objecting to the use of white actors for her red-, brown-, or black-skinned characters.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 Le Guin's novel The Left Hand of Darkness and novella Paradises Lost have both been adapted for theater.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 Reviewer Jack Helbig at the Chicago Reader wrote that the "adaptation is intelligent and well crafted but ultimately unsatisfying", mainly because it is extremely difficult to compress a complex 300-page novel into a two-hour stage presentation.
Ursula K. Le Guin 
 She also said she was better pleased with stage adaptations, including Paradises Lost, than screen adaptations of her work till date.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Fletcher Christian 
 Fletcher Christian (September 25, 1764 - 1793) was an English seaman on HMS Bounty when it sailed to Tahiti to collect breadfruit trees in 1787.
Fletcher Christian 
 The sexual imbalance (more men than women) and the slavery of the Tahitian men by the mutineers led to fighting and the deaths of most of the men.
Ichthyosaur 
 By the Upper Triassic they are similar in shape to dolphins and to fast predatory fish like tuna (convergent evolution).
Ichthyosaur 
 They are found in marine strata from the earliest Triassic to the Cretaceous, though the early proto-ichthyosaurs are sometimes put in the broader category of Ichthyopterygia.
Ichthyosaur 
 After transitional Triassic types like Mixosaurus and Cymbospondylus, they have essentially the same body shape.
Ichthyosaur 
 Although isolated ichthyosaur vertebrae are quite common, the first fossil which showed the ichthyosaur form was found by Mary Anning (1799–1847) and her brother Joseph.
Ichthyosaur 
 The first complete ichthyosaur fossil was found in 1811 by Mary Anning in Lyme Regis, along the Jurassic Coast.
Ichthyosaur 
 Mary Anning's first great discovery was made shortly after her father's death when she was just twelve.
Ichthyosaur 
 In 1810 her bother Joseph found what he thought was a crocodile skull, but the rest of the animal was not in evidence.
Ichthyosaur 
 Mary kept searching and a year later a storm weathered away part of the cliff and exposed part of the rest of the skeleton of the 17 ft (5.2m) long creature, which she was able to dig out of the cliff and collect with a little help from local quarrymen.p33–41 Anning later discovered three more species.
Ichthyosaur 
 In 1821 William Conybeare and Mary’s old friend Henry De la Beche, published a paper which analyzed the specimens found by Mary and others.
Ichthyosaur 
 They concluded that ichthyosaurs were a previously unknown kind of marine reptile, and they decided there had been at least three species.
Ichthyosaur 
 Some of their characteristics were unique: they had enormous eyeballs, sometimes more than 25 cm in diameter.
Ichthyosaur 
 They had large hands ('manus') with up to 20 bones in a single digit, and up to 10 digits per manus.
Ichthyosaur 
 Ichthyosaurs averaged about 2–4m (6–13 ft) in length; a few were smaller, and some species grew much larger.
Ichthyosaur 
 Built for speed, like modern tuna, some ichthyosaurs appear also to have been deep divers, like some modern whales.
Ichthyosaur 
 According to weight estimates by Ryosuke Motani, a  Stenopterygius weighed around  whilst a  Ophthalmosaurus icenicus weighed 930–950 kg (1.03–1.04 short tons).
Ichthyosaur 
 Scientists have wondered whether ancient reptiles like ichthyosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded.
Ichthyosaur 
 Scientists from the University of Plymouth studied many animals that dive and hold their breath, from insects to whales.
Ichthyosaur 
 They found that larger animals can hold their breath longer than smaller animals because they can store more oxygen for their size, and they found this difference was much bigger for warm-blooded animals than for cold-blooded animals.
Ichthyosaur 
 They concluded that the large size of ichthyosaurs, like whales, meant they were more likely to be warm-blooded than cold-blooded.
Ichthyosaur 
 Its similarities to fish are not homologous, caused by common descent, but analogous, caused by selection in the same environment:
Ichthyosaur 
 "This sea-going reptile with terrestrial ancestors converged so strongly on fishes that it actually evolved a dorsal fin and tail in just the right place and with just the right hydrological design.
Ichthyosaur 
 These structures are all the more remarkable because they evolved from nothing – the ancestral terrestrial reptile had no hump on its back or blade on its tail to serve as a precursor".
Ichthyosaur 
 The eyes of ichthyosaurs are large in comparison to the size of the body, suggesting they hunted by sight even in dimly-lit waters or at night.
Ichthyosaur 
 In fact, ichthyosaurs hold the record for eye size: the largest was 264mm in diameter (~10.4 inches), from the species Temnodontosaurus platyodon.
Ichthyosaur 
 Some specimens of Mixosaurus and Stenopterygius were well preserved in the black mudstones of Germany.
Ichthyosaur 
 These fossils were preserved in such fine sediment that the fossils were almost perfect, with only a few bones disturbed or missing.
Ichthyosaur 
 The outline of the body shape could be seen as a thin carbon film.p10 Even though the soft parts had rotted away long ago, they left their imprint behind.
Ichthyosaur 
 For the first time, scientists could see clearly that the tail of ichthyosaurus was shaped like the tail of a fish.
Ichthyosaur 
 Live birth was always assumed for ichthyosaurs, because with their paddles they could never have manoeuvred on land to lay eggs like turtles do.
Ichthyosaur 
 As reptiles, they produced cleidoic eggs, but they were entirely aquatic and their eggs developed inside the mother.
Ichthyosaur 
 Once more, evidence came from the early Jurassic of Germany, where several fine examples clearly show embryos inside the rib cage of the adult.
Ichthyosaur 
 A recent study of the earliest ichthosaur, Chaohusaurus, from the Lower Triassic shows an early example of live birth.
Ichthyosaur 
 "Its headfirst birth posture... strongly indicates a terrestrial origin of viviparity, in contrast to the traditional view.
Ichthyosaur 
 The tail-first birth posture in derived ichthyopterygians, convergent with the conditions in whales and sea cows, therefore is a secondary feature".
Ichthyosaur 
 They comment "obligate marine amniotes appear to have evolved almost exclusively from viviparous land ancestors".
Ichthyosaur 
 Ichthyosaurs became extinct during the Upper Cretaceous, about 30 million years before the K/T extinction event.
Ichthyosaur 
 As life died off in the lower (benthos) levels of the sea, so did the predators at the top of the food chain.
Ichthyosaur 
 Ichthyosaurs had been dwindling in numbers for some time; they were no longer the force they once were in the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic.
Ichthyosaur 
 By the middle Jurassic, it was thought thought they all belonged to the single clade, the Ophthalmosauridae.
Ichthyosaur 
 For the last 50+ years it has been thought that only one genus, Platypterygius, was known at the time of the anoxic event in the Upper Cretaceous.
Ichthyosaur 
 This review found evidence for four genera of ichthyosaur only a few million years before the extinction event.
Ichthyosaur 
 This means that there was still diversity in ichthyosaurs a few million years before the extinction event.
Ichthyosaur 
 The mosasaurs were probably ambush hunters, whose sit-and-wait strategy apparently proved most successful.
Ichthyosaurus 
 The first complete skeleton was discovered in the early 19th century (1810/11) by Mary Anning in the Dorset Jurassic Coast.
Ichthyosaurus 
 Many more specimens were found in Europe, especially from the limestone quarries in Holzmaden, southern Germany.
Ichthyosaurus 
 It was thought at first that Ichthyosaurus laid eggs on land, but fossil evidence shows that the females gave birth to live young.
Ichthyosaurus 
 They were well-adapted to life as fully pelagic organisms because they never needed to come onto land.
Ichthyosaurus 
 The German fossils also featured the outline of Ichthyosaurus skin, showing it had a fleshy dorsal fin on its back and a large caudal fin.
Ichthyosaurus 
 Still, hunting by sight was the creature's main feeding activity; it had huge, sensitive eyes, protected by bony shields.
Stenopterygius 
 It is like the poster reptile of the ichthyosaur family, Ichthyosaurus, but with slightly narrower flippers  and a smaller head.
Stenopterygius 
 Stenopterygius was more streamlined than the earlier ichthyosaurs of the Triassic period, and likely swam faster in pursuit of prey.
Stenopterygius 
 Some Stenopterygius fossils have been found with the remains of juveniles inside--clearly instances of mothers dying before they could give birth.
Temnodontosaurus 
 McGowan also mentions that in the museum collections are some teeth and bones which suggest even larger ichthyosaurs existed.
Temnodontosaurus 
 Ichthyosaurs hold the record for eye size: the largest was 264mm in diameter (~10.4 inches), from the species Temnodontosaurus platyodon.
Californosaurus 
 It had four paddle-shaped flippers and sharp teeth in long, pointed jaws (looking a bit like a dolphin).
Californosaurus 
 The long-snouted head is small in comparison with the rest of the body, as in basal ichthyosaurs such as Mixosaurus and Cymbospondylus.
Californosaurus 
 The tail is sharply turned downwards, in common with more advanced ichthyosaurs, with a small vertical fluke.
Cymbospondylus 
 No doubt, like other large marine reptiles and present-day aquatic mammals, it had a wide oceanic distribution.
Cymbospondylus 
 The one metre long head of Cymbospondylus, with large jaws, contained rows of teeth adapted for catching and holding on to fish, belemnites, and cephalopods such as ammonites.
Cymbospondylus 
 The long tail would have been excellent for swimming, and allowed Cymbospondylus to move at fast speeds and efficiently hunt down shoals of swimming fish.
Cymbospondylus 
 Adult Cymbospondylus probably spent much of their time hunting in deep offshore water, only coming into shallow water to breed or to catch seasonally available prey.
Cymbospondylus 
 Like other ichthyosaurs, Cymbospondylus probably gave birth to live young, as it had no way to lay eggs.
Cymbospondylus 
 The eel-like tail of Cymbospondylus made up almost half the total body length, and it is possible that the tail was used as a primary swimming mechanism.
Mixosaurus 
 Fossils are known from Alaska, Canada, China, Timor, Indonesia, Italy, Nevada, New Zealand, Spitsbergen, and Svalbard.
Mixosaurus 
 Mixosaurus seems to have been a transitional form between the more primitive eel-shaped icthyosaurs such as Cymbospondylus and the more advanced Shatsasaurs and Euichthyosaurs (the latter including the familiar dolphin- or porpoise-shaped icthyosaurs).
Ophthalmosaurus 
 Ophthalmosaurus was an ichthyosaur of the Upper Jurassic (165 to 150 million years ago), named after its large eyes.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 Well-preserved skeletons, ranging in age from juveniles to adults, have been found in Europe, North America and Argentina.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 They were protected by bony plates (sclerotic rings), which most likely assisted to maintain the shape of the eyeballs against water pressure at depth.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 The size of the eyes and the sclerotic rings suggests that Ophthalmosaurus hunted at a depth where there is not much light or that it may have hunted at night when a prey species was more active.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 Calculations suggest that a typical Ophthalmosaurus could stay submerged for approximately 20 minutes or more.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 Even assuming a conservative speed of 1 m/s, an Ophthalmosaurus would be able to dive to 600 meters and return to the surface within 20 minutes.
Ophthalmosaurus 
 The family Ophthalmosauridae continued into the Upper Cretaceous, but this genus became extinct at the end of the Jurassic period.

Philip Carteret 
 As soon as he had returned from his first trip, Carteret was put in charge of HMS Swallow to go on a second circumnavigation with Samuel Wallis who sailed in the HMS Dolphin.
Philip Carteret 
 The Swallow was in bad condition and the success of the long trip shows Carteret's courage and skill.
Philip Carteret 
 He was put on half pay, and in 1773, he wrote the story of the voyage as part of a book about the voyages of Byron, Wallis, Carteret and Cook.
Philip Carteret 
 The book's editor John Hawkesworth, made changes to the story, so Carteret wrote his own book which was not printed until 1965.

Fold mountain 
 Fold mountains are mountains formed mainly by the effects of folding on layers in the upper part of the Earth's crust.
Fold mountain 
 In the time before plate tectonics became well understood, the term was used for  mountain belts, such as the Himalayas.
Fold mountain 
 The main mechanism causing a thickening of the crust at these sites of continent-continent collision along boundary is thrust faulting.
Fold mountain 
 Fold mountains are usually formed from sedimentary rocks which accumulated along the margins of continents.
Fold mountain 
 When plates and the continents riding on them collide, the accumulated layers of rock may crumple and fold like a tablecloth that is pushed across a table, particularly if there is a mechanically weak basal layer such as salt.
Fold mountain 
 The Jura mountains  a series of sub-parallel mountainous ridges formed by folding over a Triassic salt bed due to thrust movements as the Alps pushed into Europe.

Boris Berezovsky 
 Specialists in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials were sent to Berezovsky's home as a "precaution".
Boris Berezovsky 
 A post-mortem examination carried out by the Home Office pathologist found the cause of death was consistent with hanging and there was nothing pointing to a violent struggle.
Boris Berezovsky 
 However, after an inquest into the death in March 2014 the coroner, Mr Peter Bedford, recorded an open verdict commenting, "I am not saying Mr Berezovsky took his own life, I am not saying Mr Berezovsky was unlawfully killed.
