I like turtles! So today when stumbling around on the internet I found a cool little piece on brainpickings.com about a book from the 1820's that shows wonderful illustrations of the anatomy of turtles. The book Anatome Testudinis Europaeae by the German physician and naturalist Ludwig Heinrich Bojanus (1776–1827). The two-volume is in Latin, featuring some stunning images of turtle anatomy, was published in 1820 and is now in public domain, digitized by Harvard for your viewing pleasure. So enjoy!

How about throwing the idea of a luxury hotel out and staying in a lodge on a remote Swedish island in a triangular hut. Designed by Stockholm architects Jagnefalt Milton, each Black Lodge will have wooden walls that fold open so that guests can open the room out to the elements as much or as little as they prefer. The only furniture inside will be wooden boards, which can be used as tables, beds or benches, plus stools.
