Teachers  and  Students

Much of this web-site is intended for use by teachers and students, but it does not attempt to replace the information found in books.  It provides links to a large number of web-sites that offer a vast amount of information.

A good book, written by a knowledgeable author with skill in presentation, is hard to beat as a source of information and inspiration.  

This web-site does not everywhere try to answer questions: in some places it is even intended to provoke them.  It is not constructed in a linear fashion, and it often digresses or refers to other topics and other pages, in order to stress the relationships between many apparently different things.  Some sections are even duplicated in different pages.

If you think that this web-site is potentially or actually useful, please let me know; I am always looking for ways of improving it and making it more useful, and I welcome suggestions or corrections. 

What is this graph?  It says that whether you are thinking about animals, birds, bridges or buildings, there are far more small ones than big ones.  So if you look only at big, bright or famous things, you will see far less than if you look in more detail.  If you have a habit of looking at many different things, it can be useful when your job sends you away from home, because there will be more to look at when you have some time to spare in a strange place.

If we are very narrow in our interests, we may look around and sing, with the great Peggy Lee – "Is that all there is?".  But even the smallest of subjects can provided a life-time of interest.  So, on the other hand, perhaps it is better to go with Louis Armstrong – "What a wonderful world."
