fossils, climate, and where swallows go in the winter.
The difference now is that you’ll understand stars better if you know
about atoms, and vice versa. It’s the same with fossils and climate.
Everything connects, not by sentimental holism, but in physical and
chemical processes that gradually reassemble dem dry
bones of Mother Nature.

solve many other obstinate mysteries, only the cross-disciplinary
routes may do."...
