Talk:The World We Live In

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tone of this article needs to be changed. It sounds like praise for the series, not a neutral encyclopedia article. I'll try later this week. I don't have access to The World We Live In, though. --Jpkotta 06:51, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pics?

The tone has definitely improved, and the quotes help... Has anyone got scans or pictures or Life covers of the series? They would certainly spice up the page.

I still have a copy (in Dutch). It greatly influenced my views on the world when I was 10 years old and almost learned the book by heart. It is outdated in its views but most books are after 50 years. I disagree with the former comments because a neutral encyclopaedia article is not relevant for a book of this age and has to be valued in its timeframe and paradigmas. I can provide some pictures to lighten up the article.

The article is a valuable summary--but why on Earth wouldn't it include the actual dates when the various instalments appeared in Life? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.30.202.15 (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

--Written Word---

I would not believe everything that Bob Bakker says. He seems to have always critical of the Dinosaur mural, which was, of course, painted in the 1950's and was accurate for the information Paleontologists had at the time. Sometimes I feel that Mr. Bakker is "out to get" this monumental piece of History. Perhaps Bob Bakker is trapped in his own realm of knowledge and can not recognize the Past as it occurred. I suppose he now wants someone to paint feathers on the mural, since this is a relatively new discovery!
