Well, it's taken a year of arguing, praying, begging, persuading, shouting, hundreds of emails and a ton of research, but the BibliOdyssey book is finally in release!
Yay.
It's in bookshops in UK/USA in early/mid-November and elsewhere a bit later.
Site announcement.
fmd, it was a lot of work.
The venerable JM is back on board at the nonist after a digital sabbatical and recharge, and delivers a great post about ocean mapping in Polynesia in days gone by - using bamboo.

Man, if these things really are handcrafted multiple-wood toys with inlay and interlocking hinge joints, there is no way on earth I would let a child near them. I, on the other hand, would love to play with them. Unless they're plastic?? Nothing pings a plastic look but the pics aren't big enough to tell I don't think. Must cost a packet. [via]

I really couldn't figure out from the bodgy online translations what this is about - I think it's memorializing some military event - save that it's a new (not quite finished) public sculpture in (I think) Moscow. These are meant to be swimming horses so presumably water will be cascading down when it's finished. More images: here and here.
