Charles Darwin called it "a little world within itself." Sailors referred to it as "Las Encantadas"-- the enchanted islands. Lying in the eastern Pacific Ocean, straddling the equator off the west coast of South America, the Galapagos is the most pristine archipelago to be found anywhere in the tropics. It is so remote, so untouched, that the act of wading ashore can make you feel like you are the first to do so. Yet the Galapagos is far more than a wild paradise on earth--it is one of the most important sites in the history of science. Home to over 4,000 species native to its shores, around 40 percent of them endemic, the islands have often been called a "laboratory of evolution." The finches collected on the Galapagos inspired Darwin's revolutionary theory of natural selection. In The Galapagos, science writer Henry Nicholls offers a lively natural and human history of the archipelago, charting its course from deserted wilderness to biological testing ground and global ecotourism hot spot. Describing the island chain's fiery geological origins as well as our species' long history of interaction with the islands, he draws vivid portraits of the life forms found in the Galapagos, capturing its awe-inspiring landscapes, understated flora, and stunning wildlife. Nicholls also reveals the immense challenges facing the islands, which must continually balance conservation and everencroaching development. Beautifully weaving together natural history, evolutionary theory, and his...

New Zealand batter Henry Nicholls got out in one of the most bizarre manners in the third Test match against England in Leeds on Thursday off Jack Leach’s bowling. The ball ricocheted off the non-striker Daryl Mitchell’s bat and flew to mid off where Alex Lees completed an easy catch. The dismissal left everyone on the field including Jack Leach surprised. Nicholls was batting on 19 runs in the 56 th over of the first innings. He came down the track to a half volley delivery and punched a straight drive with some power.

The ball hit Mitchell’s bat and went straight to Lees who was fielding at mid-off. Leach was in utter shock looking at the proceedings, even as his teammates started to celebrate. Watch the video here: :flag-england: — England Cricket (@englandcricket) “He’s gone. How has it got there? How has it got there? Leach has no idea,” exclaimed Nasser Hussain who was commentating then. “Mitchell is at the non-striker’s end. He’s trying to get his bat out of the way, the umpire is diving out of the way and Lees is aware. Ahh! Mitchell’s middled it straight to mid-off. I cannot believe, I really can’t,” Hussain further screamed as the broadcasters showed replays of the dismissal. "It was unbelievable, I've never seen anythi...

Kane Williamson, Henry Nicholls Double Tons Put New Zealand On Top In Second Test vs Sri Lanka Aggressive double centuries for Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls powered New Zealand's dominance in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Wellington on Saturday • Agence France-Presse • Updated: March 18, 2023 01:33 PM IST Their partnership was the fifth-highest by any New Zealand combination and they became the country's first batters to reach 200 in the same innings. Sri Lankan captain Sri Lanka's bowlers struggled to generate life on a flat Basin Reserve pitch, forcing Karunaratne to set defensive fields during much of the mammoth partnership. Williamson and Nicholls batted at a lively clip from the outset, advancing quickly from a 155-2 overnight score and barely looking troubled as they unleashed an array of attacking strokes through the first two sessions. Williamson was impenetrable as he reached three figures for the third time in successive Tests, becoming the first New Zealander to pass 8,000 runs in the process. It was a sixth double-century for the 32-year-old -- whose unbeaten 121 was pivotal in a final-ball first Test in Christchurch earlier this week. Having resumed on 26, Williamson struck 23 fours and two sixes before holing out in the deep off spinner Jayasuriya as he tried to escalate the scoring rate. Nicholls marched on from his overnight 18 to reach three figures before pushing past his previous-best score of 174. His aggressive 240-ball knock, which featur...

1758-1830. He was born in Shirehampton, Bristol, the son of the agent to the politician Lord de Clifford of Kingsweston. Nicholls was described as displaying an honest bluntness that earned the respect of Lord de Clifford and saw him despatched at a young age, somewhat appropriately, to a school in Yorkshire. He entered the Navy on 18 April 1774 aboard the Plymouth-based guardship Albion 74, Captain Hon. John Leveson-Gower, and in October of the following year moved to the Pallas 36, Captain Hon.

Augustus Keppel, and then moved with both officers to the Victory 100, in which he fought at the Following the Nicholls was a brutal disciplinarian who was removed from his ship by the Spithead mutineers in 1797. After returning home from Newfoundland for the final time in December 1785 Nicholls remained on half-pay until 5 January 1787 when he took the Cygnet 14 out to Jamaica from Woolwich in March, thereafter patrolling off the Mosquito Shore.

With its absolutely massive population (1.33 billion or one-fifth of the world's population) it's obvious that China should have a massive impact on the world. Yet, it's one-child policy, for all the uncomfortable ethical questions it raises and the painful sacrifice made by millions of Chinese families, means that China's annual percentage growth rate is low r...

Speaking to “But it only underlines the wisdom and importance of [Elizabeth II’s] decisions taken at Sandringham [the family summit in January 2020], that you cannot be half-in and half-out. Those decisions are now the royal family’s insurance—when one of its members continues to break with convention, they can point out that he is speaking as Harry Windsor, not as the Duke of Sussex, working member of the royal family representing the nation. Then, there is the deep irony of a member of the royal family talking about how the country is judged around the world, which is often by and through the royal family. It shows a deep misunderstanding by him.” — Royal source Another source, described by the Nikkhah says that A former courtier told Nikkhah: “I think he is seeking inner peace and this becomes the target—he thinks if he can bring the media to heel, it will cure his pain. Sadly, I don’t think it will. He’s still defending his mother. Nothing will take that pain away.” No invite for Harry King Charles has not invited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the King’s Birthday Parade (aka the Trooping of the Color) next weekend.
