2.0 out of 5 stars
Are you KIDDING?,
By sarahtonin (los angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota - Special Publication no 286 (Geological Society Special Publication) (Hardcover)
$190? Seriously? All right, so it's a specialized publication. But I wonder what the point of sponsoring huge studies on extremely important subjects is (uhm, analysis of the earliest known forms of life, anyone??) if you're going to go out of your way to make the knowledge inaccessible to the general public.
Actually, I sort've wonder this about academia in general: "Heeey, we're going to use public money to vigorously study all this awesome stuff! Then we're going to write our results in (often unnecessarily) complex language and make people pay to read it! COOL!!" Then these same people wonder why the public "doesn't care" about their research. Yeesh! .....errrrrr, ok ok. Maybe I'm just cranky because I really want to read it :< |
