What was Lewis Carroll like?

...account with sadness. I am not in the ordinary sense a biographer. I cannot set down a critical estimate, a cold, dispassionate summing-up of a man I loved; but I can write of a few things that happened when I was a little girl, and when he used to say to me that I was "his little girl."

...account to assess climate. After all the traditional definition of 30 years is not a very bad time period. But even on multi decadal timescales the science has revealed that there is also variability, perhaps less in the global mean temperature than in the regional temperatures certainly.

Stonehenge before the First World War

...account any large object appearing on it, such as a horse or tree or a big animal, looks very much bigger than it would on land with a broken surface.
