The White Horses of the West of England: With Notices of Some Other Ancient Turf-monuments
W. C. Plenderleath
@Cult_Archaeo FWIW, I think this particular drawing is probably based on William Plenderleath's drawing of the LMW, from his 1891 book 'The white horses of the West of England: with notices of some other ancient turf-monuments' (p. 39): https://t.co/aR3TjF8Jeo https://t.co/0FLkO45QSr

Lonely Planets: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life
David Grinspoon
@GarryPNolan David Grinspoon is for the most part an excellent, open-minded astrobiologist, it’s a shame you two are at odds here. He has a nice chapter in his book Lonely Planets about advanced aliens and has previously looked into alien communication via DNA (see: https://t.co/2oOqPL85oz )
