...most basic level the Brownian fantasy is that coincidences aren't just chance, and things are not just things: they mean something. Brown's hero, Robert Langdon, is after all a symbologist (following a branch of human intellectual inquiry that - it cannot be stated enough times - doesn't exist, at Harvard or anywhere else). Beneath his learned, oddly asexual caress, objects come to life and become symbols. A V isn't just a V, it's a chalice, a symbol of the eternal feminine. Chaos is secretly order.

It arrives with the blessings of McCartney and Starr, the group's surviving members, and of Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison; all were on board to expand and exploit a form that didn't exist when the Beatles were shaking up the world.

...truth is that scientists have only the foggiest idea of how many animals and plants exist on the planet. Estimates of the total number of species range wildly, from 5 million to 30 million to as many as 100 million. Although multitudes of uncharted animals and plants may be hiding in the tropical rain forest or at the bottom of the ocean, many new species are discovered today in the lab, where scientists examine the DNA of what appears to be a single, widely distributed species only to find that it's actually a collection of separate species that look...
