FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Title page of first edition

A History of British Fishes is a natural history book by William Yarrell,
serialised in 19 parts from 1835, and then published bound in two volumes in
1836. It is a handbook describing every type of fish then known to occur in the
British Isles. Yarrell was a London bookseller and newsagent with the time and
income to indulge his interest in natural history. He was a prominent member of
several natural history societies, had an extensive library and collection of
specimens, and a wide network of naturalist friends who helped him garner
material for his writings, notably his book on fishes and the 1843 A History of
British Birds. He followed Thomas Bewick's example with up-to-date data,
accurate illustrations, and detailed descriptions. The woodcut illustrations
were drawn by Alexander Fussell, engraved by John Thompson, and published by
John Van Voorst. Yarrell died in 1856; the third edition was produced
posthumously. The book was a commercial success and became a standard reference
work. (Full article...)

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Angkor

Cambodia has three sites on the list of World Heritage Sites, as designated by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
World Heritage Sites have been nominated by signatories to the 1972 UNESCO World
Heritage Convention. Cambodia ratified the convention on 28 November 1991.
Angkor (pictured) was listed in 1992 when the country was briefly governed by
the United Nations mission after the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, in line with the
1991 Paris Peace Agreements. The site was immediately placed on the List of
World Heritage in Danger in order to quickly and efficiently deal with urgent
problems of conservation. In 2004, Angkor was removed from the endangered list.
The Temple of Preah Vihear was listed in 2008 and the Sambor Prei Kuk temple
complex in 2018. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Thyroid hormones are hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, namely
triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). They are tyrosine-based hormones that
are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. T3 and T4 are partially
composed of iodine, derived from food. A deficiency of iodine leads to decreased
production of T3 and T4, enlarges the thyroid tissue and will cause the disease
known as simple goitre. This illustration shows the synthesis of thyroid
hormones, as seen on an individual thyroid follicular cell.
