r influential architects of the time, such as donato bramante and raphael. d. burns argues that social mobility was also important. entrepreneurs, prosperous from agriculture in the veneto, commissioned the promising local architect to design their country villas and their urban mansions. in venice the aristocracy were anxious to co-opt talented artists, and palladio was given the chance to design the buildings that have made him famous— the churches of san giorgio maggiore and the redentore, both easy to admire because they can be seen from the city's historical centre across a stretch of water. e. he tried his hand at bridges—his unbuilt version of the rialto bridge was decorated with the large pediment and columns of a temple —and, after a fire at the ducal palace, he offered an alternative design which bears an uncanny resemblance to the banqueting house in whitehall in london. since it was designed by …

contains detailed models of the major buildings and is leavened by portraits of palladio's teachers and clients by titian, veronese and tintoretto; the paintings of his venetian buildings are all by canaletto, no less. this is an uncompromising exhibition; many of the drawings are small and faint, and there are no sideshows for children, but the impact of harmonious lines and satisfying proportions is to impart in a viewer a feeling of benevolent calm. palladio is history's most therapeutic architect. i.

s. b. the cause and timing of the ascent of dinosaurs has have been much debated. it has been impossible to draw any specific conclusions because the transition between the origin of dinosaurs and their ascent to dominance has not been sampled in detail. "there is a geochemical signature of something important happening, probably an asteroid impact, just before the time in which familiar dinosaur-dominated communities appear," said dr. paul e. olsen, a professor of earth and environmental sciences at columbiauniversity's lamont-doherty earth observatory in palisades, n.y. c. olsen and his colleagues studied vertebrate fossils from 80 sites in four different ancient rift basins, part of a chain of rifts that formed as north america began to split apart from the supercontinent that existed 230-190 million years ago. in the layer of rock corresponding to the extinction, the scientists found elevated amounts of the rare element iridium. a precious metal …

former lake basins from virginia to nova scotia. although individual species cannot usually be identified solely from their footprints — the tracks of a house cat, for example, resemble those of a baby tiger —footprints are much more plentiful than fossil bones and can provide a more complete picture of the types of animals walking around. "it makes it very easy for us to tell the very obvious signals of massive fauna change," dr. olsen said. because the sediment piles up quickly in lake basins, the researchers were able to assign a date to each footprint, based on the layer of rock where it was found. they determined that the mix of animals walking across what is now the east coast of north america changed suddenly about 200 million years ago. f. the tracks of several major reptile groups continue almost up to the layer of rock marking the end …
