Lovecraft mentioned "Serpent people" in a story or two, but never really fleshed out the concept. I find his intelligent Pre-Cambrian Crinoids a lot more interesting. Re parrots' brains... yes, their brain-to-body-mass ratios are high, but, well, they're pretty small overall. There's probably an absolute size (or at least number of neurons) as well as relative size needed for intelligence. I mean, put a human brain in something the size of Amphicoelias, and its brain-to-body-mass ratio would be tiny, but it would still be as intelligent as a human. Aaronovitch, Ben (11 July 2017).

Equally, I also loved to see all the lessons finally bearing fruit and being put to good use (not just by Peter).

A second article, this time on the subject of brain size and intelligence in dinosaurs, appeared in a 2008 issue of the Czech magazine Svĕt. The article, by Vladimír Socha (and written in Czech of course), includes a discussion of hypothetical intelligent dinosaurs [this section shown below], and what will interest Tet Zoo readers in particular is its reference to Nemo's Avisapiens. This is the first time Avisapiens has appeared in print if, that is, you don't count Nemo's portfolio (available here). False Value By Ben Aaronovitch". penguinrandomhouse.com. Penguin Random House .

Peter Grant is facing fatherhood, and an uncertain future, with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Rather than sit around, he takes a job with émigré Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's new London start-up: the Serious Cybernetics Company. The book was released on 20 February 2020. [5] [6] Tales from the Folly [ edit ] Sorry, I was still a bit carried away with the Crimes of Grindelwald movie. I thank thee, Ben Aaronovitch, for keeping my faith in urban fantasy and their wizards. Peter Grant is still my man, he is a solid character that's skillful, dedicated and dependable. Boring? Not a chance. Peter, as his colleagues and guvs always said, had a penchant for situations gone pear-shaped. Despite having the rest of the London police force, his enigmatic master, his river lover, and his diligent apprentice on his six, the threat from the elusive super villain Faceless Man and his minions was just too big. Aaaand it's getting more dire in this book, which is thrilling ride from start to finish. Definitely as good as Foxglove Summer, now spiced with Arthurian and Mithraic myths. Aaronovitch has seamlessly tailored a magical story based on these myths but made it fresh and entertaining with all the references of places and people in the urban environment - it is so immersive! So this book leaves me feeling conflicted. On one hand, I'm glad that the Martin Chorley subplot is somewhat resolved now, but to have it somewhat resolved in such a fashion is highly unsatisfactory. I wanted something more--I still want more--and that something is an end to Lesley May as well. Killing Chorley and leaving her on the run did not and still does not sit well with me.Frank Caffrey; LFB ( London Fire Brigade) Fire Investigator, ex- para and a key "associate" of the Folly. It’s witty, fun, and full of vivid characters, and the plot twists will keep even seasoned mystery fans guessing.”— Publishers Weekly
