An affectionate and eye-opening insider's guide to the world's great natural history museums
In Nature's Memory, zoologist Jack Ashby shares hidden stories behind the world's iconic natural history museums, from enormous mounted whale skeletons to cabinets of impossibly tiny insects.
Look closely and all is not as it seems- these museums are not as natural, Ashby shows us, as we might think. Mammals dominate the displays, for example, even though they make up less than 1 percent of species; there are many more male specimens than females; and often a museum's most popular draw - the dinosaur skeletons - are not actually real. Over 99 percent of museum collections are held in immense, unseen storehouses. And it's becoming clear that these institutions have not been as honest about their complex histories as they should be. Yet natural history museums are also the only museums that can save the world - it is just starting to be understood that their vast collections are indispensable resources in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate catastrophe.
Weaving together fresh historical research with surprising insights, Nature's Memory is a love letter to the joys, eccentricities and planet-saving potential of the world's best-loved museums.

Great Clean Alternative to Traditional Mouthwash, LOVE this!!
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been really impressed with these Boka mouthwash tablets. They’re fluoride‑free and alcohol‑free, which is exactly what I was looking for, and the hydroxyapatite is a nice bonus for supporting enamel without the harshness of traditional mouthwashes. The tablets dissolve easily, the flavor is refreshing without being overpowering, and there’s no burning sensation at all. Do NOT chew and swallow like I did the first time. Chew, get salva going and swish. My teeth never felt so clean!!!
I also love that they’re travel‑friendly and cut down on plastic waste compared to big bottles. My breath feels fresh, and my mouth feels clean without that chemical aftertaste. If you’re trying to switch to a cleaner, gentler oral‑care routine, these are a great option.

Tasty, effective, and helpful against thrush
Flavor Name: Citrus Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a good plastic-free, portable form of mouthwash. Pop one or two tablets in your mouth, chew well, add a little water if your mouth is particularly dry (mine is), swish, and spit. That's it. They don't burn like regular mouthwash, and they leave a nice flavor that isn't overpowering and that lasts longer than other mouthwashes have for me. It's a balanced flavor, if that means anything to you - basically, my mouth somehow feels right afterwards.
I was skeptical about the claim that these improve the mouth microbiome, but they've virtually eliminated the thick white layer (presumably thrush) that I've been fighting to clear off my tongue forever. So, yeah, these are definitely a winner.

More like a mint candy than mouthwash.
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Hard to describe this product. Does it work like your typical mouthwash? No. Does it leave your mouth feeling minty and fresh? Yes, to a certain extent. Would I consider this an alternative to mouthwash on a consistent basis? No, it's ok for traveling because it's easy to transport.
When you chew this tablet, it has the texture and feel of a traditional mint. It's chalky and breaks up easily.

Not a fan of this one
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am not a fan of this product. As many of the reviews noted, the flavor is very strong. I was surprised it wasn't more minty. This is a very herbal concoction. It also tastes of the other very strong herbs, especially the rosemary. According to the instructions, this product should be used once a day for 30 seconds. I prefer a product I can use twice a day for 45 seconds to a minute.
My experience is that it takes 30 seconds just to crush it up enough to swish it around and I don't have enough saliva in the morning due to overnight dry mouth. I have to add a little water. The tablets never crush completely and leave a mess in the sink that has to be carefully rinsed away. If I use them more often, my mouth dries out too much and tastes like the tablets all day long. It's not a bad taste but I expect it to go away after a half-hour (or so). They are really chalky.
The container isn't bad, but doesn't pour 1 tablet out at a time. Meh. I don't like touching a bunch of them each time. There is a desiccant packet in with the tablets to protect them. I am not sure this would stay closed during travel or be allowed on a plane in carry-on. It should travel ok otherwise because it's not a liquid, but I haven't tried it. I will probably not buy this product again, but in all honesty, I have bought far worse products and been disappointed far more by them.
