Changing Vistas
I am sure all of us at one time have been awestruck by a stunningly beautiful view from a mountain top or a sunset on a beach. At that moment, we all realize the power of nature - and it's uncanny ability to transform our surroundings into almost unfathomable grace and wonderment. This piece is dedicated to those moments in our lives....

John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury, 4th Baronet (1834-1913), known as Sir John Lubbock was an English banker, Liberal politician, philanthropist, scientist and polymath. Lubbock worked in his family company as a banker but made significant contributions in archaeology, ethnography, and several branches of biology. He coined the terms "Paleolithic" and "Neolithic" to denote the Old and New Stone Ages, respectively. He helped establish archaeology as a scientific discipline, and was also influential in nineteenth-century debates concerning evolutionary theory.
