Ethologist

I thought by now, if not the all the 'logy', atleast all the kinds would be known.

Valance

This word is best appreciated with an image. What is a word for the ones like sky which could be so different?

Photogravure

What I like best about this is the 2D to 3D translation.

All Steins in the world

When I came across a place called Alderstein in The dove in the Eagle's nest by Charlotte Mary Yonge, the word that was trying to make way into my head was Goldstein. I dont think I know any Goldstein, may be it was to be Gertrude Stein. Slowly Einstein came to my mind. He is from Ulm too, where the first story is set. Stein is stone or jug in German. While I was wondering why Einstein would have a last name like 'one jug'.. Alderstein had a more interesting story. So eagles have their own set of talisman.
