Yesterday's mystery pic was a detail of the wonderful library of UCSD, the University of California at San Diego, perched atop Torrey Pines a few miles south of here. It's a lovely place to study: since the shelves of books fan out from the center, you're always looking out into the surrounding eucalpytus forest. I used to come here as a high school student and listen to music, back in the old days when the music collection was all LPs and I had, believe it or not, a small yellow motorcycle - are my parents cool or what?Since then, the USCD campus has grown by leaps and bounds - lots of new construction this summer too - and the library's spread underground. And it's been named (or renamed) Geisel Library, after Dr. Theodore Geisel, a famous local writer. Anyone know what he was famous for, and under what name?
