Jerry A. Coyne, Ph.D is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. He writes a website named Why Evolution Is True, wherein I just viewed an entry he has titled Amazing paper sculptures of animals.
And, in my opinion, the sculptures truly are amazing. I could scarcely believe that a person (Calvin Nicholls) could sculpt such lifelike figures of animals using only paper as a medium.
Or see even more of the Calvin Nicholls sculptures at

WORD FOR TODAY
afterword
noun
An afterword is a literary device that is often found at the end of a piece of literature. It generally covers the story of how the book came into being, or of how the idea for the book was developed.
Alternatively, it may be written by someone other than the author of the book to provide enriching comment, such as discussing the work's historical or cultural context (especially if the work is being reissued many years after its original publication).
"afterword" is often confused with "afterward" which is an adverb meaning: at a later or subsequent time; subsequently.
Truman Streckfus Persons, known as Truman Capote was an American author, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel." At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced from Capote novels, stories and screenplays.
Note:
Some time in the 1940s Capote wrote a novel set in New York City about the summer romance of a socialite with a parking lot attendant. Capote later claimed to have destroyed the manuscript of this novel; but twenty years after his death, in 2004, it came to light that the manuscript had been retrieved from the trash back in 1950 by a house sitter at an apartment formerly occupied by Capote. The novel was published in 2006 by Random House under the title Summer Crossing.
