untitled For kids, altruism comes naturally, psychologist says Stanford Report, November 5, 2008 By Adam Gorlick L.A. Cicero Psychologist Michael Tomasello, who delivered the 2008 Tanner Lectures in Human Values last week on campus, speaks at a discussion session Oct. 30. Drop something in front of a 2-year-old, and she's likely to pick it up for you. They all may be cute gestures by a child otherwise preoccupied with toilet training.

The native Londoner first discovered the beauty of Africa's majestic creatures sprawled out on the breathtakingly unaltered landscapes in 1995, when he was still making music videos, practicing his formal training in film. It isn't all gut-wrenching photography, though. Nick Brandt's website
