My name is Merlin Tuttle. People call me the godfather of modern bat conservation. I've spent six decades disproving common misconceptions about bats, and I’m still going strong.
I have photographed hundreds (of the 1,300 ) species of bats, and trained them all over the world. I founded Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation to teach the world to understand and appreciate the vital contributions bats make to the world we live in. My conservation work and photography has been featured in five National Geographic articles and my newest book, Bats: an Illustrated Guide to All Species, was recently published by Smithsonian Books.
Ask me about how climate change is affecting bats, how bats help with pesticide addiction, the consequences of humans’ fear of bats, or anything else!

EDIT: That's all for now, folks! Thanks so much for all your wonderful questions, we had so much fun answering them.
I recently finished The Godfather Part II for the first time. In my own humble opinion, it is the greatest film ever made. Opinions?
Christopher’s gone but 100 years from now people will still be watching CLEAVER.
What are the crime families in the Godfather based on. i know the corleone family is based off the Bonanno crime family but what are the solazzo and barzini etc families based off?

This was a great article about the power that The Godfather had in affecting the art of storytelling, and this is one of many reasons why it is so highly regarded.
The article goes over many other films that have influenced and influenced the art of storytelling, as well as some of the other films that influenced the art of storytelling through the years.
After watching the movies countless times I have finally read the book. It was amazing how much I enjoyed it with all the additional back story on the characters and the explanation behind some of the decisions.
What I was a little bit puzzled about is Lucy Mancini’s story... Her marriage, operation etc... I can’t really figure out what Puzo wanted with this... what do you think? I was thinking maybe it was just an excuse in the story to solve Johnny Fontaine’s voice problem but it just seem to be quite a long winded way to do it especially as Johnny wasn’t that central of a character neither.
Otherwise I loved the book and I would recommend it to people who love the movie.
Do you like it? Do you think it deserves to be regarded as high as it is??
