RefDesk.com
http://www.refdesk.com
There’s not much that can be said about RefDesk.com – except that it is the
most complete set of reference materials on the web. There is access to several important search
engines, dictionaries and thesauri, people searches, white pages, newspapers,
photos, news sources, science and technology, encyclopedias – and virtually
(no pun intended) everything else you might need to find on the web. This is an important “favorite” to add to
your web browser for all those times when you need to find something fast.

evolution of the eye. The links are

dissections, hundreds of eye pictures, the differences among mammal, insect,
fish, other types of eyes, and more.
Be sure to check the “Eye to Eye Gallery” link at the bottom of the
