HTML5 / CSS Bleg

By -
I am trying to put images and captions in a figure tag, put the image to the left side of the screen, and center the caption underneath the image. Everything I read online says I just need to put 'text-align: center' in my CSS file for the figcaption tag, and I should be good to go. But when I do this, at least on Safari, the caption gets centered on the page, not under the image!

Here's a page where I was attempting this (I've now centered the image itself in despair).

And here's the CSS file definitions of figure and figcaption:


figure {
    text-align: center;
/*    margin: 12px 20px 12px 100px;  */
}

figcaption {
    color: #606;
    font-style: italic;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 16px 20px 12px 20px;

}


Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

By -
 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose
