You site is full of great material! I hope I have good luck finding the books at my library (so far I will have to wait it seems).

It is a welcome sight when a scientist can explain “real science” to the public.

Some scientists would keep that sort of feeling tightly under wraps for fear of appearing subjective… does that make sense? In terms of a reading experience, I think it’s far more effective for the writer to let their fascination shine through!

The book sounds like an effective “textbook case” of scientific prose. Thanks for sharing.
