So, it isn't less in-depth or anything? That's some odd titling

Brief : 256pgs Briefer: 176pgs So the updated Brief is the one to go for, though only available as an eBook in the UK currently I think. http://www.waterstones.com/waterston...ook29/7350246/ http://ebooks.whsmith.co.uk/0A88455A...0-A863D4031F4F http://www.booksattransworld.co.uk/c...ata=1409092364 |

Don't suppose anyone could e-mail Oxford University Press and ask them to make 'The Surprising Archaea: Discovering a New Domain of Life' by John L. Howland, it's now out of print and was published in 2000, ISBN 9780195111835. Was watching the Horizon episode 'Why do Viruses Kill?' and archaea popped up and sounded interesting. I've e-mailed them, hopefully if enough people do then they'll make it available. I thought about e-mailing the author but as far as I can tell John L. Howland passed away October 18th 2009, if it's the same John L. Howland that was a Professor of Natural Sciences and Professor of Biology and Biochemistry Emeritus at Bowdoin College.
Has anybody got any recommendations for ebooks about virology, bacteriology or medicine? Has anyone read Killer Germs by Barry and David Zimmerman? Last edited by seagull; 03-02-2010 at 02:41 PM. |

This sounds interesting. E.O. Wilson has joined the small cabal of scientists who are also novelists.
Adam Rogers interviewed E.O. Wilson for the latest print version of Wired magazine. In the introductory remarks to that short article, Rogers writes that Wilson's new book, Anthill, "tells the parallel stories of Raff Cody, a southern lawyer trying to preserve the wilderness of his youth, and the epic territorial wars among the ants that inhabit the land." |

I been wanting to read that Physics of the Impossible. I remember hearing about it before, but I was watching his show on the Science Channel last night and he mentioned it and I was like I totally forgot!
Also has anyone read his other book? http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/mic...00000000048659 Last edited by rock; 04-20-2010 at 04:26 PM. |

Allow me to second the recommendation for Dan Falk, Time: In Search of a Curious Dimension. Awesome book - well worth a look.

Warning: the Kindle version is in the TOPAZ format. This is the first "Agency Pricing" ebook I have seen in TOPAZ. It is also available as an ePub at the Sony store, but only for sale in Canada.

Bought Physics of the Impossible today!
I been wanting to read this. Though I was thinking of brushing up on some of my physics. Physics for Dummies good? or should I go for a good old text book? Though I have a 5' EZ Reader |

Most of the Dummies books are pretty good. Might be best to check out a couple of physics texts from the library.
