A few more reviews of my book have surfaced…
If you read just one review of Death from the Skies!, let it be this one. You’ll see why.
You can also read ones from the Apex Book Company (not to be confused with the Susquehanna Hat Company), World of Weird Things (true enough), and Austroscepticus.
Of course, if you read the book, you can write your own review and I’ll link to it here.
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."

”My advice is to buy the book”
Sounds like a good review to me!

Hmm, I should write a review just for the fun of it!
Although I have so many other projects sitting on the back burner right now…

(you know somebody was going to say it.)

Wow, that QA review rocked! That kid has a bright future indeed.

Isn’t there a danger the book would be reviewed to death?
I wish reviews counted as citations; that might encourage me to write a book.
OK, now to go check out that review that has BA raving.

Will there be an opportunity to get the book signed at TAM in July?
I finally ordered a copy from JREF when I booked TAM the other day, along with Neil Tyson’s latest.

I want this book, but its not out in the UK.
Phil you got any idea when/if it will be??
March 12th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Dave, are you sure it’s not at AmazonUK? I thought several bloggers here got their copies that way.
I have my signed JREF version, and I love it. It’s my precious! Sadly I am stuck at the office, so I can’t reach my blog to write right now.

You know I didn’t quite think of that (altho I prefer going to a book shop) and it is on the UK site, looks like a birthday present
Thanks for the link Arensb.
