Microcosm is a very worthy book, and that's some pretty heady company it's in. The nominees remind me of the exceptionally good crop of popular science books that have come out recently. I look forward to your next (well--not Tangled Bank because I can't afford that one, but the next one I can afford). Yes, best wishes.

I won't add the link as I trust any curious person could go find this themselves. Regardless, her talk was great. The new cover looks good too. I love SEMs. Looks like bacteria encountering a macrophage.

As with your other work, it is VERY good and an enjoyable read. I greatly enjoyed meeting and talking with you at the SWARM meeting. Carl: I am reading the copy you autographed for me in Tulsa.

(It was the first book I read on my Kindle, actually.) Since not all the science books I want to read are available on Kindle, may I suggest (in my own self-serving way) that a lovely topic for a post might be science books you recommend that **are** available on Kindle?

I especially enjoyed the last couple of chapters. The "New Scientist" quote on the new cover is a good one. I just finished reading the hardcover edition this morning.
