PopScience is dedicated to book reviews of the popular science kind. It is 100% unprofessional and subjective and mainly intended as the virtual equivalent of this conversation:
- “Have you read ‘Science is Cool’ by Arthur Magoo?”
- “Yeh, I thought it was boring. Cool pictures of mutant Drosophila though.”
- “Ah, thanks. I might pick it up if I ever feel like seeing wingless fruitflies.”
Feedback is always welcome and if anyone feels like contributing a review, drop me a line.
I will attempt to post a new review once a month. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Currently reading: “The Selfish Gene”, Richard Dawkins

“Unweaving the Rainbow” by Dawkins would also be an excellent book to review!

Thank you Gary! Hope you’ll keep coming back, even though I don’t update very frequently (for obvious reasons).

Well, I, in turn, will try pop(!) in here.
I actually have Barabasi’s Linked (although it was an accidental inheritance, so I doubt I’ll ever read it).
