The risk one is great for people who address medical skepticism all the time. Kozubek’s book is a must read for life science teachers.

The quirky nature of stuff is really interesting. Apparently, if stuff wasn’t as quirky there would be almost nothing interesting going on.

You keep suggesting these must-read books! I feel like the fellow in the old Bic Pen commercial who shouted “Stop writing!”

But seriously, they all sound fascinating and I will add them to my Amazon list.

Most fascinating to me is A fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely tuned Cosmos. But I must say that the notion of the universe being “finely tuned” smacks of something like creationism — or perhaps the Manifest Destiny of the 1800s, which held that North America existed for Europeans to populate and rule.
