Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Interesting Pop Science Books

Just thought a list of decent books of this type might be of interest to a few people. I want titles and then a description of why you recommend it. I'll post up more later if I get a chance etc. To start the ball rolling "In Search of Schroedinger's Kittens"/"In search of Schroedinger's Cat" - John Gribbon. Excellent…

Science, by Azimov, sums up a huge swathe of science in one volume
The Flamingos tale by Stephen Gould, lots of essays about biology

again anything by Feynman

the Ancestors tale by rDawkins is good, clearly explains evolution, but has a few political barbs, that are probably dated already
