Synopsis
Steve Mirsky, humorist-turned-podcaster, has entertained and provoked readers of Scientific American magazine in his “Anti Gravity” column for the past ten years. With his sharp wit, wide-ranging interests, and droll application of a scientific viewpoint to pop culture, he has covered topics ranging from CSI’s influence on college majors to the cheap-Formica-billed woodpecker, from the absurdities of creation “science” to the inanities of politicians trying to address scientific topics on Sunday-morning talk shows. Podcasting is expanding Mirsky’s audience and this book is timed to serve the rising interest in this fresh writing talent.
