Anton (nonfiction writing and English, DePaul U.) examines the "scientific new wave" by profiling the work of seven researchers: gene hunter Craig Venture, neuroscientist Susan Greenfield, astronomer Geoffrey Marcy, immunologist Polly Matzinter, cosmologist Saul Perlmutter, ecologist Gretchen Daily, and evolutionist Carl Woese. Anton considers not only the people, but the process of discovery and the creative nature of scientific thought. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Store Description

A bookstore with that lost independent feel ? a relaxed, inviting environment conducive to discovery, where quality takes precedence over quantity, where the books marginalized by commercial concerns have a home. If you come in looking for something specific, we will have it or we will find it for you. If you're looking for nothing in particular, you can lose yourself in a world of new ideas.
