SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Arrangement is by title.

Dazzle gradually; reflections on the nature of nature.

Margulis, Lynn and Dorion Sagan.

978-1-933392-31-8

Mind, life, and universe; conversations with great scientists of our time.

Ed. by Lynn Margulis and Eduardo Punset.

978-1-933392-43-1

Ecologist David Suzuki introduces interviews with 37 leading scientists conducted by Punset (a Spanish science popularizer whose 2004 Cara a Cara (Face to Face) was the basis of this book) conveying the passion of scientific inquiry and emphasizing the continuum of life. Per Margulis (geosciences, U. of Massachusetts, Amherst), these readings are for those who agree that "science is the only news...." This news includes insights about primates from Jane Goodall; psychologists on happiness, stress, and consciousness; biologists on evolution; geneticists on immortality; and physicists on the universe's multiple dimensions. The book includes art and biographical sketches of the contributors, readings recommended by them, and a geological timeline. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
