Dear Science Readers,<\/p>\n

The previous Science Shelf update included a pointer to a review of Cell of Cells<\/i><\/a> by science journalist Cynthia Fox, a book that puts the science and politics of stem cell research in perspective and provides a detailed look at research and clinical applications.<\/p>\n

An equally hot science\/political topic is global climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have added pages for two important upcoming books on the topic:<\/p>\n

A Contract with the Earth<\/i><\/a> by former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and conservationist Terry L. Maple;<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming<\/i><\/a> by journalist Chris Mooney.<\/p>\n

On a less controversial subject, you might also enjoy discovering my review of the entertaining new book Riddled With Life: Friendly Worms, Ladybug Sex, and the Parasites that Make Us Who We Are<\/i><\/a> by Marlene Zuk.<\/p>\n

We are what we eat–or are we?<\/p>\n

Scientifically yours,
