For readers who appreciate my reviews of popular science books, I apologize for my long hiatus from posting. I had cataract surgery in August and had complications that have made reading books difficult.<\/p>\n

I have finally dealt with those complications to the point that I am beginning to catch up with a stack of books. In the very near future, I will publish a roundup of 2018 science books that I hope will help you with your holiday giving.<\/p>\n

Later this month or in early December, I will publish a full review of Peter Ward’s \"cover\"Lamarck’s Revenge: How Epigenetics Is Revolutionizing Our Understanding of Evolution’s Past and Present<\/em><\/A>.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
