Highlights include comments and links to more information about the following titles:<\/p>\n

\u2022 A Left-Hand Turn Around the World: Chasing the Mystery and Meaning of All Things Southpaw by David Wolman<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Republican War on Science<\/a> by Chris Mooney (another lefty, some would say)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Our Inner Ape: A Leading Primatologist Explains Why We Are Who We Are<\/a> by Frans de Waal (review includes an opening limerick and a quotation from the book about bonobos and the Kama Sutra)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Beating Back the Devil: On the Front Lines with the Disease Detectives of the Epidemic Intelligence Service<\/a> by Maryn McKenna (not a new book, but worth another look)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Out of Gas by David Goodstein and The End of Oil by Paul Roberts<\/a>, two prescient 2004 books that are now available in paperback. Notably, the paperback edition of The End of Oil has an afterword that is anything but comforting. The current spike in gasoline prices due to the destructive effects of Hurricane Katrina may be a preview of frequent conditions in the volatile oil market to come.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Planets<\/a> by Dava Sobel<\/p>\n

\u2022 In the “tooting my own horn” department, Beyond Jupiter: The Story of Planetary Astronomer Heidi Hammel<\/a> by Fred Bortz, part of the “Women’s Adventures in Science” series for middle-grade readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
