Title: Nit-picking, indeed
Review: The long and thoughtful comment below may, in fact, be accurate. Mistakes do creep into the publishing process, unfortunately. But as someone who has been involved in the professional science community for many years, I feel these small errors should be overlooked in the interest of the greater whole. This is a major, highly readable work by one of the most important scientists and journalists of our time. Beautifully illustrated, each of the chapters is compelling in its own right and can be read by anyone with a keen sense of curiosity about the scientific discovery process. To see it as anything less is quibbling indeed. Fans of "Uncle Tungsten" by my neighbor Dr Oliver Sacks and the current popular hit "Tuxedo Park" will love this beautifully packaged book and find it every bit as accessible and riveting.
