Thanks to the Herculean efforts of Bora Zivcovic, the very first anthology of science blogging has been published.
Bora asked for submissions just 3 short weeks ago, and along with a panel of judges waded through 218 blog posts (including one or two from yours truly) to cull out the 50 best blog posts of the year. My posts didn’t make the cut, but don’t let that stop you from reading this marvelous collection from writers who in their real life play physicists, doctors, astronomers, ecologists and more.
I’m just starting my reading, and already I’ve learned that the Big Bang is not really what I thought, that birds can fart, that you can’t divide by zero because it is meaningless (not because it is infinity) and that making love is really making music.
Click here to buy the book (also available as a pdf download) from Lulu publishers. (Great cover, huh?) Next year, they should publish it in time for the holiday shopping, it would make a great gift for the science lover you love…
