Now on ScienceBlogs: Map that Campus L
The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.
Corpus Callosum is written by a psychiatrist at a small community hospital somewhere in the USA. Email to cc.scienceblogger at gmail dot com.

I read this (Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson) when I was in fifth or sixth grade. It was a little paperback book on my Dad's bookshelf. So it was quite a shock to see it included as an "honorable mention"...
