I receive a fair number of books to review each week, so I thought I should do what several magazines and other publications do; list those books that have arrived in my mailbox so you know that this is the pool of books from which I will be reading and reviewing on my blog.
Fresh: A Perishable History by Susanne Freidberg (Belknap Press; 2009). Review copy.
Falconer on the Edge: A Man, His Birds, and the Vanishing Landscape of the American West by Rachel Dickinson (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 2009). Review copy.
Birdsong by the Seasons: A Year of Listening to Birds by Donald Kroodsma (Houghton Mifflin; 2009). Review copy.
Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World by Eugenie Samuel Reich (Palgrave Macmillan; 2009). Review copy.
Laboratory Life by Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar (Princeton University Press; 1986). Gift.
One book waiting for attention at my place is Bernd Heinrich's WINTER WORLD in a trade paperback edition I picked up at Hartsfield in Atlanta during a layover recently. Rome wasn't built in a day, but Atlanta came close, heh.
HI:
If you like Heinrich's Winter World, check out his new sequel: Summer World. See:
