I don't know precisely what was said yet, but multiple folks have emailed me to let me know that my latest just came up on Science Friday, in the context of a discussion of science books of the year. And indeed, Storm World is already listed on the Science Friday website for today's show.
Please post if anyone heard the show and knows what was said...I'll link audio once it's available.
Other science books of 2007 that came up included "The Stuff of Thought" by Steven Pinker, "Einstein, His Life and Universe" by Walter Isaacson, and "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes.

I was browsing the NYTimes list of the 100 notable books of 2007 and was surprised to note that only one science book is included on that list! This is even more amazing when you realize that Natalie Angier, who wrote The Canon (a book that I reviewed but didn't like), was not even included in the…
Right on, Chris... Congratulations again.
