In its latest issue, Library Journal singled out 39 noteworthy sci-tech books published in 2007. Storm World was one of two chosen in the "meteorology/earth science" category.
Not sure why 39 overall were chosen, but...an honor to share a list with people like Steven Pinker, Natalie Angier, and Walter Isaacson.
Once again, the Storm World paperback--with a new afterword, just written by moi--can be pre-ordered here at 5 % off....
...and now, back to our election coverage.

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…

Every year for the last several years I've collated and extracted the science books from all the various "best books of the year" lists in different media media outlets. I've done the same this year for books published in 2011! I can tell it's been popular among my readers from the hit stats I…
Congratulations Chris.
I remain in awe.
Congrats.
Librarians are going to use a list like this to help them order popular science for their collections. Even a smallish public library can easily order one or two books in each area per year. School libraries, academic libraries...these lists help us all spend out budgets on quality stuff.
I know I've already printed the list out and will be ordering most of the books we don't already have.
Congratulations.
Maybe the 39 was a veiled reference a Hitchcock movie.
