Over at Cocktail Party Physics Jennifer Ouellette has a two-part interview (1 and 2) with Eric Roston, author of the upcoming book The Carbon Age. It's definitely worth a look, and you can definitely expect to hear a bit more about The Carbon Age here in the not-too-distant future (~next Sunday, A.D.). Eric also has his own blog, Carbon Nation, and I definitely recommend that you check it out.
