Books

I haven't been pimping books lately, but it's time.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J. K. Rowling

First, the last Harry Potter book is scheduled for 7/7/07, and if you buy it through this link a portion of the sale goes to the important project of keeping TfK afloat.

Second, the new book by our dear friend Chris Mooney is available for pre-order. Again, buying it through this link lets you give money to two Sciencebloggers:

Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming by Chris Mooney

Finally, I'm making my way through Robert Cato's series on Lyndon Johnson, and finding it disturbingly relevant to life in George W. Bush's America. It's a tale of stolen elections, dishonest double-dealing and the unholy influence of Brown & Root, now a subsidiary of Halliburton. Buy all three:

The Path to Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 1) by Robert A. Caro

Means of Ascent (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 2) by Robert A. Caro

Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro

And if you buy your iTunes or Apple products through the links in the sidebar, TfK gets a cut of that, also.
