The most remarkable thing about the stories: Regis reveals that these seemingly disparate communities are all interwoven in unexpected ways. Even Evel Knievel makes a surprise visit in the chapter on personal rocket ships. Very Highly Recommended, and likely to become an Amazon.com Books customer favorite. 2553882 1990 Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition: Science Slightly Over the Edge total:53|5:19|4:14|3:15|2:5| 53 206 91 9 665412 0201567512 9780201567519 48 8 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176920994m/665412.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/665412.Great_Mambo_Chicken_and_the_Transhuman_Condition_Science_Slightly_Over_the_Edge 3 0 false Sun Jul 27 22:02:36 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 22:08:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 665412 0201567512 9780201567519 48 8 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176920994m/665412.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/665412.Great_Mambo_Chicken_and_the_Transhuman_Condition_Science_Slightly_Over_the_Edge 5 0 false Tue Oct 06 11:28:29 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 11:30:03 -0700 2009 665412 0201567512 9780201567519 48 8 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176920994m/665412.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/665412.Great_Mambo_Chicken_and_the_Transhuman_Condition_Science_Slightly_Over_the_Edge 3 0 false Sun Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jan 30 05:04:09 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 22 12:00:20 -0700 2008
