or

Trespassing on Einstein's Lawn: A Father, a Daughter, the Meaning of Nothing, and the Beginning of Everything by Amanda Gefter

[Menno]

Not sure whether one should blow one's own trumpet (pun not intended), but here's my new book: Nature's Nether Regions: What the Sex Lives of Bugs, Birds, and Beasts Tell Us About Evolution, Biodiversity, and Ourselves Menno Schilthuizen

[Kris]

Three books on my shelf for reading, and I'd quite like a buddy or two:
1) Pandora's Seed: The Unforeseen Cost of Civilizationby Spencer Wells.
2 ) Say Goodbye to the Cuckoo by Michael McCarthy
3)The Neanderthals Rediscovered: How Modern Science Is Rewriting Their Story by Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A. Morse

[Brett]

Sex and the Origins of Death by Wm. Clark. A spectacular book about why and how biology dictates our death. And I've ordered Pandora's Seed from Amazon. Will start in a week.

Thank you - I've been looking forward to getting around to reading this for some time now. I'm really pleased for the opportunity. I hope it brings up some fruitful discussion.

Great! I'm looking forward to reading this book. I just put a hold on it at our library.
