The Telescope in the Ice: Inventing a New Astronomy at the South Pole

[Vidya]

That book sounds very interesting !

[Bill's]

We need some suggestions for books to read in October.

[Vidya]

Actually I like the book suggested ! :) So not adding this month ...

[Magomed]

What are the rules? Only recently published or any?

[Bill's]

We haven't made any rules, other than it should be science related. It would also be a good idea to check if the book is easily obtainable.

[Magomed]

Then I would offer a book by Elia Mechnikov, a 1908 recipient of the Nobel Prize for the discovery of immunity. He is also the father of modern probiotics. His book is titled “The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies” (1907), and it explores a wide range of topics from intestinal health, to optimism versus pessimism, to the personality of Goethe and his Faust.
