10th Muse Odyssey 1 review
Darren G. Davis, Nick Schley, ...
Alias Enterprises, 2005
Directionless and, worse yet, dull
When "Tenth Muse: The Odyssey" came across my desk for review, I didn't know anything about the book or its characters. When I flipped it over and saw that Cindy Margolis -- a downloadable Internet model who proved long before Paris Hilton that you don't have to do anything to become famous -- was the model for the title character, I was underwhelmed. After all, when a book tries to sell itself ...

Darwin's Blind Spot: Evolution Beyond Natural Selection9 reviews
Frank Ryan
Houghton Mifflin, 2002
A look at Symbiosis and
After the emergence of the first examples of prokaryote life, it had been thought that bacteria competed among themselves. That is, if we could intervene into the life of a bacterium and ask the little fellow: What is it that you are doing? What is this imperative that you hold? We would expect the answer that the bacterium holds challenge and necessity. And based on all outward signs it looks as ...

This colorful rhyme teaches counting by twos-two different ways. First, use the even numbers to count up to twenty-four. Then start over with the odd numbers.

The Forgotten Plague: How the Battle Against Tuberculosis Was Won - And Lost 6 reviews
Frank Ryan
Back Bay Books, 1994
Must reading: how science happens. Why is it out of print?
Certainly the great hallmark of modern civilization is the dramatically increased ease of communication, and it is this ease of communication which has so changed the face of modern science. It is fitting, then, that Dr. Ryan begins his book with a brief history of tuberculosis leading up to Koch's epic-making lecture on 24 August 1882 announcing his discovery of the cause of tuberculosis. ...

Cosmic
Frank Cottrell Boyce
Macmillan Digital Audio, 2008
Liam is too big for his boots. And his football strip. And his school blazer. But being super-sized height-wise has its advantages: he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force defying Cosmic rollercoaster - or be offered the chance to drive a Porsche. Long-legged Liam makes a giant leap for boy-kind by competing with a group of adults for the chance to go into space. Is Liam the best boy for the job? Sometimes being big isn't all ...

Great classic reference work
This book is considered to be the standard reference work on basic pole vaulting technique. While times have changed in the sport, Dr. Ryan's approach to it is considered one of the fundamental applications to the basic methodology of technique and tactics in the sport and is a must read for all who are just entering the sport or who have already developed intermediate skills.

The Evolutionary Philosophy of Chauncey Wright (Thoemmes Press - Foundations of American Evolutionism)
Thoemmes Continuum, 2000
'The Wright volumes look like an excellent contribution. It makes me realize again how sad it is that he did not leave more than he did. He was such a seminal figure and contributed so much by way of his reflections on science and evolution in particular as well as the role he played in the origins of pragmatism. It will be good to have the essays in one place and to see what is in the letters. Volume 3 also looks good, as it has the best ...
