Synopses & Reviews
Steve Mirsky, humorist and podcaster, has entertained and provoked readers of
Scientific American magazine in his "Anti Gravity” column for the past ten years. With his sharp wit, wide-ranging interests, and droll application of a scientific viewpoint to pop culture, Mirsky has covered topics ranging from CSI's influence on college majors to the cheap-Formica-billed woodpecker, from the absurdities of creation "science" to the inanities of politicians trying to address scientific topics on Sunday-morning talk shows. This book offers the best of Mirsky's smart sensibility to fans new and old.
