Favourites
Favourites is our section for very brief introductions
to highly recommended books. These paragraphs are not so much
reviews as an idea of what to expect if you choose to read
from any given book. We will cast our net widely in determining
which books to include in this section. Science for the general
reader, history, philosophy, sociology, biography, all will
be represented
If you wish to contribute to this section by submitting an
introduction to a book, please email
the editor with your suggestion.
