Yours and Nancy's stories are a great bonus, but it's the first aspect that made me buy it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. The process of purchasing the e-book was a story in itself, as it requires an Adobe ID. Finally, I found that I had unwittingly got one via subscription to photo shop.<br /><br />To return the favour, I was drawn by this weeks Science magazine to a new book, a personal account of the history of gravitational waves and the LIGO project, by Harry Collins it's called Gravity's Kiss. I'm a biochemist, but I have been really drawn to this story and it's final chapter which emerged recently. I even commentated on my blog! www.blog.cjohnarthur.com...C.John Arthurhttp://www.cjohnarthur.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-1151491847494255832017-02-26T23:19:47.124-08:002017-02-26T23:19:47.124-08:00This looks cool.

It'd be nice to read during down time, and I think many of the children's parents would also find it interesting (hopefully the kids take an interest as well!).<br />Also, I read Slow Bullets recently and liked it very much; it's got such a great sense of atmosphere to it. I almost immediately loaned it to a friend and bought another copy so that my younger brother wouldn't have to wait to read it.
