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.Mirsky, Steve is the author of 'Anti Gravity Allegedly Humorous Writing From Scientific American', published 2007 under ISBN 9781599211152 and ISBN 1599211157.
