To Seek Out New Life: The Biology of Star Trek (Book Review): Re: Sad to say...

» CBJ - Re: Sad to say...

In response to message posted by quasar:

Sorry to hear that, Janice, but everyone has their own taste. It's interesting that Dr. Andreadis had almost completed a degree in astrophysics when she decided to become a biologist.

I also enjoyed Krauss's books very much. I think that his books are more generally appealing than this one because technology tends to be more romantic and exciting.

I myself am much more of a physics person than a biology one -- the mention of things like blood often makes me weak -- but still I found myself caught up in Dr. Andreadis's book. One of the things I liked most about it is the sense of humor and playfulness with which it is written. I think it is equally accessible (in comparison to the Physics of Star Trek) and Dr. Andreadis's language is successful in reaching fans.

I haven't reviewed Krauss's first book on this site yet, but I do have a review of his second, Beyond Star Trek.

Thanks for dropping by Janice and sharing with us. I look forward to your next visit!
