Steve
Mirsky, humorist-turned-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, he 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. Podcasting is expanding Mirsky’s
audience and this book is timed to serve the rising interest in this
fresh writing talent.
