Anner--
So happens that Colin Tudge, a well-known British writer specializing on
popular science, is a friend of mine! In fact I'm expecting the
manuscript of a new book of his on biodiversity any day now to be checked
for accuracy in various things. Colin's a fine writer with a real talent
for making science accessible, but I confess I have not read this
particular book of his. If it's like his others, though, it should be
pretty good.
Best wishes, Bill
