I just wish I had access to it other than purchasing it. There are several selections I would have seconded if I had free access (library or otherwise). I don't feel right voting/nominating something I know I won't be able to read.

I'll second Gaviotas and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
Thanks Tom; hopefully it still might make it. I haven't read any books like this in a long while and it sounds very interesting. Last edited by sun surfer; 06-27-2014 at 12:58 AM. |

In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that there's a delay on the shipping date on one of the books I nominated, Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanins of Life by Daniel Bennett. Now it appears from an email I got today that it won't be arriving until July 8, which is cutting things a bit close the date of our discussion for a book of this size and type.

Unless there are any more nominations between now and midnight EST it looks as though they'll only be six nominations this month, but those six represent a good mix of choices: three on science, two on recent history, and one on Biblical history from the perspective of archeology and higher criticism.

Excellent set of nominations, even if only six - a tough choice.
