Chris Mooney's excellent book The Republican War on Science is now available in paperback. So if you didn't buy it in hardcover, shame on you! But now you have a chanc eto redeem yourself.
Kidding aside, Mooney does a first-rate job of confirming what anyone who has been paying attention has long suspected: That the power brokers in the Republican Party are almost uniformly hostile to science and its findings. Buy it and read it immediately!

Well, yesterday was the official pub date for the paperback RWOS: I haven't been to a major bookstore yet to see if they're there, but they ought to be. Meanwhile, my thanks to all the blogs who noted the pub date and commented, including the following in no particular order:

I don't have my copy yet of the latest edition of Chris Mooney's The Republican War on Science, but I've been told that it's on its way. And, believe me, I'll bump it up to the top of my reading list when I get it, so you can expect a review sometime soon.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I never…
Chris Mooney is trying to kill me.
It's true. He sent me this book, The Republican War on Science(amzn/b&n/abe/pwll) (now available in a new paperback edition!), that he knew would send my blood pressure skyrocketing, give me apoplexy, and cause me to stroke out and die, gasping, clawing in…
Back in May, the DAMOP keynote address was delivered by a DoE program officer who basically chided scientists for being politically active, in a "you have only yourselves to blame if your funding gets cut" sort of way. Obviously, she hasn't read The Republican War on Science, or she'd understand…
runescape accounts isn't just about building up your skills and your bank account. Sometimes you need to get out, meet new people...AND KILL THEM! After a certain amount of time you get to a point where some jerk desperately needs to catch a fireball in the face, or a sword between the ribs. It's fun, but you should always remember that it's an actual person behind the screen there. This means two things. Firstly it's nice
to be respectful to them( about the fact you just slaughtered their hapless hide!), and secondly - they will usually be much more challenging and runescape gold in how they fight back than stock runecraft monsters.But basics first. You want to pkill - go to the wilderness. Turn north and walk for ages and you'll get there. The further into the wilderness you venture the more dangerous things become. The trick is in making sure it's dangerous for the other guy and not you. Ideally
you'll want to attack someone of runescape power leveling,
and you'll want to hit them from the south. If you hit them from the south they need to run north to get away from you. The further north they go the sooner they hit wilderness level 20. Once they get there they can't escape you by teleporting - you OWN them!
