Prize Fight
It will come as no revelation to scientifically literate readers that the frontiers of research are often battlegrounds. While it breaks no new ground, this book and others of its kind help keep scientists honest. Recommended.
PREMIUM
Ignorance
Ignorance, it turns out, is really quite profound, and this is a good introduction to the subject. For a book the author states is intended to be read in one or two sittings, it raises issues worthy of much more thought. Prospective readers include students considering careers in science, fans of popular science, practicing scientists, and readers interested in the sociology and philosophy of science.

Powering the Future
A pragmatic, authoritative look into energy alternatives for general readers. Another perspective is Robert and Edward Ayres's Crossing the Energy Divide: Moving from Fossil Fuel Dependence to a Clean-Energy Future.

Dollarapalooza; or, The Day Peace Broke Out in Columbus
This debut by librarian and longtime LJ reviewer Sapp is a fun-filled fantasy in which the little guy wins through chutzpah, luck, and great good humor. Mix in large helpings of homey philosophy, common sense, and truth, lavishly documented with footnotes, and you have an outside-the-box tale too good to miss. [Switchgrass Books is dedicated to Midwestern literary fiction.—Ed.]

World Wide Mind
Both books give views on future networked brains. Chorost's empathetic account of how that is possible and what it would feel like is highly recommended. Nicolelis's expert study is a slog in places and the content is technical. However, it does give an insider's view from a lab. Both are recommended for students and motivated readers.

Seeing Further
This is a commemorative, collector's item with world-class contributors, worth acquiring for that reason alone. Its most ardent readers will be science history buffs.
