"I now know that there is a happy abundance of science writers who pen the most lucid and thrilling prose - Timothy Ferris,Richard Fortey,and Tim Flannery/... but sadly,none of them wrote any textbook I ever used. All mine were written by men(it was always men)who held the interesting notion that everything became clear when expressed as a formula and the amusingly deluded belief that the children of America would appreciate having chapters end with a section of questions they would mull over in their own time."
-Bill Bryson, 'A short history of nearly everthing'
