Just starting off a seperate thread to make it easier for people to see who has offered to review which books.

You might want to have a quick flick through this thread on Ask. I was touting for business. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=657296 Alex.

Rudy Rucker - The Fourth Dimension
A guide to understanding higher dimensional spaces like space-time. It starts off by exploring an imaginary two dimensional world called Flatland, originaly described by E. A. Abbot in the 19th Century.

Can we use this brief summary from Atomic Iguana?

I'm working my way through the threads, requesting summaries/reviews from those researchers that made suggestions.

Done.

Also just added reviews of:
Stephen Budiansky - Air Power - A4280311
Stephen Budiansky - The Battle Of Wits - A4285172

The pages are starting to look a little less bare now.

I've tried to do a chuk of summaries, but they seem to expand into reviews surprisingly easily.

I'll be away for a month in a few weeks, so I guess there will have to be a halt in updating.

No worries P. It's going well, don't you think?
Are you enjoying it?

I'm definitely happier now the lists aren't so bare, and am enjoying it most of the time.

After Friday's rather intensive effort I found it quite hard to concentrate on reading anything at all on Saturday, but a lower rate of a review or two per day is probably bearable. I do have some other stuff I should probably be doing as well before going away.
