Book News

Dear website readers,

Since many of you have been reading snippets of my book on this site for the last few years, I thought I'd copy the announcement of my June 17th talk at the American Museum of Natural History for those of you who aren't members. [The summer Calendar for members just went out.] June 17th is almost two weeks before the book's official publication date, but there WILL be copies of the book available at the event that evening. [It may be the first time I see the finished book myself. ] You can reserve tickets by phone--a number I've used in the past is 212-769-5200. Or on line, or just come on the day and get tickets then.
