Amusing list of forthcoming science books: (FTrain)
Steven Jay Gould, The Coiled Yak in the Basket
Applying the logic of evolution, Gould connects the shape of the long-haired Yak's exocrine system to the width of the sloth's jaw, then describes a relation between boar trotters and race profiling. The book concludes with a natural history of giblets. With special foreward by Martin Gardner, "Why I am Cranky."
