Coming Soon
By Brian Clegg
After my voluntary break from popular science over the Christmas period, I’ve also had a dearth of review copies for books out in January. But there’s a whole heap of both science and science fiction titles sitting on the review pile – so while reviews themselves are in short supply, here’s a few books where the reviews are coming soon:
- Already published (awaiting copy) – Into the Great Wide Ocean - Sönke Johnsen - takes readers inside the peculiar world of the seagoing scientists who are providing tantalizing new insights into how the animals of the open ocean solve the problems of their existence.
- 4 February – Hoodwinked – Mara Einstein – from viral leggings to must-have apps, exposes the hidden parallels between cult manipulation and modern marketing strategies in this eye-opening investigation. Reveals how companies weaponize psychology to transform casual customers into devoted followers.
- 6 February - Phenomena - Camille Juzeau and The Shelf Company – from fireflies to the Big Bang, from the magnificent maps of the world’s sands to the anatomy of ice crystals, these 125 illustrated graphic phenomena are designed to take you on a stroll through the vast world of knowledge.
- 13 February – Against the Odds – John and Mary Gribbin – highlights the achievements of women who overcame hurdles and achieved scientific success (although not always as much as they deserved) in spite of male prejudice, as society changed over about 150 years, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. Includes Eunice Newton Foote, who discovered the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect; Chien-Shiung Wu, who discovered the law which allows matter to exist in the Universe today; and Barbara McClintock, who discovered how genes turn on and off.
- 27 February – Pagans – James Alistair Henry – an alternative history crime novel set in a 21st century London where the Norman conquest never happened and Christianity is a minor cult, with modern Britain based on the ancient tribes – but murders still need to be solved.
- 1 March – Amazing Worlds of Science Fiction and Science Fact - Keith Cooper - explores the fictional planets from films such as Star Wars, Dune and Avatar, and discusses how realistic they are based on our current scientific understanding and astronomical observations.
- 13 March – The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire - Henry Gee – inspired by Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Human Empire, Gee follows up his Royal Society Prize winner A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth with a book that plots the future of humanity, suggesting that space habitats may be the best way to keep our species alive.
