Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium (Apr 30 2004 07:32 GMT) - Carl Sagan is my hero.Carl Sagan has got to be one of the most wonderfully brilliant human beings to ever walk the Earth. Sure there was Da Vinci and Einstein, Newton and Feynman, all responsible for probably far more important scientific discoveries than Carl Sagan. The reason I think Carl Sagan beats them all hands down is because he never denied the spiritual side of life. He wasn't religious himself, but he understood that others needed to believe in something wondrous, something bigger than ... |

In Code: A Mathematical Journey (Apr 30 2004 07:32 GMT) - In the course of flying over to Paris, I bought a book at Heathrow called In Code, by Sarah Flannery. Sarah was a teenage student in County Cork, Ireland, who's father is a math professor.

Lisp in Small Pieces (Apr 30 2004 07:32 GMT) - I have been reading Christian Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces over the past couple of weeks.
