But, as you've returned, we should return to the topic.

Thanks Tom,
Don Begley already suggested that some time ago, and suggested as
well that it be in the form of a "blender". I've been out of town
quite a bit, in CA twice and on the East coast , from which we
returned yesterday (voted early).
Meanwhile, I'll be giving a talk at Artisan, on Cerrillos Rd. on the
15th at 11 AM. That audience will likely be primarily artists
(That's my guess anyway.)
PS I do live in Santa Fe.

"Hidden Harmony" does look like an interesting read. How soon can
we expect to see you in Santa Fe to give a presentation (and book
signing?) at the Santa Fe Complex (www.sfcomplex.org)?

Subject: [FRIAM] Book List
It's getting close to that time of year when I tell my relatives
which books I would like to receive for Christmas. (This is looked
on as a favor as I am otherwise a tough person to shop for). I have
already gotten some good leads (including the David Wilson books and
The Hemingses and Paul Krugman). I would be delighted to receive
more suggestions.

OK John,
Now that the election is over and we are all near saturation over
that and, as well, with purported causes and solutions for the
financial meltdown, how about a change of pace in books? (Not that
one has exhausted useful inputs on those subjects.)
In all lack of humility, may I suggest my new book, which should
appeal to some of the FRIAM people, oriented analytically and
scientifically as many of us are. While it is really oriented toward
non-technical people, it does take a fresh look at how physics and
the visual arts touch each other.
To get a glance on the Internet, put in " Hidden Harmony
Leibowitz." and look at the Amazon entry as well as the Johns
Hopkins Press one.
It's awkward to toot one's own horn, but when you write for people
with whom you want to share ideas, it is compelling to wish to reach
out to them.
(All of you who've been involved in such projects well know one
doesn't do it for the money. I have 36 color prints in the book and
have had to pay for permissions for most of them, so, if the book
sells out, I will have paid off the cost of the first printing, and
would need to start all over again if there are additional
printings.Maybe the next one should have a nude on the cover instead
of a Cezanne still life and a detail of the double slit interference
experiment.)
Of course, I would want the usual FRIAM exchange of discussion
Thatt's what it's all about, isn't it.
