To the FRIAMers who kindly inquired, I'm giving a talk re the book (Hidden
Harmony, Johns Hopkins U Press, 2008) at the Santa Fe Complex, in Santa Fe,
on Wed. evening, Dec. 10, within the 6-8 PM time slot.

Yes, the reviews are impressive, so I've got my order in to Amazon for
two-day delivery. All ready for a book signing.

"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.
John
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.
